It wasn't just a TZ advantage, it was dedication.
Although I appreciate that the Amarr militia was willing to compromise their lives to concentrate their efforts on the DT plexing, and I salute them for such dedication, it's not something many of us can do.
For us, less dedicated, players, this broken mechanic should be fixed. --------------------------------------- Outface the depths of evil with clarity --------------------------------------- |

And I'd like to remind people that are reading that this is not about whining cos we are losing etc. I salute Amarr for being able to have the dedicated people get online after downtime - a true effort and shows dedication to the game.
However this should be addresses same as the POS reinforcement. If all POS'es were to come out of reinforcement right after DT... You get my point? This needs to be addressed and balanced. Factional Warfare is great but this and the fact that Plexing really does not give any rewards is making peeps drop FW.

I'm already bringing this up through the CSM and I discussed this at fanfest as well.
At fanfest they were very 'meh' about it and I hope I'll get some better answers when I hand over the official CSM document. ---

I live in Germany and have so-so results when looking for plexes unless it's during the weekend.
Please change this as I am not planning to give up my day job to stare at timers for hours on end. While I could grind missions for the ISK ang GTCs, without a day job I'd soon be out of power and internet...

I complained in another thread a few weeks back regarding this lousy game mechanic. As a US west coast player, plexing doesn't really exist for me right now. Hard to find things to do in FW right now in the hours before downtime. (read: hard to find war targets to pew pew with as well)
Good to see the same game mechanic finally causes an Eve news item in the Minmatar/Amarr side of the war.. d'oh!

it is possible the OP overestimates the two following components of this issue:
1. CCP's competence 2. CCP cares about the issue

While I can't vouch for which side of the conflict has more players active immediately after DT (I highly doubt either side has a distinct geographic advantage)as I too am a late night U.S. West Coast player, I can say that i have alot of difficulty finding plex's and it would be nice to find some by randomizing and moving them more. This extends to pretty much any U.S. players as I highly doubt that 4 A.M. + is peak playing time for the majority of US.
As near as i can tell our participation picks up after the work day roughly 4-10p.m. pacific time. Also it would be nice to see some later storyline activities happening in New Eden as I always seem to miss them being asleep then at work during those hours.

I copied the original post to the CSM forum for more support and to raise it as issue toward CCP:
Issue - Post-DT FW plex mechanics in a QR world
Please support and sign the issue there so a fix get raised in priority at CCP. ----- Garr Anders

@OP: Ask to have this thread moved to GameDev/Features+Ideas forum. Anything in General Discussion attracts the wrong people and has a tendency to be regarded as a whine rather than a concern.
It is broken no doubt about it, but if it is the lesser of two evils I dread what it might have been if CCP did not make the compromise. By the tone of what Greyscale said, it seems the issue stems from limitations in the exploration system and its ability to exclude certain systems from rotation. Unless CCP sets about creating a separate system for FW, they will have to rewrite the entire exploration code which I bet won't be easy
The Amarr will definitely push to have Scagga (should he be elected) raise FW as a major topic in the CSM. I will personally do my best to have the DT plex shuffle at the top of the list - mechanics are more important than fluff like rewards in my world (GPS, Aircondition, leather seats etc. are after all useless if a car won't start)

my opinion is this:
i think that the broken mechanic is, itself, a long-term attempt to save FW. consider the eve story line and character base. the game started with the four equal factions, and now that they are at war, it would be hard to carry the four factions if one got virtually depleted. yeah, new players would want to try out all factions; but economically speaking, there is only so much the NPC corps can do to promote it's faction. the solution is to force the war into stalemate until the storyline is changed. without the broken mechanic, the more populated faction would easily overpower. it's all a matter of balance. nonetheless, it still has a massive demoralizing effect to FW. all in all, FW must be resolved, either by the relinquishing of a handicap or a new goal to be set amongst the factions. |

Most new players in eve are told to try fw to get into pvp. Youd think ccp would spend more time on keeping those players in eve paying subs, with making much more out of fw then it is currently, it definately has the potential. - Rage is Recruiting

Since I like to play advocate to the devil every now and again: now for the opinion of someone who isn't obviously backing the Tribal Liberation Force.
Originally by: Jodie Amille Edited by: Jodie Amille on 17/11/2008 20:46:46 LOL @ minnies crying sadly because they can't blob us all day long and might actually have to fight outnumbered sometimes. Seriously guys, cri moar.
EDIT: To put it a different way: In other words, it's not fair that the plexes spawn when we actually have a chance to capture plexes, but having them spawn during the other 18 hours that *you* outnumber *us* is a-ok.
Found here and though I don't agree with how the argument is presented, I do think they make a decent point. Maybe the TLF players should be focused on getting more post DT Ops rolling out until something (if anything) is actually done about it.

I agree its a awful mechanism, but it seems weird to me that you are suggesting that gives certain (in-game) races an advantage.
Is there some significant mapping between Amarr, etc and time-zones? If so, why?

Well if I recall correctly some people were suggesting that in future 0.0 Sov warfare should replicate FW mechanics. I certainly hope that that isn't the case after reading about these problems! |

It's an interesting point Dym Wastrell but I reckon the crusaders must just have more dedicated people with more flexible working hours.
FOOM were able to take a whole constellation because they were organised and dedicated, despite not being able to plex much post DT.
If POS always came out of reinforced just after DT, then I think that a lot more people would understand just how frustrating this is for those of us who don't have that sort of flexibility. --------------------------------------- Outface the depths of evil with clarity --------------------------------------- |
