Eruditus 920 Prodigy Ops 559	Posted - 2014.10.14 04:38:00 - [2] - Quote FW ISK Event. Each player will receive 10% of the total cost of each fit killed. Meh, I doubt CCP could track it. I don't really need the ISK but they haven't had an ISK event while I've been playing and newbs might get into it which is good for the game. Can't really stomach friendly fire griefers, though. Edit: maybe 20% to make it worth it? Wisdom is what you gain after you need it.

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 8602	Posted - 2014.10.14 05:36:00 - [3] - Quote I have wanted to do one where we pit the Factions against each other. What I worry about is that one Faction will go into the lead and the others disband their efforts, or jump ship to be on the winning side. Any smart simple ideas?

How about something akin to a loyalty bonus? Fight a certain number of battles exclusively for a faction and your levels go up 2 tiers. Jump ship during the event and you don't receive as high of a tier increase. Try the new Planetary Conquest Mode!

Factions compete for individual goals (x districts conquered, y clones killed, z districts defended) every faction / player can 'win' but only for the faction that they played the most matches for. Not sure what to do for rewards though? maybe award a moderate/large value of standing per goal completed? Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
Viktor Hadah Jr Negative-Impact Gentlemen's.Club 5401	Posted - 2014.10.14 05:50:00 - [7] - Quote I'd be interested in a FW BPO tie in event, like get a kill with a BPO weapon or while where and BPO suit and get some sort of reward.

Would have included weapons, but kinda hard without Amarr or Gal heavy weapons. "When everything is OP, nothing is" - CCP Ratatti
Middas Betancore Kirjuun Heiian 66	Posted - 2014.10.14 07:39:00 - [10] - Quote Hmmm something like, get stuff for winning/killing with a single faction Your highest number of victories/kills in a single faction counts as your score Base it over a month, whoever makes the most starmap progress in each war (GvsC--MvsA) Gets a boost to their rewards Caldari wins 9999 districts, Gallente wins 56 So anyone with their score registered as caldari gets double rewards or a higher tier of rewards Same in the other war... So, the objective: Play Fw, get as many kills/wins for the side that u wish to support as u can. All players who take part get something yet there should still be a winner in each war. I think doing it in just wins instead of kills is better, encourages more organisation/teamwork, however it means players could just stomp and stop any more casual players claiming a reward. But if it's based on kills, even if they get stomped they can still get some rewards, but I can see too much foul play if it's based on kills. Maybe two rewards, something small for kills, something better for wins Rewards...Lets have some of the suits from the racial packs, state peacekeeper, fed marines etc, Faction specialist weapons Standings, LP is a bit moot as we will be playing a lot of Fw...I just think isk/sp is a bit lame...faction boosters I'll leave it there for now, hope it helps someone, il follow this and see if I can refine this or another idea Caldari Scout/Sent/Asst/Logi/Cmdo- Closed Beta Player Born, raised and trained under the shadow of Kaalakiota Corp HQ

deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 1008	Posted - 2014.10.14 09:41:00 - [14] - Quote I think you should do an officer weapon give away for the hardcore FW players once the new weapons are out. Many of us have switched to running factional more than 90% of the time and would like a chance to try them out. Something like 1 of each new officer weapon for every 10 victories with a single faction would be simple and encourage people to squad up and get out there in the FW arena. No matter what the prize I would recommend doing X reward per X number of victories for each faction. To combat guys like us Q-Sync steam rolling all day just set the cap per faction to a point where you can not cap out unless you run at least 2 different factions. Just whatever you do DO NOT make it based on kills or WP. Doing this would send the boosters in with full force and really break the entire game mode while they fluff their way to victory. Also basing on star map progression or district conquering would not work. The current contract generation system gives out FAR too many defense contracts once district ownership reaches a certain point. We figured this out the hard way over on the Amarr side and well, if that was not the case Gal would have probably just gone ahead and shut down the Caldari.

