Well I was actually trying to empathise with you but seeing as you are being a prick then get screwed

Keep crying and sounding like a baby all you want. o7

Again, shut up. Don't need you to empathize with me, you're an alt claiming old player with terrible pvp stats who flies in t1 frigs, how could you possibly empathize?

I'll do you a favor, I'll have sympathy for you since you're a brown nosing ignoramus.

LOL

And you are who exactly again?

LOL

And you are who exactly again?

Are you upsetting the spazzos again Tao????

http://www.twitch.tv/ccp/c/2203972 here is the link its either in the bit that he shows a graph of what didnt get in or in the QA at the end.

In the link you posted he doesnt speak specifically on fw notifications but all notifications saying they needed sprucing up he even gos as far as saying it runs independant of FW..
.

Also yes there proud of retribution esp 1.1 when they removed tier spikes and stuff its all over most of the dev vids from fanfest....

Humm is that irony from cosmo his corps no more tears but this threads filled with his tears

LOL

And you are who exactly again?

After reading everything, im thinking - who cares at this point?

If FW stays exactly the way it is right now - who cares? Its a means to find PvP and have a constant enemy to war with.

Enaluri goes to Caldari, then gets taken back by Gallente. Immuri gets taken by Min then goes back to Amarr.

It truly doesnt matter if you step back and put FW in perspective.

Its a good place to find regular fights and have fun. Let the farmers farm. Someone warps out on you, go to the next plex or system and find someone else to engage. Trust me there are plenty of people to fight.

And if you really cant stomach how the FW game is, move on to something else.

The random rvb style pvp is really great in faction war. I do agree. The increase in great plex fights is very welcome.

But this random rvb style pvp with no back story and no overarching goals can get stale.

The reason I care is because fw is so close. The developers even planned on doing the things that would make fw great (intel tools and rollbacks) but they stopped just a few inches from the finish line, and left it a system where pve decides sov in 90% of systems.

Having a system where people are actually "fighting" for sov throughout the warzone, instead of carebearing for sov, would be so much better.

I don't entirely blame ccp. It seems our own csm rep put more emphasis on how and when lp was paid out than making sov warfare a pvp mechanic. And to a large extent he was listening to the new carebear minded players who instantly became attracted to the new lp fountain - called fw.

But whatever. The bottom line is this:

Is Sov in over 90% of systems supposed to be determined by carebears?

If it is then yes fw is working as intended.

If not then hopefully ccp will do the things that they initially intended to do and left off of retribution. Namely better intel tools about plexes being taken and timer rollbacks.

But this rvb style pvp with no back story and no overarching goals can get stale. With no connection to sov its just too random. And even now you can hit dry spells where you spend an hour warping around with little action.

Only you can set overarching goals in Eve. It's a sandbox, afterall.

And don't give me this "other parts of eve have overarching goals" BS. If you don't think FW has an overarching goal, then you must think there is no overarching goal in Eve.

Sov is part the environment in FW so by definition sov is a pvE game and necessarily so. people know where farmers are but dont go there because there is no fight to be had. For the last time, notifications will never change that. Finding farmers is not the problem with farming. The notifications at best will provide is a tool for farmers to effiiently steal LP from each other (and pvp'ers)

The overarching goal in faction war is to win sov for your militia.

So you are saying FW has overarching goals, but in the previous post you said it didn't? Please clarify.

In essence he was saying pretend it doesn't exist and just enjoy the random pvp we are getting.

Which should be easy for you your not in fw so it not a problem that really exist for you. unless im missing something here?

And i agree just enjoy the pvp like everyone else because all said and done a better sov mechanic would be nice if it forced fights but enjoy the ones you are getting in abundance atm

That is the goal but I was responding to Maximus who was saying "who cares" about it. In essence he was saying pretend it doesn't exist and just enjoy the random pvp we are getting.

Ah this argument again. No the notifications would help people remove those who ***** others lp. Because if someone is a confirmed thief the main alliances could list them as people everyone should ***** lp from, and the notifications would help them ***** the lp from them.

Bottom line is better intel tools means more of the war is in the players control.

His choice. Yours too.

huh did u even watch it at all?


Your whiney posts even went from CCP wants to do this to they planned to but didnt :( sad panda

No they didnt as i said watch retribution round up of this years fanfest the dev says they had a notification system ready but yanked it cos its not in the essence of the sandbox..

Its a pretty easy to choice to make when the overarching goal of gaining sov is a broken carebear race.

Would you like to rephrase that sentence?

I guess the question is "What ideas?" CCP has a good list to work with already.

"the dev says they had a notification system ready but yanked it cos its not in the essence of the sandbox.."
Did you look at the link Alucard provided? Did the dev say this? If so where?
