Can we not have more planets like Armageddon instead of a wipe?
Cool place I’ve been having fun. But everyone wants a slice it seems, and with alliances controlling a whole planet is easier, but if there was another arma then you could spread the load and hopefully the combat?

@mcprouty – this is probably more in line why i think it would be cool with no BA. Remove territory from the picture - just fighting. AM is gold mining, PM is PVPing. I do recognize that having no BA gives less reason for PVP to happen, so there’s a trade off…
Meh. If you could not build a base there, it would become basically like any of the homeworld planets right now where you cannot build a base and expect it to survive unless you have someone online 24/7. The draw to the planet that brought us out to the regular pvp was the idea that we could finally have a base defense that didnt just end with everyone falling asleep, then getting wiped. We would not have been out there for the fighting in the first place. I cant speak for the others, just LoT and the other inhabitants of the valley.
perfect plan Achilles i love it
I think no bases is a step in the wrong direction.
I do realise that this means its harder for smaller or rival factions to get a foothold but If there was another planet they can set up there, maybe 1 hop away. Giving us somewhere to hit back when we have e been attacked.
If hws could enforce the core limit on a planet to say 20 BA cores only, first come first serve, if its full kill, somone and take their place. Kinda like highlander… except with 20
I have great fun defending my slice of planet. The other day after digging my defence trenches I heard a noise, checking my turret I saw 2 HVS & an SV closing fast.
Their first volley took out the hv hanger. Luckily our turrets were not found wanting and shortly despatched the fool hardy attackers.
Unfortunately we were unable to find their base due to the monumental battle taking place.
We then set about removing people we don’t like from the planet .
Best fun I have had in this game
Ever
I envision planet vs planet battles. Whole 20 faction strong alliances controlling a planet, renting rooms in bases to minor factions , in much the way pka offered hanger space to.our faction.
Once planets can be held be friendly alliances then they can be taken too, & with a pve/pvp rotation it stops people raiding while everyone is in bed.

Totally fair view points – To be transparent, i don’t partake a lot into the planet-based pvp bases, so my opinion is literally worth less than $0.02; but as an observer to all the different gripes and praises from folks from all walks, it seems like there’s an unspoken desire for that conflict with confusion as to how to achieve it. Hard to see it when you’re in the middle, perhaps, but there is a LOT of chatter you see when you’re scrapping and a whole lot of opinion being shared.

Honestly I am 100% fine with the bases and the resources during the PVE rotation. I’m not ok with the gold on PVE.
Freelancers don’t gain RP any other way so basing there or visiting during PvE is a determent. We’ll do it of course to blow meteors, drill out resources that people base near, etc… but if gold wasn’t in the picture we’d probably ignore it during PVE cycle and give people rest.
So the problem is not that gold is on PVE, if i hear you right; its that you must go to PVE to get gold… which you actually dont – You could go to Lucifer all week long, PVP all day every day, drops gold… weekends it turns PVE - You spend 2 1/2 day on PVP in Arma and you get RP all week long.
youdont HAVE To to go PVE if you dont want to.
I recommend lowering the base class. No need for class 10 bases tbh.

Ranzeth is right about class10 bases. Totaly over the top, especially with the current turret limit.
Tbh ive not used rep at all yet. Since someone in our faction has been on starter or arma at all times. Ive not gained a single point& I dont care. I simply want to conquer and control. And I get all I need from pois on arma or blackhole. But if these go then what?
The other planets are dead of people to attack, the pois are long gone.
But yeah, im ranting. Arma is cool, make more planets like it, rich in resource and relatively safe to offline raiding(cause mining in this game is LONG)
Encourage base building, attacking and defending

Maybe make a POI planet with ultra hard POIs that reset daily… but have no resources for mining?

Cool idea, and im sure it would get great popularity – but then bases, and then cv’s and then lag and then complaining and then arma 2.7. Which isnt a complaint from me - im fond of Arma… but it doesnt promise much change, just spreading out the love.
Well, if the POI planet is just a PvE planet shouldn’t be any problems there.

Oh for sure, then, totally agree. I thought you meant as PVP also.
Homeworld comes to mind here… already in place just needs some tweaking maybe??
so way i see it… really only difference between HW planets and Arma is they have the PVE period really… kinda sounds like the “solution” might be to spead folks out and make homeworld the “hotspot” it was suppose to be instead of 1 planet doing all the PVP functions.
Heck you could even limite CV’s on HW planets… but… is there really a need… CV’s are 99% useless on planets now anyways that the manual weapons are no longer working in atmo… so… again… hum…
/agree … sorta… also like it cause it give us something else to spend our ingots on… but also with constant changes… like this poll and what seems to be a pending wipe… its even more painful for big base owners… Any chance for a “Build Cost Repayment” for those affected by the wipe? (wishful thinking)
so… basically… if we do forgo the wipe… “Make Home World Planets Great Again” and rework them! (PS: means good amounts of Gold if you expect players to spread out!

No Hop’s you have it flipped. My problem is that anybody can get gold in PVE. Gold is the one commodity you can’t mine with in game autominers. You can’t have it on restricted donator planets. Everybody wants it. Everybody needs. People should be willing to say…Kill for it.
It is the only resource that people are forced to physically (With their virtual bodies) touch and make them selves available for combat. By making it available on a planet with bases and a 12 hour a day setup like Arma you allow factions to turtle up and wait for PVE. Heck If they were smart (and I am surprised no one is doing this) I would just have a farm cycle set up. Second PVE hits, 3 - 4 faction members warp in with ladybug’s and sleds , couple with SV’s, and a CV warship escort. Hit planet hard for gold, especially now there will be no poi’s. SV’s spot for the bugs and the ones you can’t get to in time that some other faction gets on they shoot.
Run that shift 4 - 8 hours a night and you’ll all have OCD’s quickly. I made 175K gold ore the night Lindenn tried to box me up along with 6K sathium and 5K iron.
So I’ve been on Arma a bunch. I have not mined too much, it is PvE 100% when I’m at work. And it breaks into pvp before I get home, and stays pvp long after I got bed.
Although the pvp.is fun, in NA it really is for those.who.can be up and attack at times the rest can’t.
Is there any way that the pvp.hours.to be the same length of.time between na and EU? For those of us who work and want to goto bed before 3 am without fear of my base knocked out?
(I say this after another late night defending the Arma base which has finally fallen,)
The hours are brutal, I have enjoyed the pvp.fights involving like 3-4 different factions per side.
Just my 2 cents, related but.not.the same.
