And no I was not earning anything, I am in staunch opposition to the entire "LP-for-Everything" solution that CCP implemented and all LP I have earned since they irrevocably broke FW with the FarmWarGäó patch are put into the nearest iHub.
You see, I do not buy into the whole "standards are good, so double standards must be twice as good" idea like most of my species seem to do
Sorry dear, been at this for a long time and have been rather consistent just as in real life. Flip-Flopping is for politicians and people with weak research skills (can't believe they even still exist in this Age of Uncle Google).
Timer autorun until reset upon contested 'touch'. VP increase based on reverse tier LP multiplier. Reduction of tier LP modifier (x5.5 for a steam roller is just obscene). Missions to hostile space only. Bunker EHP grind replaced with auto-flip after (4 - Adjacent hostile systems)+1) hours or something similar.
To start ...
Would prefer a complete re-do but that ship has sailed I am afraid so will make do with tweaks.

. ok so rewind a few months amarr pushed to t4 so did caldaris and all was rosey amarr were chestbeating on forums there battleships were flavor of the month with ppl and the battle crys was out, fweddit was announcing glitter fleets were gunna take over and minnies prepare there holes .. (even you was happy im not trolling thru that threadnaught but it was there) you was earning u was happy. caldaris were also crowing that daddy evoke had joined and now gallentes were gunna get beat back. (all smiles here and happy) Game at this point working as intended................... now the sides have flipped bk its BROKEN again and its always a caldari or amarr that posts these threads ... So argument not dead
I agree with Muad'dibs response. We pushed it to prove that by being risk averse carebears we could push it up to t4. Unforutnaly spending a pvp pilots time on plexing and bearing burnt us all out. And minnis logged on and rabbit and farm plexed it all right back within 2 weeks.
Which is actually what we are doing again this last weekend and this week. We are being risk averse carebears and we already have earned more VP then the Gallente, Caldari and Minnis combined this weekend. Just proving the point that if you dont play eve online and play orbit button u can win the warzone.

Jesus, Cearain. You act as if finding people plexing is hard. It's not. Right now no one shows up because no one gives a ****. Or, you know, they do show up, and the plexer runs. Or they show up and the plexer doesn't run and there's a fight.

Nope we dont flip them and higher the tier level to discourage farmers t2 isnt a bad payout ;)
So you proactivly work towards prevent farmers from joining your side? Doesnt really matter since minmatar are always high teir and they can plex the caldari systems. Which still gives them LP and doesnt rely on gallente LP store....
Quote: Wrong again you cant farm past vulnerable and cals dont deplex it so that farmers can earn putting it right bk in again while were not flipping them
Think you might be able to gain LP but no VP in a system that is vulnerable... even if not there is still the fact that caldari could deplex it giving you offensive plex LP, OR that you are preventing them from gaining offensive plex LP, or that gallente just dont want to flip systems because you know. too busy being rabbits.

So they proved it could be done then the tide can be turned with co-operation, hardwork + TZ coverage, Feature working as intended
Once again, if we wanted to literally avoid all pvp and do nothing but orbit beacons and only form up for ihub bashes then yes we can push the warzone. But after 1 weekend of being a risk averse rabbit you begin to want to bash your head on the keyboard and quit eve. Because cliking orbit button and watching tv is not playing eve. |

Xolve, I love you, but please look at the numbers and rationalize before entering rage f*** all the things mode.
These are the VP points earned on 4/27/2013
1 Fweddit 9160 2 State Protectorate 6660 3 Federal Defense Union 4540 4 Tribal Liber Force 3940 5 24th Imperial Crusade 1920 6 KOZA Z PIEKLA 1440 7 In Exile. 1280 8 Diesel Corporation 1140 9 Space Devilss 1080 10 SQUIDS. 920
These are the top VP earners: These names are all that are in Fweddit or YOLOCOLO group. Numbers are their rank in overall VP gain for FW.
4 Tom Forager 540 8 Rocko Tsero 500 10 Hesh Poljus 480 13 Pinky Feldman 420 14 Tristan daCuhna 420 19 Siiv Siix 400 24 Rommell Drako 360
So yes we can push the warzone... if we sell our souls to the orbit gods and slash our wrists in the name of Slaanesh. |

