So could you elaborate what changes to FW and "grief" other dudes you are implementing? Because it if is what the "I am unbiased dev but I play for gallente side" guy was spouting in fanfest video, then we can all just pack our s..t up and head back to high-sec with the lockable assets and other bullcrap which rewards currently dominating factions and does nothing to help the other side bounce back.
Because the FW changes outlined in fanfest were some of the most ******** ideas tossed around which most sides seem to reject and based on dev's performance, he had no clue on how they are going to do it or how it will effect the long term health of FW.
And Hans keeps saying he has your ear regarding FW development  |

Leaving only the most devout to fight for their respective sides. A fight that without others to support is a losing fight.
This at least comfirms me to remove myself from FW the moment these changes go live. Alliances allowed meant Matar got hundreds of more people to their side against already outnumbered Amarr. And only be clever tactics have Caldari been able to fight against Gallente blob (Even so, prime time saturday there is nothing to do but stay docked more or less).
Now there is nothing left. Sides with currently biggest blob win and there will be no pendelum swinging back since profit > boredom everytime in Eve so Gallente & Matar will happily grind away isk for themselves. Big pvp corps in militias will simply drop out from militia and go pirate rather than face the risk of losing station access when people flip systems while their members are sleeping or working.
Oh and Soundwave says people join losing side to farm datacores? How does giving farmers more options translate as "people willing to join pvp gangs".

Capitol One wrote:Echoing Oppons above, will the time/amount of plexes needed to capture a system be changed at all?
Or can I expect to wake up to a station locked because we don't have complete domination of all timezones?
Perhaps there will be rf timers for control bunkers. Which of course simply translates again to "biggest blob wins", which of course means in caldari front that for such momentous occasions Gallentes will always have superior numbers than Caldari. This is a simple mathematical fact and no matter how much they spout on forums "grow some balls and work together", it wont change.
Best of times we can muster 30 guys and gallentes can always reliably call on matar allies too to get 100 man fleet going. And with changes further encouraging people to join winning side, it will simply make it more and more lopsided.
So like the fanfest presentation dev wanted, FW is over. Everybody go home. |

That said I can see many friends will soon no longer call themselfs an FW pilot because their are otherways of making isk and being a pirate gives you more targets anyway and no locking out. Sorry but your Idea of Datecore Farming was always going to be ********. not a good reward at all.[/i]
CCP is the crew of the "Galaxy quest" and FW players are the poor "crewmen number 6" who asks "Didn't you guys ever watch the show" as they step into the unknown enviroment which so far exists purely on paper for them...

Like they got it right when we demonstrated the gallente and CSM-approved standings bug (Which caused you to make an internal memo about me & Bad Messenger to k.com) ?
Giving CCP's track record of absolute fail regarding FW and biased dev (can someone honestly say the FW talker was NOT biased?), it's going to be completely botched and left in place for couple of years. 0.0 lite, biggest blob wins and alarm clock ops.
Hans is not in enviable position here because of all his assurances he will make sure CCP gets it right and everyone can now see it is not going his way and naturally we crucify him over it while it's not really his fault. But CCP needs a scapegoat. |

Remind me again who you are? Right now your spouting reminds me of the OLD fanfest FW video which was full of idiots like Chatgris talking about FW plexing/Occupancy without ever actually participated in it (at least before CCP gave them their wish regarding plex spawns and npc nerf).

Oppon's Pull wrote:Loving the extended respawn timers on the FW plexs - not so short as to be flipped during a TZ's downtime but not long enough to make flipping a system unfeasable. Thank you for listening to our complaints!
Unfortunately when everyone knowing when the patch is coming, outnumbered sides (= Amarr & Caldari) will lose all their FW agent stations day before expansion is applied when system can be taken in couple of hours since the opposing side has enough time to make sure people ditch their rl plans, CTA whole militia and everyone makes sure they are willing to be available for plexing for 7-8h needed for the operation.
Other side can make defense plans but with outnumbered being the issue what it is, ultimately there is little to do than except perhaps delay system flipping by 1-2 hour in each case with pointless suicide runs. Past examples of this are plenty with CCP playing favourites, "Dominion debacle" being the best one.
And after expansion? There is no way outnumbered militia can ever regain those systems because the blob will always be there and it will always have time to form.
And someone still wears rose coloured glasses and says "things will turn out well for all militias".

MotherMoon wrote:I've been Roleplaying Factional warfare for the past 7 years son. Fanfest panel was full of support, we've been waiting for changes to FW that would make real benefits for owning space.
Fanfest panel? And how many FW players were there? Sorry, this **** ain't flying kiddo. I can remember only one FW regular post on forums which gives unconditional support for system lockdown. Unsurprisingly the player was member of "Blobs of the federation"
Also, quite impressive to have been roleplaying factional warfare for 7 years. I was not aware it had been in eve for that long...

Jade Constantine wrote:"oh noes my militia is losing its not fair."
I guess the answer is stop posting on this thread and go play the game harder and try to recruit some more people so you stop losing.
I sort of expected that to be your answer, since you have always been a shortsighted idiot like calling caldari exploiters for demonstrating standings bug when it was gallente players, led by gallente representing CSM member using the bug. We just decided to call out their bulls..t and suddenly it was "Caldari exploiters!"
Also, I find it hilarious that everyone saying "Losing docking rights is awesome" are from militias (= Gallente/Minmatar) which currently has hundreds of more active pvp'ers to call out than opposition.
