Oh my35+ pages and some times 22 seconds between post. Well I would like to inject a few things in to the debate that will not get to play out on Sisi.
1) The new FW front page, if Iterated(and works) becomes arguably the most powerful Intel tool in game. that's a huge change in how we will play, the unwashed masses will start showing up weather us organised groups like it or not. As every one gets to know were the action is.
2) Is it just me or dose LP rewards for plexing seem to favor roaming around to all the minors you can do offensively in a faction frigg? Minors pay 1k a min in LP VS. 30k average lp per mission but with travel time, how many missions you can easily grab, and ship requirements factored in its got to very close.
3) So there adding in datacores, and raising base price(to be adjusted buy territory control) this is going to throw a huge monkey wrench in to how we spend LP. Its going to have to be centric on our exclusive items or territory control to discount the other things down BUT latter hugely affects non-FW lp people (EX- so Caldari takes all of blackrise, who can sell a Navy raven and turn a profit vs. there buying power) I am in Factional Warfare. Have been from day one.-á-áI will never work for a mega corp in null-sec. Do not make FW like null-sec. Were is the FW exclusive frigate sized ship? I see the cruiser and battle ship.......... |

Doubtful. Hans is basicly laughing at feeble Amarr/Caldari now in his blog, somehow living in fantasy land that total number of active pvp pilots (not mission w..res) is anywhere near balanced. And he says "Recruit more you "n00blets". Yeah, great recruiting pitch "Enemy has more numbers and makes 4-16 times for isk than us for same effort, but you want to join us and not them because....because...um....can't figure a reason really".
Distrust breeds hatred, hatred fuels war, and war brings fights. CCPGÇÖs expansion is already working as intended = Hans.
Yes, we distrust and hate our enemy (at least everyone should, otherwise why are you playing eve) but that does not mean we are not rational human beings. This in turn causes us to make sure that said sub-human filth (= enemy, like Hans) cannot gank us and get the abovementioned isk boost since there are other options to go along. And we can still keep hating the enemy.
Fortunately I uncovered a massive f...k up in in the upcoming mechanics in SiSi which I will probably use to my advantage until the sun goes out. And i'm not about to report it either since last one only resulted in Caldari getting the blame and Gallente getting away scott-free. |

It wasn't Chiang Kai-shek's fault Japan invaded China.
It wasn't the fault of whoever the Polish leader was back that the Germans and Russians invaded his country.
The reason Chiang Kai-shek is a historical name and whoever was running Poland is not is Chiang Kai-shek made so much noise about how jacked up the occupation was, he eventually got the help. Whoever represented the Poles did not and they faced occupation until the Cold War ended, and the Solidarity Movement (which put up a big stink) helped end it.
We want Hans to be more like Chiang Kai-shek and less like the appeasers who time forgot.
BTW, Chiang Kai-shek had a smokin wife with tig ol bitties. More motivation for Hans.

In the end Chiang still had his own island resort though. What did Poland have except ruined cities and ethnic population hated in equal measure by the Germans and Russians...

Judging by the screenshot used in the blog all they have done is add a tab containing a great big warning label and the other tabs are called same as current.

The new UI is much more useful than the previous militia tabs (LOL @ "news" from two years ago) and is just a framework for more features to be added in the subsequent inferno releases. So yes, there will certainly be iterations upon it. Right now there is information regarding warzone control and victory points, as well as a tab that has information for new players on "how to do" Faction Warfare, more or less.
That one made me especially happy, since I had previously spoken about new player experience and the fact that the FW UI had great potential for empowering new recruits by showing them where to go and what to do. My long-term goal is to refine this such that we can permanently end the pattern of new players sitting around in militia chat x-ing up for fleets, and give them enough tools that they can find the action on their own, and meet friends and form relationships on the battlefield instead of in stations. The new UI is a great step in that direction.
Also, the slider bar that demonstrates the percentage of contestment is pretty cool, its a concept players have been putting to use for some time now through a custom app, and now is available to EVERY faction warfare pilot through the new UI.