You and your corp may be fine with that, (and cry bloody murder anytime someone suggests changes that would make the war pvp) but others want to actually fight a war.
idk what war youzone you been fighting in the past few years. sahtogas has always been a hot area, being 1-2 jumps from the front lines and all. and most of the saht locals dont give a **** about d-plexing. From Poetic stanzels blog: Most Active Systems: Kamela (3473) Kourmonen (3121) Huola (2320) Sahtogas (1115) Sosala (1097) Most Active Systems: Amamake (3986) Rens (2823) Siseide (2728) Dal (2379) Vard (1552) There are 6 other systems with over 2 and 3xs the number of kills. In other words it you will get about 1/3 to 1/2 the number of fights in the same time. Those six systems are all within one or 2 jumps from kourm. Sahtogas is 5 jumps from kourm. Again we can characterize these facts however we want but there are the numbers. It may have been bad luck but when I would head out there Sahtogas and its surrounding systems would be pretty dead. Lately, of course, that has changed. That was my point. Lately sahtogas has taken off and next to ammamake it has the most kills in the last 24 hours.
i guess the 'being 1-2 jumps from the front lines and all.' confused you. and maybe the 'past few years' also confused you to.
and even so according to your own words 'Sahtogas is heating up recently but it traditionally isn't even one of the top pvp systems on that front' accord to this post you just made its in the top 5. so idk whats up with that. |

If you dont like doing the thing fw entails why the fk are you in fw. You say you did it once but got bored you mean u got some isk got fat and lazy and couldnt be arsed to do it again when minnies fought bk (why bother your rich now neway).
Ok so u want sov war for real then I suggest all plexes be removed and we have to do it like null seccers do drop sbus and tcus and fight timers removes farmers all together but is even more boring than orbiting when the blueballs start coming.

Someone already beat you to the argument "if you don't like fw, then quit" and the other argument "yer not even in fw, so your view doesn't count"
But you are the first in this thread to make another of the standard arguments against making fw pvp.
7) "If you don't like fw then ....Stop posting on the forums that you don't like mechanics."
This is also a standard argument against making faction war sov a pvp game. Of course it makes no logical sense. But such illogical posts become the norm for people trying to defend the current rabbit plexing system.

LOL look at the numbers.... saht (1115). the lowest on the other list is Vard (1552). thus saying its still a slow system. This info doesnt have dates on it so i dont know wtf it is but you can still tell saht is a slow system. |

Also, no.
You are right no one shows up because they don't give a ****. I agree. But the reason they don't give a **** is because the game is horribly broken. People try to win games that are fun and challenging. Not games that are broken and stupid. Right now FW sov is broken and stupid so few care to even try to win it.
I do all my pvp pretty much exlclusively in or at plexes. On average I would say I need to go about 5 systems to find someone running a plex. Often I will warp to plexes outside dscan range to find they are empty.
So if a pvper had a tool to allow him to go directly to where the plexes were being run he would be at least 5xs as efficient. After rabbits got repeatedly chased out of plexes and had that time wasted do to a rollback many if not all would leave to find some other pve activity. The rabbits would leave and the plexes would be taken by pvpers. FW sov would be a pvp mechanic.
So letting pvpers directly know where plexes are being capped will make them much more efficient and it will make the rabbits several times less efficient. Like I said its pretty straight forward.
But I guess your view is that no one will react to this intel right? I want to get this straight because these threads almost always end up with people arguing contradictions. Namely, some will say too many will react to the intel and it will be blobs! Others like you say no one will react to the intel. I think enough will react to the intel so rabbit plexing will end. But the war zone is too large (and there are too many different sized plexes) for a single or even 5 or 6 blobs to control the whole warzone.

Thanks alucard. I think this thread now has all the standard bad arguments to preserve the current rabbit plexing game called fw sov.
8) if we let the pvpers know where people are plexing no one will respond!
and in the very same post
9) If we let pvpers know where people are plexing too many will respond!
I think those were the last of the standard arguments in favor of keeping the current carebear race.
Now I think we can expect those who like the current hide and seek plexing to just continue with comments like "notifications are stupid" or "cearain shouldn't post so much" Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

lets not bother posting anything about eve ever and just hope they guess right (cus that worked so great in the past).
im whining, you are the one bad posting irrelevant one liners
besides real answer: i cant play eve at work so i post to help the game i love when i get home to play it.
fw was plenty of fun before inferno, instead of being enhanced with new features and mechanics, its got worse - but thats okay because the easymode farm alts are happy.

