Would you Frontline?

[Shinun]

Negative. If you look in the video, each GC on the right side of the screen has 0/1000 listed underneath their respective flags.
It's first to 1,000. They only set that 30-minutes so people can't just go in and AFK forever and use up server space.

As Yoshi stood by those flags/bases, it started to increase. 10/1000 > 20/1000 > etc.

If I'm mistaken, that's pretty ridiculous to force people to have 30-minute matches or get nothing. I'm 99% sure it's first to 1000.

Just watched the video part you were saying. Points started raking in @58:43 and at 59:43 the counter still running was @31/1000 so 31 points per minute that a flag stays in control of a group. No idea how many capture points there are nor the points of getting killing a person/mob. But I don't the points will be enough to end a game in 10 minutes. Unless the points gotten from those 2 are much bigger. Since 1 Capture Point alone for 30 minutes would only give 930/1000

Ah. Well, from what I've experienced in other MMOs 10 minutes~ is about the average, that's why I used that number.

But yes, it will depend on how many points monster/players give.

Hell yes, my AOE heals and Holy spam will be glorious.

I'm a healer and I read that most healers are dead in XIV PVP in 2 to 5 seconds once engaged. So, nope, not interested in dying that fast, even Titan EX lets me live longer than that.

[Vyxion]

Indeed I would! I am very much eager to jump into Frontlines even though I have little experience with the Wolves Den.

Part of the appeal of chaotic large-scale PvP has over purely organized play is that otherwise focus targeted players normally have a higher survival chance. There's so much going on that people generally either don't pay attention (unless it's an organized group... which it usually won't be) or they just won't have the backup to do what needs to be done.

[Lemuria]

Nope. Not interested in the slightest. The jobs simply aren't designed for PvP, and that's that.

They've added a handful of PvP exclusive skills, but none of them even the playing field in any sense and some even seem entirely pointless. There is literally nothing which could entice me to start doing PvP save for forcing it onto us through some arbitrary Zodiac weapon requirement. Of course, if they ever did that I might just have to strangle an SE exec...

It's actually even slower then what I mentioned above. The video actually goes from 58:43 to 1:00:45. From 58:43 to 59:43 (1 Minute) they got 31 points from the flag. from 59:43 to 1:00:43 (Another minute) they were at 51 points. So it seems even the Flag point rate decreases over time.

It's important to remember that killing players will also add to your points. I'm fairly certain that will be a rather significant part of a teams win in an average match.

[Ragecake]

Of course I would Frontlines.

I was excited for this battleground even before announcing the reward of tomes. Regardless I'll still be there.
