I heard an offhand rumor that factional warfare was to be dismantled and done away with in the future. I would simply like to know if this rumor is true. I enjoy factional warafre a great deal and find it to be an excellent learning route for combat pilots. Thank you.

The only silver lining if this is true is the possibility that this could one day happen for incarna.

I haven't heard any such rumor. I think the problem is that FW just doesn't seem to matter. When I roam through the gallente/caldari border systems, I don't see FW fleets...I just see pirates. Some of them might be aligned with one faction or another, but I've only seen FW action a handful of times in the past few months.

If you want to save it, recruit people into it and turn it up to 11. Get big fights going. capture and lose territory. Make it important to the game.

That said, it does make sense that at some point the wars would end. The question is, what does CCP do with those areas of lowsec after that?

CCP have officially stated that they are NOT removing FW from the game in another thread that was posted (and locked) with a similar topic

Do not confuse this with the general lack of comments from CCP on what they are going to do to IMPROVE and FIX FW which we have not heard anything of since the vague promises made post fan fest when they missed the round table discussion..

Very few things has been removed from Eve since the start and not of them a single larger feature .. what they do is put it in a box on the top shelf where it can gather dust for eternity. The boxes are only ever noticed if the contents starts rumbling (ie. bugs!), thereby making dust fall on the lower shelves.

They didn't miss it, they ignored it .. if it was merely a 'miss' then they'd have arrived late but as I understand it all they could spare was a dictation machine.

On the upside, at least the FW-fail wasn't as bad as the Dominion fail which utterly broke the game for a majority of characters, but then again they are getting fixed so FW will soon have the top spot on "The List of Fail". Cry

You know there's a reason why they're called rumors, right?

That would be great! Big smile

Grouping that many idiots into factions has been bad for Eve.

Except for the Gallente, they seem to know a few things about PVP.

Another FW thread. To answer the post about taking systems. No one does that because its not rewarded nor does it actually change a thing. Same with plexing. I should be fair I guess, those two things do changing one thing. Some small text in the top left of everyones screen.


Epic


Anyways I await the winter patch being launched, repaired. fixed and the updates added so Team BFF can being working on Low Sec.

Please, Remove FW missions, Make flipping systems the best LP rewards ever and get rid of any and all NPCs in plexes. FW is not PVE based.

Don't ask about Italics, just tilt your head.

i like FW, its quite a bit more exciting to do a mission. it gives me a reason to go into amarr space and play the hunted. I get a kick out of completing missions in spite of the hunters. the systems can be swarming with amarr militia, all of them seemingly, gunning for me. The challenge of evasion and escape are good fun. I still suck at PvP though, It seems as though everyone i run up against is just that tiny bit more better then me, so ive lost a lot of frigates and destroyers. When i go back to hi-sec for level 4 mission isk grind, to restock the war chest, I find them boring and hi-sec tedious.
and the FW loyalty point rewards are quite nice. a level 4 mission out of a .4 system, or whatever Dal is, will give a bit over 22,000 lp's. That is nice. take a look at the FW loyalty point store.Blink
