Warfare & Tactics

In the past most fights were never taken in plexes at all. My post very clearly stated that the reason these larger hulls were not used had nothing to do with any FW mechanics. Are you really so desperate to be contrarian that you cant even read?

If you are going to concern troll then at least try to be good at it rather than a sperg lord.

Now, in your own mind im sure you are maintaining a coherent and consistent argument. But are you at all aware that everyone else thinks you are mental?

If i was mad i would claim that i wasnt

I agree that timer rollbacks need to be added.

However,

I think that they will be considered a "catalyst for warzone stagnation" and so they probably want to implement something that enhances warzone movement before or at the same time.


Right now

I think the penalties / bonus's given for Tiers 1, 3, 4 and 5 are too wide.

There should be the means to "contract to Militia". (massive aid for supply/resupply to open Militia fleets, fitted ships in particular)

The most desirable LP store items are not spread equally over the 4 factions.

The spawn rates on NPC's in plex's should be capped (to 5 max) with a longer window for respawn rate.

NPC spawns in FW plex's should aggress all parties other than the defending faction.

The suspect flag for aggression within a FW plex should be removed, for all parties. Warzone, neutral zone, "no mans land". Describe it how you want. It is a poor mechanic for defending your already War Dec'd role and is a PvP suppressant.


Then when there is time...

Ranks should be reworked so they can be achieved by either LP accumulated or FW kill scores.

Rewards PvP kills in a different way to LP for all participants on the km - could be tied in with both the Rank system, the LP store, the system level bonus system and more.

LP store should be cleaned up and rebalanced so that modules are a more common and worthwhile choice.

Faction Tech II ammo in LP stores (charges were done, now do other consumables). Give the crystals high burn out rates and make the Faction Tech II ammo for other types larger (less per reload).

Set the system level upgrades as destroyable modules built onto the ihub (same as null-sec station services). Levels are then downgraded by combat at the I-hub or by system flip only.

Introduce a rare faction ship reward, obtainable from the LP store only with the medal for full Warzone control and whilst holding the highest rank.

Introduce a new highest level rank that is obtainable only by FW kills not LP accumulation. Elite rank should be an extremely accomplished combat position.


Mmm... so a few to start with.

There are lots of changes that could be done, many have been suggest last year when it was a hot topic on several occassions. One of the things I still can't understand though is why they still give FW so much damn LP.

I mean why does Tier 4 have to give 450% more LP then T1??????????? Who needs 1-2mil LP a day to fund PVP?????????

Back before Retribution I suggested the following (IIRC)

T1 = -5%
T2 = Base
T3 = +5%
T4= +10%
T5= +15%

Same applied to missions, I mean why do L4 missions at T4 need to give something like 85K LP?????????

It's totally insane. Have more subtle bonuses would at least help create a little bit of Faction loyalty and less motive for PVE gangs to keep changing side, because as it stands now losing factions start to bleed players rapidly as pilots go where the LP is, not great for creating a good PVP machine, it makes recruitment very hard and all of this detracts from the purpose of FW, which CCP says is PVP.

I too would like to see some action taken on 'Plexville Eve Edition'. The more we PVP should not mean the faster we lose the war!

So before this thread is locked away in the depths of the **** posting vaults. I'd like to reiterate that no FW standings hit for attacking fleet members (concord, sec hits, etc still apply) should be a thing.

The age old way of showing that a game mechanic is broken, is to abuse it. I say if Gallente can easily hold total warzone control for over a certain time period (maybe a month?), then CCP will have to concede that the current system is broken.

If you really want to exacerbate the fact, we could take warzone control from Amarr and hold that as well.

Oh my dear sweet Gallente Jesus yes! That would solve so, so many logistical issues for us and make coordinating reships a WHOLE lot faster.

This (also add people in your alliance).

In addition I think you should get a standings bump any time you are promoted (I believe currently it is just the first time you achieve a rank. Please correct me if I am wrong).
