Why am I not surprised your math is terrible. 25 people upvoted notifications and you think that is less than 10% of people who have voiced an opinion on it.

Every single person I've talked to has stated that notifications is moronic and dumbs down the game. This is coming from pvp'ers who participate in occupancy warfare, not the farmers. I apologize for not looking at your up-votes.



Ill go with actual data instead of your claims.

Dumbs down the game? So the current mechanic where the best plexers fit stabs and run from all pvp requires more cleverness than pvping for the plex.

Great conclusion to reach.

Would you care to link the post with 25 upvotes? I can't find it in this thread. Maybe it is in some other thread somewhere? In fact you are the ONLY person in this thread that I have seen in favor of notifications. I could be wrong. There might be one more person in favor (with everybody else opposed), but the actual data in this thread is clear. The community is opposed to notifications.



Check my sig and the thread that is linked in that thread. That gives the actual proposal. Its more reliable than your claim that 250 people are against the idea. it was mainly just you, bm, super chair and veshta. And you guys are still trying to argue against it with varying contradictory arguments like:
"It won't effect pvp in plexes"
"It will make pvp too easy to find" etc.


But anyway ccp needs to look at the reasons given. The only arguments against the idea is "farmers are gonna farm" or "your not even in fw" or "if you don't like fw then quit"

I think they have enough sense to draw a reasonable conclusion.

yes but that proposals over 2 years old a whole lot has changed since then and pvp has gone up without the notification... 2 yrs later ur still banging on bout it..... get outa the basement for ur own sanity man.

Ans when that other guy proposed it was wen plexes spawned randomly and was pushed around he was proposing to make the plexes easier to find so others could get there to pvp... but now we know were all plexes are there in all fw systems, and also maybe back in 2008 there wasnt that many pilots interested in plexing or fw

The top vp gainers still avoid pvp.

However you are right that they added lots of lp to plexing. So now we have allot of people with alts in fw that don't care about the actual sov game but don't want their easy isk removed by making it an actual pvp game.

edit that is why I don't really care what the current crop of players say. The only questions are whether ccp wants to make a sov a pvp game. And what are the reasons pro and con for timer rollback and notifications.

hold on a minute dont u openly admit to having fw alts for isk is that u not really contradicitng urself im confused i mean your dogpiling the situation but also moaning about it

And yes there is alot of alts but the bulk of the militia that are interested in fights know exactly were to go to find them

The way i see it is really how many of those people that backed your proposal are still in militia today? including yourself. The people who your arguing with have stayed in militia through thick and thin and are mainly happy with the current iteration of fw but would like to see timer rollbacks as the next big step. These guys really know what feature will work and what wont.

as iv said before the only way to make sov realy a pvp game is do away with plexes and add sbus and tcus like in null sec but that would blow big time

Why shouldn't I cash in on broken mechanics like the rest? At least I point out its broken. But really I have enough isk to last me a long time so I rarely use the alts anymore. I do however use the plexes for fights. The plex mechanics always were a good venue for pvp thats the main reason I mourn the fact that ccp doesn't fix fw sov.

No you really don't know much history of fw or the views of the players posting on these forums.


XG basically said fw was fixed after they did away with the downtime spawn mechanic.

Super chair pushed for better pay for plexing in the form of ships.

Bad messenger basically said it was fine even before the downtime spawn change.

And veshta can hardly be described was more disappointed in the changes than I was.

Again you are wrong. My problem is that the most efficient way to plex is to avoid pvp.

If we had a notification and timer rollback that would change. You would see the killboards of the people who got the most vp that day and you would see they are good pvpers instead of stabbed rabbits.

Edit:
In fact i bet you would find that the pilots getting the most vp per day are some of the best pvpers in the game.

They have never gotten rid of the after downtime mechanic. But I was happy with FW when they introduced the perpetual respawning plexes that minimized the effect of the after dt plexes. And with all the other iterations of FW, the current version is the best.

Of all the potential modifications in this thread, the notification system has received the least support.

Timer rollbacks is almost universally accepted as a good thing.

Removing warp core stabs and cloaks has received more support than the notification system.

Reducing isk/payouts or removing the Tier levels (the main cause of farmers - just notice how many show up once a side reaches Tier 3, not to mention Tier 4) has received more support than the notification system.

More difficult to kill rats/only appropriately sized ships can run timers has received more support than a notification system.

Interesting data, don't you think?

Cearain - Not very fair of you to quote Super Chair from 18 months ago regarding a completely different fw system to what we have now.
The thread you mention linked in you sig is so old and before so many fw changes that it's irrelevant now.

The fw we have now isn't too bad - yeah we all want it better but not if it breaks the game.
Notifications are too much easy intel and will not provide organized alliances with any extra information.
We usually know who, what and where the enemy are in the plexes without a notification system.


Forum Likes mean nothing - I have 310 at this time and I have posted one good idea ever. (Flame thrower Modules. They're an awesome idea + I'd wanna hear your drones scream as they burn)



Would also like to say gf to the froggies since we moved the alliance to Enaluri.
It's been good fun fights most nights I log in and bother to undock.

Not me a thumbs up they gave the idea of notifications a thumbs up. There were also and 12 more who did before ccp changed the forums. 25 is not allot in general but specific fw ideas traditionally do not get allot of support.

So for your 10% claim to work you would need 250 people saying they want to keep the current carebear race. Thats why I am more interested in the actual data than your claims.

I don't doubt you could get it with the current crop of rabbit alts. But I am just more interested in people with a brain who address the actual reasons for the proposals as opposed to those that just repeat your bad arguments like "farmers gonna farm" and "hey! yer not even in faction War."

The problem is exactly the same. Its still most efficient to plex by avoiding pvp.

As far as super chair I don't know what his views are now. The only thing I know is he seems to have been butthurt about some post or other that I made so he tends to occassionally follow me around in the forums and make insults at me. Thats my impression of him.

Never met him in game, and I don't really care one way or another about him.

With the current mechanics the pvpers can't control the rabbits. Look at the top vp gainers for a day and then look at their killboard for that day. That would change if we had notifications. The best pvpers in eve would be the most sought after for each militia. But if players want to protect the rabbits because they are too worried about free intel well that is their choice. But lets make it clear what the choice is. Its either pvpers winning sov or its rabbits winning sov.

Notification would not prevent farmers from farming. They would still have cloak and WCS, and they would still cloak when you enter.

Notification though would prevent some pvper from pvping, because they would receive a blob each time they open a plex to attempt a not so unfair fight.

Also, it's impossible to make a system where farmers earn less than pvper, because pvper lose ships, because they fight, whereas farmers farm.

Why is it still so very easy to do plex while fitting stabs and cloaks?

If i try to mine in a frig i get a low income, if i rat in 0.0 i get a low income and if i haul....

FW - do everything in a stabbed frig get paid just the same as anyone in any ship no matter how much better than the bare minimum.

Then you can layer on other stupid complications all you like, such as sov or bunker busting etc While the core is pve heaven doable on alts worth nothing to replace in low sec, its always going to be broken!

at least in incursions or WH there is some teamwork, skillpoints and focused ship fittings to get paid, of course that's too much work and few bother... but you know, its your game ccp, balance it.
