When I lived in Black Rise almost 5 years ago, there was little to no activity at all. Just the typical losec pirate gate campers living in Kinakka, Quiet.Storm, and BOLEG. It was pretty nearly deserted.

FW was nothing more than an aborted wet dream and uniterated "content".

The current state of affairs in Black Rise and adjacent Gallente losec is so far beyond what it used to be, CCP really should be very proud and hold the current state of FW up as a shining example of what they can do when they actually iterate on content.

Well done.

After TEST announced the move to TAMA all hell broke lose, especially in Heydieles and OMS before you moved and the whole time you were staged out of TAMA the GalCal FW area was ablaze.

When you guys more or less moved out again it went a little bit quieter for a few weeks (since Christmas last year it was a bit quieter), but great to see it ablaze again.

Yeah lots of PVP. But if anyone bother to dig deeper at the loss mails, many of them are triple-stabbed t1 frigs with no gun. Fitting 'pvp'' ships in these regions to catch farmers mean fitting two scrams or arty fit with sebos.

8+ hours of click F1 every hour or so TIDI bullshit.

And yet all the attention is still focused on nullsec sov blocs. FW provides more kills, yet the news still focuses on the cap/supercap/titan kills. I can understand why, but out of the 2; which is bringing more content? In my view it should be the one providing the more enjoyable fights, and not the 8+ hours of click F1 every hour or so TIDI bullshit.

I think CCP look after who ever buys the most plex packs tbh.

Alliance/New Eden Open tourney is a great example of the same issue.
Are the tourney competitors the best pvpers in new eden each year? Not even close.
Are they the richest who can dump/waste money on plex?? Hell yes.

Another shining example is the 'lets make monuments for null battles within a few days but fw might get a tweak to a single parameter in the code in 2 years' crap that goes on.

Low sec people generally dont spend $3k of our hard earned cash on plex so we can buy a titan and pilot.
Nullbears will do that and CCP know it.

That said:
I am reasonably happy with where FW is atm.
The only real thing that needs changing is cloaks and stabs should offline in FW plexes cause 'interference from blah blah is causing blah blah not to function you stabbed cloaky ******** biatch'.
(They already do it for fw wts in opposing high sec so its no biggie for CCP to fix plexing)

Timer Rollbacks (at 5x speed) would be better imo.

Unfortunately, farmers can just as easily farm & run in an empty hull. But with timer rollbacks, a 'patrolling' PVP-er will totally ruin their cowardly & greedy endeavours.

With timer rollbacks, I would expect lp-farming to grind to a halt in every 'busy' system.

timer rollback would be just way to deny system capturing without using much time by defender.

Idea of system capturing is that who spends most time in plexes should win, clear and simple, no matter if ship is empty player still uses time in there.

A few missions a week and the standing hits from killing them are 'fixed'.

The missions stop giving you faction (not corp) standing after the first time you rank up.

Yeah I noticed that, it doesnt seem to drop too much (as long as I dont pod)- For now my Caldari standing is still very high.
Eventually it could become an issue.

If I was sensible I would just train a blank account slot for a few weeks to do it. The corp can buffer a -10 to Caldari toon standings wise - then it wont matter too much if I get carried away and pod them.

My preferred solution is just parallel timers: both sides have an X minute timer to complete, first one across the finish line wins. You're not penalized either way, attacking or defending.

All that love FW should form a kind of inofficial ally. All four militas.

Get all FW systems to vul and leave them there - no one of us needs plex lps.

Forbid all corps outrside the "ally" to flip ihubs - at the threat of a war dec.

Kill all fleets that try to bash an ihub.

War dec all farmer corps if possible - many are in npc corps oc. Scram/web farmers in our own mili and call in WT for clean-up kills.

Destroy all pie gangs that show up. Blue other milies for that.

Destroy all null bear gangs that show up. Blue other milies for that.

Destroy all pos`s and custom offiicies that are not run by FW corps. Moon are ****** enough - burn them all.

Fight your milita enemies as hard as you can - but also work together to make FW even better.

Null bears should be contained to their ****** space and rot there - having all the fun and greatness of being F1 drones.

Hunt down all kill all wh bears that have to move through our space.

We are about 2000-2500 (all four militas) pilots in FW - all should petition CCP about known issues in FW - like stabs in plexes . . . keep spamming petitions until CCP gets moving.

Make a standard petition about stuff we hate and spam in every day.

As of this moment (not a weekend), there were:
8 systems with more than 200 kills in the last 24 hours.
19 systems with more than 100 kills, and
44 systems with more than 50 kills.

This is a ridiculous amount of pvp. Much of it has to do with Brave Newbies, Eve Uni moving into Southern Placid, Snigwaffe moving back to Kinakka, (We Fight in Ouelletta, Stay Frosty. at 180+ members in VV) and many more corps filling up our area of low sec. As a long time veteran who joined when the only two active systems on the map were OMS and Tama, this amount of pew is quite remarkable.

+1 to all you bloodthirsty pilots out there.
