Also I love the fact that there is a winning percentage requirement for the rewards. If you're complaint is going to be "my team is full of a bunch of scrubs" well then do something about it. Make squads, rally forces, etc. Look at what other factions are doing to support their side and get wins.

I hear you , but unfortunately most of these attempts are ignored. Usually, if someone isn't in a squad when they join a match, they won't be gettin into one. hardly anyone uses mics in team chat so rallying anything is impossible.

I have terrible luck when it comes to being placed on a decent team. Usually, it is Ultramarine Corp + NPC Corp lonewolf n00bs, with no mics vs 2 full Proto squads.

Nothing short of Team Deployment will fix the issue.

You know I always liked you guys but why aren't the ultramarines Imperial? C'mon Robute Guilliame would be proud of you.
Fortunately at the moment its the same for me, except my TZ means I can make use of that.

Well maybe this will answer your question :P

We fight for anyone in FW, atm though I'm focusing on Minmatar for the Six Kin Rep tool, and logi mk.0s.

Castor Crave DUST University Ivy League 15	Posted - 2013.10.09 19:36:00 - [1] - Quote It's about this: http://dust514.com/events/factional-warfare-challenge/ I played ten matches now. In order to get the rewards I need to fight 40+ matches and win at least 45% of them. I really wanted to do this, brought my best gear and so on. Now, I lost 8 of those 10 matches. The issue was the matchmaking. This and this for example. It also drops me into battles that are about to end (on the loosing side of course). Out of those ten matches ONE was a good fight. The other win was a boring proto stomp. I don't know, maybe this is CCPs way of balancing the district ownership in FW. Just give the winning side less players. I don't know how it looks for the other races though, just being cynical. I am going back to farm ISK with BPO stuff in pubmatches now, that was a really frustrating experience Please fix it.

Master Jaraiya Ultramarine Corp 1080	Posted - 2013.10.09 19:42:00 - [3] - Quote Yes matchmaking sucks. Your getting tossed into lost battles because players are leaving battles to avoid a incurring a loss. CCP wrote: Team deployment is not a priority It is possible to que sync. Have 2 squads set to que for only one faction. Then, simply que in at the same time. It doesn't always work, so be ready to cancel deployment if you don't get into the same match.

They really need to come up with better incentives for these things. Do you know how many merc's would geek out of their MQ had a poster in it that said "I was there when the Titan fell" Simple things that keep people entertained

Gorra Snell The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 169	Posted - 2013.10.09 20:09:00 - [7] - Quote I ran FW 7 matches today - in 5 of those, we came into the game just as the other side was capturing the last or next to last point...by the time our squad managed to wade into the carnage, we'd lost well over half out MCC shields. Losing because Scotty brought us to the party late...fun times

Also events where you can lose are much better than those where you click and get bacon.

Would prefer bacon to current rewards Maybe with secondary market people can start putting prices on these things would change the valued worth of the prices over standard gear. I'm open to prizes you think are worth it. I am thinking about consolation/participation prizes as welll but the this has to take into the account future markets and manfacturing. Items out of thin air is a massive no no in evr which is why all allaince tourney ships are blueprints.

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 1733	Posted - 2013.10.09 22:11:00 - [19] - Quote I agree this is a terrible problem. The closest thing to a solution is to look for/make a squad dedicated to winning FW warfare battles. Hopefully the squad finder will earn our love gathering dedicated FW challengers.

TechMechMeds Swamp Marines Kleenex Inc. 332	Posted - 2013.10.10 02:27:00 - [22] - Quote This relates to my belief that maybe people should have a required amount of sp to do fw. Or maybe even make the academy a 100k wp requirement to graduate, that between roughly 50 or 100 matches maybe more for a newb I'd say.
