I hope the timers will allow for more fluid fighting.
With a platoon or team deploy UI you'd be able to logistically handle more than one or two teams fighting for your corporation at once. Getting PC past the very best 16 available to fight their 16 very best is vital to expanding the number of players involved in PC.
Perhaps having 8 v 8 battles happen quickly upon attacking a district, providing some sort of tactical advantage in the main assault/defense on the main timer? I don't want it PS2 style, wake up and everything is gone style but having more spontaneity would be better than 24-48 hr lead times.

Should be noted, that something like I've mentioned above has always been frowned upon by more elite mercenary style corps, but it sounds like these war barges will allow organizations like those to potentially thrive without concerning themselves with land ownership.

If we are upgrading a warbarge, then it makes sense that you can build one up to make it last longer, move faster, etc. On the other side, if you own a district, being able to upgrade your district base has appeal.
Agreed, but if upgrading districts at this stage happened it may lock everything down. I think they should be careful until there's more participation in PC.
All these things sound great, but I can't help thinking about AE or TP having 40 districts fully upgraded with beast mode warbarges. Without the current timer mechanics being changed up these things will seemingly lead to more thorough ass whippings by small elite groups.

Yeah, I didn't catch the personnel warbarge part. This only leads to an even smaller amount of players in PC.

Yes, yes, yes.
Creating another ISK and SP sink probably cuts down on the number of players who play PC now.
I hope this point becomes clear before they release this.

In my opinion making these attackable in Eve would be a TERRIBLE idea. There's just not enough interest overall for there to be the type of Eve support necessary to protect such assets.
You'd end up needing every single Dust interested Eve pilot fighting together to make PC possible.

Stronger corps in the game are the silver bullet when it comes to player retention. New UI such as corp adverts and finders should help tell new players about player run corps and the benefits they have over the NPC ones.
I know I'm speaking for the rest of the CPM when I say we're looking forward to your feedback on all this.
Perhaps it hasn't come out yet, but the mechanics holding back PC for the longest don't appear to be changing. If anything these additions in my opinion take some of the more casual players out of PC.
As much as I get to play PC currently due to RL stuff I don't see myself diverting my skill queue to personal warbarge and and associated skills.

Battles shouldn't happen from thin air, you should be required to move your forces. 1. PC districts are attacked and then the timer counts down which can be 1 day and 12hrs and 37min to battle 2. For all you know that is how long it takes to organize the clones in the warbarge and move to the attacking district
Adding more complexity to attacks is not a good idea in my opinion.
We want more people in PC. It can get more complex as it evolves.

At the same time talent pooling is a very real and problematic part of planetary conquest even today. One of my concerns is that by giving 'corp-wide' bonuses to compel people into corps you could very well end up with a stronger incentive for the 'elite' to all just aggregate into one super corp.
This is easily addressed by making battles spin up sooner. Super corps would find it a better idea to focus on dominating smaller swaths of territory. In my view, corporate rankings would increase dramatically with winning percentage. Leading to huge rewards by maintaining the amount of land relative to what they could respond to quickly enough to keep winning.
This would necessitate a UI for team/platoon deploy though.
Imagine being able to team deploy FW, your corp getting attacked. You have 20-30 minutes. You simply finish the battle and take that team to defend your district.

You'd end up needing every single Dust interested Eve pilot fighting together to make PC possible. If you give the things the HP of a POCO, and all attacking it will do is put it into reinforced (offline bonuses), it will provide an option of EVE-side of Dust/EVE Alliance to disrupt operations, but not making it "worth it" for random douches to be interested. Frankly, even I wouldn't grind that HP and I'm the rare breed that actually cares about EVE/Dust support. But at least there's a actual object that expands on the connection between games.
I do like the idea of it, but I think that needs to happen further down the line.

More than 16v16 matches
Not sure if that alone would push those not currently involved to jump into the mix plus I'm highly skeptical of the game performing well on this hardware with any additional players per match.

