Dear Players,

rooftop camping, equipment spam, and skirmish game modes are widely reported as less enjoyable gameplay than it could be.

We have been discussing internally and with the CPM, and before we start nerfing gameplay, we want to create "play - counterplay" situations. We also want to reuse existing game mechanics and we also want to create more "action packed" gameplay for solo and new players.

These are our ideas, not yet fully technically evaluated but in the realm of possibility:

New Orbital Strikes
Solo Flux - Very low WP, low impact, pre-hit that Objective you are going after, or rooftop camper
Solo Precision Strike - Low WP, tiny radius to blap a Tank or solo sniper, but if he moves you miss.
Squad Flux - Medium WP, Huge radius, resetbutton, eliminate all rooftop uplinks and deter spam. Logis will have to spawn in instead of slaying in Sentinels after deploying the early batch
Squad Precision Strike - High WP, The one we have, lowered WP, lowered radius
Squad Focused Strike - Very high WP, targets the enemy MCC for massive damage, go all out chasing that strike from second one, or turn a clone-out defeat into a narrow victory by lancing the MCC in the last seconds.

Now we also have a fun strategic element, do you progress up to the harder WP Strikes, or "spam" the lower ones. Not having only one choice will provide massive changes in gameplay.

On top of that, lower signature profiles of equipment based on tier. Want to hide that Uplink, use a proto type as normal passive scans won't see it. EWAR will be much more about intel than cloaked scout slayers.

What about spy uplinks, that you can't spawn on, but give a passive scan of various precision and radius?

Combined with improved scanners, the predictability of the battlefield will be much less, much more focus on quality, not quantity. That uplink farm won't survive.

Thoughts welcome, none of this is set in stone, but shaking up the meta is absolutely necessary every once in a while Pirate

I like your ideas, but I have a question:
What about Eve orbitals? Any changes for this orbitals strikes or you keep the same game play?
I propose that it is possible for capsuleurs too to make too squad focused strike if they use a battleship with large gun.
I like all your ideas, but I want to seize the opportunity to improve the interaction Eve/dust for orbital support.

Alena Ventrallis Vengeance Unbound RISE of LEGION 2104	Posted - 2014.11.03 07:03:00 - [5] - Quote A few questions: Are these OBs proposed going to require a squad, or can solo players get access to them? Does flux imply that they do no armor damage, or simply don't do as much damage as the precision strikes? Is it possible with the current system to simply allow warbarge strikes to vary based on player choices? For instance, instead of always being a default hybrid strike like now, can I as a squad leader decide whether to use a hybrid strike, laser strike, or EMP strike? Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 1508	Posted - 2014.11.03 07:13:00 - [7] - Quote Been hoping for something like this for forever. So many times I've seen an uplink spammed rooftop/building and just wished I was playing FW with a friendly pilot on voice so I could hit a roof with a single EMP shot. Only problem with this and it comes from FW experience - with 'hybrid' style strikes, you generally don't need more than five turrets to kill stuff dead. With laser strikes, anything over four turrets can be pretty excessive. With the Projectile EMP strikes the fact that they can't kill anything really means you generally don't need more than one turret. Would rather see it organized as: Tactical EMP: Low WP cost, low shot amount (2-3) mainly used for clearing equipment. Tactical Laser: Medium WP cost, Moderate shot amount (functions as though there were say 5 turrets), High damage, short duration for concentrated target busting. Tactical Hybrid: High WP cost, massive shot amount, longest duration, biggest total lethal area. For clearing things right out. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Sgt Kirk Fatal Absolution 8210	Posted - 2014.11.03 07:29:00 - [11] - Quote I don't know where to begin agreeing with this. This is absolutely fantastic and I love every word I read. Solo Strikes are perfect and allow the solo player to at least have some more of an effect on the battlefield, also good for clearing out constant filthy rooftop campers and spam (which is not a bad thing in itself but It's just way too common) The idea of Higher tier strikes for the cost of more WP is a fantastic idea that will definitely shake up the gameplay as you said. The idea of being able to impact the MCC again makes me shiver, this is the part I love especially. The Squad Focused Strike will probably be my favorite, you should also give some extra WP for the Squad that gets a strike that destroys the MCC, just a thought. I love the idea of Scanning UpLinks but are we going to change the name of them? SigLinks, ComLinks or IntLinks? The idea of having two Uplinks in the game with very different functions would probably get a little odd. More odd than people calling me out on using the Allotek Nanohive even though the Repair/Armor Variant of the Nanhohive is Gallente....How in the world did I ramble off to this point? I digress. In Summary I love every single idea coming out of this thread and would love to see everyone of these make it into the game. CCP holds the Caldari's hand so this doesn't happen again.

