Let us know your feedback - are the games balanced? Hopefully it's helped resolve a lot of the team in-balance issues! So far it didn't do anything in FW. But that was to be expected. So basically I'm just wondering how you intend to fix the one sided FW battles. I mean the problem here is basically that too many good players play for Gallente. So they need a reason to fight for Caldari. Same for Minmatar / Amarr. Well when 1.8 drops it seems LP uplinks will be significantly better than ISK Proto links, this may incentivise more PC players to play for the Amarr. That's something at least :)

One thing CCp does give us is alot of Social tools to organize a good FW channel and start recruiting merc's from pub's into it. I've got a fix for it. Take all players with all 4 faction warfare boxes checked and turn off all factions besides their starting race. If they didn't pick their factions themselves then they automatically get selected to fight fit their starting race until they pick a side. Bam, FW noobies are evenly spread, and teams are balanced.

I know the original post about downtime today said that it was a fix to matchmaking, but what CCP Saberwing has posted in this thread is to agree with the fact that it is a fix to a deployment issue not matchmaking. It didn't fix stacked squads of high SP players vs a team of low SP solo players etc., but it did attempt to fix the issue of being deployed with just a couple of players at the start of a game against a full enemy team, and NEVER getting any reinforcements to fill out your team for the rest of the game. It's baby steps but I'll take it. Any progress is good progress and all that jazz Well he also asked if the matches were balanced so nobody is missing the point. Support Orbital Spawns

Nice idea, I hope CCP does this. I figured this was an issue as well but hadn't really thought about a simple fix like that. If you select all 4 factions (the default) you always end up fighting for the least popular sides (Caldari & Amarr). Please fix the mic bubble bug...

Hopefully it's helped resolve a lot of the team in-balance issues! Balanced in the sense that the numbers seem to be a lot more even, at least in ambush. Not EVEN teams in the sense of SP or capability. Duna still being a scrub with his squad of unkillable tanks (Well virtually unkillable) proto stomp squads too but yea its better CCP so thanks for that. Any improvements no matter how small are welcome. BTW I found a nice little trick to **** off Duna, or at least make myself feel 'special'. If he is on your side ruining the game, follow him in an LAV. When he jumps out to call an orbital, steal his tank and proceed to drive it into the red line for destruction purposes. I got at least 2 or 3 of his tanks this way. May I be the proverbial thorn in his side! CCP can we get friendly fire in ambush please? I wanna kill that guy (In game of course)

No your right You will just have **** skills and half a tank which will get hammered by me or even a mlt tank or AV Well it's no worse than being in a militia tank and offers the chance to put together a slightly better fit at a marginal price increase and it's easy enough to get into that most of these fotm tankers have probably already skilled into it and only use the militia tanks because they aren't much less effective. Here's the point though, it doesn't take much to get into the std tanks and after they nerf militia tanks those that don't already have the skills for it will get them and then you and Spkr will be on the forums constantly complaining about triple damage modded gunlogi's and at the same time you guys will boast about how easy they are to kill.

The way to make teams even is by creating certain game servers ,such as American, Oceania, etc..., that are named basic, advanced, prototype, and militia. And you can only use that level gear or lower on those specific servers. This would forever make teams more even! Check out our site
