If we are allowed to pick sides in a storyline event like this, then I'd expect there to be some sort of faction standing effect because if I always played for one side, then I'm sure the otherside wouldn't like me too much. I would enjoy being loved by my faction and hated by the other where they wont even consider giving me a contract because my standing is too low. But I guess faction standing is an after thought and yes, just being able to choose a side is more important.

Con - it's not actually an event. it's the same old ****, unless of course i am a nerdy **** wit who cares about make believe stories about internet space soodiers pffffffffft

No point in playing the game if you don't care about what the game is about.
Its like me playing a batman game but i hate batman

What? I play games to have fun, why the **** would i care that mr x from planet x got into trouble with mr y from planet y?

I just wana shoot your ***** ass face

Pro-Awesome Sky Box
Pro Lore was very well done.
Pro- Eve players were also included
Pro-Made the battles matter more then ISK
Pro-Not really a big deal but if you played anything in Dust you get those suits.



Con- couldn't pick a side to play on.
Con if you werent on the right side most people would just try to ruin the match making it no fun if people were doing that.
Con-No isk bonuses for particpating in helping the war effort. Again this would only apply if we could pick our own side.


All in all a good set up and execution (No matches that sometimes didn't have the skybox, problems like that)
Most problems would be fixed if we could pick our own side.

CCP good job on this event but we really need to be able to pick the sides. I know it's coming but it better be soon or it will be quite pointless to play in these events.

So is the beta over yet then?

So because you don't care, suddenly no one else should? Typical ignorants who think they are the center of the world.

Thats like a guy going to a star trek convention dressed as chewbakka and saying to his friend:

"pffft look at all these ******* nerds".

Picking a side is coming next build. We will be using it for faction warfare battles and for any special events like this.

while right now y'all are rigging it so that the gallente win

I still dont know what fighting in these battles mean. So, when I play and win or lose....what happens?

see i'm not the only one who detected the oh so not subtle matchmaker rigging

really? i've ended up on the caldari side an awful lot and we won most of the matches we got dropped into

nothing but gallente matches, and the caldari all sucked