Yea, the PS3's would probably melt or the game would need TiDi, lol. However, it would promote mass recruitment, or, rather, push people to #sMERGE corps. ;)
Just like we were talking about on Skype. They could easily make it so small elite groups can still crush folks and get rich without crowding out >90% of the playerbase.
Getting people in corps and involved socially is a much bigger hook than getting face stomped in pubs deploying solo over and over again.

That is a key goal of allowing people to generate clone packs through tho system. To reduce the entry barrier significantly.
But one of the biggest complaints from those that have tried PC is the wait around for 30 minutes and not get chosen. A fight or two every other day isn't going to change much. On a given scale it'll still be the best 16 vs the best 16. It won't put any strain on the status quo.
Timers, timers, timers.
Have I mentioned that timers are one of the biggest things holding PC back?

Timers are critical for allowing players accomplishments to mean something, and not requiring the people managing for their corp to have to eat, sleep, and breathe the game 24/7. That being said, some reasonable adjustments to timers are well-warranted, and I heavily advocate making it impossible to squat 50 districts in the 1200 UTC timer.

A lot more corps being able to afford a lot more clone packs regularly means holding districts DOES become a lot more work. There will be a lot more corps in play, and a lot more battles on the schedule. The same 16 people won't be able to be in every match all the time, especially since this system should help reduce alt corp locking tactics as well.
We've got nearly two years of evidence saying I'm right. You give people 24 hours notice and something worthwhile to fight for and it'll be the best 32 ISK can buy.
Locking is a reaction to getting beaten or to protect yourself from getting stacked timers. In other words a work around for mechanics that lend themselves to small elite groups.

It's pretty simple. You have a small minority of the playerbase with lots of ISK and SP that are hardened in the ways of PC. You have very little interest in PC from the vast majority of the playerbase.
Introducing something that the vets will jump on to make themselves more powerful helps increase participation how?

Expand beyond Molden Heath
It's currently to crowded with many corps opting out of pc because the current setup allows donuts to stomp out any chance to compete.
Implement a contract system
Eve could make better use of dust if there was a contract system. An eve pilot should be able to hire mercs of their choosing to take over a district for resources. Dust mercs should be able to set a price on themselves if they want to ring for money. This game should revolve around a contract system to get every type of player into pc/fw.
A sandbox battle that allows for more interesting outcomes.
The option to drop installations has been in the game as long as I can remember. Dropping installations like null cannons, turrets, scanners, null cannons, etc would initially be enough to give battles a sandbox feel. Districts could have a bandwidth limit for installation drops and installations should have a module layout.
There's a lot of good flushed out gamemodes made by players for pc that would work a lot better than skirmish. Balancing a game-mode where there's one attacking mcc is what the players want even if it's not "fair". Not every battle needs to be large as well, districts should range from defending a small, medium, or large socket with player counts that fit.
PC is anything but crowded out.
I've mentioned hundreds but when it's really humming and the big boys are active it's dozens of players that make things happen. This is not an exaggeration. 32 of the top AE players at their peak is enough to wipe you out. If they had an OH or a TP helping them they could wipe out any organization in a little more than a week.
Once you remove a single corporation's districts they are either getting ferried into battles or buying clone packs. Unless they are certain they can beat an A team of one of those corps they aren't likely to attack anybody because the lesser corps will just contact one of the elite corps and repel your attacks.
Without timer changes to bring spontaneity this changes nothing. And I'm not talking about everyone waking up and everything is gone. I don't want that either. I'm saying something more in the middle.

You talk to me like I haven't been involved in multiple wars over 1.5+ years. Over the last few months KEQ, FA, and ML has tried to give away districts to get corps involved. Random Gunz, Dead Man's Group, and that's about it have become involved.
Adding in something to make the current groups of players more powerful will be WORSE than allowing 80 Mil SP players in the Academy. Anyone with any actual experience in PC that denies this is just simply trolling.
You've made multiple jabs at my corp in this thread. I'm not pointing out my fears out of paranoia of what it may or may not mean to ML. I'm pointing them out because I want to see PC as something a majority of the playerbase strives to participate in. Not a few dozen elite players slapping everyone around.