Gabriel Ceja Knights of Eternal Darkness League of Infamy 64	Posted - 2014.11.03 07:53:00 - [13] - Quote This is a very fun and awesome idea that brings a more tactical game play including making the leader role more interesting. As for whether they should progress to higher strikes or not I think it should be to the WP your squad has accumulated that way they have to make a more decisive choice of saving up for the big strikes or using the smaller ones throughout the match. Also for the leader when opening up the war barrage menu there should be somewhere within it the current amount of WP available to use for a strike "Throw on the flux capacitor." activates fuel injector "WOOOOOO!!!"
Spectral Clone Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3002	Posted - 2014.11.03 08:20:00 - [14] - Quote I just love the concept of blapping the enemy MCC. Still don't like the concept of orbitals being WP based, it should require team play to set up a strike. Crazy idea: Create a special drop uplink used only for orbital strikes. It should be fragile and easily destroyed by a flux grenade. When the uplink is on the ground, it starts syncronizing and counting down a timer until the EVE pilot (AI or player) can drop a strike. Only at the position where this uplink is placed at. EVE: Legion, also known as: Schroedinger's Game, EVE: Limbo, or just "Not-a-game-yet".
JIMvc2 The Wanga Empire Strikes Back 353	Posted - 2014.11.03 08:22:00 - [15] - Quote I agree on that. I solo most of the time but when I play with my friend we get overall at a average of 1500 - 2000wp. I lile the idea of low wp = Low Orbitals. With the 5k for 1 OB was way too high that even 8 out of 10 matches = no OB for both teams. Will this apply to all: Ambush, Public Dom Skirmish, Factional Warfare, and PC ? MAG Raven vet 7 times.

Indy Strizer Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 171	Posted - 2014.11.03 09:21:00 - [19] - Quote I would really love these to be added to the game, all great ideas. Although I really love the idea of spy uplinks, I feel there are more than enough scans in the game. I'm afraid it is one more nail on the coffin that houses the corpse of old school squad flanking. Please keep it up, I am especially happy that you're refining the e-war, although I'd really like it if you gave people some defensive E-War options because it seems like I'm constantly getting scanned unless I'm in a scout suit- maybe make an active scanner variant that is an active dampener- point it at squad mates and they get temporarily dampened for flanking maneuvers or rushes and such...

Another thing, terrains tend to "eat" equipments, is it possible to increase the size of equipments or make them hover over the ground? With my friend FOTM Duke

Question about the squad flux, whats with the "logis will spawn instead of sentinels?". Logis tend to stay logis, when heavies want te get in fast and need uplinks placed people dash in with scout suits/ light suits, shtogun for a bit, and switch out to heavies once killed, or just pull up in an LAV. Balancing to keep people out of heavy suits....thats a bit odd. Spy uplinks, ultimately useless for logis. Why should i spend my slots on a spy uplink which benifits no one interms of WP or spanws, and just carry a scanner and an uplink which works much better in terms of WP, intel, and team support. I wouldn't wast resources on this. everything else is pretty interesting, forge gunners will be blown to smitherings, and the sheer amount of orbitals generated by a full squad of my buddies, it will be non stop.

The Eristic Dust 90210 652	Posted - 2014.11.03 11:05:00 - [23] - Quote Flux strikes would drop enemy shields, too, right? Would be fantastic for assaulting sheltered areas where the enemy can dig in, like the supply depot on Gallente Research. Simultaneously soften them up and eliminate their equipment support, then push in to finish them off. Reality is the original Rorschach. Verily! So much for all that.
Spankdamonke Dapper Gentlemen Corporation 34	Posted - 2014.11.03 12:07:00 - [24] - Quote I love the idea, been wanting something like this for ages. One question though...would there be any cooldown on the strikes? Or would one theoretically be able to continuously spam the lower WP varieties. Because I could see that as a potential problem

Alena Ventrallis Vengeance Unbound RISE of LEGION 2104	Posted - 2014.11.03 13:07:00 - [27] - Quote Another question. What is a "focused strike" as opposed to a "flux strike"? Are all 3 orbital types represented? Is it possible to drop a WP earned laser strike under this system? In the same vein of the previous question, could we have 7 different orbitals to represent all orbitals? (3 solo EMP, hybrid, laser, 3 squad EMP, hybrid, laser, and MCC killer) Will solo strikes be deliverable by the individual if they are in a squad, or does the squad leader retain the ability to drop any OBs the squad earns? I feel that giving everyone the ability to drop OBs in a squad will lead to blueberries with no comms using up all the squads WP on solo strikes for themselves. Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

First you nerf the balls off of the asset I sunk 4 million SP into and now I can't clear rooftops, and then you come up with a beautifully elegant solution for infantry to clear rooftops without having to be dependent on having a vehicle specialist on their team? I don't know whether to hate you or love you and my poor heart can't take it. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector

Squad Precision Strike - High WP, The one we have, lowered WP, lowered radius So is the solo precision strike more powerful than the strike we have right now? Because the current Precision strike cannot really blap a tank. Even if the tank isn't moving and you aim the strike right on it, it can get off it fairly easily without taking too much damage. If you nerf the radius even further, it will really only kill tankers that intentionally sit still in the strike or are stuck on terrain. I would recommend upping the damage on the strike if you're going to lower the radius. Feline overlord of all humans - CAT MERC n+ÅS¦¦Gùò GÇ+GÇ+ GùòS¦¦n++
