**DividedSky** · 01-16-2015 06:23 AM

Do we even know for sure if were getting an update in 2.5? Will this update be on the 20th? It feels likeSE is leaving this entire pvp community in the dark. I check every time they release we info and its all pve

I hope it'll be something fun, but the pessimistic side of me thinks it'll just be something minor like a change in the lvls you have to be for gear, or allowing materia to be used.

Correction
At this point i think they just forgot about wolves den.

As discussed in the Letter from the Producer LIVE, we will be releasing a new mode for Frontline that introduces new rules and features in Patch 2.5, as well as a daily roulette.

With Patch 2.5 right around the corner (Less than a week! Hype!), we don’t want to give too much away, just know that PvP is still very much on the dev. team’s radar.

Please Grek, We don't mind if you give away too much,
Just give me a sign, should I be socketing my i110(130) Gear or not? will it have a use besides looking pretty after 2.5?

Hope there's an easy way for someone who wants to PvP focus a character to get into Frontlines. My character is nearing 50 and I'm worried it's going to take a whole lot of investment just to get him ready to enter into PvP because everyone's over-geared and Wolfs Den may not have enough to players playing.

Frontline is currently capped at i80 for gear. As long as you're at that, you're fine. You can twink later to get the secondary stats you want.

Oh.... please don't combine pvp roulette with regular roulette.

Just wondering how long it'll take to gear a brand new 50 to get to i80. Want to dedicate a character I have to it specifically and kinda anxious to get going. If I recall correctly, Morale raises armor to a certain ilvl above the listed now. Hopefully I can use lower-level PVP to get the tier-up equipment and just focus on getting a quick Relic until I can start pushing for more PvP centric gear.

Might seem a bit lazy, but I'm on limited time and regularly raid on top of it all. So, I'm trying to trim down my workload without harming my playmates.

Crafted i90s aren't cheap, and limited time translates into limited gil income. What Gil I make naturally comes from the dungeon and raiding I do and little else. (Cashing in Seals for materials and selling them auction on top of gil rewards, and even that's split between that and slowly getting upgrades for Relic so I don't have to stop what I'm doing just for the Bombard Cores.)

This PvP character would be entirely focused on PvP, which means what outside currency he obtains contributes directly back into the Gil resources shared between them. I get to have fun, and a bit of return on my time investment.

Two reasons, Characterization and Simplicity.

First Reason: I'm a roleplayer. It goes against "Lin's" Mentality to focus her efforts on conflict between the nations as she fought for unity between those nations. Also, Cartneau is a traumatic place for her, she would not willingly return unless there was true and immediate danger there. That's enough for me to feel 'awkward' walking in out of character with her.

Second Reason: I play on hybrid keyboard/gamepad. Easier just to have a character designed specifically for PVP than to constantly remap skills, as I have limited slots to designate skills to.
