I think most FW regulars (save a few hard core loyalists) enjoyed the conflict variety of the last FW event (with both IS v IS and Clan v Clan). I personally would think PGI might be able to breathe a spark (even a tiny one) into FW if they made those conflicts (even with no loot or prizes) more of a regular thing. Maybe 1 week out of the month would be IS v IS or Clan v Clan....or even two weeks. So, it would still be 1/2-3/4 the regular Clan v IS conflict. With the elimination of contracts, cooldown and LP losses their is really not a structural reason in the game this couldn’t work. They could still layer special events on top or substitute special events on a given month. This doesn’t seem like some pie in the sky (too hard to code) idea and it might give us back a bit of the variety that was lost by going to only 2 buckets. Thoughts?

What I would like to see is a "check the box" option that would allow an individual or team to select IS v IS or Clan v Clan as an alternative that would kick in if there were multiple groups of that faction in queue that had been waiting for a period of time. That way the "default" would still be IS v Clan, but hopefully it would add to the game diversity and cut down on queue times.

Honestly, make it rotate every few weeks, And make clan-vs-is not open during that time, however don't make people change factions, Make it the Davion vs Stiner, or Wolf vs Bear, however, give a selection screen or something that pops up that says HEY THERE IS THIS BIG WAR, BOTH SIDES REQUEST YOUR AID, WHICH SIDE WILL YOU CHOOSE TO HELP? that way you can still be your fav Kurita lore-warrior, just sub-helping clan wolf or something, that way people dont get their panties in a bunch having to join either one or the other side and losing their current faction

Like the idea but Cheekiez is right... need just a little engineering to remove the requirement to be faction A or faction B. Then even the lore warriors will be appeased.

I enjoyed the variety. I agree with Cheekies, let people choose.

On another note, let the players make you some maps. You could get alot of free work from us and we would get some new maps. Please!

I think that would be ideal...but could/would PGI code that for us?

i just wish they tried doing the IS v IS and clan v clan simultaneously. i think they have enough pop for 2 conflicts at once, just not 16 like 3.0 did.

With prizes (or loot bags) on the line like this event was, then sure they have the population....Without them and as a regular thing in FW...well idk, could be dicey. I think conflicts like IS Vs. IS provide a novelty you can’t get in another mode and that provides a reason to show up and play. Longer wait times do the opposite...so idk if that (Clan v. Clan...IS v IS...population split 4 ways) is where I would start this kind of thing.

Jup, simple 2 front war.

Clan vs IS
Clan vs Clan
IS vs IS

Leave everything as it is and get the normal clan vs is. More clan in que then IS? Place them in a secondary planet vs each other. Same for is.
More game variety and reduced waiting time.
win win.

Kill for Pay,No shoot to maim, but we don't need a reason. The Golden Goose is on the loose and never out of season.

Offer GXP,C-Bills,MC, and player's choice of cockpit items and I will play as much FP as my schedule will allow.

If i'd gotten a c-bill every time i suggested to make loyalty a currency and implement a shop for it... meh..

I just wish FP events happened more frequently as I love/hate FP. My feelings depends on game results.
