I'm not sure if it was intentional or by accident but there seem to be far less Faction Warfare battles generating since the latest update. Can anyone from CCP shed some light on this?
Maybe the Eve pilots are too busy doing something else to bother plexing a system and if any of them are reading this, PLEASE for the love of God go plex some stuff so we can have more battles!
I think I remember reading a Dev post on here that said that the number of battles spawned on Dust was not directly related to the number of people PLEXing in Eve. What was meant by that was that one pilot plexing one system does not necessarily have to generate only one battle Dust-side in that system. The post went on to say that CCP would be monitoring the demand for Faction Warfare battles and would adjust the system as necessary. The only thing I have seen since has been a reduction in the number of battles being generated which is surely a step backwards in my book.
It's not just teams and Corps who like to play FW either, I've seen plenty of random NPC Corp players playing in FW battles because they like the fact that most of the battles tend to have a squad or two of Corp guys in them and they can get some good team play in as opposed to the general chaos that is a pub match.
So please CCP, make Christmas come early for this merc and generate some more FW battles! |

Who'd a thunk it.
It's actually based on demand for FW matches - the plexing just determines the location.
When a match is full for a bit, it generates a new one. The problem with this is that it sees matches with 31/32 players as 'not full' and doesn't generate a battle. This means when someone leaves a battle it interrupts the spawning of the next one.
At least, that's what I got from SoxFour. |

Yeah. But actually there are supposed to be more FW battles. Battles are generated by Dust. And Dust should get a battle as soon as the last is full or something like that. Plexing in Eve just determines where the battles take place.
But why do we have to wait half an hour then to see a single FW match? |

Eve side there are "mission complexes" that pilots can complete to get rewards and help capture the system. Running mission complexes is often referred to as "plexing"
edit - Tthere needs to be a severe overhaul of the system we have in place now. Luckily there is one on the way. |

At least, that's what I got from SoxFour.
Maybe something as simple as changing the requirement for a new battle to generate from the current 31/32 to something like 25 or 26 would be better? At least that way once one battle is around three quarters full another one will generate. Then I'm sure CCP would be worried that the battles would never fill up but I think they would fill up no problem, I would happily take a squad of 6 into a FW battle that had 26 players in it, provided there were 6 places on the same team of course, and there are times when I only have a squad of 3 or 4 and we could probably still join at 26 players as well.
I would really like to hear from CCP about the FW system though, even just to say "we are working on it and we hope to make the changes in Uprising 1.x". At least that would give us some kind of time frame for it. |

They've done that actually!

That's kind of useless for us FWer though how are we supposed to target key systems and help out our fleet if we cant even use in game mechanics to fight in the systems we need to. |

I would rarely see FW battles, even before FW.
FW needs a complete overhaul tbh. Players shouldn't be relying on the game to make matches, they should be doing it themselves. They should also be able to decide which districts to attack/defend. That way there could be some coordination between dust/eve. |