I've read you say the same thing over and over, from thread to thread for literally months. No one here is saying FW is perfect, or that we shouldn't talk about changes.
This notification idea however, is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
I don't chase farmers because they tend to be people that don't want to fight, its not because I cant find them or they 'give me the slip' and go into some back system. Peoples time is limited, the 'true pvpers' you care so much about are going to move on the instant a farmer shows what he is. Sure I could chase him, warp back and forth, maybe he'll slip up, but on average my time is better spent moving on. Again, what do I care if a stabbed condor is plexing 13 jumps away? Hes still going to be 30km off the warp in, stabbed, and in warp anyway by the time I land, nothing you do is going to change that.
Which brings me to my second point, why does anyone with a functioning brain want to rely on a notification system? The system doesnt know **** about my militias priorities, again, wtf do I care if some as***e is plexing in Nagamen in a cloaky rifter? Use your FW tab and see which systems are going up/down whatever, you'll notice if you actually care about those systems. Combined with intel channels and functioning intra militia relations, you will quickly be able to control your WZ. Quite frankly I would have to completely ignore you notification system if it was implemented, I'm sure others feel the same.
Your suggestions, to me, really highlight the fact that you do not operate within a militia. People hold on to the systems they decide to hold onto and live in. Systems where farming occurs that is detrimental to our militia, are quickly targeted and farmers dispersed. "Hide and Seek" plexing has not been the recent character of the relevant (to sov) aspects of FW. That you would think this in light of the past 5-6 months that has seen the advent of massive system capture efforts, home system versus home system, is quite bewildering.
There are farmers in Hallanen, but not in Nennamalia. Learn to live in or near systems you dont want farmed. A notification system is not going to grant you the ability to sail the seven seas slaying every farmer you see on some epic roam of the entirety of the FW WZ.

yes with the man power it can, for the sake of a test. yes its possible, but what are you going to do, convince everyone in fw to change a side every few months to make it even? theres only so many that care in the first place and they tend ot stick to their sides.
you cant sustain the man power because of: certian fw factions have better locations and adjacent systems certain fw factions have more or less systems FW prices dispite a full year basicly on one side, the other is still not close to being as profitable new players are swayed by ease: locking them out of half the map or more makes joining the losing side stupid new players looking to farm will only pick the easiest side if a side overcomes the odds and swings things their way, they are all burned out and theres no replacements
it would take nothing more at this point to give a super duper awesome must-have ship or module in the losing side only to get the farmers to change - but they wont change they will make another alt and do it while theres money in it.

OK so you are taking the position that the notifications will be ignored. Keep in mind that there are plenty of people who post that far from being ignored they will be watched closely not only by miltia but by neutrals with an alt in fw.
Moreover I know for a fact that I would love to know everyone plexing within 3 jumps of me. I love plex pvp. I am not the only one either. There are plenty of people who will respond to these notifications. Maybe you won't but plenty of people will.
Rabbits stick around because they can continue to plex without anyone coming to fight them. There is a reason they prefer systems with few in local. Very few will even know they are there. When you combine notifications with timer rollbacks you have a system where 5 or 6 pvp pilots spread out can easilly make sure that every plex is fought over.

The idea behind fw sov war is that we are trying to win space for our faction. I know very few people care about it now. But that is largely because they see how silly it is to try to resist the rabbit hordes. If the fw sov game turned into a small gang pvp heavan, that would change. It would be something to brag about winning. Now its not.
So now in its broken state players either move out of the warzone completely, or they just pretty much care about 1 or 2 systems that they base out of. No one cares about the other 90% of the war zone because we don't have the tools to deal with rabbit plexers.
The notification system does not need to know your personal priorities. But for those who want to fight for sov for their militia it would be a great tool. Maybe you are not interested in the sov war and just want to hold one system to dock your ships. Thats fine you can still do that. But I can guarantee you that there are plenty of fw pvpers who love plex fighting and would love to know where they need to go to fight for the complexes. What supports this claim?
Consider that about 35% of the pvp in plexes involves players who are not even in the militia. They can't make the timer run. They can't get lp. They are just there for the high quality pvp plex mechanics can offer. When you think about that, you should realize that there are plenty of people who would love to fight over plexes thoughout the warzone. Not just be forced to one or two systems where the home team has all their booster alts and blobs.

I spent a few years in the miltia including being in the militia under the current mechanics. Moreover since leaving 95% of my eve time involves fighting in plexes. (the other 5% trade and moving ships) I know very well how the plex war works. Hide and seek plexing decides sov in 90% of the warzone. And the pvpers in fw don't have the tools to do anything about the hordes of rabbits.
There are rabbits in all the systems. Typically the rabbits in home systems are alts that just defensive plex when the enemy leaves.

