Thread: Patch 7.5 Discussion Thread

Not losing BH on death... the single worst change I've seen to Frontlines in my last 7 years of playing...

Skilled play should be rewarded in PvP, what were they thinking???

Whoever came up with the idea of not losing BH on death should never be allowed near frontlines balancing again.

The change to battle high in 7.2 was dumb enough. Now they are just straight up trolling the few people that actually enjoy frontlines. What a shame.

Played a few more matches. Its an absolute mess. You can just throw yourself at the enemy and there's no real downside. I cant see how this change benefits casual players. You see the same people who didnt do anything before, dont do anything now. People in matches still with bh1-2. How?
And now it's even more chance of lopsided matches, cause the enemy doesnt lose bh, you can't claw back anything to try and take back any kind of advantage over an enemy team.
It is really interesting that there is nothing in the patch notes explainer, about why they made this change. I haven't seen anything from them. What possessed them to do this?

1) The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Once you recognize a Comm or premade, your tactics switch from 1v1v1 to more 1v2. Even if only 8 people on your team recognize this, you can go harass the Commander for a possible 24 vs 24+8.

2) A single form of delay or disruption of the premade's engage (So your team gets that first moment to turn or run. Yes you might die for it. -8 is better then -24)

3) If you're just solo countering; Be a scout, or player(s) disrupting the Comm team when they fight the 3rd team. So they cant farm in peace.

If they want to cheese, they dont get to play

Worst change since YouTube put two unskippable ads before a 12-second video.
Complete brainrot.
Haven't played for months and return to this sheeet.

Once again catering to no-skill players.

I dont mind the changes at all. I'm a little biased though because I usually get BH pretty quick, so for me its mostly convenient that now I wont lose it.
HOWEVER.

I do think that overall, its not the best idea.
My main thing about it is that to keep high BH, you had to both become and remain at least a decent player. You had to try the whole match just so you could keep it the whole time, narrowly avoiding death like crazy. NOW?? You can get it, and then play as badly as a newbie does. Huh!?? Ugh lol. Gonna be really cringe to see BH5s with like, 10 deaths. UGH yuck

Tanks might also be more daring and stall more on nodes in Worqor. Before, the latter was an act of desperation.

No, because the 23 other useless ranged job players still won't push anyway.
