Is there a legitimate effort and drive for people to actually team deploy to a game mode that they have no control over where they actually land, let alone the impact they actually have on Faction Warfare?
Why is this getting priority over something useful, like - I dunno - full item parity on the LP store to allow players to cover their losses -IN- faction warfare what with there being no ISK payouts?
When 5 friends and I can ROFLSTOMP an entire team. . . why do I need 10 more people joining me?
Even then, 5 friends and I have taken on a queue synch'ing deployed team of 12-14. Again, the skill difference between us was enough to make the game a joke.
Today was a rare sight, many people logged in for the first time, how many of them are going to stick around? How many people that played in FW today are still going to play later once they've gotten bored of it as the weapons, items, or suits they want don't exist in the LP store?
What happens when a 16 player team continuously loses because, they might have a full team but they don't have enough coordination to actually win?
They're either going to stop playing FW or switch to the winning side.
Did you see what happened in FW during the massive PC landlock where AE was running a "C'mon guys, try fighting us in FW" little player-driven event? People either switched sides to avoid them or tried taking them on and got crushed.
that's exactly what would happen with team deploy.
And that doesn't even matter. All because DUST has no barring of Faction Warfare. Rewards and easy matches are all people want when you can't choose to coordinate with EVE players. Just some random people that are willing to traverse dozens of systems to drop some OBs and get LP without any PVE or PVP.
Corp battles of yore are gone. CCP is terrible at saving data and don't keep backups, they just write over whatever they change. They can't bring those back because they'd have to start anew.
So do that. Push for a new mode in Special Contracts for these kinds of things.
Selecting the planet or specific districts to fight on would make the DUST/EVE link a meaningful thing.
Math is easy, you're just stupid.
