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. |

There is definitely a trype of player that fits well in low sec and fw. They are more casual players who like small gang pvp. We like the fact that eve is hardcore and you really lose things in the game but the idea of alarm clock ops or quitting my day job to play a computer game is not realistic.
CCP has ignored this group of players and i suspect they are leaving. But the thing is if they really made fw plexing deliver the awesome solo/small gang pvp it was meant to, they would see their numbers doubling in 3 years.
CCP lots of people would like fast paced pvp against other players (not just red xs). But the current mechanics make it so you either spend hours waiting for gangs to form and blob others(not somethign casual players can really do) or you run missions. All of this can be very boring stuff.
Give players who like solo/small gang pvp a single small bone - a single mechanic that caters to them - in new eden and your subscriptions will grow fast. -Cearain

FW is ok imo. I get plenty of pvp. The only thing is you have to adapt to your enemies. Later today i will be renaming my ship 'gallente control bunker' and remaining completely still.
Hopefully the caldari will think me a stationary npc target and actually engage instead of getting out of their ships and podding back to enaluri :p
In all seriousness though, within the boundaries of the game mechanics there is tons of pvp in FW, though there is a 'right time right place' element to it.

There is more than decent small scale pvp in fw than anywhere else in eve. But I wouldn't say there is tons of it. You can probably get one decent (not just a gank) fight every 2 hours.
IMO FW mechanics should yield 2-4 good small scale fights per hour. CCP should at least strive for that instead of thinking everyone has all day to wait for a fight. -Cearain

Originally by: John Cleese It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.
Having been in FW and only FW since deciding to give up the lifestyle of a high-sec mission running carebear, I can honestly say that I have accepted FW as what it is.
FW is a place where you can make 100 mil isk an hour under the constant threat of getting ganked (which is kinda fun.)
You can also find fights quickly and easily (though a majority of the time, they are fights where the odds are not in your favor.)
Everything else about FW is unfinished and broken. And, I think it would just make a lot of people rest easy if CCP would state that their focus has shifted and they will most likely not be returning to FW. Then we could carry on without threat of having our hopes inevitably dashed against the jagged rocks of "this new thing is more important."

What needs fixing is...
- using alts to avoid faction losses to apposing empires - using alts of apposing factions to run missions knowing that when they attack the "alt" they loose standing ( ir amarr alt in npc corp gets shot at by amarr fw pilots the amarr pilots loose standings. ) - Amarr npcs need to do whatthey know best. Neuting at 40+ km. - ships with covert ops cloaking devices cannot enter fw acelleration gates, this should stem the tide of stealth bombers online.
thats about alli have to add.

Originally by: Major Atrocity ...
- If you see someone using a non-militia alt to run missions petition him. They can be used to tank missions but not complete them (as per last round of petitions). - Balancing NPC's so everyone faces the same challenge is enough, slapping more (yes, more they already have some) neuts on Amarr's doesn't do anything as an AB uses negligible cap. - Just make cloaking impossible in DED space, primary value of cloakies would then be slightly safer transit. Probably interferes with crap in null though and they are very fond of their gimmicky grief mechanics so won't happen.
Also, BUMP!

Stemming the tide of people running missions will not really fix what needs fixing. If people want to farm isk they will do it else where and leave low sec a bit more empty.
CCP needs to make plexing fun. That means making it pvp not pve. Let militia players know when plexes are entered!
Here is a proposal that will do just that:

we want what you promised
FW is alive and well, treat it as such
I have been having a f*cking blast in eve, but i must admit this dismissal is annoying
*Edit: I know what we need to do here. Make this thread about ponies. Where is the ponies crew? FW ponies maybe? I would rather see this thread locked for being off topic than to see it constantly ignored -------------------------------------------------

Not iterating on FW is the most disappointing of all abandonned features. Even worm-holes, while having potential for more game play, are more ok, since the features they provide do not cry for iteration and balancing as much.
So, iterating on FW I would like to see. Though I do not find the crowd sourcing results very much in favour of FW... |

FW doesn't need iteration, it needs a complete overhaul. Since team BFF seems to be the only flexible crew they have, with the rest following whatever release schedule there is, is it any wonder that people have given up on getting through?
Blueballed at Fanfest -> promised blog/statement as consolation -> blueballed on consolation prize ... That is the problem we have, hard as hell getting people riled up if one never gets any feedback

Maybe we need to get the various Militia's to sit in their respective high sec trade hub (Jita, Amarr etc...) and shoot statues etc... in protest to make CCP listen???
I tried a CCP Soundwave callout thread as well to try and boost the visability since he was the 3rd reply to the 0.0 call out one... http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1560214 No CCP response yet - though some continued support...

With "feature abadonment" a topic in the csm minutes I'm fairly certain ccp will just ignore us instead of outright say that they won't be doing any more development for FW so we stay subscribed and continue being milked...

Well, that is one option. Stop FW being a sink and turn the faucet on as far as it will go... Though they will probably just decide to fix the issue by nerfing the missions knowing CCP

Here is a thread where I try to list the various ideas that have been brought up regarding fw: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1564233&page=1#1
I think going through that list would make for a decent roundtable discussion. -Cearain
