Frontlines Feedback

Bring back 8 man parties.


Remove or unlink the three teams from GCs. If not, remove option to not freelance and enforce it at all times.

Could we have a text command for the melee version of bolt?

I need it to make a macro that switches both versions whenever I change class.

Yea faster queues for PvP, awesome! To bad this whole shtick of only having the new mode be the only mode that queues up for the frontline daily isn't helping out newer players in the pvp scene! Granted, its bad enough I waited 3 days just for seal rock to be back up cause I really want that coat! But now I cant because nobody is queuing up for the seal rock cause everyone is only getting queued up for the new mode, nor does it help that this is the new "daily"!
I don't mind the new mode, I really don't...but please just add it to the rotation, have seal rock be tomorrow, and then Fields of Glory, and then Borderlands, and then resets back to Onsal Hakair.

This sounds logical, but then the reality becomes people will just queue on Onsal Hakair day and that's it.

I am finding that if I am not in a pre made party I have an extremely hard time doing anything in front line right now. it feels extremely imbalanced for solo players. the queue times alone are astronomical for only Maelstrom and it seems all the PvP players are in maelstrom so all the non pvp players who want to get into pvp and are solo get thrusted into groups with the same people and lose constantly. I feel that in the past there was more balance among the pvp groups but now it feels like all of the pvp players are only on one team. I also feel that as a DPS I dont do as much damage as I would want to. the tanks and healers alone are over powered and my attacks do little to no damage.

1) Solo queue literally has nothing to do with it. I solo queue all the time, because premades are forced into Freelancer queue anyway it rarely matters and they don't really end up on Maelstrom a lot because it's an overpopulated GC.
2) Then queue Freelancer. That's why it's there.
3) This perceptions of Maelstrom being some kind of god tier GC (it isn't by the way) has long since been a meme, because all the bad players join Maelstrom thinking it's the best. It isn't anymore. It hasn't been for two expansions.
4) "All the PvP players are only on one team" checking the scoreboard after pretty much every battle since the premade change tells me otherwise.

all the matches I keep going into now is just "im here for exp" and then dont even try to capture the nodes they just want to pvp. it sucks because premades get put into other teams when I go freelancer and I always get stuck with an under performing team it feels like.

You do realise the ladder goes off your actual GC and not what you play as? So if you freelance, you could have 5 out of 20 wins in a week be as Maelstrom and the rest as flames/adder, but ultimately, you will still ladder as Maelstrom.

This is exactly how people fall into the trap of changing their GC to Mael expecting brighter days btw lmao.

I very clearly understand how wins and achievements work. This thread or another thread I questioned how someone could not know how they work.


Trust me not very many of those are freelancing. The few Mael in parties say they just freelance so they get better pops. Just the other day I had the joy of 11 straight losses to Maelstrom. Not even close. The score will be close and then they will farm several hundred points in kills. Several of those games and a lot of games since battle high change they have 15+ kills by multiple players. If they get the privilege of a Flames team with a few healers I have seen matches with 6 players 20+ kills. Before the new mode I have seen Adders and Flames both finish Seal Rock with 0 points.



I leveled Adders up to rank 50 on Aether when seal rock launched. They lost a lot. It was never this bad. The games aren't competitive. I never used to mind because when Mael was in 24s they were garbage. I don't remember them winning any of the 24s I was in on off hours. But once it gets to 72s the balance completely shifts. You can believe I am making it up and that those people are winning freelance. But the people on the Data center know what the outcomes are like. On day 2 ques were up to 30 mins just before prime time already.
