You lost me am afraid. You seriously suggesting that anyone with a passion for FW (ie. the ones who will listen to the recording) would rather be entertained than hear constructive/lively discussion of the topic?
I'm afraid it would end up too focused on plexing. I don't live in wormholes and don't intend to in the near future - yet I listened to the WH podcasts and liked the different angles the podcast portrayed, because it was interesting for a broader audience (like me). Whilst occupancy and plexing are the most broken mechanics in FW, you'll have to admit these facts are so widely known, players still doing them are a very small minority, so having people doing different things in FW (hell - even LP-*****s) would provide for a more interesting discussion than having 4 guys talking about a broken mechanic they still engage in.
From my perspective, a discussion about rat imbalance, speed tanking, dramiels, friendly militia plexing, cloaked plexing, plex spawns etc... would be rather uninteresting. During my time, I would probably have dealt with all that if plexing had given my militia any tactical advantage. It doesn't and therefore, any further discussion on the underlying mechanics is somewhat moot at this stage.
At least CCP should make militia stations flip with occupancy and implement according docking rights - unless the utter irrelevance of occupancy is fixed, any further discussion would be like talking about fixing a wobbly door knob in cabin 1538 on the wreck of the titanic.

Whoa! What? All the RP'ers (on all the sides) are leading by example, none have ever claimed anything of the sort. That people choose to heed our calls and advice can hardly be interpreted as us claiming to represent anything other than know-how.
Now that you say it, I must apologize - I have never read a statement claiming this, yet they are hardly representative of the FW playerbase.

On the plexing part most of the die-hards are pretty much agreed on what is wrong and what could/should be done so it's a five minute debate at best. The biggest time-sink will be the question: "effect of occupancy", everyone and their dog have an opinion on this and they range from null like sovereignty to mission LP increases .. If you have surplus sanity, read the frequent FW threads which all end up arguing about what MeMeMEMEME should get out of occupancy/plexing/Pew.
Originally by: Name Family Name Now that you say it, I must apologize - I have never read a statement claiming this, yet they are hardly representative of the FW playerbase.
I'd say the opposite (SURPRISE! ) as RP'ers make it a point to dabble in all areas available .. kind of necessary if one wants to make informed posts on IGS that are not shot down by the first guy with half a brain. Either way, if an RP'er is invited the main concern of that person should be the RP part of FW and not much else .. anyone may have knowledge of all other aspects but no one but us have knowledge of (read: interest in) the RP aspect .. that's how I see it anyway.

Name Family Name,
I do agree with pretty much everything you said. They shouldn't really try to cover the issues with plexing and how FW currently works in the same podcast.
However, I think that occupancy plexing should really be the back bone of FW. Otherwise its just a large war dec and a new form of missions.
I and many others believe that fixing FW plexing could provide something that eve sorely lacks. A whole new method of warfare that focuses on small gang pvp.
I enter plexes almost every time I pvp. I just move away from the rats so they don't kill my tank and wait for other players to come in. Some of the best fights I ever had were in or right outside often both.
I think people discuss occupancy plexing so much because its easy to see how great it could be for eve. It definitely deserves its own podcast where the pros and cons can be considered for the players.
Hirana Yoshida, There are considerable disagreements in how the plexing mechanic should change. Some want npcs to play a larger role (e.g. be tougher and require plexers to blow them all up) and others want plexing to involve less pve (no npcs at all and let militias know when a plex is entered so they can defend them player versus player.) Should the war front be spread out or more narrow? (If they are spread out you may be able to do them solo. Some want this. Others donĘt. If they are close it may lead to blobs. Some want this. Some donĘt.)
If you look at the list of proposals you will find only a few that everyone agrees on. E.g., everyone agrees plexes shouldnĘt mainly spawn at noon in London, and that if there are going to be npcs they should attack the enemy. But these changes alone wonĘt really make plexing worthwhile.

Damar you are a delusional exploiting troll. No QCAT has ever threatened you in IRL. It's a game friend, lighten up and try having fun.
And for you to label anyone an exploiter is ironic and quite silly. Grow up, exploit less and maybe you won't be so bitter.

CCP is actively looking and monitoring people when it comes to exploit. If Damar was exploiting a game mechanic, CCP would know and he would be banned. CCP is very clear on this subject. From my understanding, he and all others are just using the game mechanics to their advantage. I could take the neutral repping in high-sec for example. Some say its exploiting but it is not. It only ****es lots of people off just like this one here.
So please, stop your accusation unless you got hard evidence if someone (ie: Damar) is using exploit and just report the damn thing to CCP FFS. This stupid exploit discusion as been going on for years and still is today...this is childish. --------------------------------------------------

Damar is about as hipocritical (and unstable) as they come...
Couple of past Damar comments:
"Also, we use alts simply because expendable and untrained alts bring us billions of isk. There is a method to this "madness" and it's well thought out."