Actually I think that addition is going to help a lot more then some people probably think. I see a lot of new blood in FW that want to help but don't know how and quit after a few days of no one willing to fill them in on what to do.

I was pretty clear during the campaign that much of the expansion may very well be set in stone by the time I took office, in fact many brought this up repeatedly, asking me why I was running even though my election might be GÇ£too lateGÇ¥ to do much about Inferno. The reason I ran has always been to make sure that no matter what was implemented, there was an experienced FW participant on the CSM to help with iterating upon whatever CCP had come up with. IGÇÖll be doing this regardless of whether anyone else on the forum wants me to or believes IGÇÖm doing it, thatGÇÖs just my responsibility.
I knew full well my influence on the first pass of changes would be limited, and I knew full well that weGÇÖd have consequences (good and bad) that would need monitoring and adjustment. I knew full well that people would blame me for everything that they didnGÇÖt like in Inferno, whether or not it was my fault. I knew full well that sometimes CCP can be stubborn, and thatGÇÖs why I made a pointed effort to go over the worst-case scenarios everyoneGÇÖs been describing in this thread, IGÇÖd done so long before any of you ever saw anything on SiSi.
All that to say, regardless of the GÇ£FW is ******, theyGÇÖve broken it foreverGÇ¥ attitudes floating around these threads (which get more and more useless by the day GÇô I cannot even believe the ridiculous Chiang Kai-shek banter, are you guys really trying to stay relevant here?) IGÇÖm going to keep doing what IGÇÖve been doing, and what I was elected to do. The reason i'm not in panic mode is that the dedicated team CCP's tasked on to FW up until the next expansion means I will have more opportunity to help you all get your concerns addressed than any of us could have ever imagined even during the rosy optimism of campaign season. It's just not going to happen now, deadlines are deadlines.

Not sure if serious. First off, I hope to god / goddess/whatever that you donGÇÖt actually believe that rolling dice is a valid way of managing oneGÇÖs life.
Secondly, the GÇ£lives are at stakeGÇ¥ language is way overblown and isnGÇÖt going to get you anywhere with the developers. The more extreme peopleGÇÖs postings become, whether theyGÇÖre treating this like a civil rights issue or a matter of GÇ£managing livesGÇ¥, the less CCPGÇÖs going to take feedback from those individuals seriously, if theyGÇÖre even still looking at this thread by now. Now some of you are here just to vent at me and call me names, thatGÇÖs totally fine. Some just want to extend their role play into the forums GÇô thatGÇÖs totally fine too, but thereGÇÖs a separate forum for that, it has nothing to do with the CSM.
For those here that are trying to actually accomplish something in terms of sharing feedback to CCP (and I know many of you are) GÇô I just want to make sure everyone is clear that the **** talking and role playing are completely counterproductive and reflect quite poorly on the community as a whole.

I barely got to fight yesterday during Enaluri but alot of the GalMil guys were giving Caldari props for rallying that many people. Just imagine how much more competitive it would be if they actually had any sort of organization and fleet doctrine
Well you have never tried to work with other corps with-in Caldari Militia.. Anything that might sound like common sense to anyone outside Caldari Militia just falls on death ears to those inside.

