lose for amarr

Likewise. Whenever I go for either tyrannical empire (Amarr or Caldari), I usually order some food and sit back in my chair watching something on my computer. Makes getting SP easy, and AFKing a worthwhile battle asset (and you never have to pull the trigger even once).

You seriously don't know anything about eve lore do you? Assuming the Caldari or the Amarr are tyrannical is somewhat ignorant of what they really are.

This. Especially concerning the Caldari State. In it's current State (pun not intended), it is lead by a man who started a revolution, and fought against corruption and opulence. So get your facts straight, Asirius.

If any faction could be called tyrannical, it'd be the Gallente Federation. Bringing "freedom" to the masses by forcing them to join them. Riiiight...

So much anger in this thread; I love getting people riled up.

It's as if they think the EVE lore actually has anything to do with this game.

But yeah I would say the Gallente are the most oppressive society behind closed doors.

Yeah, all that voting, fine food, and education... I'm repressed right up the wazoo.

Hmm free elections...
The Federation is corrupt don't be fooled by a facade of democracy, head out to 0.0 that's where freedom is.

FoxFour wants mercs to stay free to join either side to make it easy to join your friends. A valid concern. However, this breaks the commitment aspect and allows joining to help one side lose. Join PC or public matches for that. Faction warfare should be about joining a faction.

I vote for commitment.

I think we have a design that is getting closer and closer to satisfying both sides. Hopefully I will have something to post later this week.

How about giving people higher SP (to some bonus like the daily system) unless they switch sides and have to slowly build it up again?

The tyrannical comment aside, did someone seriously associate Caldari with behaving like an empire?

CCP we really need something done in game to give people a better idea for who the factions are. A small text box when you create your character isn't enough, and you can't expect all Dust players to buy any of the books or visit the EVE Wiki.

The voting in the Gallente Federation is a million times worse than in America, your vote really doesn't matter with how much political corruption there is. There's no caste system, but there might as well be with how easy it is for the top dogs to push you down the ladder. Also large portions of the Federation are in a very poor condition where crimes are committed actively and willingly and no one gives a ****.

Not saying all the Federation is horrendous, not at all. But it is far from this Utopia many people seem to associate it with.

Pretty much this is what the Federation is like. They have massive voting blocs, with the primary alliance of voting blocs able to completely dominate the general elections, the Federation isn't really run the way many people assume it is. Like all of the other empires, the fate of the average human being is decided by a faceless entity with absolute authority.

give us higher sp or isk amounts equivilant to pc matches. loser gets no isk so its VERY competitive and prevents protostomping in pubs so its a buff for noobs. its a faction war for christs sake, not a pub match. give us a reason to like it.

America is still the best.

It's as if they think that your calling two of the empires in this game tyrannical should be accurate and make sense!

And that the EVE lore, consequently, has anything to do with this game!

Crazy, huh?

Keep biting.

It would still be nice if CCP gave people a reason not to remain ignorant.

There needs to be something that separates FW from Public battles. I posted some ideas here.

The 3 main points from my post (LP and standings aside):

1. Have us fight for planets in FW, not Districts. (So at the end of one match we automatically enter another match for a district on that planet - until it is lost, won, or we quit). This allows for a sense of accomplishment, takes time, and makes FW stand out more from Public matches when you see the planet you've been fighting for over the last 4 hours flip colors on the sov map.

2. There needs to be levels of FW contracts. Low level contracts for people new to FW to test the water with (on backwater planets no one really cares about). And high level contracts for key contested planets (where winning the planet means sov flips, or other big repercussions).

3. There needs to be "gear collateral" to ensure a certain level of gear is used. Summed up, you pay 100,000 ISK at the beginning of the match as collateral. At the end of the match your gear / vehicle losses are computed and if they are more than the 100,000 ISK collateral you get it all back. If they are less, you get the difference. (It ensures you lose at least 100,000 ISK in the match). This makes people use the correct gear. Would you rather lose 100K to the ether or in gear? You're going to lose it either way, might as well run a few Proto mods to make your fit more competitive.
