DUST Search - Solutions for Faction Warfare's Problems

That's a start, but it still doesn't fix the root of the problem: the players.

FW is, almost always, a stomp for one side or the other. Once one side starts stomping, squads from the other side leave, and the stomping gets steadily worse.

I've tried (and so far failed) to help kickstart a remedy by making a dedicated FW corp- the idea was to try to keep things even with a dedicated squad on both ends, but I just can't get the support for it.
For the record, I hate the idea of being a CEO, but I refuse to leave until someone else (who's competent) wants to take over.

I think, to remedy this, CCP needs a way to encourage players to form and join dedicated FW corps- perhaps give the option to align yourself to a faction, and give rewards based on that.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a corp FW standing- whenever you gain standing for a faction, your corp's FW standing with that faction increases, and everyone in the corp gets an LP bonus from that.

Thoughts?

Losing side needs more lp for putting up a fight.Losing side players that hold a letter or fight within its bonus area should get more lp than those that fall back to the red line (above the 260 lp for losing)All hail Max Singularity the factions are using us with out due pay!

What if the new modes acquisition meter was part of the UI of the mercs screen for each merc of what they did in the battle and at different levels of the meter rewards were given at the end of the match so player would fight to fill up the meter for the rewards in addition to the lp which could be adjusted based on the height of the meter.

What if the HERO got the LP Reward as a Win so Blues would be fighting to get the Status in the match even if they are losing. I would advise to be cautious with this idea. I do see the potential it has to encourage players to stay as a group and work together, but at the same time there has to be limits imposed on where this can be allowed to be effective. We would not want anyone to be gaming this mechanic in the redline. If the limit is to make the HERO feature enabled outside of the redline, you would need CCP to implement a change in the UI to include where exactly does YOUR OWN redline end. As of right now we can only see where the redline ends for the enemy but not our own. We can make a guess right now on where our own redline would be, but that is prone to human error where you thought you were outside the redline but later found out your were a few meters into it. I can see that error being the common source of frustration later on if implemented. But overall, imposing such a limit will require a UI change and ultimately a client update which makes the idea unnecessarily complicated. An alternative limit would be to have the HERO feature enabled when close proximity within an objective. At that point, you just have to ask yourself which objective you would enable it by. Your own objective that you are defending or the enemy's objective which you are trying to capture? This would be easier to implement as it would not likely require any UI change if I'm not mistaken and it seems like something that can be implemented server-side where CCP has more direct control over.

Eve has lots of skills that affect taxes and payouts for missions. I see no problem with this. From what I understand, CCP can implement new skill books without needing a UI change and thus can make it done server-side. And you are correct that Eve Online has plenty of skills that affect payout from missions. Eve Online Invite https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=ed64524f-15ca-4997-ab92-eaae0af74b7f&action=buddy

What if you are having to wait a while for the RDV to drop off your HAV because for some odd reason the RDV pilot is taking his sweet time to press the release button while you are waiting in the redline for it? Suddenly, before you get a chance to board your expensive HAV, you get auto booted to the front lines and see some blueberry bastard steal your ride while you're way up front.

While I agree with the first point you made, I don't agree with the second point because it defeats the whole purpose of having a safe zone to spawn in case you ever get redlined.