True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 13534	Posted - 2014.10.14 11:02:00 - [16] - Quote I think something like the most recent Sleeper Research event would be good. Something that directly displays a players dedication to a faction and willingness to sacrifice or do service for that faction. My suggestion is a LP turn in Event. Not something that directly pits one faction against another but instead would indicate to players and CCP the amount of support each faction has from its membership. During the 2 week course of this event players have the option to turn in their LP to their chosen Factions LP store. This goes into a total tally for eachs FW faction which is updated after the first down tim, then on the subsequent Fridays until the end of the event. During this time players are free to donate their LP. Each person who donates 1000 -3000 LP will receive a faction pack containing a set number of racial resources at advanced and prototype level. This pack is so that anyone who participates and contributes receives something. Higher thresholds are then opened up for more generous donations, each pack compounding for a total reward. Finally an overall reward is then awarded for the following 1.) The Faction that receives the most support gets a special commemorative reward 2.) The highest donating player/corporation from each faction receives a commemorative reward pack. Lore wise this could even tie into the Sleeper rewards as this is a representation of each Navies armed forces fighting for districts in which research can take place. Players can only receive rewards for one faction (the highest LP donated) thus making there no point to donate to other factions. "We were commanded to burn the system...We did.

Just sick of this community bastardising FW...... Not everyone wins. Nor should they. I can write up an RP post in an hour to give context to the event, but if there is to be an event I wholly believe it should be one that highlights and celebrates which faction has the highest support at this current time, be it Gallente or which ever else take the win. It may even be that the Gallente only have X people willing to donate their LP while Minmatar have twice as many. Per win does that same thing that you seemed to disregard in my suggestion, it rewards the already dominant and does not benefit the losing factions. If you didn't already know FW typically is a series of checks and balances always determined by player participation, faction with the lower participations earns less LP, has less options in the warzone, and generally is rewarded less for their activities. Thats just how it is. "We were commanded to burn the system...We did. I mourn the loss of the innocents caught in our fires" -Kador Ouryon

After all, your character's selected faction (during the character creation process) has never had an actual result before. Or when entering FW for the first time within the event period, have a faction picker where whatever faction you picked will be locked for the remainder of the event. I don't troll; I tell the truth.

What I worry about is that one Faction will go into the lead and the others disband their efforts, or jump ship to be on the winning side. Any smart simple ideas? My current leaning, and I'm tossing this up for the community to chew on and tell me how to make it better is to have two layers or types of reward present for the event. For simplicities sake let's name them. Goal Rewards & Play Rewards Goal Rewards - These would function like the MCC, likely be faction based, and determined by a collective metric at events end; e.g. most districts taken or most planets held, something macro level of that kind. Play Rewards - These would function like the weapon naming events, so more like the current sidearm challenge where rewards are earned via taking specific actions in match. This more granular reward set gives players a pay off for efforts invested regardless of the general faction outcome. Balancing these two rewards could be tricky, however within the context of FacWar I believe an obvious method presents itself. The Goal Rewards could be supplied in something like bonus LP, LP gear, or the like. This further could be somewhat granulated such that even the faction(s) which ultimately rank lowest in the event would still garner some degree of Goal Rewards. The Play Rewards by contrast could offer up extra SP per action (like sidearm kills do currently) a bonus increase to faction standing, or another more granulated reward. This second reward type would likely require a "applies only to your most played faction" clause, or something similar to it, and would be best if the action itself were flexible but directly faction linked - hypothetical example "kill a merc with an LP weapon from your chosen faction" <-- This idea will work much better with fully stocked LP stores... just sayin' Alright, enough out of me, fellow mercs, what are your thoughts here?

