FFXIV PVP Discussion Thread: HAHAH SLEEP!

[Seravi Edalborez]

This is actually a situation where HG would not have worked then.

Retroactively re-declared a Holmgang Moment (TM).

[Tobi]

Friend is saying the longer you hold a flag, the more points it generates.

Just did another match, we held 3 flags for such long time, it stayed at 4 a tick, so don't think this is true. However, the moment we got 4 flags, we started getting 8 a tick, and when it dropped back to 3, 4 a tick, then get 4 again, back up to 8. So I can safely say 4 bases is definitely 8 a tick. Also, we had adder OP at one point during our 3 and were still getting 4 a tick if I recall correctly, so don't think its based off what you have captured that generates extra standing per tick.

[Seravi Edalborez]

On my part, I took that 6/tick from someone else. Saw for myself now that 8/tick was right. Will edit.

[Tobi]

I love the people who end up leaving near the end cause they think we're gonna lose, then we always end up winning still. Just had that happen not long ago, and someone joined in progress right as we won, that easy 5sec win must feel great for them lol.

[Korialstrasz]

Considering it becomes harder and harder to gain/control flags the more you get, it makes sense that you would earn additional points for holding them.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Was doing a few matches an hour ago on Primal data center, Adders dominating up to 4 and even sending people to the sun temple on top of that (why?)

[OWS_Tonx]

cuz we roll mad deep



I have no idea

[Tobi]

I like how I'm now in queue for 50min, while my friends get out of their match(again), queue for 3min, and get a match before I do, how I love these queues as of late.

[BerenTebogo]

I like how people still don't understand you can win without holding a single OP if you boss up the center.

People freak out OMG WE LOST OP and leave right when adds spawn.

[Seravi Edalborez]

On the flip side, OMG WE LOST NODE but we've been holding 4 outposts for like the entire game so it's all good bro.

[BerenTebogo]

I think overall it's easier to defend one position with a good party than it is 3-4 with no control over 16 other derps.

[Seravi Edalborez]

True. Though ideally A and C are still good enough to still defend 3-4 points though while B dominates mid.

[Tobi]

I find the hardest part is finding a good B team who actually knows what they're doing instead of completely ignoring the middle. On a side note, anyone have exp tables for each rank? I'm almost 35 and curious how much more I need to hit 38, though I still plan to go for 40, but right now I mainly want 38.

Edit: Yufhi was faster.

Thanks. Hopefully I can hit 38 sometime by the end of the weekend.

[Tobi]

I can also confirm that holding 5 bases is 16 a tick, double of 4 bases, so maybe its safe to assume having all 6 is 32 a tick?

Edit: Just had a match now where we were up by 600, so B team got cocky, decided to completely forget the middle, adder then gets the middle node + drones, which gave them huge come back, and of course they then win afterwards with us in 2nd at 1574 standing. When will people realize getting drone+node kills basically decides the match 90% of the time.

[Seravi Edalborez]

4/5 times the team with the node kill wins. The 1/5 is when they get it by having 24/24 people up there the entire game to do it.

[Judai]

Nothing.

Is more satisfying that Holmgang-ing someone who just popped sprint to make a getaway and smashing their face in.

N O T H I N G

Hitting 4 people chasing you in the face with Blast Shot and watching as they plummet off the edge to their death is pretty amazing.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Btw, because someone mentioned it I tried using Holmgang as I jumped off to take someone down with me.

Well said person was on a Behemoth mount so their target circle was so big they didn't get pulled off the ramp. Or something.
