Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Rather quickly..

If someone's hunting for solo PVP, they could either hunt plexbots in minors or still seek other solo PVP hunters in the minors.. As you describe it, there would be no net change from today should the "value" of the minor be decreased with regards to system capture/VP earned towards a system being contested.

I'm not talking about huge groups. In fact the largest I specified was 6 in an unrestricted major, 2 in a minor.. 3 in a regular.. 5 in a major.. Are any of those blobs? More groups = more people = more of a target pool. When I'm out solo I'd prefer to find a system with more than one target, but less than 6. How about you? Do you just enjoy one target? One potential for an engagement? I just.. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something here? It's starting to sound like we're making Faction Warfare Cearain Online. Like you want stuff to be highly tailored to your very exacting play style and aren't really willing to consider other options, other play styles and instead of working with tolerance thresholds, you want.. what you want. "I want people to want to go into minors, because that's where I can hunt solo. I don't want to be in a group of my own, and I'd prefer they not be in a group either. I don't want to have to fly a bigger ship to tank the rats in the larger plexes, and I definitely don't want them to warp off when I come across them, but if they do I still want to 'win' immediately for it. By the way, I want to be paged by the system to know exactly where I need to go to find these people, in real time. The 15 minute time delay on the level of how far along a system is contested is too long, as prey could escape. I don't want PVE'rs to decide the landscape of the war, but I want to get all the LP I feel I'm entitled to when I decide to plex." That's what I have so far as an idea of what you want out of the warzone.

Again, I'm still not seeing how anything I've suggested with regards to the proposed changes makes anything any worse.

I get that you're not keen on the whole artificial pay scale bit, but check out the math. Solo plexers right now can make an absolute killing, for little to no real risk. I think there should still be the same amount of wealth available for conquering a system; I just think that wealth should be able to be/encouraged to be spread around.

I guess the other point to address is.. yeah.. as I said, everything about the mechanics of the plexes would stay the same.. meaning that only those people (not even neccessarily in a formal fleet), that are in range of the button, would receive the LP. I figured that one was obvious, but happy to clarify. I do rather like the reward range being expanded though, so those holding a defensive position on the warp in beacon were also rewarded.

Anyways, back and forth.
