What You're Doing Wrong In Shatter (And How To Fix It!)

[silverlunarfox]

Can I add dont flood the chat with image macros? I get they are cool.....but when people are calling out those macros cause the helpful calls to get lost....

Smaller macros are perfectly fine and often welcome.

But stop using multi line images....

Unless we are losing, then gg post away XP

oh ye those are annoying like idk what, i remember in aether we used to have some players that use a macro every pre-match that, in that case it was 2.1, show how the mode worked, how the alliance teams would split, the points per pc kill and objective kill, spawn times of drones, other directives, etc...

Good tips there. Some additions:

One of the most common mistakes in frontline (especially in seize and shatter) is putting your team in a flanking situation.

This is due to ignorance, laziness, tunnelvision, etc.

In my experience this happens a lot. One usual situation in Shatter is that your team chases other team back to spawn after big crystal, ignoring position of third team, resulting in a flank at the bottleneck close to the team you are chasing.

How to avoid:
Always keep in mind where opposing teams may be. Never chase other team if you don't know position of 3rd team (if you know, it may be ok if you can steamroll other team for free points).
Stay focused to avoid tunnelvision.

And, this is a general rule. Stay together. This is true in almost any situation. There are exceptions, like when all tiny ice spawns at once in Shatter. And you don't need an entire alliance to reclaim base from 1 nin. But if you're not sure, stay together.

Be careful going to big ice furthest from spawn.
For example, if you spawn east, be careful going to big ice south-west.
Your team can't escape easily.
Your team gets flanked much easier.
Better alternatives could be taking enemy bases. this seams to be the meta at the Japanese datacenters.

This is a whole lot of information that will probably never go to use since frontlines are just ~80% bots that SE seems to not care about anyway.

Adding the exp on pvp was the biggest mistake feelsbadman

Exp was godsend but its the people who abuses it that ruins it for everyone else, this why we can't have nice things in games anymore. So for all those botters and cheaters in general i can only say "f..k you, you worthless piece of human garbage!"

Anyone here on balmung have a pvp ls? I really enjoy frontlines but would like to group with players that have read this guide. Trying to explain why "We shouldn't fight threw the other two teams to try and get the far crystal, we should just cap the bases." Isn't going over well in chat. Losing 10 people (50 points?) to push into a crystal that is only going to net us 35 points isn't productive. When instead we could cap both bases, mop up small crystals, and murder stragglers...

Joining a PvP linkshell is better than nothing, if there is one on Mateus I wouldn't mind participating. But when 50%+ of your team is bots, you still won't be able to corral them very well from getting into pincers or things like that.

What you are doing wrong (8 vs 8 vs 8 edition)

NOT STUNNING/SILENCING/DUNNO WHAT OTHER STATS THERE ARE.. HEALERS

If there are two on the opposing team you will never kill them, for god sake.
