    Rival Wings should be a Roulette alongside Frontlines

    I'm playing it right now as it's only active on the weekends thanks to iirc a discord group and that's a damn shame.

    I find it so much more fun then frontlines, frontlines is a total mess with all the players involved, it's so hard to get anything done as one person.

    In RW, one Brute Justice or Cruise Chaser can be the key to victory, grabbing the train in the middle, a mercenary, all these feel impactful. Meanwhile, frontlines is just a zerg fest, there's nothing you can do as one person to impact the game nearly as much as RW. And, RW has a 50/50 shot of winning compared to a 33/33/33 chance, it's just a flat out better mode.

    Implementing it as a roulette would MASSIVELY increase the number of people playing it, going from one of the most dead pieces of content, to being able to actually find matches on weekdays.

    Ya, having this and unranked CC on the roulette would be really nice.

    I feel like there's some sort of optimal play time that's being achieved with the current number of roulettes along with many of them including mandatory fights for story progression.

    I bumping this topic every time l see it. 2 teams fight feels more fun. And Not losing my soaring high when l die allows me to play more aggressively. Lastly, If l am tired, l am just right click cerelum all game in solitude and still contribute to my team.

    Would be nice, and I wouldn't mind seeing that other Rival Wings & Frontline map I've never gotten to play on. (The interceptor drone/node achievements, they taunt me.)

    Aren't roulettes traditionally restricted to content that is either required or popular?

    Frontlines isn't required, nor is it popular by its own merits, it's popular because it is a roulette. As I said in my initial post, it's a mess of a mode, a zerg fest where you have to throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks. It can be fun, whatever fun I have in Frontlines, I have even more in Rivals Wings.

    If Frontlines can be a roulette, I see no reason why Rival Wings cannot join it as another PvP roulette.

    I'm fine with the idea provided we don't get a PvP roulette that merges the different modes. It's bad enough as a FL player getting shattered every third day.

    I would go for this so much, I prefer Rival Wings' more focused and yet more bombastic combat to the sheer chaos of Frontline.

    It's kind of weird that there is no CC roulette either...

    honestly for PVP i would love a rival wings roulette.

    while at it a CC roulette and allowing for queueing with friends for casual CC.

    i get why not for ranked but for casuals it can be a lot of fun running pvp with ya friends
