New Frontline mode in 2.5

Lets be honest , PvP has never been Final Fantasy's strong point and things will most likely not change anytime in the near future , which could be decades since the franchise has been out since my childhood.

Hoping for a neutral flag in the middle of the map with neutral mobs scatter about the map that spawn on timers similar to before.

Would you prioritise stealing the enemy's neutral mobs or capturing the flag? Crafty plays!

My guess is the Manor, Market (I play Grid so idk last one's name.) and center will spawn a flag that has to be taken to your GC base to score. First to 15~ wins. /shrug

Instead thinking about what you say I thought that they CAN do a new frontline without GC restriction, because if they will add a pvp roulette they will involve Wolves' Den too (I suppose), and it has no GC restrictions but party formation limits.

Anyway are we sure that thay wouldn't just change the actual Frontline?

WoW places a stacking debuff on the FC the longer they hold it. Every stack increases damage taken. After a certain amount of stacks, it reduces you to walking speed, even under sprint.

Even if that would be extremely lazy developing, i would actually love it (that on top of a "real new set of rules" would be better of course).

The PvP Roulette will only include the two frontline games (Thats confirmed). It wouldnt work with wolfs den anyway. Because healers and tanks would always end in wolfs den. Think about it. two DDs are queueing for wolfs den and they would need 1 heal and 1 tank to start. So basicly what happens now is that the system would always put the heals/tanks in those wolfs den groups, because they are needed for it to start while they arent needed for frontlines to start.

They could also just make the FL roulette and WD roulette two separate roulettes.

Comments like this make no sense to me.
Every FF generally has had pretty drastic to gameplay, so making this assumption is stupid.
You could say "Online has never been Final Fantasy's strong point" before 11
Also, why are you in the PVP forum?
