Frontlines fun...and a swift apology

[Nihonnick]

Ninety-nine more wins for mount now, woo! I didn't really expect it to be that fun but was surprised too. Remember to stun everyone you see, paladins are a pain.

199 for both -.-

Always glad to hear more stories about people having a good time in PVP. The community is actually pretty mild compared to most games with PVP (to say nothing of MOBAs), so if any other new players are reading this, don't be afraid to admit you're new and ask your teammates for directions. Most of us are more than willing to go over the mode objectives and give at least basic pointers on what your role should be doing (tanks haranguing enemy ranged, melee prioritizing ice, how to use your pushbacks, etc).

No, the white one is 100 Shatter wins. The black one is 200 Frontlines wins.

OP, when your group is breaking the ice and some pesky enemie dps is harrasing your healers and dps, use your limit break when available, it will bring protection for your group for a couple of seconds. Also when ice is 15 to 10% look for a escape route for your group and yourself. This is in case your group is not strong enough for PVP. If you continue to play Frontlines, you'll improve your gameplay and learn a few tricks from your GC and enemies. Good luck and happy hunting.

Ah I was thinking of the War stead, yeah so 399 more

Most of the time in Shatter, there is 60-90% focus on Ice and 10-40% focus on kills, but sometimes a group is feeling particularly bloodthirsty or the ice spawns put them at a large disadvantage without kills and then they go ham murdering. Just know that the main points of all PvP modes are usually 1) Secure Objectives and 2) Don't Die before 3) Kill People. I freelanced yesterday into a IF group that was extremely bloodthirsty and massacred the opposition with moderate Ice points for the win. One guy had 83 assists (I only had 24), but usually I end with around 12 and see highs in the 20s to 30s. Assists generally give you an idea of the total kills achieved by your team, but that's the bloodiest I have seen in a long while.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself in frontlines!

I always find it fun to Collective Unconsciosness, then Spread Bole/Balance and Focalization and then Celestial Opposition and turn my whole party into a monstrosity to face off against personally. I bled, sweated, and cried my way through 100 seal rocks for my Field Commander's Coat to the point where frontlines became really easy to manage myself in. (I finished at about 350 total frontlines, 119 wins, so just under 1/3 win rate)

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! A few things I'd like to offer though:

1. In Shatter, the ice IS important yes, but ice alone won't get you the win. There are many ways to win it, and it takes adaptability in the face of changing strategies or flow of battle to get ahead and stay ahead. I can't say this enough; the ice is important, but will not win the match alone.

2. So long as your gear is above i190, focus on desired secondary stats to maximize effectiveness. Accuracy doesn't matter past 420. Morale doesn't matter either if you look into PvP gear. You don't NEED PvP gear, but it's another option.

3. I recommend you pop over to pvpaissa.com if you're interested in learning more. We have many starter guides available (I myself just got one added that I originally posted here on the forums that specifically covers Frontlines basics).

4. Losses happen, even to veteran PvPers. Learn from it, shake it off, and give your best in the next one. Who dares, wins.

Contrary to a lot of the word of mouth people hear, PvP IS fun and not nearly as toxic as one might believe, especially as you learn more and more and begin to play well. I hope to one day see you on my team
