So it looks like the only "Good thing" that is coming with fail1.5 is going to be the WP system where more random **** will give you WPs for scanning, shooting uplinks etc etc.. Is the amount of WP required to get an OB going to be increased or is (Precision Strike) Going to replace the AR514 kill feed ?

OB's should in FW and PC be restricted to EVE side support and not earned through WP.

They should start first by making FW and PC matches worth a **** to EVE players, **** for that matter Dust players as well..

Will be like this. Sooner or later. No ETA yet. FoxFour mentioned Winter 2013 or Spring 2014 for this.

They are taking the NPC strike out of FW and PC. Also they are working on changing it to something EVE players earn rather than Dust players, because currently it doesn't really make sense that an EVE player has to connect to the district and sit there for around 20 minutes doing nothing other than waiting for a strike to be requested.

dont worry, nobody squads up in pubs so you wont see an increase in orbitals

If this is true I will wet myself with joy. I have run OBs from EvE several times and it is boring as hell. They are going to have to be careful though since making it too easy to earn orbitals eve side could be rather unbalancing. Also, how will EvE players target orbitals if they are not requested through Dust mercs?

I think it's a feeble attempt to fix scout. Oh look - now scouts have a role: shooting at uplinks! Yay! you are such a bad S, you just killed 5 iron boxes on the ground that can't shoot or run! You really just saved your team!

to be fair back in PC we always forced our scout to do that all game :P it was a very valid and nessesary role concidering the ability to spam them pretty much meant he was stuck killing them all game.

**** two people with the current WP system scoring 20kills or above can get an orbital...

I am really disappointed that they are doing this. Maybe I'm not seeing this correctly.

But IMO, now every single player is going to have scanners due to the WP farming.

And it kinda pisses me off because you know what, its a selfish endeavor

Use the scanner to help your team, period. You shouldn't be motivated to use the scanner solely because of WPs

They shouldn't be coaxing the players to do what the game is based around solely.

Now the majority of mercs are going to be getting scanners for the wrong reasons.

This is the problem as a whole, gamers always want compensation for doing something that they should be already doing for the better experience of the game.

I really don't like this idea.
