work on Faction Warfare

Quote:One of the main goals of the expansion is to enhance the smaller skirmishes in EVE, and make them a larger part of the game as opposed to the epic and massive wars the game has become known for. The team wants to incentivize skirmishes and give a role to the other lesser-used ships and give smaller groups of players more ways to feel important in the game. The first step will be to look at the gameGÇÖs current caps, and theyGÇÖre definitely going to be buffing Dreads, while nerfing the Super Carriers a bit. TheyGÇÖre going to also take long hard looks at frigates, cruisers, and other smaller ships to give them a more effective role in the overall scheme of things
I mean - that HAS to be about FW right- as opposed to tinkering with 0.0 again??? 
BTW - this quote jumped out at me
Quote:The Incarna process is really just a side-game
Bet CCP likes reading this!!!
It also seems like the article writer doesn't understand what time dilation is for - they think it is to slow the game down to make it more tactical. As opposed to effectively speeding it up by slowing it down

CCP want to improve 0.0 skirmishing because they think that it will remove the need to fix FW.

Read it again.
Nowhere at all in the interview do they discuss 0.0 Sov changes. FW doesnt even get a mention. Everything is about SHIP BALANCING. Which they hope will fix the problems with small scale combat in Eve, and more Incarna baubles.
If that improves FW for you, great. But don't expect FW bug fixes based on that interview. |

I think you TOTALLY missed the point of this thread... Try reading it with an understanding of the amount of attention that FW has received from CCP and therefore what is really being said. I'll give you a clue - there is some sarcasm in there!!!

The sad thing is there is only 1 guy working on ship balancing, the last I heared in his thread they had covered the dramiel and the Oneiros.
I hope they are making headway in all the other ones.

Isn't it something he is doing in his spare time because he said he was interested in doing it to Soundwave???

Yeah, see the problem with 1 person doing all the balancing is that balance is merely shifted elsewhere and not at all equal.

I'm not so sure they should all be equal, that would provide for a less realistic experiance in my oppinion. It makes perfect sense that some ships in the same class are considered useless compared to others of different races. Probably encourages a lot of people to do more research and learn more about the game, although at the expense of a few players who dont have the time to invest to know the game properly :/

Wow I felt a bit of hope after reading the MMO article, expect about time dilation, I'd thought that sort of use for it would worry many.
Not going to hold my breath on account of the article, but if it does unfold like that, awesome  |

The updated shipskins (maller/scorpion) where done in some guys free time. I think you are refering to that?
Incidently that guy also did a raven apparently but it wasn't deemed good enough, looking at the raven now that's hardly possible but there it is, harsh quality control in CCP.

Harsh quality control? There's a first time for everything I suppose.

Anything would be an upgrade compared to the current ship model for the Raven that we have. |

No - fairly sure I saw an interview (video blog???) that Soundwave did that mentioned one of his team was interested in the task. I can't remember if it was a case of a BFF team member wanting to do it so they didn't need to find someone else, or just a CCP employee wanted to do it, so they didn't need to engage a 3rd party.

Factional Warfare will be removed. This is the fix.
If you're lucky, they're replacing it with a modification of the incursion mechanics with the possibility to succeed with a incursion and the success changing sov. No more missions, it's all sites with automatic LP distribution and the need of player participation to kill off or defend the capital spawns.

Well it's still better than the zero people working on it they had before. More than 1000 times the previous staff even.

Technically it is infinitely more times...