I mean hell I can write a dozen examples off of the top of my head. 1.) Articio Kor-Azor (current Chamberlain) has uncovered the remains of an ancient heirloom located on Auga that directly leads to the credibility of his Houses claims in a minor territorial dispute with a lesser Holder Family. 2.) The Theological Council have opted to raise a long dead martyr to the title of a Saint, as such they wish to recover the remains from his crypt on Ammamake to consecrate. 3.) Long held Amarrian system Eggelende is suffering from severe and wide spread guerilla attacks by TLF elements, bent on liberating the lawfully taken slaves of the Amarr Empire and hindering system wide operations. 4.) The Amarr have word that one of the Defiants/Bloody Hands of Matar is hidng out on a habitable world in Eyrtjegard, a strike team is readied to bring the man back to the Empire for sentencing and Justice. 5.) The Tash Murkon Household has been expanding it business contracts throughout the cluster, establishing offices in the Republic and State alike, a particular transport carrying sensitive product has been damaged by pirate forces and has crashed planet-side in Huola, the Amarr send a team to reclaim the Heirs lost product. 6.) In an attempt to stem the rising civilian casualties that have recently been reported due to Cloned Soldier intervention Imperial Guard Command has requested its operatives engage in defensive contracts to allow for successful evacuation of civilians after a long campaign in the Bleaklands. 7.) A routine TLF patrol has suddenly escalated into a full blown planetary conflict with the discovery of a former Imperial Research Outpost in Saidosairos, the Amarr seem intent on destroying the evidence of their activities and must be prevented from doing so. 8.) Refugees and Escapee's have broadcast a signal from an Amarrian Stronghold. A daring Raid is undertaken to secure the free peoples of the Republic. 9.) After a mission gone wrong operatives of the TLF are left stranded planet side making a desperate last stand defending against superior Amarrian number's. Victory would crush the Amarrian propaganda machine in this region. Failure could mean the loss of the system. 10.) The TLF is looking at capturing a Speaker of Truth investigating claims of Amarrian atrocities in the regions, in order to get a truthful verdict of the Speaker he must be secured and his findings made public. 11.) In the wake of the "Burn Huola Campaign" Matari forces on the ground have been trying to rebuild and repopulate their worlds, and are being subject to opportunistic attacks by Amarrian forces still able to deploy from hidden positions. Their most recent attack cost the Republic many lives. 12.) The Amarr are using a forward base in Raa to develop HAV. They must be stopped and True Adamance's hopes and dreams dashed to pieces.

Simplest one is to reward both sides. For example: - Wining one with SP or Standings(per each kill during the event until player reach his cap). - Loosing one with Loyalty Points or some fancy Suits(per each kill during the event until player reach his cap). Player may participate only in one faction during the event(he have to do 10 matches for one side of FW). Wining factions are those who get more wining battles. Gallente Speed Scout.

Refugees and Escapee's have broadcast a signal from an Amarrian Stronghold. A daring Raid is undertaken to secure the free peoples of the Republic. 9.) After a mission gone wrong operatives of the TLF are left stranded planet side making a desperate last stand defending against superior Amarrian number's. Victory would crush the Amarrian propaganda machine in this region. Failure could mean the loss of the system. 10.) The TLF is looking at capturing a Speaker of Truth investigating claims of Amarrian atrocities in the regions, in order to get a truthful verdict of the Speaker he must be secured and his findings made public. 11.) In the wake of the "Burn Huola Campaign" Matari forces on the ground have been trying to rebuild and repopulate their worlds, and are being subject to opportunistic attacks by Amarrian forces still able to deploy from hidden positions. Their most recent attack cost the Republic many lives. 12.) The Amarr are using a forward base in Raa to develop HAV. They must be stopped and True Adamance's hopes and dreams dashed to pieces. maybe keep it simple.. with an influx of new blood amongst the ranks of the warring factions morale is at an all time high causeing more bloodier and violent battleing throughout all of contested space.. They battle for Glory.. for power.. for freedom..for ideals.. many die.. and still they fight! ...Sometimes I wonder if people even care or want this game to be attached to EVE and New Eden..... in many respects I understand why EVE players are so unwilling to put meaningful FW conflict in our hands.... if players cannot keep up with my incredibly simplistic synopses of singular events how would they handle actually flipping districts? i dont know much but every one succomes to greed.. hence flipping and yes i play eve too but not recently but im just trying to work on the guts and mechanics side.. you could paste over most what ever story you want to but sadly i doubt many people will ever know/care or apresheate the story/lore behind the/an event [[LogiBro ADV/PRO]] [[Level 1 Forum Warrior]] [[Level 2 Forum Pariah]]

Get lumped into the faction on a side automatically. Matchmaking considers the value of your fit (using meta level) and whichever faction you use the most gear meta level from you fight for. Cannot change suit loadouts to a loadout heavy in another faction mid match. Each piece if rated by meta level. That number is already in game. Example: if you have 3 meta 8 items for Caldari on your fit, and 5 meta 3 items for gallente on your fit. Caldari meta level = 24 Gallente meta level = 15 You fight Caldari. You cannot change to a non Caldari meta fit mid game. Or maybe make it you can fight with allies (Gal/Min) vs (Cal/Ama). Only one playlist. You select faction war and go in automatically based on your fitting. Could be fun. Would force number splits between the sides.

