Warfare & Tactics

Not empty quoting, but +1.

Now that it appears the plexing bug is being sewn up as we speak (they've finally duplicated it after three years. Progress!) I think this needs to be the front-and-center issue to address ASAP. It's what I've been talking to CCP about, its what all of you are talking about, I think its safe to say that another expansion without this issue addressed would be a colossal disservice to the community. Consider it my personal top priority.

1. They have indirectly by asking specifically for suggestions to solve the NPC conundrum (F&I thread).

2. Like all automotive engineers will tell you then it paramount to have a good strong engine mounted in the chassis before even inventing a wheel for said engine to rotate .. no wai ...
They are doing the right things just in a completely illogical order, like inventing the ejection seat before the parachute or the above example

Pity they didnt actually ask me. I would have saved them 2 years 364 days, 23 hours and 50 minutes of valuable time...

Just saying.

You enjoy a 75% discount because Goons have been propping you up while they have been scamming the rest of eve.Now that they are done I expect the minmatar will fold like an Albanian suit, assuming the Amarr can at long last, now find their goolies.

It doesn't take much lp to get to tier five. I would think the goons probably did more to devalue the minmatar store than help them.

It does take a bit of organization to get to level 5 but most of the work is in getting the systems. Get 30 people to drop 200k lp and even if none of the systems had any upgrades they will all be upgraded enough so that your other lp can be cashed in at tier 5. Really minmatar likely only need a few more systems and about 15 people to donate 200k to go from tier 4 to hit tier 5.

After that their lp can be cashed out at half price from level 4.

Assuming ccp does some corrective action so the lp store doesn't crash the goons really didn't do much to effect faction war.

1 week old char speed tanking plexes...

I've been saying it for ages now!!!

There is a difference between a 3 year old toon flying a T2 fit rifter that can fight back and a 1 day old alt created to speed tank for LP. Honestly, no one in my corp has used a low SP alt to plex. Before or after the patch. Then again TRIAD are pvp oriented and i cant expect the whole of militia to have the same mindset. That being said, we did work together with the majority of active Minnies leading up to the patch to snatch up as many systems as possible. We all used our mains (plus booster alts, etc, etc.). why would we use anything else? But that is just my experience.

Would you say that there has been an increase of the use of a 1 day alt rifter pilot?

Are you implying that the Minmatar created dozens of alts to do what our mains could easily do before the patch?

Are you saying the the plex mechanics are the main reason why you lost so many systems before the patch? (hint there are multiple reasons) If yes, what percentage would you say that would be? 50%? 90%? 10%?

I'm not saying CCP shouldn't fix the NPC imbalance. I'm with you on that.

Percentages on the internet is like arseholes, everyone has one so won't go there.

The main reason why you were able to go anywhere beyond Arzad/Huola really is that the majority of the Amarr plexing crew withdrew from the uphill battle that plexing is for us .. the drop-off happened just prior to or maybe just after Crucible .. so it is actually curious that you didn't manage to do more as you had more or less free reign for 5 months or so, but reckon the push/plans weren't made until after FF where CCP ****** up and spilled the exploitable beans
Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar all have characters like Sasawong/Damar/Etc. simply because it is possible to be a plex-a-holic for all but Amarr, I tried but quite literally burned out after nearly two years of needing to put in 3-4x the effort to achieve the same as my counter parts (I was top VP total/earner up until then, 50/50 offensive/defensive) .. I do not know of a single Amarr that has been able to keep up plexing steam for more than a few months at a time (pre-patch).

We all want game to be challenging as well as rewarding, if instant gratification was the only thing then most of us would be elsewhere (or I should hope so ).

The cluster-**** that is FW at present won't be playable (for me) for at least six months or more as practically all facets needs iteration and since it has "launched" any changes will have to be scheduled in whatever gaps are in between other major changes, first and foremost null sovereignty.

You FW monkey's (I am no longer in, so just a vanilla monkey) are in for 3-4 months of frigate alt hell when eWar is removed and unless we can somehow make CCP apply some conscious thought to the winter iterations then that may become even worse and FW as a whole ultimately broken for everyone without a farmer mentality .. so get your arse to the Feature&Ideas and have your say in the designated threads that we may have some Good Times™ in FW once again!

I couldn't resist. Did you have to post so soon? I mean this is just on the page right before your post.

Come on back Jones, there are more minmatar to kill.
