Thanks Xilyria on twitter for helping me use Alliance chat without actually yelling at a group of strangers to make this video lol

I don't mind callouts like "Crystals spawning soon" or "Focus Red they're Ahead". Some people do just throw fits or get weirdly full of themselves though.

Agreed. Like, my brother/sister in Hydalaen, it's Frontlines, it's not like it's Ranked PVP. Honestly, if you're that into PVP, FFXIV probably isn't the best game for it.

Sometimes its just the person having a bad day or having a real bad losing streak. I usually stop myself once I no longer am having fun or start getting angry but I can see some people keep going and not realizing. So long as they arent going too far its not a big deal in my opinion.

I had a dude who literally marked himself and told EVERYONE to follow him where ever he went. Like he spammed the chat with SEs every time he changed direction. Weren't even good calls.

A few days ago I got a Frontlines where Adders and Flames were beefing with each other while Maelstrom were just going back and forth between our crystal and Adders. Its like they forgot we existed and it was the easiest and quickest fucking win I've ever had in an FF14 PVP match. It was so chill.

The run always makes me laugh 😭

While these Frontlines commanders have good intentions, I really sometimes wish I could turn off other people's chat sound effects; especially when they spam macros in alliance chat ad nauseum.

@@Tardisntimbits Yeah, last week I got someone spamming their Salted Earth countdown in alliance chat

This spoke to me on an emotion and spiritual level

this is too real

Sometimes the pain of needing so many more Frontline wins to get that mount is too much to bear

Shamefully, I am that alliance member sometimes

Truly, the PvP Experience of All Time.

As frontline player with over 3600 matches played, i can confirm this as 100% realistic thing that happens on shatter game mode

I'm always so confused when they give vague commands like "We're split!!! We need to group together!!!". Group together where? Do they want me to drop what I'm doing or am I already in the right place? Or "follow these 2 marked people, who will never be in the same place at the same time, and timed attacks only apply to one of them".

@@tvcak3s414 I always have my map open. If there's two main groups each at their own objectives/battles and both doing poorly, which one am I supposed to be with? The callout leaves everyone to decide where they should group for themselves, which is what they were doing anyway.

​@@freili11if you're unsure more often than not you should be in the area where the bigger group is. They basically want everyone grouped together to fight and not be outnumbered. Sometimes you shouldn't do this like when you're trying to capture a node or finish off big ice that's holding up way too many people. As for the marker you should be following a dark knight and combo with them best you can.

Lol I love when someone gets mad we aren’t playing as a team but then doesn’t give any direction. If you want the team to work as a team someone has to give an instruction. I just run around and try to ko as many people as possible if we win that’s a bonus 😂

I know this video is suppose to be funny/parody but it's just accurate.

I used to love shatter because it was so chill but since they changed it, it is now my least favorite frontline :c

I'll use alliance chat quite a lot in PvP as a 'suggestion' on what to focus on, but oh boy can people get mad at mere suggestions 😅

true,i don’t know why they want to use pve way to win pvp game.i even don’t know why some people don’t like pvp ,they still join in this mod.（i am not targeted on newbie,i mean people who was already complained on internet forum.)

yup pretty much me just getting my daily currency lol

I don’t mind following a strategy, but as soon as they get rude I just ignore them. What’s the point of getting mad at strangers for not playing optimally. Video games are my down time, nobody’s paying me to put up with god-complexes.

this is why i will only do cc and cc only very accurate frontlines run lmao

Hilarious 😂😂

I never could get to like Frontlines; it's just an unremitting cluster at any and all times. There's too much going on, too many variables, and it always feels largely random because of it. Crystalline Conflict, though, I've actually come to like...

I didnt know you played with Charlie Brown's parents

90% of the toxicity in mmo's can be avoided by staying away from pvp

Ahaha exactly 😂😂

Jokes on you. The wow players cant read what you are typing anyways!

Come pvp with me on Crystal sometime, Chili ❤🌶

Good thing I dont write like that, bec I dont actually know tactics.

I get the feeling the people who really get angry haven’t gotten that seal rock 100 wins stuff or anything else related to pvp achievements. While I would like that glam I figure it’d just come in due time. Still prefer crystalline conflict though.

I just find it funny that they think anyone even understands what they’re saying. The large majority of people queue up for Frontlines through roulette once a day at most, so these callouts are kinda meaningless lol.

Yup lol and SE doesn’t have enough “resources” for PvP except the hundreds of millions of dollars for subs and ffxiv mogstation and store smh sad

lol imagine taking ff14 pvp seriously? especially not crystalline conflict
