As a multi year FW vet, I agree completely that the FW plex system as is sucks. It is too easy to farm and avoid fights. Week old character in frigates can run up to mediums with ease because of the single NPC.
Firstly, I would like to see sizes that have the T2s bumped up rather than down. T2 frigs should be in with T1 destroyers, T2 cruisers in with BCs. CCP went out of their way to make the T1 cruisers worth flying (with the rebalances) except in the one area of the game that had ship type restrictions on PvP.
Novice (T1/Navy/Pirate frigs) Small (T1 Des and T2/T1/Navy/Pirate frigs) Medium (T1/Navy/Pirate Cruisers , T2/T1 Des, and T2/T1/Navy/Pirate Frigs) Large (T1/Navy BCs, T2/T1/Navy/Pirate Cruisers , T2/T1 Des, and T12T1/Navy/Pirate Frigs) Major (no accel gate, so warp titans in if desired)
As for the NPCs, back before any FW changes were made one of the big issues was that the NPCs were horribly unbalanced. Some had EWAR that always was effective, will others used purely long range weapons at point-blank range (Amarr NPCs for example). What most people were looking for was better balance to the NPCs, not few of them. That was clearly going to lead to the farming that happens.
Finally, on missions, I think FW missions should be removed entirely. There are three ways to earn LP, agent missions, Incursion sites, and FW plexes/PvP. Why should FW also have missions if Incursion runners do not get LP for PvP? Why not let highsec mission runners be able to sit at a timer and earn millions if isk? While I am glad to see more players involved in FW, I wish it was not for the easy cash-cow that FW has become.

I like getting HAC killmails when squids bring them to fleet fights in Mediums.
Also, consider the poor Falcon alts who'll starve if they were to be banned from medium plexes! |

Timer rollback should be good enough. When I go out plexing, I hope to get a fight. With the old plex mechanics you had to fight the NPCs and whoever entered the plex. There was no way to fight a frig 1on1, because the one that had the NPCs on him lost almost always.
Dont make plexing harder for the guys that are actually staying for a fight, make it harder for those that always run away. Thats why I prefer timer rollback. |

back then. all the races plexs were fairly easy to get rid of the rats. the only ones that you had a have a lvl4 fleet to do was the minmatar plexs and the caldari ones.

Posting in a timer rollback thread.
As for "game immersion" - yeah the plexing mechanic is very artificial. They could do something to spice it up a bit.
Really liking the fights to be had at districts though. Feels more "real" FWIW. |
