I don't like PVP with 3 teams

[reality_check]

Frontlines type PVP should never be FFA style with an odd amount of teams.

-A solid strategy for winning ANY FFA style game is way more complicated than when you have a single opponent. It is way too much strategy for an alliance of PUG people to orchestrate. It just turns into a huge giant cluster.

-Fighting other grand companies makes no sense in the context of Eorzean politics and does not leave any room for open world PVP.

-3 team grand company PVP means that I cant PVP with friends who belong to a different grand company which is completely absurd. We made our grand company choices when there was no real difference between the GCs.


Please reevaluate how future frontlines PVP will work this way. There is now a solid base of coding and PVP balance. There still needs to be large changes, in my opinion.

The best MMO PvP was 3 factions, DaoC. Three factions add a very good twist to PvP.

If you had read the quest text to unlock frontlines, you would know that it does make sense why the GCs are fighting each other in there.

Well I rather like how they did it, the only thing I would change is more area objectives. If you paid attention to the story the 3 GC battling it out for control of the territory actually has some merit. I'm also in Flames, the perennial losers but I assure you we still strategize and work towards a win that every now and then comes our way.

Also, I'd rather no open world PvP, no PvP servers. You can take that elsewhere to other games that encourage it.

Meh. Not always. If you're really lucky, you can get a majority of vets. Sometimes you don't even need a great amount of vets to win, as long as you get people who actually LISTEN to vets. One time I got in a team of all newbies save for myself. Team B. They actually(shockingly) listened to me and we won.


It's mostly the random newbies who think they're too good to listen to anyone, or the "Vets" who've only played 10 games and still have no idea what they're doing that ruin games.

It does. The reason they do it is lame, but it makes sense.

3 team grand company PVP means that I cant PVP with friends who belong to a different grand company which is completely absurd.

You can change GCs to PvP together. Before picking GCs really didn't make much of a difference, now you need to pick carefully if you like PvP. I like that.

3 or more teams is better
If you only have 2 teams, people are going to stack on the winning side... I played Aion on Asmodian side :3 we were greatly outnumbered on most occasions.
