Theatres of War

So… it doesn’t even look like the Caldari are going to complete their objectives in time (22/30). I thought these were supposed to be getting some attention?

I expect they’ll add a sprint of easy objectives at the end if it looks like one of the empires will fail, otherwise CCP would have to admit the failure of this feature.

I find these objectives all annoying and uninspiring. I leveled up a character to run L3s, only to find out that you can only contribute 1 single mission to the whole campaign. I guess the same goes for “Build X in System”…

I haven’t been able to care about this feature even a little bit, which is disappointing because on paper, when you say, “We’re putting in a new faction war feature called military campaigns,” my reflex reaction is, “Hell yeah, tell me more.”

First of all, call me a cynic, but I can’t help but notice the practical utility this system could have if FC wanted to make certain adjustments while simultaneously offloading the apparent responsibility for those changes onto the players. If you wanted to, e.g., retcon Niarja, it would be very easy to leverage this as a bit of a figleaf while softballing a build-a-new-gate-bypass objective.

That aside…

Both the strategic and individual objectives are all very uninteresting to me, the rewards for completing the individual objectives aren’t worth it to me, and I think what bothers me the most is that it’s all just so overengineered and contrived. The Caldari State needs 600,000 vespas, but they’ll only take 50 from me? Are they fighting a war or handing out participation trophies?

Participation trophies in the form of SKINs…

Caldari is at 23/30 now, but it’s unlikely the FW and mining objectives will be completed in time. Theatres of War was good in premise but bad in execution.

Still plenty of time for a comeback . Amarr proved that .

Don’t worry! The game looks rigged and all will finish just fine.

yeah, it would be easier if there were more highsec stuff

Pve… Pffft. How much money per hour does this PVE make for an average guy and also for a not average guy? I guess I should thank CCP very much for the content. It’s a great thing to be clear I just don’t do it myself and neither do most of the people I know. They do pvp only and have no desire or need for isk or whatever else from NPCs. I would be curious to know how much money this is worth if you guys would share.

Theatres of War? Not very much (the advanced combat objective paid out 5k LP and 4m ISK).

So that’s like 8 million isk… What the f*** is that. No offense I really do appreciate the data.

That was for that particular objective (Advanced Combat Missions), where I had to complete 4 missions (which I usually do anyway). It’s more than the daily activities…

It all adds up. I hope it’s worth at least 60 million an hour in just small loot coming in

Regular L4s? I make closer to 500m ISK/hour. But the Theatre objective was a nice little added bonus.

Jesus Christ bro. Is that just one account?

Bonus isk is always a bonus :slight_smile:

additional Emersion into the story of the game also adds quality to the role play aspect of the game .

Thanks for that’s amazing insight that you brought to us with your years of wonderful experience in many different play styles of the game Kage… Your success in business has obviously made you very wealthy and your political connections are not to be toyed with. I admire you good sir wow is my last thing to say. Just wow.
