This is awesome. I always feel like this kind of function should be built in. I usually just look at forum posts and assume, but this is far more detailed.

REALLY good to see the house numbers balance out a bit. It's super lame when everyone chooses either the hegemonic westerners or the bushido weeaboos.

It's not entirely surprising people don't feel represented by the entirely personality-less FWL. I am, however, surprised Liao is doing so badly. Maybe it's the thought of following the orders of utter maniacs.

Thank you Hawkeye for your hard work, time and, contribution to the community.

Liao is probably doing badly because they lose most of the big fights in the books/games

I used to play several cannon merc groups in the table top game and since i wasn't allowed to pick any of them i went with davion for now because that's who most of them worked for

tbh the descriptions of the factions on this website might have something to do with it too. I picked Caldari in Eve based solely on the brief description on the Eve "choose your faction" page and that was far and away the most popular group in the game, mostly because the Gallente and Minmatar descriptions sucked so no one wanted to go that route since no one knows anything about the game when they go to sign up

the description of Liao on this site makes them sound better than I remember them from past iterations of BT, and the Marik one makes them sound worse than I remember, so it could easily be something along those lines

...wait, I thought that was the appeal?

Hanse Davion comes across as rational to you? Maybe in comparison to that psycho *****, but Hanse Davion is no less crooked and power hungry than the Liao dynasty - he just goes about his business in more subversive ways.

That being said, he's quite the charismatic leader and why they get my vote.

No, they didn't get to keep Legendary, but there was some glitch, on opening day, and perhaps a couple of days after that, where people who purchased Elite were automagically and accidentally upgraded to Legendary. Once the glitch was found, as far as I know all was made right.

I'll be very interested to see how these numbers change after August 7 and beyond. I can't imagine our intrepid hunter-gatherer of statistical goodies will be able to get the same data from the game (where it matters most), but hopefully PGI will make some of that information available.

[CSTK]

That will be a hell of a long credits roll

[jrock]

can i have more data if I cry? I mean I have a REALLY good tantrum routine that I have learned from my 3 year old...

6000 or so beta invites went out this week, whats the stats now?

.....and P2win has begun....

sorry if that sounds pessimistic, but XP and $$ bonuses sound like an unbalance to the game right from the start.

I would have paid for the "founder" status and skins. The bonuses are upsetting.

It's not pay to win , it just means that your progression may be faster, however it will depend on the overall upgrades and how the matchmaker works , (the team will decide an outcome, individual players just add to the overall effort).

You have to remember that all games need some kind of business model. Pay to win would come into effect if they had mechs that you paid for with real cash that were overpowered Or special ammo for real cash, or mods that were overpowered.

[Ubertron X]

The beta is a lie!

[Kyoshim]

Hawkeye, can you update your 1st post ?

[Morang]

I hope somebody monitors beta invites - now topics about invite rounds are deleted from the Announcements forum as soon as the next round comes. How soon would devs run out of Founders to invite in beta? Though game will be over at August 7 anyway... Too bad I'll be away from my PC from 4th to 14th...

[Der Zivilist]

I've kept count. Counting the ones that will get sent out later today, there have been 18,200 Founder Invites so far.

Which is interesting, considering that 14 days ago, Hawkeye scanned just 16,009 Founders.

In light of this, an update of the stats would be very interesting to see indeed!
