GLOO GLOO Algintal Core Gallente Federation 217	Posted - 2012.10.08 15:08:00 - [1] - Quote Hi devs and all, I understand basics : a corporation put X ISK to take a contract. Another one need to put X ISK too to accept it. Then, it appears on the Battle Finder --> Corporation, and we have a meet at a fix time to launch the game. Now, how does it work IG ? CEO and directors have another link under "My Corporation" --> It's "Corporation Contracts". You click on this link, and you have 6 menus on the top left. Corporation Contract : empty All Factions : 4 lignes Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar : 1 ligne per menu. So you go on "All Factions", and here you've got a list editor. You can look for all contracts between 100,00 ISK and your corp wallet, and the start time (well, this point is not interesting here, only the ISK are) Here's my question : If I take a 3M ISK contract, how an other corp is suppose to find mine ? Be lucky with filter editor ? (because on ly 4 lignes appears) It will appear on "Corporation Contract" ? (I don't thing so because we're not holding any planet) It is suppose to appear on the Battle Finder --> Corporation ? (don't thing so because no one accepted the contract) Well, I'm pretty sure to have the answer, but I need it to be confirm : we need to have an understanding on the forum for the moment ... Thx, GLOO GLOO

The filters set a minimum value for time / reward so it will show a limited number of results above that value. Once both sides have accepted a contract, an 8 v 8 skirmish battle will start at the scheduled time and will only be available to those 2 corporations.

GLOO GLOO Algintal Core Gallente Federation 217	Posted - 2012.10.08 15:42:00 - [3] - Quote Well, it sounds good for the contract finder. Thanks you for the answer. But a skirmish 8vs8 on a 5 pts or less ? I understand that you're still testing and working on your game, but we are afraid to be lost like in battlefield on PS3 ... Well, at least we'll test it in a moment !!!

CCP Nullarbor C C P C C P Alliance 540	Posted - 2012.10.08 15:46:00 - [4] - Quote The 8v8 restriction is mostly because we have smaller corps who may not be able to field more than 8 players at this stage in the beta. We will absolutely be iterating on having different corp battle sizes, but we really want to just start exercising this feature with as many corporations to begin with. Expect to see changes to the size and maps used for corp battles.

GLOO GLOO Algintal Core Gallente Federation 217	Posted - 2012.10.08 16:00:00 - [5] - Quote It's not the 8vs8 point I'm concerning of. I understand your technical needs to perform DUST. It's the Skirmish 5 points (ABCDE) that I was thinking about. On Plateaus 4 points, why not, but a Communication, Biomass or the new one 5 points, we'll be lost in space. If we could choose an ambush, it will be nice to have more action. Well, we took one for 16h28 GMT, so if someone reading here is interesting, we'll be there !!! Wait and see Edit : I forgot the 3 points in the moutains.

Expect to see changes to the size and maps used for corp battles. This is kinda stupid. Please "iterate" quickly. The data you'll get from 8v8s will be essentially useless for anything except server stress testing.

CCP Nullarbor C C P C C P Alliance 540	Posted - 2012.10.08 19:17:00 - [8] - Quote Actually it will be very helpful to see how the scheduling and district control system works. As well as the link to faction warfare on the EVE side. We have our eyes on the logs and the forums to see what things might come up and what suggestions players have to improve it.

I have accepted a defense contract, count-down was 24 hours 41 minutes at this time. But even now, the time doesn't update. Isn't it supposed to count down? For some reason, when I lookup the contract in the battlefinder menu, there is a [PENDING] displayed in red next to the contract. Is there any more action required on our side or the attackers' side?

GLOO GLOO Algintal Core Gallente Federation 217	Posted - 2012.10.08 23:15:00 - [11] - Quote After 3 Corp Battles try, here some points : 1) Sync system : don't really understood how did it work. We were more than 8 in Corp Channel. Some of us wasn't playing, wasn't in a squad, didn't launch any Battle Corp in the Battle Finder after cooldown, and they had been launch into War Room. Don' t realy know how the system choose the Mercs that gonna be on the field BUT it does work... 2) Like it has been said in another thread, 5 pts maps are not well fit for 8vs8 battle. 3) ISK contract system : the faction employed us to take control a part of their empire and they don't refund us with anything ? No ISK, no SALVAGES ? Only colateral that won't refund corp lost if it's not a big big contract... 4) Server stability : need to work on it. Don't know how your servers works, but against some team it's just impossible to play. I saw 2-3 FPS IG non stop. We just quited it after 2 min. Well, on the good way, step by step

Ani X United Pwnage Service RISE of LEGION 58	Posted - 2012.10.09 19:49:00 - [13] - Quote The corp-battle just disappeared The corp-battle I've mentioned earlier in this thread... today the countdown was at 25 hours, 41 minutes (exactly one hour more than when I have accepted the contract last night). There was still the "PENDING" status in red color next to it. Next time I logged into, the corp-battle didn't show up at all. Did anyone play a corp-battle?
