Create your own new PvP mode

1. What do you see as missing from the current PvP experience that a change of map, objectives, and certain other included mechanics could fix?

2. How would you make this new mode? What's the map like? What are the objectives? What, if any, new mechanics does it include? How does it play? Why is it fun?

For The Feast:
1. Map rotation that includes all 3 maps.
2. Mode rotation that includes the current mode, Capture The Flag and maybe Team Deathmatch

For The Feast and Frontlines etc.:
1. More skills

1. Make NIN "Hide" available all time when not in combat! (because right now its 100% useless)
2. Make a map with Feast mechanics for 24 vs 24 vs 24. Seriously most people who just want to PvP they want to do PvP, not dpsing crystals and random monsters. Sometimes the simple things are the best.
3. Make a marker on the map in Seize and Shatter maps for wich nodes / crystals will be active next, because right these modes now are so luck based it hurts!
4. Astralagos should have 8 man party size instead of 4.
5. Make a bag of rewards with random items on Frontline Challange (like an eureka/diadem lockbox), seriusly you need to motivate the players somehow! :D

I want traits to be job based. More of a spec system.

I want to have traits be more diverse and game adapting. Where the player can pink different traits for different games and to compliment ither jobs.

12 or 15 different job based traits that can be mixed and matched to change play style and add some much needed depth, fascination and fun to the game mode.

As an example out of the 12 options for... say Paladin, one could be extending the range of cover.

Another could be the option to change their utility combo from damage down to something else, like tp/mp recovery down.

Another could be that hallowed ground can last for a maximum of 7/ or 10seconds as long as the user does not move or attack.

Unbalanced napkin ideas aside I am pretty much just suggesting a spec system

bring back the fold deathmatch 1 life only


then like rival wings, but with creatures and not robats

I'm sure most people would like a capture the flag mode. 2 teams.

And I'd love to have more feast maps. A minimum of 6 would be a good start.

What OSR
I also think the current frontline are too big and the pve element confuses newcomer.
There's also too many players required for each map. The DC split wont help the matter.

How about a FFXIV 'Legends' mode, where you can select a current (or previous) in-game NPC and maybe have teams of four or five (can do DM, Cap, etc.). Could have Lyse, Hien, Alphanaud, Estinen, etc. The idea would be to ensure teams have a balance, so you couldn't pick all ranged DPS, which is what currently ruins every other PVP mode in the game.

I think it could be a cool idea to include some more story related content. PvP feels a bit disconnected from the rest of the content also because we see the Eorzean Alliance stronger than ever in the Main Scenario, but then we're fighting amongst ourselves in PvP.

I never played WoW, but I've seen people saying they like having different factions and the sense of identity they create. If the PvP content got some kind of Beast Tribe Quests or Job Quests for the different Companies, I would probably get a bit more invested. Maybe they could add some new modes that would have the opposing teams visually replaced to the player by the beast tribes of their areas (Storm - Sahagin, Flames - Amaljaa, Adders - Ixal).

Above everything else split pvp balance between feast and frontlines.

and lock ,again, the pvp glamour gears to your gc rank.

I'd quite like PvP Teams to be given an actual purpose outside that brief attempt at eSpurts...

Not talking about a Feast Light Party season, either... Just a casual PvP Team leaderboard, that involves all PvP, complete with season rewards... So your team gains/loses rating based on performance in not just Feast (assuming anyone ever queues for Light Party), but Frontlines and Rival Wings as well... Would perhaps boost serious participation in Frontlines again... You could get the team together to do some Frontlines or Rival Wings, get people to actually try hard at those modes for once... Improve the quality of matches in those modes maybe? Build a bit of excitement around them at least, with a casual leaderboard, Frontlines technically already has one but it's incredibly basic and offers no reward...

Naturally, since it would involve Frontlines and Rival Wings, it wouldn't be anywhere near as competitive as Feast, but I think it would be a good way to build interest in PvP among the playerbase... It would be a casual season, with easy rewards, but the idea would be to encourage people to form Teams... A group could start out earning rating in Frontlines, perhaps give Feast Light Party a go if that becomes possible, maybe get them doing Feast solo queue as a result too... Better way to ease people into the competitive scene than whatever this current mess is, IMO...

Yes, very good idea. There should be FL/RW seasons too. But not as "strict" as the "true" competitive mode. Imo there shouldn't be a top 1 team, rather top 3 or top 10 (but I understand why peeps would disagree), to keep it more casual and fair. FL at least has too much RNG to truly be fair (except secure).

Personally I would like to see a solo-q freelance season-eaque thing.

for the love of gods please keep premade as far as possible from frontlines lol

The way I see it, they can either completely prevent people doing Frontlines as premade, in which case I think the mode will completely die out in any serious capacity, or they can encourage more premades to balance things out... Right now, if there's a premade, there's just one, and they'll usually dominate as a result. Encourage more premades and at least they can balance it out by putting premade vs premade. I'd rather see higher quality matches, and a greater sense of community (arguably that could backfire and become more toxic, but a team of 4 is going to have to work together with the rest of the group if they want to win/gain rating, at the very least I'd hope that would result in Frontlines/Rival Wings always having a shotcaller to direct the team to objectives), as a result of that, than the mess I currently see in Frontlines...

Plus, since it would be tied to PvP teams, you'd actually disrupt the ability to form premades somewhat... You can't just grab any friends to go in with like people currently do, you need to go in with your specific team... Not only would that disrupt the accessibility of premades, it would limit their size as well.
