2. If a FW pilot is in the plex, the timer should be counting as normal. No FW pilot in the plex? Decay to neutral. No FW pilot in the plex for X minutes and timer is neutral? Decay to zero. FW pilot enters the plex and timer has decayed from neutral? Reset to neutral, count it up as normal. No FW pilot in the plex and timer decayed to zero due to inactivity? Despawn the plex, no LP awarded, no change to system contested percentage.
No more half finished plexes sitting around, no more disparity of effort.
#1 I like, #2 not so much.
The decay to neutral option could be abused. For instance, 6 people are sitting in a Medium plex in frigates, 5 WTs show up on short scan in Caracals. You know you can't take the fight so you run as soon as they warp in. They warp in find that you have left and then warp out of the plex and it resets to neutral. So now they only have to run it for 15 minutes instead of the 15 minutes + the time you had run it down. So now the 6 guys in frigates have less time to reship and go back to retake the plex. 15 minutes should be enough time, but we all know that not everyone reships quickly. In fact reshipping times on both side can be downright embarrassing at times. Seems to me it could discourage PvP. |

You know, if you really want to **** on the farmers, once you get a system to 0%; def-plex all plexes down to about 1 minute and then leave the plex. You have now doubled the time the farmer will have to run those plexes. |

WTF? So bringing up the FW neocom and checking which systems have had their capture status increased isn't an indicator on where people are running plexes? Sounds to me like someone wants an easymode PVP. Possibly one with arenas or something. Isn't there a game for that? Doesn't it start with a "W" or something? |

If you want timer notifications build a POS, setup a POCO, or go to null sov. Timer notifications are a pain in the posterior. We don't need them in FW, because sooner or later someone will report them or go and kill them. I do not need some easy peasy notification telling me I need to go 20 jumps because some stabbed farmer just started running the button in a plex. |

First, by easy pvp, I mean you won't have to actually do some work and hunt for targets. Hunting for targets is actually somewhat fun for some of us. Second, pirates will most likely abuse it by putting alts in FW just so they know where to go for a gank. Third, if CCP can't provide up to date stats on the map now, what makes you think they can make this happen? Hell, it might just increase server load and lead to more TIDI.
As to cloakers in plexes, I see it this way, WTs will use this little mechanic to warp into a plex with 4-5 cloakys and one tanked out pvp ship, the notification goes off, someone sees the notification and travels to that system and plex, they warp in, Falcon decloaks, Arazu decloaks, Rapier decloaks, Stratios decloaks, and the single pvper gets ganked. Players soon learn to ignore the notifications, and then the whole concept is moot. |
