Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm afraid you must have missed
Kurniainen (Bleak Lands) to Isbrabata (Metropolis)
and
Gulmorogod (Heimatar) to Egmar (Metropolis)

both of which bypass Eszur entirely and in a huge way.

How can a post this epic and awesome only have one like including mine? I'm not even in the milita any more, but I can see how much more dynamic Metropolis will become.

I am glad we will no longer have the lame gate camps in eszur - assuming this extra gate works to prevent that.

As far as adding the other gates and generally making the fw space smaller- I see pros and cons. But given the the number of active players we have right now the pros outweigh the cons.

I do think the gate from sisiede to eszur will draw some of the focus from kourmonen - which is nice.

I still think I would prefer a jump from sisiede to frerstorn (or even egg to frer or eszur) but this set up has its advantages too.

The plex descriptions are not updated in that build. The rookie plexes will not allow destroyers, will allow navy faction frigs and may or may not allow pirate frigs depending on what we have time to implement.

Wow lots of hate for the Eszur gate camp.... so go ahead give us another one

Who exactly? There are two FW alliances based out of Eszur and neither were consulted. Sounds like the Amarr carebear whine commitee has been in action ...

Put 20 gates in the system we really couldnt give a damn - carebears will still be popped - but don't continue with the usual mendacity by pretending you've done it with a quorum of opinion.

There were a few posts about it.

I don't remember anyone defending the gate camp.

Everyone ******* hates the geography and has for a long ******* time.

Thats not the issue, we are glad with this change. He's just annoyed that Amarr get their way when they whine.

Players have brought up the geography of the warzone off and on for years, this is nothing new. Back in April, I forwarded some suggestions to CCP regarding bypassing the Hof pipe, and CCP brought up the map again at the summit. At the time, it wasn't something that most players considered more important than fixing the broken plex mechanics and economic issues that were plaguing FW so it didn't get as much hype, but as the plex mechanics and WZC issues have been buttoned up one by one more and more players zoomed in on it again as one of the remaining issues making the Amarr / Minmatar warzone less dynamic than it could be.

In other words, the bottlenecks in our warzone have been talked about as long as players have been talking about FW reform, so there's been plenty of time for everyone to speak up and voice their support or opposition. You can blame Amarr whining all you want, but the bottom line is that this is one of those common sense changes that allows for more fighting to occur where it hasn't been as active historically. I sincerely hope the Amarr take advantage of this opportunity and hit us hard when this goes live, I'm sure it will keep your pilots busy and having fun.
