I am an avid fan of PvP which I like Frontline and playing it most of my time and no longer doing dungeons, static and so on. However, there is a very small detail that I am so worried in the game. Such as:
1. People are using hack or cheat.
- Cheating in a sense that some players are like teleport or speed run that even using mount chasing them is not enough even if they are just running or sprint. I don't have a video as I did not make one but witnessed it yesterday and first time too.

2. WHM/SCH Versus Monk/DRG
- As I have mentioned to other thread that SCH are much powerless without Fairy/EOS they can still kill Monk/DRG. Same goes to WHM, Since Item level is capped to 80 all stats are being halve even if he/she is wearing allagan set/Weathered or un-weathered set. I encountered a WHM and was not able to kill her unless I will use LB. I am using DRG that time and could not kill her and I am only damaging up to 409 (With blood for blood. But IF it crits they it hurts but every attack will not crit of course) without her Stoneskin on that I canceled using Piercing Talon
If you would think of this way, SCH and WHM are wearing cottons/leather which can easily be pierced (Literally). Supposedly they are weak in physical defense and damage per skill should be much greater when inflected to them. Even PvP skills is not enough to spam and kill them. -

4. Harassment
- This harassment is within the same GC and not from other GC. We all know that frontline is a PvP - GC campaign which you all need to fight as one. However, it is also an individual fight where you can do your own strategy to help you GC earn points and win the game. Such as:
4.1 Hiding: This is to guard the middle flag post and surprise an enemy who is approaching to take it down
4.2 Trolling: I call it trolling. Be cause you are going to other GC's post to distract them by simple take down their own middle flag. -

Unfortunately, some people would question you "why are you not here? What are you doing? Your not in the B team!". Although this is no longer an SE scope. What I want to accentuate is that 'FRONTLINE is a group PvP and also an individual strategy to help your GC to win.
Feel free to comment or correct me.
Thanks! -

If you haven't been able to get any kills as sch or whm you should probably stick to pve.

07-25-2014, 04:58 PMSen_TerrechantHow about this? The only kills ive gotten on SCH are from tardbabies trying to 1v1 me in the middle of the field. Bards are the worst about this.Quote:

Frontlines is still new so a lot of people are inexperienced, even if they want to learn. I am often explaining the mechanics of why you should be fighting on the flag and why fighting on the road is a waste of time to newer players. Many are happy and willing to learn. Others don't listen to (or outright ignore) every single piece of advice they are given. And then there are the people who insult the entire alliance nonstop, EVEN if we're winning by a large margin... Trolls don't help either, but as far as a PvP community is concerned... FFXIV is one of the tamer ones I have seen.
This game is NOT balanced for 1v1 PvP. Most of my 1v1 kills were due to the fact that I had cooldowns up. Most of my 1v1 deaths were due to the fact that my opponent had cooldowns up. It's so rare that you encounter 1v1 that I haven't had ample time to test it. As far as healers being difficult to kill, they SHOULD be hard to kill. In a group setting, you can destroy a healer if your team coordinates... and that's kind of the point. If the healer was easy to kill 1v1, they would be next to useless in group content... and already, any healer will tell you that staying alive requires both skill AND help from your team. I sometimes play PvP WHM and it's definitely not a cakewalk versus a group. I'm told SCH PvP is slightly easier due to the fairy and the lustrates, but not by much if you are getting focused hard. If I had one job to complain about... it's bards. Without equanimity, I won't survive... and even if I do pop equanimity, I lose precious seconds from the inevitable silence that follows. Plus, bards can kite around things and LoS me pretty easily. Super frustrating 1v1, but like I just said... this game isn't balanced for 1v1 and I doubt it ever will be. -

I have been playing frontline since day one and I am enjoying everything it has to offer. Not denying the fact that there are PLENTY of instances that you can encounter SCH to go to your post to take down the flag while you are guarding it. Unfortunately, i was killed twice by an SCH although the skills that I have are not cooling down. The power healing is just fine, however the PDef of SCH nor WHM is kind of equal to melee In my opinion.
I find Frontling to be Balanced and I also agree with Ryuko. But having one on one is seldom in frontline -

I have yet to see anyone get yelled at for hiding. With the capping of other flags that is fine. But this is not like WoW solo kill crap doesn't get you more. It is TEAM based. If your team is getting bashed and you have 3 lonewolve's 5 on 8 is not going to cut it.
While I am sure speed hacks are happening. And some people seem to come up on the flag awfully fast. I have yet to see any GC cap a flag before anyone else. They are measured almost even and everyone shows up within the same time. Two why do you need to chase down people. You are holding a point not getting kills.
I am sorry but this poster comes across more as people don't like me going for kills. Battlefields are team pvp sports not look how great solo I am. 8 people moving together with three teams coordinated are better then one guy doing what they want to pad ego kills.
