The patchnotes just got dropped like a bomb and im happy to see that we are getting 3 times more LP which means i can actually make complete fits from the FW store without running tons of matches in a row. You'll see alot more people going after that cause all the gear requires less skills to use and some of it have better fitting.

This is all well and good.... but the fact that Standing and Militia status is not in the game just means it lacks any real meaning.....when one player can run 100 Min FW matches then go Amarr for another to get Uplinks....... to be used against the Amarr...... its ******* ridiculous.

Yes but its not even about lore or equipment......
Its about the loyalty aspect. You shouldnt be able to buy anything from the loyalty stores without significant investment of time and effort into a faction...

I'd like for Milita status to be added, but only if the open marketplace is added at the same time, which will likely never happen.

I get that you want that, but it will just be another backlash at the logistics players. No matter how you look at it, a good logi uses all equipment. Maybe one day CCP will figure out the support role .
Look at some equipment from the LP store with the normal market, link it to the crap racial logi bonuses...every logi should get all LP equipment |

As I understand it True and a small handful of others feel that you should have to commit to factions more, akin to how you have to sign into the militia in EVE.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

He like many of the Amarr loyalists in this game is disappointed with the incredible lack of content the Amarr have in this game. Two rifles, One pistol, Four suits, No vehicles, No turrets, No heavy weapons, No AV weapons, One equipment, an underwhelming LP store. These aren't things that you can necessarily fix, but 1.8's "racial parity achieved" rings particularly hollow when some races are starving for content.
I understand that most of the devs have been pulled to work on legion, but if you are *ever* in a meeting with them, please, *please* bring up patching dust with whatever weapons / vehicles / maps they have so there's some actual live play data. A large portion of the playerbases problem with CCP is their constant 'dropping' of projects after introduction, leaving the playerbase with stuff that is unfinished, buggy, or quite clearly broken - something that the current dev team in eve has spent two years trying to fix (and they've barely scratched the surface). Current examples in dust include dropship skill stacking and the current state of the amarr scout (plenty of feedback was given before the patch ever went live and it was ignored) I heard that the World of Darkness game hit alpha three(four?) separate times but was repeatedly scrapped by management.
You've done a lot better in actually listening to the playerbase, but ultimately we're still left with a half-finished game that's in desperate need of actual content. |

That's a symptom, not the problem itself. The actual problem has several layers : 1) The LP payouts are kind of terrible (this is getting a bit better) and losses mean you've wasted your time 2) The LP store is disproportionately expensive compared to isk and severely lacking in content and 3) Faction warfare is only really easy to win if you're either fighting nobodies, or you've got a minimum of two squads (containing four people each).
Treat the problems, not the symptom. |

My point is that Factional Warfare is about loyalty, hence why you primary rewards are loyalty points. However those loyal actions for one faction affects the others perception of you.
I do not feel that it makes any sense by any stretch of the imagination that a Faction organisation like the Imperial Guard would take on a mercenary with such ease as simply..... by toggling a button or selection option.
It seems to me not enough emphasis is on being loyal.... players are just going to farm whatever they want....which in my mind wholly undermines the purpose of FW....and in Dust, unlike EVE we simply don't have to care because our actions have no consequences.
Don't get me wrong I love the Lore and FW..... its why I play this game..... but I am one of few who either show loyalty.....or restrict myself in a specific way so as to enjoy the significance of FW.

I understand the premise that we are simple mercenaries...... but we have Public Contracts for "not caring" we should feel invested in the success of the Militia and the Faction we represent.....
Our loyalty in this sense should not be as insignificant as "oh lookie here I need Nanite Injectors..... or maybe I should go for the Uplinks first.... once those are done I'll need those Gallente Tanks, and maybe then the rep tools...."
I fear the emphasis in terms of meta is going to shift away from an "I fight for this Faction" Mindset and be subject to the Farmer Culture EVE FW suffers from.

What was the thing about Militia and Standard Standings?
Honestly, I haven't played FW in a long time, but isn't there a decrease in standings by playing for the other Factions. It should and it's something we can take a look at, if there is a fixed amount setting or a %.
Extra content, you probably know as well as I do that we don't have it. We can add new LP items, but we need to see FW participation numbers go up to make it worth our time.

Toddler-level: Just because you want loyalty does not give you permission to make logi even more sucky compared to other classes.
There is nothing wrong with a loyalty system, but not at this point. Imagine if there is a loyalty system:
Every race has gun variants. Everyone can shoot with LP gear. Every race has suit variants. Everyone can run a suit with LP gear. Not every race has the same equipment variants. Not every logi can fulfill a support role with LP gear.
Unless you want to claim that you can fulfill a good support role with only racial equipment?
Nothing wrong with a loyalty system, but equipment/support role needs a (finally) overhaul if that's going to happen.

Not really
There is really no incentive to stick with one side and even then the best gear is just proto with a diff skin
In EVE you can get a Caldari Navy Raven which is better than the standard Raven, in DUST you have nothing like that, you are basically playing for a discout and extra skin |

Actually, there's Specialist gear that you can get with reduced fitting requirements. They're better than other weapons in that way. Also, the equipment is, in some cases, superior to ISK variants.
You're quite right in saying there's little point in sticking with one side though. You can maintain standings at a net gain by playing the opposite sides alternatively. I know someone who has both Cal and Gal to standings 6.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.