Tier the prize system according to contribution: (Best prizes): Top 100 players in each faction (good prizes): Top 1,000 players in each faction (participation/token prizes): Everyone else (Overall win prize): Nothing too amazing, awarded to all participants of the winning faction. That way, good players will spread out. Instead of all joining one faction, some will say "Well those guys are going to be the top in Gallente, so if we go Minimatar we got a better chance at the top prizes". At the same time, it encourages a bit of flexibility. I might want to play Caldari all event, but if I got jump into a few Amarr games, ill qualify for the token Amarr prize. ill also bank a bit of boosted Amarr LP pay for the few games i divert. Of course, the numbers can be adjusted so that its competitive. Measure contribution by total amount of faction standing accumulated during the event. (Factional standing, not LP) The problem with "locking" someone to only one faction is that in the off peak hours they might not have much games. A better way would be to combine my suggested prize system with a incentives system. Factions with slow momentum could get supply drops to all their members along with a encouragement note (Minimatar is doing a push today! Here are 10 mass drivers and 10 repair tools). Could also receive a extra LP bonus ontop of the other one for certain periods. "This weekend is the Amarr offensive! The Empire is paying mercenaries 15% extra LP today to fight for it!" ect ,ect. I guess you could run the event over the course of a month.

Thats plenty of room to get a good reward. Also, by using factional standing as the metric, proto stompers couldn't switch factions, because they would lose standing in the faction they had just been playing for. It ensures the top players will stick to their factions, and most medium players will too, but casuals and low tier players can move around here and there and will still get rewarded for participating. Its only a question of prizes as incentives. If you make Prize 1 a package of officer weapons, most average players wont care too much on missing out on it, but most top tier players will aim for it. Then you make prize 2 a nice package of factional themed items. Prize 3 could just be a few random basic things, like modules, sidearms, equipment, ect. Also, dont forget, we are mercenaries. We can prop up pan-galatic empires for ideological reasons if we want, but we can also turn on them for ISK reasons if we choose to. That factor should never be written out of the equation. We aren't conscripts with a pledge of allegiance; We are soldiers of fortune.

There needs to be something in place to dissentize changing factions, thus why I suggested a stacking multiplier that restarts if you change factions. and 10k per match (up to 1m) would be 100 matches, a bit of a grind for 1 week, now if it was over a two week period it would be completely reasonable. I would rather it be a bpo than a stack of standard suits(something that i'll never use and would just take up more space in my gear list) but set the bar higher than just 10 matches for the bpo. would this (modus/black eagle) bpo be awarded to everyone who fought for the winning faction(s) (if so everbody would jump ship to the winning side) or would it be something just made available for purchase on psn? lp cal scout i demand it

How about something akin to a loyalty bonus? Fight a certain number of battles exclusively for a faction and your levels go up 2 tiers. Jump ship during the event and you don't receive as high of a tier increase. And/or jumping ship (to a non-ally faction) drops your standing down (x levels) for previous faction. If possible, what would be better is if we could pick a faction and get locked in for the duration of the event, and have a dedicated chat channel for each Faction where everyone participating is included. EDIT: Picking a faction does not have to mean you can only fight for that faction, but that you can only claim the reward from that faction. Yep

Then let us select the bonus faction reward at the end of the event. K, this is also kind of a good idea. But I'd prefer.... If the rewards are say, 3 tiers (with a certain reward each tier) plus whatever SP/LP/ISK bonuses are given. ie. (just for illustration) 25 Games Played = x amount of proto (faction) light & sidearm weapons 50 Games Played = x amount of proto (faction) dropsuits (all roles included) 100 Games Played = std (faction) dropsuit BPO with the rewards simply being for the faction that you fought for MOST. Win or loss shouldn't mean anything, this is an idea to get people into FW right? As to the bonuses, I'd say ISK+LP (not SP). This could draw in the players who don't participate in FW due to a lack of ISK payouts. SP+LP if you must, but if the idea is to get people playing FW I don't see why we need to attach SP to it. I say more SP for noobs, less SP for vets. Yep

For instance in these SP events noobs and vets should be rewarded differently, with vets* having a lower cap but gaining a bonus vanity item for their dedication to the game (there is much demand for these items I am seeing). This would really help the new players whilst not really penalizing the vets (do we really need MORE SP?) but instead recognizing them for what they are - the lifeblood of this game. *lifetime SP to be considered (I'd say 35mil+) Yep
