Objective and Mechanics

Players will be tasked with defending outposts established by their respective Grand Companies, as well as locating and laying claim to key Allagan ruins, holding them safe from opposing teams.

Each team will be awarded points upon completing various objectives including occupying locations of interest, defeating players from opposing teams, and defeating enemies that spawn on the field.

Points

Occupying Locations of Interest: Locations of interest such as outposts and Allagan ruins can be identified by flags, indicating the Grand Company that currently controls them. By remaining in close proximity to these flags, players can occupy these locations to earn points for their team.

Teams will receive a fixed number of points upon claiming locations of interest, and will also accrue points over time for every location that remains occupied by their Grand Company.

Occupying locations of interest will prove key to victory, as this yields points in great quantities.

Defeating Opposing Players

Defeating Monsters

Death

Incapacitated players will be returned to their Grand Company's landing, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat after a short delay. Returning to your landing after being incapacitated will not incur a weakness penalty, but the delay before you can rejoin the battle will lengthen each time you fall.

Mounts

Players are free to use mounts on the Frontline. However, players taking damage while mounted will be inflicted with the Heavy status effect.

Roles

There is no role restriction in Frontline. Teams can have as many or few of the tank, DPS and healer classes and jobs. Players can also change their classes or jobs when they are in their team's Outpost.

Strategy

Each team will earn points from killing enemies and capturing and holding Capture Points.
