Pretty sure they already stated that changes in the warzone, and various events that pop up, would have an effect on what new things were released, to who it went to first, and even whether some sides would get a thing at all.

Yeah and Im sure thatll happen

Exactly. become a group leader and tell me why should I care? Create the story and narrative to push enemy. Itās a sandbox. Players create stories. Not devs.
Does current FW has any of this? No. Yet we get stuff like this:(Reddit - Dive into anything
Reddit - Dive into anything).
If you canāt generate goals for yourself, kindly, go away from sandbox game and play something like idk. wow where hand holding and spoon feeding content is a thing. We donāt need and donāt want that here.

Geographical landscape changes as far as I understand not just in low but the whole eve universe.
Current FW, as well as FW for the past decade, has been stagnant and recieved little change. Pretty much every FW pilot wants some more attention paid to the system. And for your info, I want this narrative gameplay. Lots of people do. If you donāt like it, do something else.

CCP Aurora, you said it was easy to limit implants in Novice plexes. Just do it. No meta 9 implants in novices. Other sites we can discuss but Novices, just do it.

Eh, that oneās easy enough for them to do. Theyāve done it already. Player actions determined which T3D came out first, for example.
I think the better question is: Is it even possible to actually win, or will it always remain a tug-of-war over the same exact systems that none of the empires will ever secure? I mean, cāmon, Gaven, how many times have you guys had to put up with the āpendulum gamesā criticism? Wouldnāt it be nice for victory to be victory, and not just āweāll get you next seasonā?

Ah I actually completely misread that one, I assumed it was about borders and such.
Doh
If somewhat bling fit pirate frigs, and decent pilot, against standard T2 frigs, most definitely.
Lvl 4 missions, Incursions, Abyssal sites, etc ā¦ is this way ------> ā¦
Pvp specific content should not have to concern itself with the needs and wants of farmers.
Weāve had ENOUGH of that spoiling the wargame we all wanted to play since the begining.
So tired of roaming around and wasting my time for hours on end with farmers everywhere, populating our plexes and just logging in to avoid content and to deny it for others.
Kindly ā ā ā ā off, basically.

Yeah thatās my point. Pirate ships donāt really quite match up to most T2 ships.
But they do.
It really depends on the match-up.
I can melt a long range fit retribution in my shield buff dramiel, and I could also out-dps a pulse laser fit in a blaster daredevil, or kite it with a garmur, etc ā¦
I am however, super glad that weāll not be seeing ā ā ā ā ā ā ā garmurs in T1 plexes though, what a relief, along with the Wormā¦ those were just overused beyond stupid ā¦

If you count farmers, yea, thatās not very far off the state of FW currently.
Otherwise no, we do shoot at eachother still ā¦ come visit sometime.

Iāve had an alt in FW for about a month. Started out getting used to the rules and LS space. Last week or so started engaging in 1 v 1 in T1 frigates. When you are the noob, very few fights even remotely look winable. But itās a good time and I have a bunch of ships ready to lose. Most others enjoy the fights and the chats are lively.
Where I am, Amaar / Minmatar space, the number of involved systems is a rather large blob without differentiation. Focusing conflict through the Frontline, Command Operations, etc. scheme is a definite plus. Plexing as part of a war effort seems a bit of a contrivance. It appears to be a proxy for taking and defending āgroundā or in this case āspaceā and there is a slide bar in the system info area of your screen that measures the aggregated progress of your faction (not even sure if this is correct). For me there is a giant disconnect in this activity and what one would call āwarfareā. Seems to me the attackers should be blowing things up and displacing the defenders with new structures, infrastructure, etc. And the defenders should be killing the attackers and blowing up their stuff.
Trying to imagine content that would improve upon the plexing mechanicā¦(not a simple task)ā¦

One of the reasons folks donāt go out and shoot people in so called low sec.
Wait till you run into my Hecate.
It makes Garmurs cry.
You could do arena you know
Wow, thatās a bit harsh, isnāt it?
With the rapidly dropping player numbers one would think that encouraging people to stay engaged and playing Eve (especially long-time roleplayers like Gaven) would be the smarter move than to keep up the elitist crap.
That āGo back to WoWā meme was hackneyed back when I joined in 2008. It hasnāt gotten any fresher since then and really needs to stop in light of the gameās current state of health.
