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.
No you don't get it.... if the LOYALTY system does not inspire LOYALTY then it is fundamentally NOT ACHIEVING its purpose.

There is a penalty, just it isn't exactly damaging. It's still 100% possible, given enough time and effort, to get perfect 10/10 standings with -all- factions. If I fight for Gallente against Caldari.. I gain a portion for Gallente and lose some for Caldari, but if I turn around and fight for the Caldari - I actually gain more than I lost in the first match. Thereby, I can continue doing this for ages until I've gotten perfect standings with both.
It essentially takes the whole 'Loyalty Point' thing and flips it on it's head. It's not so much Loyalty as 'we're going to like you more if you undo the damage you just did in that last battle' repeatedly.
Point in case (note that this was made -before- it was confirmed that we never go negative in standings)

Do you really think that logis will not use equipment of other races? They will be better of playing pub games because the ISK cost of logis will be too high compared to other classes that can afford to run full LP-gear.
And if you don't like that:
It makes no sense that one race specialized a certain suit (like the scout suits) and other races made one aswell, but they are too ******** to invent a racial variants of equipment. FW will be so unbalanced due other racial gear being much better unless they want to throw away their ISK.
Loyality is nice in an ideal world, but this is still a game (which is far from ideal) + CCP just wants to up the participation numbers to go up...they are not going to give disadvantages to a certain race/class because people will just play pubs.

And while turning FW into Farmville will certainly get numbers up.....you sacrifice what is at the core to achieve it.
Don't get me wrong I appreciate what you are doing.... thank you very much for looking into FW.... but I am just concerned.

That's a fair point.... in Dust without a market you have to pander to people this way..... with a market however that LP gear is available to everyone.
It really doesn't matter what I say.....EVE gives me what I want from New Eden and Dust.....just doesn't....and it sad because I loved FW when LP was but and afterthought and players joined factions simply to support them.

Haven't played EVE, but yeah it looks like DUST could be made a lot more interesting, but I'm not sure if it will ever happen with the direction it is going in now. |

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.

IMO, FW needs a full fledged market - regardless of race (some modules being unavailable, as someone mentioned equipment specifically)
Either that or simply have ISK rewards. /shrug

Are you serious, prioritizing limited resources is the most important aspects of the Hotfixes. Adding LP items for a tiny FW playerbase over doing something better for the majority. Not really difficult to understand.

I hope you didn't spend too much time on that spreadsheet Aero, I could have just given you the ability to edit mine to save you that time (hasn't been updated in 4 months and isn't as pretty, but, oh well). Glad to see someone else (someone with some clout with CCP) discussing the disparity in LP per isk values (in relation to modules in particular).
If you find an issue and I stumble upon your thread, I will do my darnedest to get the issue known.

Obviously, but it's a chicken or the egg sort of thing, in my eyes. Have to understand that players aren't going to flock over to Faction Warfare if they can't recover the losses of the suits and gear that they do use in FW. I use Gallente Commandos, which aren't available on -any- market. That reason, crossed with excessive wait times (10+ minutes) makes me want to just play pub matches instead of trying to get into FW when I'm going to have to inevitable go -back- to pub matches to cover the suit anyway.
So, it comes down to what do we do first? Hope that FW gets more players to justify adding new items, or adding new items in hope that it encourages more players?
What we -cant- do, however, is sit idly by and not look at some of the key factors that are weighing on why players don't participate more in FW. LP rewards are being increased, that's a good start, but it's fruitless if it only covers a handful of gear. Bearing in mind that (I don't know if this is true, just what I've heard) that ferroscale and reactive plates aren't available on the Gallente LP store... You're kinda limited in your fitting, on top of what suits can be used, on top of what weapons can be used.
As I said in my previous post, the only real way out of this is to add ISK rewards and justify the partial loss of gear and allow players to at least recover -some- of the losses with LP and -some- of the losses with ISK. It's probably no small change, I understand completely, but it is something to consider as opposed to making a whole market's worth of new items, at least in the meantime.

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.
only stuff worth getting from the LP stores are the unique equipment and specialist proto weapons which have the betetr fitting reqs. will be worth running an FW booster too now, still not worth actually playign the matches though and just afk'in them but still. nice to get more reward

You don't lose nearly as much standing as you gain when fighting for the enemy, so you can get to level 10 standing in two factions and level 9 in the other two, theoretically.
Also how do you expect to see FW participation numbers go up in the first place when there is so much missing gear? Gear for dropsuits or weapons that tons of people use? You expect them to get invested in FW before adding their items?

