Next up for PvP…more modes

[A-Omega]

For those who haven’t been following, a massive debate has been going on about frontline. The conversation has brought a real issue with PvP to light. THERE ARENT ENOUGH VERSIONS OF PVP. Take a bow PvP devs, you guys knocked this content out the box. With that being said…you’ve created a hunger in our competitive pocket of the world.

A more mid-core/ranked version of frontline would be an amazing idea.
Different modes added to CC. HVT (high valued target), Domination, King of the Hill, etc. I personally play more PvP then PvE and more outlets would be an amazing addition.

Join in everyone. List the modes you’d like to see with details. Maybe the community can help our devs out with ideas.

I think they should take Rival Wings, put it on a roulette, and make it palatable. I know that last remark is going to piss off a lot of my peers who like me have hundreds of matches in the mode, but Hidden Gorge is like six maps crammed in one with mechs that aren't fun to play as or play against and they massively increased the tempo of the mode without adjusting the side objectives and map scale to match. It has good ideas and just needs to be tightened up, and Astragalos should likewise get a bit of work done and brought back.

Think we have a good "I just want to PvP let me fight people" mode in FL, a good small scale mode with a nice range of approachability with unranked VS ranked CC, so they should round it off with a nice large scale mode with 2 teams that has just a little more complexity than FL (IE something like the MOBA mechanics RW has), but less than RW has now. Have two alternating RW maps with their own daily challenge and you're golden.

I did like your idea of 8vs8vs8. A smaller scale Frontlines. Which would require premades. The idea of it seems interesting, I just don't know how it would play out. How about a mode where you just duo queue with a friend, and you face off against another duo queue? Also hey, how about we bring back PVP teams with current modes and new modes in mind?

The PVP "renaissance" in Endwalker was really spot on. One of the best reworks they ever made to a system in this game, really. Despite some missed beats like the recent Purify change, I think it's still very successful. However, I must agree with the OP about needing more game modes. Especially for a lower player count.

Doing the same 5x5 'steer the crystal' mode can get old after a while. I feel we have enough arenas for the time being, the resources could be channeled into developing a new mode for a similar player count.

How about a Feast ressurgence? I liked that mode. Or maybe a 3x3. I really hate Frontlines. Too many people... Would love a big map 10x10 mode instead.

While I'm here, please add Blue Mage (and Beastmaster ahead) on the PVP ranks. There's absolutely no reasonable argument for the limited jobs to be excluded from it given every job gets their class fantasy completely flipped up for it.

How do you balance Blue Mage for PVP? Do you think Blue Mage would be a jack of all trades, master of none? Since I recently played some FFV, I would think mighty guard would be the limit break possibly.

This is something worth considering. The pvp community is bigger then ever. I think they should support it a bit more
