So tell me CCP, why should i fight, push, hack in FW when all my Calamari and amarrian bluberries are just sitting in the redline,and regardless of my efforts in end of the match i will get 195-205 lp?
I mean, in Pub matches at least , even if i loose and get my a** kicked i still make 350-450k isk. But in FW doesnt matter if i have 2000-4000 WP, i still get payed 200LP.
EVEN WHILE LOOSING , LP payout should be correlated DIRECTLY with WAR POINTS.
Example:
If i get 1000WP, then i get 500LP If i get 2000WP, then i get 1000LP
IF i get 1000WP and WIN, then i get 1000LP If i get 2000WP and WIN, then i get 2000LP.
(you can issue a LP cap. maybe 2500-3000)
AND SO, ON.

I have questions about FW and LP. I do want to try for one of the suits.
Am i only allowed to buy an Amarr suit if I fight in Amarr FW? How much LP will I get in a winning battle with 2000wp (rough estimate). How many games am I going to have to grind? Has it taken people weeks, a month, to get 1 suit?
I want something to aim for and something to spend my ISK on.

I want something to aim for and something to spend my ISK on. Each faction has their own LP. So yes you must fight for Amarr if you want to buy an Amarr suit LP is static no matter how much wp you obtain. LP increases with your standing in the faction I'm level 8 in Minmatar and get 2k lp (with booster). Apex suits are 100k lp, so at least 50 FW matches (winning matches btw) |

There's a similar disscussion on another thread
Gist is: q-sync or don't bother
Which isn't really keeping FW accessible

Maybe you'd be better off running pub matches rather than beating your head against the proverbial wall every match in FW.
Either that, or join a team and queue sync. |

I like how FW is setup. If you don't win you don't get much, that makes people put forth more of an effort to win. I've played a few FW that played just like a PC battle, that's the way FW is supposed to be. It's working the way it is, people just lack the effort or are too impatient to squad up and qsync.
Right now if I win a battle at level 8 Cal with no booster I can buy 10 proto suits or 15 proto weapons. If I play a pub match I'm lucky if I can restock 4 suits or 4 weapons from ISK payout. Not to mention if you throw on a booster I'm now at 22 proto weapons and like 15 suits. It's already highly beneficial to play FW.
For a loss at level 8 with 1 booster I can still restock 4 suits like I was playing a pub match.

LOL quit being a ******* scrub and squad up. You're playing solo and bitching about getting your head cracked. Believe me when I say this, I've lost like two battles in the last month for Caladari. Quit trying to play solo, I know you're a good player but that doesn't matter much when theres two squads in proto on the other side. SQUAD THE **** UP.

I understand that Teamwork is the way to go. In MAG KEQ was a powerful clan because of this. But BALANCE means a player should be able to play the game the way he wants, in a squad or solo. Like it or not, solo players have the same right to have fun than you do.
So dont tell me Squad the **** up. Because as a soultion is SO OBVIOUS, it doesnt apply as an advice. My point is other entirely.... n.n But thanks for participating in this thread.

AND SO, ON. i had a vaugely similar idea we get +75 LP ontop of the base LP per rank/level so why dont we apply that "bonus" to the loss LP too.. that way it promotes loyalty but also gives enough LP so we feel we are adequately compensated for our time

KEQ in MAG was a good clan but they did struggle to "play as a team" In Dust I prefer to just play solo but if I'm bored then I squad up and have fun instead of stomping the other team.
It seems that the good players are so desperate to win.

Well, like KC said it's hard to play if you're not winning as you don't get much for a loss. Perhaps a change is needed to motivate players to play more FW even if they do tend to lose. I'm all for whatever keeps DUST alive longer.

Or, the LP reward per match is reduced for winning and losing (to 65%), but each WP you get gives you 1 LP...I think that would work quite nicely

There should also be a benefit for holding more districts for your faction which is determined by your standing level. Also fighting for the opposite side should take away 2 matches worth of standing points and if you continue fighting it would go up exponentially. |

Numbers of districts mean jack **** in FW especially for the pilots we should be caring about.
I mean frankly it doesn't matter if Amarr owns 95% of the warzone DUst side if that 5% is focuses in the one system the Minmatar EVE players are plexing. In shot players are assuming that the region wide stats they are pulling out of their assess mean something instead of how focused the numbers of their districts in certain systems are.

Perhaps if there were four "official" static FW chat channels -say under the CORP chat channel - where players could "LFS" quickly and efficiently, there would be less single-berry players and possibly more competitive battles.

That's how it is in EVE.
You sign up to a militia and engage in their FW, and the FW of their allies (though you cannot shoot I hubs) . You gain access to a static channel and can work out of that. However most FW groups make their own channels anyway for one reason or another.
Hell back when EVE started Militias had to make their own channels for organisation like we Dusters are doing now.

Everyone here always says "Squad up!", but let's be real here. Squad finder sucks REAL hard. Most squads there are just squads of 1 player, and everything's at the whim of the squad leader that's just some random, and some them speak other languages.
Even if you LFS in your faction's militia channel, it can take a really LONG time to get into a squad. 10 minutes at least is expected. 20 minutes isn't unheard of. And that's ONTOP of the 10 minutes it takes to actually get into a FW match.
Ideally, FW should be the in between of PC and pubs. Squadding up should be expected. But Dust is not ideal. Playing solo NEEDS to be an option. No one is going to bother playing FW if that isn't the case, and FW is already hard enough to get into.

I even hate those squads who say *Mics only* I'm like well I do have a mic but just don't feel like using it, ever. Of course, there are those who make it a big ******* deal.
Those players think everyone should have a mic. Many times I just never use my mic because they'll always *****, moan, and complain. -_-...
My excuse is " I'm charging my mic." In reality I don't feel like using it. lol.

I gave up running FW solo a long time ago. If you want to solo it, stick with pubs, checkmate. You start giving out those kind of payouts and FW won't be much different than pubs, which nobody wants. High risk, high reward.
Good players on the losing side should be rewarded better but not this well. A small standings increase, maybe a bit more LP but not like you suggest, and not to reward solo play. Again, that's what pubs are for.