Vordak Kallager wrote: Well, the problem isn't necessarily the mechanics, its the people. Currently, Minmatar and Gallente are simply bigger and more numerous. There isn't anything CCP can do to change that. I don't think its fair for CCP to limit participation from the bigger side in favor of the little guy; that isn't the way CCP has historically built EVE Online.
And if they did somehow create some restriction on how many people of each militia could be in a system or in a plex at a single time, that system would get horribly abused and be hopelessly ineffective. Regardless of whatever mechanics CCP decides to throw at us, the problem is that we are simply bigger/stronger than the Amarr and likewise for the Gallente. Nothing CCP does will change that, it is up to the Amarr and Caldari themselves to a) recruit more or b) cooperate/coordinate with the #s they have better or c) do nothing, leave the warzone, and let the Minmatar/Gallente to stagnate/atrophy with no targets until the sides are once more at an equilibrium.
That is the way the warzones have always been, Inferno isn't going to change this very fundamental aspect of the war.
First no one is suggesting limitting the number of people in a system or plex.
However when ccp implements mechanics that promote blobbing that is a problem. For example no one being able to dock will severely limit the number of different systems the losing side can hit at at the same time. (thereby splitting up the blob) Hence the effectiveness of having a blob is amplified. This is the sort of pro null sec mechanic that is a big part of the new system. Do you think limitting where people can base out of hurts blobbing?
This and other reasons how this will lead to more blob warfare have been explained, so I won't go through them again - unless you missed them.
Your solutions:
A) recruit more. Why not just say get your own blob? I am not interested in the politics of recruiting and "empire building". I wanted to be in a "fight club." What happened to those ideals?
Also note what damarr said. Recruiting for the losing side is pretty hard to do if you have a rational person. The only way you will be able to turn the tide is if you can get some sort of large alliance on your side. And well that again will just make this more like null sec.
B) I really don't know what do you mean by "cooperate/coodinate" better? Do you mean all form into the same big blobby fleet instead of having numerous small gangs? If I wanted to join a blob I would be in null sec already.
C) Why is it so wrong to express our thoughts on the forums to let ccp and csm know what we think?
The war zone is not going to be the same as it has always been. Its going to change due to the mechanics ccp is putting into the game. For people who like sov null sec and big blobby fights it will be better. I am happy for them. But I also say to them why not just leave that in null sec and give people who like more frequent less blobby pvp a single mechnanic. Just one.

Either way, CCP stopped reading FW threads that does not call them out on blatant blunders ages ago .. so wouldn't worry about them not reading this. If they did read them then surely we would have had some indication that they were even aware they launched this thing called Factional Warfare .. and it has been almost three years with nary a mention of anything FW related except for a few bugs they managed to create when fixing something else entirely. This latest "fix" is about as positive that proof can get that they have no clue about FW and stopped reading a long time ago as it does nothing to actually promote the war or foster the ever elusive "Good Fight" .. just the fact they have openly said that FW will now be used specifically as a testbed for future null changes ..

There will always be small gang fights off the main pipes. If you're after small fights, then roam away from the front lines and the home systems of various FW alliances/corps. Make a base in a non-FW system that's close to the action: Gallente/Caldari low sec for Minmatar/Amarr theater. Gallente low sec or even Syndicate for Gallente space. Mara/Karja for Caldari space. |

There really isn't any small gang "fights" in FW.. There is small gank "ganks" and small gangs getting ganked. Sure you can go into a plex to fight 2 or 3 frigs, dessies or cruisers but any sort of small gang "fight" is very few and extremely far between.
Pretending you are doing "small gang" when it's 3 or 4 guys on a KM but 30 in local on your side to come to your beck and call soon as you know you will get beat is not small gang fighting.
There is zero opportunity for getting these so called small gang fights out of Gal Militia, because you guys rarely if ever go out side of your easy blob zones where back up is 1 jump away. Anytime a corp like mine for example takes out 8 to 10 BC's the moment we show up on radar is the only time you guys ever come into the back systems and then it's only with 2 times what we could possibly fight.
This leaves us with ganking random targets of opportunity and not being able to give any better fight than what you guys end up giving us. I did get a kick the other night when we killed a Gal BC on a plex gate that had pretty much equal numbers to us with him but they all ran then accused us of blobbing. |

Once you increase the numbers in your fleet above what would give a single battleship a good fight the chances of finding another fleet that is comparable gets less likely. That is why IMO solo is best way to get frequent good fights.

No, you're taking what I said out of context. Obviously I have no issue with role play in Faction Warfare, I'm specifically referring to the mixing of role play with complaints directed at either CCP or the CSM regarding changes game mechanics. CCP does not care who's winning or losing the war, I'm saying players who want to be relevant when it comes to providing effective feedback on an issue need to be able to know when to separate one from the other.

