Frontlines Feedback

Bring back 8man premades and enforce freelancer for solo queue.

I say these two together because, playing with friends shouldn't be punished. However, this would also give a better chance for premades not to be stacked on one GC by coincidence. I know it will still happen sometimes but as it has been in past, people flock to one GC for a better chance to win. Thus any premades have a nearly 50% chance of ending up on the same GC. (for those that still don't know, queuing as a group of any size queues you as freelancer anyway. whether that be 2, 4 or 8 people in a party).

Bring back 24man Frontlines

As it stands now, the people in EU/JP people have little chance to play FLs on NA at all. People who work night shifts on NA have a hard time finding time to play in our prime time window also.

Bring back 24 man frontlines.

Remove the frontline buff for tanks and melees. 65% extra damage at max high is overkill.

Increase the cooldown of Vanward Potion from 15 secs to 30 secs.

Reconsider the decision made regarding premades.

I have more, but those are the most important that needs to be address (except the potions).

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.

Please give us Rated Frontline matches with Premade-Parties only.

Lace from Revival Wings discord:
A helpful change for Frontlines overall, but especially The Borderland Ruins (Secure) - a mode where there tends to be frequent and heavy misunderstanding of scoring rules - would be to have a more noticeable, visual representation of scoring. Many players who have experienced The Fields of Glory (Shatter) first/to a greater degree have largely mistaken the periodic drone objectives as the main method of scoring, and neglect to secure bases, as the mode's name would imply. This leads to doubts and frustrations among teammates as far as what to focus on, and when.

Perhaps the addition of team color-coded floating text like "Base Captured +10" or a status of points per base ticks in the Duty List could make things a bit more readily understandable for all players. For example: underneath the score where it shows "Occupied", also show "Points Given".

I couldn't agree more with this. However, i would like to see kills added to this. One thing I love about the assist BH gauge is people are more willing to fight. I have seen so few "let them fight"/"Defend"/"don't feed"/"OBJECTIVES>KILLS" since this has been implemented. Showing a score for kills made, whether by hover text or a system message in chat logs (somewhere visible) would further encourage people to fight.

Removing or adjusting the damage buff given to melee/tanks in Frontlines/Rival wings

I don't mind the reduced damage taken because it encourages players to take a much needed roll. No one wants an all ranged fight lol But, as others have stated, with the BH changes, the buff is overkill.

DO NOT NERF MELEE DAMAGE.
Buff ranged hp and deffensives instead.

Otherwise we will come back to old healer-only meta, where switching to healer job is insta-win.

I don’t think you really understand the cause of the issue, I suggest you to read patch 4.5 first.

Have you played pvp before that patch? Where everyone was playing range dps and healers? And where your contribution as a melee was super low, and there were very little fight in frontline?
I played on my 3 tanks and i was being killed from distance by range dps jobs when i had no healer next to me. xD

It was a complete mess and i dont want to go back to this abomination, it was the literal worst pvp experience i ever had in any game.
