I disagree.
I think these back stories are the reasons which cause players to choose their FW allegiance.
RP as you will -but people (not so hard for politicians) from 1st and 2nd world nations have a hard time supporting factions (even imaginary ones) which support slavery or fascism. Little as I actually invest (RP wise) into my character. I would never fight for Amarr or Caldari for those reasons alone.
You can blame matchmaking or farming or whatever you like. The fact is that Amarr and Caldari lost, and will continue to lose because those factions are unpopular -Not because the game treats them unfairly. |

Also there are plenty of very bad things about the Gallente and Minmatar as well as many good aspects of Amarr and Caldari. Just because you choose to look at the empires with a very shallow perspective does not mean that's how it is. Personally I find the Gallente a lot more dangerous to humanity than any of the rest, but if you don't actually look into the lore and see why I can understand why you'd say, "But Gallente are freedom and Amarr are slavery!" There's a lot more to it.
Strawman aside -Couldnt agree more.
But the Caldari are a facsist state whose governing power derives from the role of the CEO. The CEO cares about control, nothing more.
Amarrians worship a woman who by birth was declared a goddess and suffers from the dueling Other residing in her brain and a Vitoc enslavement by her number one officer.
Corrupt governments can be overthrown.The control centers of Tribalism are much more fluid as the strongest rules the day.
You cannot overthrow a permanent entity such as a Corporation, they must be forced out by another entity without soul.
You cannot overthrow a goddess which 1/3 of an empire (and nearly half population wise) would gladly give their lives for.
Shallow or not, you are defending your ideology (or that of your character) and our opinions are meaningless.
Who wins is decided by the districts which are conquered.
And your side lost.

Dont be so full of yourself...The battle hasn't even started yet....
I am amazed how statements of fact can be interpreted as meaningless bravado.
And how statements of meaningless bravado can be derived from interpretations of fact.
I concede FW will change, possibly even be swung in favor of the Caldari.
That will likely come about less from our words on the forums, than our actions on the battlefield. |

2. EVE based support however much better than regular OB support does not make enough difference to encourage players to go out of their way to aid the ground troops nor make a massive difference to ground Ops.
Hmm, perhaps if an EVE player is connected to the district you can gain some sort of bonus besides the OB. Perhaps something like the EVE player can be carrying an extra stock of clones or perhaps, given a certain number of warpoints, could trigger some long range remote armor repair/shield transport for the MCC? Make it so everyone wants to have EVE support. Active battlefield scanners, turret drops, single turret strikes on battlefield assets, perhaps even possible denial of RDV drops of a couple of seconds making enemy vehicle deployment a few crucial seconds slower.
Agree.
Having played against you last night, I am beginning to understand your frustration from Postulate 3. You guys gave your all and had very little blue support.
But back to popularity (no longer bashing Amarr) I present a story:
I went into a FW where the opposing team was protostomping in the first few minutes. More power to Ancient Exiles but I left the match. (Pubstomp all you want, but I don't have to be your fodder.)
Heres the thing-
Queued up immediately for a second match: full team for Minmatar versus 4 on the Amarr side. Played that one.
Next match 16 Minmatar versus 12 on the Amarr side. We won.
Later this morning, one other and yours truly versus nobody.
Yup I won. I think the other guy was either bugged or AFK.
If by random queue there aren't enough players to field a full team, you guys don't stand a chance.
Popularity aside, I dont think the numbers exist for your dedication to this type of persistent combat. |
