Has anybody tried Frontlines after the update today?

Need to make it so PvP gear is the best gear for PvP!

Good way to do that? Make PVP gear immune to ilvl sync in PVP content. I think that would definitely help matters. That way, folks in PVP can wear whatever they want and don't have to worry about arbitrary stats like Morale and, if they do wear PVP gear over i80, they should at least have superior base stats vs. PVE gear.

Some of the fun to be had in PvP is having some degree of unity. It's equivalent to the old school clans that people would form back in the day, where the games didn't support such things, but rather people had to do things that made them seem unified (e.g. account names with clan names attached, similar looks, etc).

Most of the High Allagan weapons are poor for Frontlines (only the High Allagan Spear is a BiS) due to their lack of Determination and either Critical Hit Rate or Skill Speed/Spell Speed.

The ones to fear are those in a either a mismash of i80+ or the new i80 Dungeon gear.

Bad idea. Unless you want players that have 20% more hp and deal out 20% more damage/healing than everyone else running around.

Newp.

Leave it as is so theres a level playing field between those who win-traded abused their way to r40 gear and the new players setting foot in Frontlines. PvP should be about teamwork and skill, not who has the best gear. Fortunatly for the rest, Yoshi took the smart option and ilvl synched.

How about the people who bought second coil victories to get High Allagan gear? See, I can speculate about illegitimate methods of getting high-end gear too.

Besides, as this is a PVP mode, PVP gear should have a slight edge--yet not a significant one--in this mode.

Im not saying to make it so its such a huge advantage that pvp gear users roflstomp those without, Im saying make it so when the gear is scaled down to ilvl80(just like normal gear) the PvP only stats will be good enough to cover for the missing stats.

PvP gear is pointless if you can't even wear it in PvP, what we gona do? just glamor our regular gear and walk around town in it? If so then the prices should be lowered or other rewards added to be purchasable with wolf marks.

That is a horrible idea.

I know morale doesn't work in frontlines but how about the PvP materias? I've seen BLM loaded with stun resistant materia in Wolves Den. Not that it matters that much now that stuns and sleeps are nerfed.

Watch out, the Twin Adders are coming for you! :eek:

(Also have yet to find you in-game. Shame, really!).

Materia and morale both have no effect. From the duty description:

"*While synced, all item stats are adjusted and materia bonuses are ignored."