System control numbers for each warzone
Amarr/Minmatar Vulnerable: 0 Above 90%: 1 80-90%: 2 70-80%: 2 60-70%: 3 50-60%: 7
Caldari/Gallente Vulnerable: 19 90%: 10 80-90%: 8 70-80%: 4 60-70%: 2 50-60%: 9
How are there 19 systems that are vulnerable? Why has Gallente not flipped them? (all of the vulnerable systems are caldari owned, this is the definition of Minmatar plexing alts pushing their warzone).
This is the definition of broken. No one in the gallente wants to fight the warzone. They are either also plexing, leaving the system in caldari hands so they can continue to offensive plex it (more LP), or dont understand the flip mechanics.
Anyway you look at it you have to realize this is broken. EVE FARMVILLE ONLINE is what faction warfare is and if you cant tell that by the numbers then you might not be cut out for spreadsheets online.
These numbers are also the reason why I never care for the opinions from anyone on that side of the warzone. These numbers disgust me.
I think its a general consensus that we are happy at tier 2 and that leaving systems vulnerable actually starves minmatar farmers of LP. Caldari of course flip systems the second they go vulnerable which gives the farmers immediate grounds to work on. We then flip a couple of systems back to retain the balance as caldari already have more than enough systems to hit tier 2 but dont for one reason or another.
That is the shape of the gallente war-zone. |

The suggestion that has been made by multiple people to reset the timer when a farmer warps out would greatly change things. Sure there would still be some farmers making LP when no one challenges them, but they would be greatly disrupted by WTs and nuetrals coming in to lite them up.
If every time a farmer got chased out of a medium, the timer reset to 20 or 25 (whatever it is) then you would quickly see a reduction in carebears and an increase in those of use that take almost every fight.
I only warp out when the incoming ship/force is obviously to strong for me and is a loss waiting to happen. IE a rupture warping into the medium im trying to take in my cormorant. Will i lose the progress i made yes. Did the defender do his job yes.
If i cant hold it, i don't deserve the LP Looked up...saw this F***ING clown dropping like a rock.-á Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!! |

Hardly seems that rabbit plexing is out of control if there are 5 empty systems in a row.
Also, you are terrible at finding pvp. |

It's a fun distraction, but the whole thing seems to 'entry level' to actually enjoy with High Skill points, removing larger scaled plexes (or making them really rare) was literally the bane of people who could fly things bigger than Frigates and Destroyers. I never cared about the warzone, loyalty points, farming or VP; I cared about shooting things, Fweddit devolved into a massive pve corp, so I left.
Because at it's core, that is what FW is, PVE. There's nothing wrong about posting about things you want fixed or are passionate about, it's just funny to me that the same people, post the same arguments, time and time again- if that effort was spent elsewhere they might see the fruits of their labor actually put to use, instead of smattering thread after thread with a mix of good and bad ideas that will never see the attention of the Developers.
There are people recently elected onto the CSM that actually care about FW, why band together with a few of your liked minded fellows and put something together to present to that CSM member, that given chance (Fozzie isn't done with FW) could present it at a round table/skype call/whatever.

If i cant hold control of the plex in one unbroken (no warpout) occupation of the site, i don't deserve the LP.
Come to think of it, add cloaking to that list also. No cloaking or the timer resets. These two measures combined would cripple plex farming and encourage only those that fight to try to take the plexes.
I think thats too harsh. It removes the incentive to ship / form up to fight the people who kicked you from the plex if on your return the timer is back to scratch. That is why timers counting backwards is a good idea. Perhaps if the enemy stay in the plex the timer counts back twice as fast until it reaches its start point.
That would retain some incentive to come back for a fight, and for the other side, to wait for a fight. |

Were do you get this notion from that people who dont care for backwater systems that see no action and serve no purpose to us suddendly become desirable just because we know someone plexing there. We already know people are plexing backwaters and still dont give a fk about them anyone. They provide no military or strategic advantage to us like a home system does

Why do people still bleat on about making FW sov a pvp centric mechanism...
GET A GRIP PEOPLE!! PVP only sov mean structure bashing and superblobs. Why do you think null is so f'ked atm. And you want FW to follow THAT example?
I'll put it in simple terms so the slow among you can understand.
There are not enough players spread out across the TZ's to make a reliable pvp only sov mechanic.
Plain and simple, anyone with half a brain can see this.
The suggestions of timer rollbacks and reducing the LP payout bonuses are probably the most sensible sugestions on these type of threads.
My personal bugbear is the diagonal plexing. I believe that you should get the LP for the factions warzone you are fighting in at their teir lvl. (eg. minnie alt plex's a caldari system they should get gallente lp at gallente teir not minnie at whatever boosted teir they are at.)
And if anyone believes that PVP cannot have an effect sov then you obviously haven't been part of a home system offensive. The fact that 'rabbit' plexer exsist show fundementally that there isn't the playerbase to support a full pvp sov.
I think that the whine cycle has just repeated itself again! That is the Way, the Tao.
Balance is everything. |
