So.. be forced to wait for a lobby to show up, then hope we can join it before it fills, then wait in the warbarge for 5m before the match begins? And then do all of that with the exact same rewards as IB? Meaning we get less SP/ISK for our time than playing in IB?
No thanks, I'd rather protostomp newbs in militia gear all day.
CCP needs to give us a reason to play in FW, cause I'm sure as hell not gonna willingly force myself to play what is, essentially, an inferior version of IB. |

They just need to completely revamp the way FW works. Add standings with each faction that increase the rewards we get out of each game. Increase the amount of SP we get from each battle, to make it work fighting in FW over IB.
Change the way you look for battles. Honestly... the current UI for joining FW, seems good in theory, but really isnt that great. They just need to change it so its like IB, add 4 options... one for each race, and allow team queuing into FW only. Then increase the rewards you get for each battle drastically, to offset the expense of protogear, and make ISK/SP rewards based on merit (WPs) and not time spent in the game, making AFKing and running **** gear pointless.
Honestly, this is not rocket surgery here, and seems like it would be relatively easy to implement. Once you do that.. FW would be the most popular game mode played in this game. All the vets would team queue in FW and have epic battles. Corps would choose a race to fight for and its all or nothing.
No need for purchasable gear.. just a standings tab so that the more you fight for a certain race/faction the higher your ISK/SP rewards are.
ISK Rewarded = 100*WP*(1 + Standings/10000) -- Multiply by 4 if battle is won.
SP Rewarded = 3.5*WP*(1+Standings/10000)
Where standings ranges from -10000 to 10000.
Winning for your faction increases standings significantly.
Winning against a faction decreases standings significantly.
Losing for your faction decreases standings slightly.
Standing with a faction degrades slowly over time back to zero to renormalize due to inactivity.
Decrease Warbarge waiting time to 2m.
Now that would make me excited for FW. As it stands, its not worth bothering with it. |