This will mean a LOT more fights will occur, as the cost to initiating them will be much lower. And with so many additional attacks constantly, corporations will have to think twice about what they can afford to hold.

And if you'd actually done something with your alliance over the last few months you'd know that this big, blue donut has been trying to give away districts to groups like yours. But obviously you aren't interested. I can only guess due to the current mechanics you are defending.
If you can't give away districts HTF is a warbarge generating clones going to make groups like yours interested?

You need to answer this, and create a proper risk/reward structure that actually gets people interested in participating before going any further into balance and system design.
You could spend months designing a pretty game mode but if no one has a reason to participate its all for naught.
You are right about that, but I'll argue that finding a way to force corps to reach for their team C and D is vital to introducing more players into PC.
If you don't address that it'll just bring back more of the elites and they'll just pistol whip everyone again. Without the ability to lock or work around the mechanics it'll just be the same dudes bitching about being tired of fighting each other every night.

To me it's easy to give a district a window. You can upgrade it for stronger defenses thus allowing the window for attack to be smaller.
Unless you are an idiot you'd set the timers for your corporation's active times. CCP could make certain times used for hiding districts not available (during obvious inactive times for all of Dust). This is the easiest way to ensure that small groups can't control too much land no matter how good they are.

You need to change the whole timer model. Make timers cover much larger periods and make attacks happen within 1 hour etc so you can build a team that's online and launch an attack knowing who you have as well as knowing you won't always be facing the same 16 die hard guys that had 24/48 hours of notice to prepare and get any necessary ringers. Also, Thor's points about involving B/C teams in PC via new mechanics would breath some fresh life into PC. Districts should flip more and battle lines be more fluid and those are the teams that should bring that to life instead of A team fighting the same A team time and again.
I really don't understand why more people don't see this. Just not enough people with interest and knowledge of how PC has played out.
Dust would really, really thrive if more people tasted some level of success in PC. I think it would help pubs too as more people would spend time doing PC. Some more fluidity would ease some of the stress of single battles too. As it stood with passive ISK a few losses would destroy corporations. Making it more about campaigns than single battles would help that situation.

Most people I play with want to spend their time playing with people they are communicating with. I wish 90% of my time in Dust were matches free of random blueberries.
Spontaneous, frequent matches as a team would be amazing. I think a platoon/team building UI of some form is necessary for something like this to really take off. It gets to the point you feel as though you are herding cats when putting a PC together and even worse when syncing.

This will mean that a corp that can reliably field a team 24 hours a day can hold 24 districts. If they want more than 24 districts, they'll need to be able to field 2 teams for at least one timer. If they want to sleep, then they can probably hold 12 districts, etc. This will greatly reduce land hoarding and open up land for smaller corps.

Actually it would open it up for corps without (32) 6+ KDR players to grow their numbers and participate albeit with a different strategy than those small elite corps.
Without changing the timer mechanics you keep the power in the hands of a select few. And really the thing that's always stopped those groups is getting burnt out. A change in the mechanics of the timers benefits everyone.
Low payouts ensure that only the best are running decent gear.

Considering how much war barge components cost through aur it's a very very poor exchange rates especially if I'm receiving only standard weapons instead of experimentals. what gives? believe this should be fixed or I'm not claiming any of those weapons anymore.
I agree that it's needed, but here are some tips for finding your stuff.
1. Roden Sniper Rifle, can only be found in the fitting menu when looking in your assets to fit a different weapon
2. Dropsuits, officer suits drop from the lab. Go to Light->Scout, Medium-> Logi & Assault, Heavy-> Sentinal & Commando. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of each that's where you'd find the officer suits.
3. Sidearms, it also drops officer sidearms |

It is very obvious that you guys want info on the future update and you shall receive - soon. Warlords 1.3 development is doing great, and we are happy where it is right now. We are just getting into final stretch with it, and then will start revealing it to you all. Silence can be frustrating, but sometimes it is well wort the wait. Looking forward to you finshing the final stretch I just hope the plans were not changed when CCP Rattiti went to iceland for a month.
I think you hit the nail on the head. When he went to Iceland it all went south. |
