Is it just me: Frontline

[Vatom]

If you sign up for a competitive, team based game, you should be obligated to put in your best effort.

If you find yourself doing other things while playing the video game why are you even playing it?

Many people say you can’t make a difference in FL, and you might not be able to win on your own, but you can certainly lose for your team.

I’m just tired.

Is it competitive though? Sure your fighting against teams but there isn't structure to promote competitive interaction.

I don't fully understand this statement

Fair

And I get the constant is my team actually playing would get tiring

Yes it's just you, and I'm recently new to PVP.

Welcome hope your enjoying it. Have you tried other pvp or was this your introduction?

Thank you. It was my introduction. At first I was overwhelmed, but was given a guide to it and since the season was ending, I wanted the glam from the rewards. Also, I don't like to lose, and most especially, I don't like to be bad, so I try to improve while I play. Through all that, I was able to find Frontlines fun. I think you can too if you think of it as a team game. I only played CC like a few times after bashing my head against Frontlines alot.

I feel that not wanting to lose is normal. But unless you have at least a full alliance working together developing a guide or secret technique seems redundant.

Maybe that's just me

The guide went over what you can do as a 4 person team, so that actually showed me that is what is needed. I mean, it makes sense because we aren't meant to just 1v1. It does have tips on commanding as well but that's something I will not try until I get good at the mode. Although the team coordination between friends seems more fun than just getting your whole alliance to follow. Like a small strike force. This is why Frontlines is interesting to me. Never have I experienced such a unique mode.

Is it just me that doesn't take Frontline serious? Like this is a legit question. People ask for balance in frontline, upset they aren't winning, making guides, etc.

I'll be honest with you when I care to play I still never took it seriously, it was just great chaos. Balance wasn't a question to me, coordination was the only thing that mattered. Trying to get a whole alliance to follow you was good fun. It's was good exp and a little fun even if I died. Never a test of skill.

So my question again. Is it just me that never took Frontline serious?

Ps. IDC how long you played or how good you are.

yes if I catch you AFKing or throwing I will likely report you for lethargic gameplay I'll tell on you so fast xD

sheesh even Exmo has a good opinion here lol

Fair but this isn't really on topic. Allow me to clarify. When I say take serious, I don't mean afk but play to play even if I don't win. Afk mean you 100% don't care. Not taking it serious is more of I'll try to win but if I don't I'm cool with my exp.

oh well in that case you are fine you can't be too serious because you can't control 23 other players, but 1st place gets a better reward than 2nd and 3rd so yes play to win but don't stress it and don't let anyone else stress you out either xD

Anything you do that pits you against other people in a competitive setting is something a competitive person considers…serious.
With that being said, frontline doesn’t fall into that category regardless of how an individual may perceive it. Frontline is listed with dailies, dailies are the games true casual content. Frontline, like all other casual content, is meant to prepare you for mid core content so you can eventually progress into hardcore. Ie…standard trail -> Ex-> savage-> ultimate. You play frontline to get use to the difference between PvE and PvP game play. In PvP’s case, frontline -> CC casual -> CC ranked.
For whatever the reason, the community see frontline as more than the resource and knowledge gain it actually is. I’d go as far as saying more the 60% play frontline for the xp, series xp, and fun over actually winning. The few who see it as a replacement for the games REAL competitive PvP are the ones asking for balance changes because they haven’t made the transition to CC (not saying certain jobs don’t need adjusting, stating your opinion would be different with experience playing CC. The jobs feel much more balanced there).
We’d be happy to have you in CC. The game play is completely different, but that’s why casual is there. You’ll find all the truly competitive gamers there.
