Incursions are now live, and CCP Soundwave would your feedback on how they have been proceeding. Read his newest blog for details on the latest updates to Incursions, and then share your feedback here and answer these questions:
How is the balance of the sites within their own tier? For example, is there any Vanguard site that is considerably more difficult/time consuming than the others?
What set-ups are you successfully using for what sites?
Are there any objectives/functions within sites that are working poorly?
What general issues would you like to point out at this point? Anyway, weĈll keep looking at the feature (and the thread). Please note that changes donĈt happen over night, but they will continue coming!
If thereĈs any other feedback youĈd like to share from us, weĈd love to here it!

There shouldnt be ZERO reward if your fleet is too big ffs. there should be .... something! a packet of peanuts.. a lolipop.. something!
I know its asking a lot but some players come in small ships some come in big ships, can you not put something in so that 5 frigates = 1 BS ? maybe we could then use different tactics for completing sites.. swarming with small ships instead of Just battleships + logi.
anyway, thats my only thoughts.
Yeah I agree. I think our scaling outside the "sweet zones" should be better. This is noted and we'll look into it.

I agree on the difficulty. I've been running these sites on my player character (I was in the final boss fight yesterday too ) and I don't think they're too difficult. I think the majority of the balancing work is balancing sites within their tier. Ideally, you'll all vanguard dungeons will have equal value in the players eyes, instead of having popular types of sites, and sites players just avoid. I'm still waiting for the stats, but I'd take a guess and say the mining ones are probably the least run.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys.
We're meeting Monday to try and hammer out what tweaks we'll be doing. We found an issue in the HQ sites which we're looking to correct, hopefully as soon as Mondays downtime.

Originally by: cedeon I agree with a lot of these guys, my views are: [list]CCP were too quick to change the incursion regen rate and should have known there would be an initial noob rush of death that would quickly settle, as it has. CCP should change this again- increasing the rate.
The regen rate was way too high at the start though. The Algintal incursion basically went from 40-50% done back to 0% in the lull before downtime. That meant you had to just zerg the Incursion over one day, or start again from scratch. Leaving the regen rate as it is, but just requiring more site completions to spawn the Mothership seems like a better solution. So people can spend more time in the same constellation.
Great minds think alike!

Also, since the HQ sites are bugged were they ever impacting the influence for that incursion? My gut feeling is that they were not. Adding yet another reason that the influence should not have been changed until AFTER the bugged HQ sites were fixed.
Think the low-sec and zero-sec rates need a look at purely because the usage scenarios are so wildly different across those security bands. Anyway, I'll think more about this on Monday. Now I'm going to go play some EVE and wait for the next Incursion to appear.
