I wanted to create this thread before vacation but there wasn't time and I wanted to be involved in the discussion so waited until now. So, hypothetically speaking, say we had a screen for Factional Warfare that was showing how a specific battle effected the EVE universe. What kinds of things would you maybe possibly like to see on it? For example:
- Districts owned by the faction out of all possible districts they could own
- How much time this battle has saved your faction for the solar system it's attacking
- How many EVE players this affects (EVE players that have received LP in the system in the last 24 hours)
- Did this battle make the system vulnerable in EVE
That is just a small list to give you an idea. I figured you guys might be interested in being part of this random discussion. :)
Everything that was listed here is just stuff that affects EVE, to me that is worthless without having content that says what is EVE doing to affect me in return. I mean why would I care at all if I help out or greatly harm the EVE players except out of ego at this current point in time, as they can not help me get SP, they can't give me ISK, they are a complete non factor for me right now. If for example, I get Gallente my faction to win 10 or even 100 FW's currently this has no effect on me, I could have even done the same in pub matches/instant action and get the same amount of SP and ISK. So my list is the following.
* What market fluxuations there will be because of battles/planets Won or Lost
*How much this affects both EVE and DUST players in what they will earn.
*How much EVE corps will pay DUST players for making a system vunerable.
*Reputation gain, ISK gain, whatever for DUST players being provided by districts owned and EVE player funding.
I'm a merc, I care some about faction loyalty, but give me enough Isk or gear and I'll switch sides, I want news/stats that affects the net income of my wallet and my inventory and what jobs in the future might be paying out. If I thought that I'll get more money by putting the screws on one faction, I'm going to do it till they make me a better offer, that's how a merc works. The overhead battle being conducted by mega corps I could care less about until they pay me to care. |
