Wow. Just wow. I just did a Brenner Abdhaljs Isle - Purongorgo run with a bunch of JPs and a few NAs. We were among the first NA (or EUs) to try this new Conflict out. While similar to Ballista, it offers a refershing new perspective on PvP.
*I forgot to take pics! Sorry guys!*
Anyway, the landscape is absolutely beautiful. It resembles the island in Bibiki Bay, but with a more symmetrical maze layout. Since we only had about 25 people participating, we stayed only on the north beach, so I did not even get to see any of the south side of the island.
The rules are kinda confusing, I still do not understand all of what is done. It is like capture-the-the flag, except the "flags" are Flammen-Brenner. Each team starts with 2 (or maybe more if you have a large number of people playing).
A neat lilttle thing is that the Flammen-Brenner spawn little mobs called Posten. They are like NPC players for you team, and possess some sweet abilities. They seem to cast AM ALOT (it fun seeing a nearby person get Tornado cast on them^^) and Stunbolt (which does AoE damage and Stun).
A thing I do not understand is what you are supposed to do with Petras. You still /quarry them, but they have no designated recepitles like the Rook and a seemingly benign purpose. Considering like 98% of the people were JP, asking them about what to do with Petras was a lil' challenging^^
Anyway, I had a blast. It offered a new approach to PvP and adds variety to the mundane combat here on FFXI.
Enjoy~
