| *Time Limit: 20 minutes
| |
| *Level Requirement: Disciple of War or Magic level 30
| |
|
| |
|
| Players can queue to enter Frontline campaigns alone, or in a party of up to eight players.
| | [[File:Shatter banner.png]] |
|
| |
|
| To improve matching efficiency, 72 (three teams of 24) or 24 (three teams of eight) combatants may be matched together depending on the number of available participants.
| | ==Victory Conditions== |
| | Similarly to Seal Rock, players must collect data from Allagan Tomeliths and obtain a set amount of data in order to be declared the winner, with the remaining alliances being ranked based on the amount of data they collected. |
|
| |
|
| ==Roles==
| | Data is collected in three different methods: |
| When participating in Frontline campaigns, there are no role requirements or restrictions for parties. Moreover, players can freely change jobs or classes at their Grand Company's landing.
| | * Defeating enemy players |
| *The recast time of skills will not be reset when changing classes or jobs. | | * Occupying Allagan Tomeliths |
| | * Destroying Icebound Tomeliths |
|
| |
|
| ==Starting Points==
| | In the event that none of the three alliances manage to accumulate the requisite amount of data before time runs out, victory is awarded based on which alliance gathered the most data. |
| The landing point for each team will be randomly assigned from one of three locations.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Rules of Engagement== | | ==Occupying Allagan Tomeliths== |
| Players can increase their team's rating by occupying Allagan tomeliths, destroying icebound tomeliths, and defeating players from the opposing teams. The first team to accumulate the required amount of data will be declared the winner, and the remaining teams will be ranked according to their respective ratings. | | Players will find large structures known as '''Allagan Tomeliths''' all over the map. By standing within proximity of the Tomeliths, players will be able to extract the data within, increasing their data accumulation. |
|
| |
|
| ==Allagan Tomeliths==
| | [[File:Shatter Tomelith.png]] |
| [[File:allagan tomelith1.png|right|350px|thumb|Allagan Tomelith]] | | |
| During a Frontline shatter campaign, players aid their company by retrieving data from tomeliths. Allagan tomeliths will be either "Unoccupied" or "Occupied" depending on whether or not a Grand Company has occupied them. By remaining in close proximity to the tomeliths at these locations, players can occupy them to retrieve their data. However, the tomeliths may become unoccupied should enemies come within proximity of one controlled by your team, or vice versa. Occupying a tomelith will reward your team with data, and further data will be rewarded continuously based on the number of tomeliths your team currently occupies.
| | ==Active and Inactive Tomeliths== |
| | Tomeliths will be either "occupied" or "unoccupied", based on whether an alliance has claimed it. If a tomelith is occupied and opposing players attempt to access it, the tomelith will become "unoccupied" and the other teams will be able to attempt to claim it. |
|
| |
|
| ==Icebound Tomeliths== | | ==Icebound Tomeliths== |
| [[File:icebound tomelith1.png|right|350px|thumb|Icebound Tomelith]]
| | Active icebound tomeliths will be either large or small, with large tomeliths containing more data. |
| Icebound Tomeliths contain data and dot the playing field. They will be inactive at the start of the campaign, and will activate at random after a fixed amount of time. The data from these tomeliths can be collected by attacking them, and once they are destroyed data will be rewarded to each Grand Company based on the amount of damage inflicted.
| |
| | |
| Icebound Tomelith Ranks - Active icebound tomeliths will be either large or small, with the large tomeliths containing more data.
| |
| | |
| ==Engaging Opposing Teams==
| |
| By defeating players from opposing teams, players can retrieve data while at the same time decreasing the amount of data the opposing team holds.
| |
| | |
| ==Adrenaline Rush==
| |
| Adrenaline rush will replace the limit break action during Frontline shatter campaigns. Unlike the limit break, adrenaline rush is unaffected by the actions of party members, and can be used by single players after filling the adrenaline gauge. It can then be activated using Limit Break located under the General tab of the Actions & Traits interface. The adrenaline rush action performed will depend on your role.
