A.) CCP flipped the glitch making Gallante/Minmatar dominate, to Amarr/Minmatar.

B.) The event that gave scrappy rewards to the Gallante (proto scout suits? -_-) and awesome awards for Caldari/Amarr (Assault suits :D)

C.) People want easy games so they are hanging on to the coat tails of EoN and just trailing off their sucess. Amarr/Caldari FW is so easy mode because everybody has at least advanced. These noobs in Gallante are fresh off the boat.

Either way, thats not the point. The point is that no matter what side, the fact that any faction is the FOTM is good.

No, this is not any kind of gloating or the like. This is a legitimate discussion.

Consider this, previous FOTM have been OP weapons or suits that favored some players over others. The recent spike in FW is not like that. No matter what side you favor, what could be better for the game than everyone really getting in to their race and the rivalries inherent to New Eden? The interest in representing your faction and the passion that it has fueled can do nothing but improve the experience overall. Its just MORE FUN!

Whether you are for Gal/Min or Amarr/Caldari, it's cool (well, maybe not, actually your soul needs to be cleansed by the light of my LR, lol), just go for it! That's the promise of this game.




I played like a bizzilion games and i got no rewards!!




(p.s. You can say what you want about EoN, following the crowd, but trust me, I got into plenty of amarr FW games with randoms that I got spanked.)

Okay even if that is true, which by all a accounts it could be. Why the hell should the MInnies/ Gallente get its benefits for a month they demand it be fixed when Amarr Caldari get it?

A.)They've suffered with it for less than a week, they have no right to complain, though I am more in the camp that the mechanics are bugged so that its insanely hard to get out of the ditch and easy to force others into it.

B.) You will have wasted more resources in completing the event than you will be getting for participating in it. Makes no sense to blame that when rewards aren't even very good.

C.) How is it easy mode? Our players are the most under repped faction. We've been fighting with EoN for almost a month now. Its not the event. Its poorly organized, whiny players looking for a scapegoat.

Atleast duct tape will never be OP. Or will it?

A.) CCP should have fixed the system not just play the "your turn to get it in the back" card.

B.) Really on benefits people who would have fought in FW anyways. Might as well get cool crap instead of useless junk.

C.) Amarr/Caldari are over saturated with veteran players. So you are way more likely to be matched in with other squads of proto's and advanced suits, just out of random chance. Also, people that realized that Gallante/Minmatar are not easy mode anymore have migrated over to the winning side. Therefore, there are even more vets on the winning side. I'm not blaming EoN, or Caldari/Minmatar supporters. I'm blaming CCP and their "quick" fixes, that do nothing more than add further bull ****.
Believe it or not, I actually use to play only Amarrian and Caldari because I felt cheap abusing the system.

C= not our concern. Why cheapen our victory because we are good players? Why cheapen it because we organised ourselves to get constant squads running to break through the suppression of the system in place?

It was cheap back when Gallante/Minmatar were doing it and its cheap now. Said it then, saying it now. Reason I never hyped us up (asides from the occasional role playing to screw with people in the RP threads when Caldari/Amarrian were stroking egos ;) ).

Also, are you saying that you guys just miraculously changed your tactics the same time the glitch was reversed and that the glitch in no way helped you out?

I always said FW was crap. Didn't defend my own and I'm not going to defend you guys.

Glitch = bad. Everybody getting hyped up about their faction in FW = really good! Everybody likes a little good-natured trash talk.

I'm waiting to see where loyalties are when the event is over. If PIE et. Al. can field the same numbers week after week then I will tip my hat to them and agree the Militia and Federation need to (further) organise themselves (which we have been doing by the way!).

If I'm right, the event will end and the "hired guns" and fake support will disappear leaving the Amarr out gunned. We can then see if the mechanics are "fixed" and the systems can be flipped back.

At present, the event, IMO, is skewing the landscape both in terms of numbers and those that are loyal FW players.

Well considering science for death is mainly gallente FW so Im told why don't you stick to your own FW zone and stop carrying the Minmatar and let them fight for themselves if you are so concerned about loyalty and faction support.

I'm neither particularly happy about either

A.) The next month of boring same ass **** Amarr dominance of their FW zone.
B.) The next months of boring same ass **** Gallente dominance of both the FW zones.

I'm unsure about the "glitch" too, hence why I don't bang on about it.

I also think that there is a tipping point where conquest/domination is assured if enough squads are thrown at the mechanics for a intense period.

And please get off the "I want credit" bus, I've given you guys credit plenty of times in many threads, you are now just asking for your epeen to be stroked until its sore.

Also here's a pro-tip: Two or three squads of Science For Death winning all their battles is not going to be enough to turn the tables on something as large a scale as Faction Warfare. If you really want to make an impact on FW, you're going to have to rally a lot more people than your pool of players from your corp.

We only play FW because the Aussie servers are crap now and FW can get us a decent ping fairly often. We only fight for minmatar because Vulkan Ulki is a racist and hates everyone but the minmatar. We aren't trying to make a push at all and I think I speak for our entire corp when I say that we don't really care who has the territory, You guys fight to claim land for the amarr and we fight for the sake of fighting

Amarr/Caldari had great FW rewards

If they ever add in faction suits and guns then ppl will play for there fav faction,some will still be mercs and play all, if vehicles are also faction i will play them all so get a set of them or just play one side if ther is a vehicle i really like until the market comes into play

I never understood that part though. "I'm a merc, I fight for whoever is paying." Aren't they all paying the same right now?

anyone who wins is op.
