Faction Flashpoints are a 15 minute Faction event where players will fight over a Capture Zone that will spawn in Dungeons
Faction Flashpoints largely function as traditional field PvP and do NOT have special rules/mechanics like Faction Struggles
A global announcement is made 5 minutes before a Flashpoint begins, indicating which Dungeon it will be in
Players must make their own way to a Flashpoint, there are no Faction Moongates
Times and Duration
2 Faction Flashpoints will occur after every Faction Struggle ends
Occurring at a random time somewhere between 30-60 minutes
As well as 120-150 minutes after the end of a Faction Struggle
Gameplay Details
Faction Flashpoints feature a single Capture Zone, with borders indicated by flashing lights and the traditional Faction Flag and Tile setup that depict which Faction currently controls the Capture Zone (if any)
Control of the Capture Zone functions similarly to Faction Struggles, with a Faction gaining or increasing control of the Capture Zone if it only contains members of their own Faction inside
The rate at which a Faction gains control of a Capture Zone is dramatically reduced compared to Faction Struggles, however
After 15 minutes have passed, the Faction that is controlling the Capture Zone (and whose Faction flag is currently being displayed) is the winning Faction
Faction Hotbar and Gumps
There are NO hotbars or gumps currently displayed for Faction Flashpoints
Scoring for players and guilds is tracked and recorded similarly to Faction Struggles, but this largely occurs behind the scenes
Notoriety/Flagging
Players will NOT automatically flag as Green to other members of their own Faction while near Faction Flashpoints
The Freedom Faction is capable of controlling the Capture Zone (different guilds in the Freedom Faction will still flag as Orange to each other as normal)
