Originally by: CCP Manifest Hola again.
I had a brief chat with CCP Zulu and brought this thread to his attention as well as the /facepalm re: Fanfest panel.
Having been an active member of the Minnie militia, a lot of things in this thread rang true with me as well. I got into it as an intro to PvP. After my workload spiked, I dropped out, but recently I ducked back into Ama/Auga/Kourm+ to get some pew pew on and the dynamic of fleets etc has changed...the same spirit just didn't seem to be there. I don't know if that's an FC thing or what, but it still seemed weird. That having been said, like every feature, it was about what I made of it. I ended up hunting down a destroyer filled with Amarr scum and got my first solo kill :) Of course, that's not to downplay or dismiss the very real concerns here, just to put in my perspective.
That aside, Zulu agreed that there needs to be more dialogue from CCP about Factional Warfare--where we've been, where we are and where we are headed. Part of the dev team is going to sit down and hammer that out in some sort of meaningful format and we'll get that to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for pushing this and making some internal discussions on FW happen! I love you man!

FW mIssions are ok, It's nice that unlike Level 4's in high-sec they force you to travel around, and it's good that they encourage people to PVP, though, most people use bombers which means you can pretty much avoid PVP if you so wish. There has been talk about LP for kills which is kinda nice idea, but obviously it's open to being exploited. But that kind of system would just drive people off to do their own things I think it might be better to offer rewards and a reason for people to actually get together and PVP for an objective. I do like the idea of making isk part of a group mechanic, a little like incursions, where you have to bring a smaller fleet to take on the mission rats, but that you can also get jumped by the Faction fleets. Also maybe have a system where the longer you hold a system for then there is a small % reduction on the cost of equipment in the LP store or something. And personally, I'd like to feel more like I am actually fighting for my Faction, that they, as an empire, are invested in the objectives of FW. I want to feel immersed in that part of the lore, as much as I want to be encouraged and rewarded for fighting and making gains for that faction.

I think there are certainly some things which could come from 'Incursions'. Even if enemy Faction Navy NPC's did mini-incursions into enemy territory which effected the system and encouraged you to kill them for LP's and as a flash point for PVP. But whatever happens Faction Warfare should rewards PVP and not be something you join to farm LP's.

Originally by: Arrinlay CSM Investigating Faction Warfare
Please visit my topic and support it or provide simple feedback on getting CSM on this. The idea is to take FW and improve it to that it both benefits the NPE (because FW is the first thing new pilots are directed to after completion of career agents relative to PvP!) as well as introduce mechanics that veterans will enjoy.
Thanks for posting this.

Originally by: Super Chair In the meantime I suppose we can get everyone we know to vote for FW stuff for the crowdsourcing (and maybe outpost destruction and ship balances :D )
Yes I actually spent sometime trying to count how many FW votes had be cast so far. The problem is that there is a lot of FW stuff in the list everyone should look to vote for the same one or all of them so we can get the most points behind them. I voted for 41 as it seemed like the best option to cover FW as a whole, 44 is good too. So go with 41 or 44 or both I'd say.

Originally by: Hirana Yoshida The first 6-12 months were pure awesome. It was brand new (thus exciting) and CCP had people working on tweaks, events and bug-squashing. Then the Next Big ThingÖ came along and all resources were diverted elsewhere, went so far as to make bug-squashing part of 'normal' rotation ..
FW is a great concept but with lousy implementation .. like a steam engine made of tin, biggest damn thing ever made but falls apart when actually put to use 
Pretty much this I'd say. If your going to build a system where you wont be doing anything with it for a long time it has to be totally robust from the outset. Like 0.0, FW needs a rethink with some serious and comprehensive changes to many of its core features. FW + Low Sec need an expansion to themselves. I think the devs know this, but due to their current time table can't fit it in, so they don't talk about it at all. I can understand that FW and Low Sec are some of the least used parts of the game by players thus don't get much of a look in. However maybe it's indicative of the problem. No one is using it because it needs to be addressed by the devs to make it more attractive. It's ok that CCP can't address this right now, what is not ok is not being able to fix it and not talking about it with players, even if there was one bloody game designer assigned to talking to it's users and hashing out ideas so when CCP comes to finally do something about it much of the leg work is already done. |
