Hey all,
About a week ago, i posted this thread asking people to fill out a survey for factional warfare, and thanks to everyone, there was over 300 responses, so thanks a lot.
First to the results
How often do you participate in dust factional warfare?
More than 30 a week -----------36 - 12%
Between 20 and 29 a week-----22 - 7%
Between 10 and 19 a week-----59 - 19%
Between 1 and 9 a week--------150 - 49%
Never ------------------------------38 - 12%
Do you prefer playing Factional Warfare, or public games more?
Factional Warfare ------152 - 50%
Public matches ---------150 - 50%
this actually suprised me, the survey stayed at around 50% for the whole week
Given the choice, which empire are you most likely to choose to fight for?
Gallente -------------------------96 - 31%
Amarr ---------------------------49 - 16%
Caldari---------------------------58 - 19%
Minmatar------------------------58 - 19%
I choose a race at random--44 - 14%
didnt really suprise me, gallente is usually the most popular and amarr the least.
Is the empire you fight for influenced by your character's race?
Yes -- 178 - 58%
No ----127 - 42%
This did actually surprise me, i didnt expect so many where infulenced that much.
When you go for a factional warfare battle, do you try and find player orbital support?
Yes -------------------------------------------29 - 10%
No -------------------------------------------209 - 69%
Sometimes --------------------------------59 - 19%
I use my eve character for orbitals --6 - 2%
Have you ever seen a player (hybrid/laser/projectile tactial) strike in an Uprising FW match?
Yes - 92 - 30%
No -- 211 - 70%
See, i consider this an issue, its a very serious feature and only 30% of players have ever seen an orbital ingame. Something to think about
Do you like how accessible FW is compared to the previous build?
Yes ------------------------------------ 222 - 73%
No ------------------------------------- 55 - 18%
I was not in the previous build - 26 - 9%
Some people where confused abut this question, they didnt realise that Corp Matches, pre uprising where Factional Warfare.
There was also 2 text questions, one asking why they prefered FW or Public games and one asking for suggestions to FW.
A lot of the whys where relating to either the time it takes to get into a match, or regards to queue syncing in FW, a few where saying about how they like to RP that they are fighting for their nation and some felt that it was more purposeful.
There where also some really great ideas in the ideas box, some of the most common things where to make FW more rewarding like adding factional loot or simply better isk, one thing i liked was
Quote:Make the ISK reward completely dependent on whether your team wins or loses (but keep SP rewards the same) That way, players will be encouraged to put their team before their personal WP. You should see more dropships and objective defense this way.
another interesting idea was that someone wanted to fight as a soldier, not a merc
Quote:I would like to be able to join the FW corp as a soldier, not a merc. So in the corp battle finder tab, I would have the option to join the fight as 24th Imperial or the State Pro. Also as for further development, I want to see Fw planets fully accessable. To be able to drive from district to district with "gates" at corners or points. Possibly "corridors" in between districts that can not be contested. Have a station or barracks in certain districts that are fought over. Give us something to do when on the ground, maybe PvE type areas between districts.. salvaging modules, faction mods that npc mercs can drop.
A very common request was for simply more battles to be spawned and i honestly totally agree. Thanks again to everyone wh suggested stuff and yes, i did read it all.

Ideas and stuff
The CPM have been talking about various ideas to make PC better, while i cant share all of them, here are a few ideas i have had and i would love some feedback from people.
idea 1) - regards getting eve players more involved with FW
Right now largely FW eve players have no say and seemingly little interest in the FW of the dust players, and dust players mostly seem to have very little interest on who they fight for and where.
What if there was a way to allow EVE players to invest in the factional warfare events in a certain system?
For example. EVE corp A wants to flip a system, they invest x isk into that system for attacking. On the dust side, it becomes evident that that side which the EVE corp invested in will be paying out more compared to their opponents.
Meanwhile, EVE corp B which is trying desperately to defend the system can see that their enemies have had a investment, allowing for almost a bidding war to happen over who will offer the most.
This could be a short term idea leading up to eve corps directly paying dust corps to take districts.