Hello all,
just throw in my little bit,
I have more than enough isk to fund my playstyle across all my various methods. I have no problems going isk positive when i feel the need to earn more. I am already at proto level on nearly all of my various items and suits that i enjoy using. Most of my corp mates don't don't really bother with fw
Here is my issue, i would like to be interested in fw but i really have no need to be, i haven't even played fw for a good long while now unless somebody in squad wants to.
things that would interest me would be:
1.Playing fw making an actual in game difference to space, not just a slight adjustment on the star map. e.g. needing to capture territory akin to p.c battles, when a faction has the area the opposing faction(s) should need to regroup or at least adjust plans to recapture etc.
2.FW events. (not particularly for sp, lp or isk) pointed towards the factional goals. e.g week 1, gallente captures a large chunk of amarrian space, caldari being their allies and at war with gallente decide to help counter attack- event = . caldari players try to capture as much area as possible in week 2 before the gallente forces arrive to reinforce. . gallente players need to hold as much as possible for week 2 for their forces to arrive so they can push onwards after .amarr will also push for a recapture from a different side . minmatar (not too sure on their lore, but they will either aid the gallente or be trying to earn salvage from weakened war torn areas at a guess) There could also be capture certain strategic areas/planets for each faction. i.e some lore built into the game, reasons for these attacks and defends a goal to be achieved etc.
3. Factional warfare titles as suggested elsewhere for each race, i would also suggest that these titles be the rewards that can be earned during the fw events in number 2.
4. loyalty to a faction, i think that if we could bring in those titles, they would be a great way to inspire loyalty with a faction especially combined with the factional goals, fighting for an opposing faction could earn demotions, with earning enough wp for the promotions but only during the events. (but fighting for allies not having a negative effect?)
If no players are joining for the events they could either slowly lose their titles or you could just make sure that the rewards are good enough, e.g bonus stats on lp items, or extra sp in fw events..
Basically as we won't be getting a pve mode i think that we should use fw as a lore themed pvp alternative.
this would make me think about playing it more often.
having the lp store would be a good way to stop the lore driven fw having an effect on players pub/corp battles. Thoughts?

I know this affects me quite significantly.
I would have had 80,000+ Amarr FW LP prior to Fanfest, my intent was to wait out the storm and use it to buy Amarr HAV since I am primarily an HAV operator.
We know nothing eventuated from Fanfest and so I had 80,000 LP and nothing to spend it on...... however if I had been a Caldari of Gal Mil HAV operator I would be rolling in Tanks...... even if I could it might take 1-2 HAV to win the match and the ones I buy back from LP store are no different to those I lose....... just significantly more expensive.

WORTH YOUR TIME????? I thought your time was meant to be spent on the game but obviously I was incorrect. You "haven't played FW in a long time" and do not even bother to ask someone in the office with you what the basic mechanics are before you deem it not worth your time. Did you even stop to think that participation numbers were due to the fact that over half the items are missing leaving a random assortment of players who actually benefit from it in the smallest way? What about the fact that half the player base has no idea what factional warfare even is or how any of it works?
Why would factional be worth any players time when they can hardly get their primary suit and 1/4th of the fitting? Simply put LP items are not extra content they are copy / paste of AUR items and calling them otherwise is only making excuses.
Faction warfare is the only reason I log in anymore and why I have a channel with more than 50 players logged in to it by 1 EST every day. Faction warfare is why I went back to spending money on this game. AND THE KICKER..... faction warfare is why I got EVE and have spent real money there as well along with a few other corp mates that did the same because it is the only way to find any fun in this game.
Congrats.... for myself and a minimum of 20 other players that I play with every day, you just managed to go from hero to zero! |

^Lets not have a kneejerk reaction to his post. When he means 'worth their time' there's a silent implication that relates to the prioritization of other gameplay elements versus the prioritization of 'fixing' facwar.
I for one would like the removed vehicle variants to return more than facwar to be 'fixed', Though I do still greatly want facwar to be fixed.
I would like for some of the planned legion content (is there any?) to be trialed in dust - most particularly any and all amarr weapons, as our race is desperately in need of it. |

No one is talking about some crazy fix to FW matchmaking or Q times or anything else that is broken about it. Simply copying and pasting existing elements to the LP store could be done in no time. There is some form of every suit, module, and weapon category in one of the stores so the pricing structure is already in place as well.
Meanwhile it is more important to create and balance an officer weapon that most in the game will only ever see 3 of in the next several months after it comes out and few will even be able to use it. Call it a kneejerk reaction if you want but something is seriously flawed in that logic.
EDIT:
Only when most of a fitting can be made from the LP store will FW play go up. The payout change was well needed and great for the players already in FW but does nothing for increasing player count. |

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. only stuff worth getting from the LP stores are the unique equipment and specialist proto weapons which have the betetr fitting reqs. will be worth running an FW booster too now, still not worth actually playign the matches though and just afk'in them but still. nice to get more reward Wrong with the hotfix its actually better to get proto suits, weapons and certain equipments for LP. Simply cause when you win you probs get around 1300LP even with low standings. Now with that you could buy 13 boundless republic HMG's (100LP each) which have a ISK worth of 47.200 ISK. So 13 of those HMG's would be equal to 613.600 ISK. And that is by far much more then you could earn in a regular skirmish pub match. Then you factor in that you could Q-sync 2 squads and you have a vending machine for proto equipment. However some stuff like shield extenders or armor plates are too expensive in the LP store compared to their ISK variants. Like a complex shield extender costs 75LP but only 4.500 ISK on the regular market. So combining cheap ISK items with proto suits and weapons from the LP store can be quite cost efficent.
