Oh and salvage, getting 25% of all that militia gear the enemy used since no one will use protos for fear of getting griefed.

I'm sure as hell not playing FW just to save a few PG and CPU on my rail rifle.
Simple fact-
The cons of FW VASTLY outweigh the benefits.

Let's see how it plays out first.

We can get OBs but they are for EVE pilots to earn only. This will really tighten up the integration of the two games.

Blueberries fragging us will just cause us to wear militia stuff.

Can you imagine guys spawning in proto gear to snipe (like I do), then getting fragged by some self-appointed blueberry judge, then spawning in militia sniper gear and running around in the middle of CQC. The guy will just die over and over then cost the team a fifteen clones.

People want to win, so I really don't think fragging will be a problem. Likely fragging will be more from accidents.

The lack of ISK just makes it necessary to also play regular games to make ISK.

I like savage being based on what was used and not on tables.

Take the bong and relax.

Thing is I can't see the OBs making a big dent in integration, it'll help but it still seems unimportant. Dust players always want eve strikes but its always been crappy for pilots. Now pilots get kill mails and loyalty standings, but I still don't see that being enough to make pilots go through the hassle. Also considering pilots many times cant make it in time to the districts, and now they'll have to orbit for a full 3 minutes as well, it might be significantly harder to even do it once you do have a pilot.

And good players want to win, I don't see the blueberries caring much...
Salvage is a saving grace but people will just use MLT gear more often anyways.

I honestly cannot see a reason to play through the hassle just for a specialist weapon.

And tanx4teh smokeysmokey.

Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 952	Posted - 2013.12.03 21:05:00 - [3] - Quote 5 pg and 20 cpu is more than gallente assault gets back from their -25% bonus on a Duvolle AR. With the new FW gear, we get even less of a bonus since the overall weapon requirement will be much less rendering our suit bonus even more useless.

Quit being so negative. 219 items are AUR equivalents, less skill requirements. the only new weapons, are the ones they said were the new weapons, which are proto specialist items. Saving about enough pg and cpu to change a single enhanced tank mod to a complex, hardly seems worth the grind. Stop being all googly eyed about it and realise that griefing alone will entirely kill the game mode. Also, being negative? You must be new here.

Move to a different position every time you shoot and get a little closer to the frontline. Believe it or not, I favor snipers who actually think strategically over snipers who just shoot for farming points. depending on the map, I can snipe effectively from 60m away from the fight. On average I get 10 kills. I am always ready to move depends on the flow of the battle and were the bulk of the fighting is going on. Being this close to battle makes me an easier target, for FF. If I was just farming points I would be far away from anything so there would be no issue. When I look down my scope, all I see are dead people.

It is, i expect to be killed quite a few times for 'good lulz' Frankly the rage that will come from FW is well worth the risk of not being super leveled with the faction you chose. Also people will use Proto and will proto stomp all they can in FW - you assume that because you are poor (by you i mean the wider you) that others wont bring proto, you are wrong.

I was flying as EVE pilot above planet one time... It was BORING AS HELL to just wait then I can bombard something, or... do anything! And on the dust side, you got a lot of action, and besides that you need do make warpoints. So this, that EVE pilots need to do something in space too, is actually very good. Both players can play, and not just one side. And besides deciding for witch squad leader coordinates to bombard is also fun: 1) it makes you king of the hill, and you make the decisions 2) more eve-dust link with chatting and talking etc, because squad leaders need to make eve pilot to his side, and help eve pilots to decide so these changings are very good I support BPO removal and RDV to take your vehicles back

Not sure I'll end up playing fw due to this. I'm a dedicated sniper and I've been thinking about this a bit. If a blue kills you when you snipe, spawn in a militia assault and hunt the guy who killed you. If you die, spawn in again. Rinse and repeat. BECAUSE If you kill the one blue guy who kills you, you lose very little. Especially if you have high faction staring at the start. If you die a lot in militia gear, you lose no standings and no ISK but your team will lose a bunch of clones. This will make your team NOT want to frag you because they can't kick you. If you burn too many clones, your team will get closer and closer to losing. Munch What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?
