Most of FFXIV players are curious at
Frontline details in patch 2.3. This PvP part
FFXIV
Powerleveling is so attractive to many gamers.
Frontline is a 72 players battle, which is
24 vs. 24 vs. 24, and the battle will take 30 minutes. but this number could be
changed after SE’s stress tests. For players new to PvP will not have a hard
time with Frontline. Frontline will involve a large number of players, and the
requirements to participate, as well as the balancing of player attributes,
have been adjusted to make it quite accessible. So even if you’ve never tried
PvP before, it’ll be something everyone can enjoy. Don’t worry about it.
Upon entering Frontline, players will start
off at the landing for their Grand Company. Players will arrive here by
airship. Frontline is a battle split between three powers of influence, and
these three powers are the Twin Adders of Grindania, the Maelstrom Limsa
Lominsa, and Immortal Flames of Ul’dah.
Frontline takes place in an area known as
the "Borderland Ruins" which is located in the Carteneau Flats, where
tragedy struck during the "End of an Era" trailer, is the battlefield
for Frontline. This outpost also serves
as a respawning point for players that are defeated out in the field, but you
won't be able to return here after leaving. Once you drop down, you have no
choice but to fight. In the field you'll also be able to ride mounts, and a PvP
reward is the warsteed mount. You'll fight on this field split into three
groups of 24. Players will be matched in alliances, where they can communicate
with one another, use signs and waymarks, etc., just as they would in the Crystal Tower.
Each city-state will have a main outpost,
which cannot be attacked by opposing teams. Players can earn points by
defeating other players, but the main focus of Frontline is the occupation of
territory. With that said, players will want to keep an eye out for key
locations such as outposts and ruins. They will be marked by a flag, and by
entering the area near these flags and remaining there for a certain amount
time, you can take over and occupy the area. In total, there are six key
locations, and while you can occupy them to generate points, an opposing team
can also take them from you. On the screen you can see that I'm alone inside of
this flag area, but if an enemy enters, the area will become contested. If
multiple opponents enter the area, it will begin to lean in their favor, and
once the gauge is completely full, it will be taken over. We hope players enjoy
strategizing over whether they want to protect their outposts or go out to
claim others. Monsters will also occasionally spawn in the area, so your
primary ways of earning points will be to not only defeat opponents and
occupying strongholds, but defeating these monsters as well. When time is up,
the group with the most points will be declared the winner.
Although it is a 4 vs. 24 vs. 24 battle, SE
has made some significant changed to the duty finder, and if it seems like it’s
going to take too mich
time to match, the Duty Finder will automatically scale down to 16 vs. 16 vs.
16, and again to 8 vs. 8 vs. 8. The system will calculate queue times
internally and automatically make changes based on the number of players
waiting to join, so players should have no problems registering via the Duty
Finder. It's been designed so that no matter the time of day or how many people
are available, it will be possible to queue for matches.
For the level requirements, the only
requirement to participate is that you are level 50. For Frontline, a new
system refered to as "item level sync" has been implemented. SE is
still making final adjustments as to whether they will synce to item level 80
or 90 but if you wear equipment that is higher than this, it will be synced
automatically. Additionally, the morale stat utilized in the Wolves' Den will
not be used here, and fights will take place on a completely even playing
field. However, you'll still be able to use PvP actions, and this is where
differences will develop. In the future we may utilize item level sync for
different types of battles such as time attacks.
Monsters will occasionally spawn on the
field, and defeating them will influence the battle slightly. However, if you
focus too much on defeating these monsters someone may creep up behind you for
an attack, so please be mindful of your surroundings.
There are no limitations on roles in
Frontline, so as an example, you could go in as 24 healers. However, it's also
possible to change jobs at your Grand Company's main outpost. We've done away
with role restrictions to prioritize the speed of party matching, so you can
discuss party roles after you enter.
About rewards, you'll be able to rank up
and earn action points for PvP action enhancement. You'll be able to obtain
this warsteed mount as well. Also, SE realizes many players are working hard to
accumulate Allagan tomestones of soldiery, so they've decided to add them as
rewards for participating.
Frontline will come out in patch 2.3 which
will be released probably on July 8, 2014. At the beginning, enjoy the fun that
the new PvP part brings you. When you get bored but still look forward to the
rewards, FFXIV Power Leveling
at Mmogah.com
can help you to get them all for you.