If you filter out Damar and a few ex pervs, you've actually got yourself a pretty good discussion. Most of the active cal/gal pvpers are pretty friendly (at least they were when I was playing 2 months ago).

Where I admit it? I say two things there.
A) PERVS used expendable alts in tier 1 frigates to defend systems and recycled them for COSMOS goodies (before FW mission boost made the isk gained from this non-competive). Not an exploit and standard tactic these days among plexers and main reason fights over plexes now happen only once in a blue moon. (Val has two alts plus at least one more on his main account, Minmatar militia has ton of Vigil flying alts, etc.)
B) That I dont mind people using exploits to make isk. More power to them if they dont get caught since ISK is plenty easy to come by with legit means too.

Sounds like you girls are a bit confused as to what an exploit is. There are no exploits, because there are no bugs to exploit .. CCP has said as much in the <insert stupidly high figure> petitions.
FW is working as intended. <-- That is what you should be moaning about.
The complaint for me is that CCP sold us a product of such inferior quality that it contains flaws and loopholes so grievous that some people (myself included) consider using them exploitive even though they merely represent "standard" mechanics.

^^ That Exploits are monitored by CCP. If Damar was exploiting something in the game CCP would know by now. This guy is so visible that the entire CCP Office knows about him lol. Exploits don't last forever and long in Eve-online by the way. CCP knows how to detect them in case you guys don't know.
personally I don't believe Damar is exploiting anything...simply because he's still here and playing.
so...
Ender Black, lots of people will say bad things about Damar but as you noticed yourself without no hard evidence. it's all he said she said kind of supposedly proof. So my point in this is when someone says something not related to your initial discussion, just use the report button and ignore it afterwards. The mods in this forum will just erase what they said. --------------------------------------------------

Thread has devolved into plexing mechanic discussion - again - even though the most people who have participated in FW from the beginning hardly ever plexed.
Keep those guys in this thread who walked down that path off the discussion panel! (including me :D )

While I agree FW is 2 worlds(at least). There are those who just accept a large wardec and there are those who actually try (tried) to engage the actual fw mechanics. The way this conversation went proves that many (including myself) view occupancy plexing as important, if not the foundation of fw.
And Hirana's post demonstrates it is horribly in need of fixing. When Players themselves are policing game mechanics that are so stupid everyone except ccp thinks they are exploitive (if not technically exploits) the game designers should get a clue.
But even before these new ways of exploiting occupancy plexing were used systematically, occuppancy plexing still had problems. Mainly it had very little to do with the players warring against players. It was always mainly players warring against npcs/red crosses.
This is why I think 2 podcasts would be best. 1 would give the basics, and how fw can be an enjoyable part of the game as is. The second would be a disscussion of how the foundational mechanic of occupancy plexing can be fixed.

ender, in case you haven't noticed, there are a few people in FW that are very very active on the forums.
My advice to you is to go down the respective areas of FW space in a small ship and ask around. There are a lot of people on here that have not been mentioned really, though some of the people that have been mentioned are a valuable source. Ask around and check out various corps diplo's

It is true that FW is PvP, plexes, and missions (with PvP being the most important aspect IMO) but if plexes are so important, why not make them worth something (like isk or direct LP gain) to display the importance?

I think that is a great question. Adding to the reward of doing plexes is something that has been proposed and is definitely worth discussing. But I think there is much more to it.
I think ccp didn't make them worth that much at first because they viewed plexing as sort of the meta goal - it was an end in itself. Most players seemed to agree - at first. You join fw in order to gain territory for your faction.
So you get isk so you can fight. You fight in order to get territory for your faction. You get territory for your faction because that was intended as one of many ultimate goals in this sandbox. If you win all the territory for your faction that was a worthy accomplishment!
Why did this goal fail to motivate people? Well it did motivate people at first. Even though there was no reward to getting the occupancy (it was an end in itself).
I would argue that people stopped not so much because they didn't get enough isk from the activity but instead because the activity itself was viewed as having little merit.
People saw that this occupancy plexing was optimally done by doing pve and avoiding fights. Ank would post about how she did like 100 plexes without a single pvp kill!
Well people in new eden do not value good pve skills. Hence gaining territory was no longer was viewed as an accomplishment to be proud of. That is why we have a pvp alliance tournament instead of one to see who can speed tank the most red crosses.
I would say that people would still participate in the alliance tournament even if ccp did not pay out large prizes. (assuming the cost of entry was also removed - but not the cost of ships lost.) Why? Because winning the alliance tournament is seen as a worthy accomplishment.
Now I am fairly sure that CCP can make occupancy plexing into something that people feel has merit. How? Make it involve allot of small scale pvp that is rich in tactics and dependent on the skill and intelligence of the pilots involved.
If they do this I am sure people will start to do it again. And people will find another worthy goal to achieve in this sandbox.