Sure changes give you LP, though most of that need a s^&t load of tags and Plexes are almost never salvaged, new system will make that even harder.So jack casual still needs a side income, which will be very hard after the patch, unless you want to run FW missions.
Untill later FW Friends and Enemies I am afraid new people are not comming ... only attention of some "roll over them for lulz" alliance.
LOLs! I'm getting 20+ convos per week (for the last 3 weeks) about joining Militia... I would suggest to start recruiting... ;) |

Just to add... Many of the people that have joined so far have ground their rep from -5.0 with the appropriate faction to +0.5 to get in... Hate to say it but there are plenty of peeps interested in these new changes. Doomsdayers just need to take a step back... Or Register for the Apocolypse Afterparty on facebook... One of the 2. :P
As Mike said, the future of the Militia's will be written by the old leaders that stick around and the new people that come... And there are plenty of those new players... |

I keep hearing things like "Plex farming" from everybody I talk to. Getting a bit concerned, tbh. Fearing massive amounts of offensive plexing in far off systems that don't matter, no defensive plexing, no fights since it will be more efficient to go for isk instead. We'll see what happens soon enough.

As Mike said, the future of the Militia's will be written by the old leaders that stick around and the new people that come... And there are plenty of those new players... Problem is that if you are right and the militias all get a massive surge of active pilots due to the new farm-friendly mechanics then the FW we have bled for and moaned about the past 3 years ceases to exist .. hell it will do so even without a surge due to the farms necessitating blobs to keep them pristine.
We are already close to having zero solo/small-gang fights these days .. in the years after it kicked off, majority of fights was <10 man per side with big romps on weekends only (almost) .. add your hundreds on all sides and no fight will be with less than 50 per side, lockouts take care of that as offense will always aim for superiority from the start due to not being able to reship.
I seriously miss the days when I could take a Punisher or Nomen out and fight 1-3 people in contests of skill and determination over the right to irrelevant VP .. "GF"'s were abundant then. Now you need to check Titan's for people waiting to drop you, keep a looooong list of all the enemy neutral boosters/scouts and then hope to find an enemy that doesn't outnumber you 4:1.
What I and most others have lobbied for since 2010 (current trend started back then) is mechanics that encouraged staying small and challenged the individual on an hourly/daily basis .. problem of course is that CCP didn't read anything FW related until last December onwards and at that point in time all people could talk about was how poor they were (FW LP devalued in preceeding year) and wouldn't it be great if there was pay involved and some effect of taking space ..
FW truly held promise beyond anything CCP has released since I started playing; Small scale fighting, ideal RP/PF/Lore platform .. purpose. What it is about to become is a blobby farm fest with almost no redeeming features .. even the once :awesome: size restriction on plexes has been killed of by the new pirate/navy hulls and T3 boosters.

They actually did a good thing with the Crucible plex changes. It increased small gang a lot. I think they need to tweak capture times down to 3x current, but we will see. |

Well I think a big part of the question is how much of a part will the "lp upgrades" play in the 16x multiplier. If by you doing a plex in my system I lose the lp I put into it and therefore may have to pay 2xs as much in the lp store we may see these offensive plexes being defended.
The problem is CCP has not spelled out how much the lp upgrades really count toward the 16x multiplier.
Now lets say minmatar have 50 systems. If the 16x multiplier is more dependant on the numer of systems you have sov in and not very dependant on how much lp is invested in those systems then they will not upgrade many of those systems. Because the updrades themselves are fairly worthless. This will mean that the minmatar will not uprade those systems and therefore will not really be losing anything if I go and plex them. Hence there won't be much fighting until the actual system is in jeopardy of flipping and then it can be addressed 35 hours later.
From the amarr side I will have no additional incentive to plex in a system that was upgraded if the amount of isk invested is not the main driving force in determining the 16x multiplier. Therefore I were a greedy carebear I will go ahead and get my lp from a system that is not upgraded and unlikely to get a pvp response because I am not taking lp from them.
However if the lp upgrades play a very very large role in the 16x multiplier both sides will have a bigger incentive to focus their plexing on those systems and fight for those systems.
I make this point here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1305327#post1305327 and in the next post.
Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815
