I dont disagree on that point, and in fact i was seeing chavez faction in the net7 website but it doesnt show in game. i havent checked since the fixes to the mess but it was there before Edit: Its still showing in the net7 faction tab on my toons 4 Chavez -8,440

Zackman told me in game that its fixed pending a push to live. I really hope they get this in really really soon here, because no one can upgrade til they do. They should restart and push the moment they read this actually =D

Chavez never had a formal faction but they behaved like one. You started yellow and eventually went red. They had no alliances tho, killing them gave you postive to everything but like vrix

I love the irony of a progen named cloak

I am almost done with the tutorial, I actually created a new PW to do this and am going to do my HU10 as I type this. I have about 10-15 screenshots and a very long notepad file of text. Should I just post the raw info here? Edit: All done. Where do you want it, here or your inbox?

The idea behind this is that there are really only three ways to get RD faction in this game. You either start with a JD or JS and just have RD faction from go, you kill about 1000 chavez for hours/days, or you do about 1000 jobs out of the terminals which would take weeks. I am proposing a content mission set, based out of say an NPC on some out of the way station that gives ascendingly difficult tasks, probably long in nature (on the same level as the 30 and 50 HU missions) that award chunks of faction on completion. Im not talking about 1 little mission for 100 points that you would repeat, im talking about a full "themepark" style series of missions, say 10-15 of them that would take a while to do, but still be worth doing as an alternative to sitting in glenn massacring blood initiates all day long. Say something like smuggling data disks, obtaining rare ores, fighting various mobs, intercept a convoy of agrippa ships, scan some nav you have to figure out the location of via a clue chain, solve a password puzzle like the aspiration mission to decrypt secret TadaO research, and so on. The possibilities for what the missions could be for is pretty endless, but the point would be that youd get large factional rewards for doing them. Say uncommon blacksun equipment at low levels +100 faction points and maybe rarer stuff +500 faction for the top tier chains. The idea being that you could earn through actual content that isnt a total grind, several thousand faction points as you get in deeper with the red dragons, essentially becoming one of them by virtue of working for them as versus mass mindless shieldnova of swarms of chavez for no other reason. (especially for professions that dont have AoE omgz mass murder like any non PW/PP) I know the idea is very skeletal, but id love to discuss it, in light of the factional changes we all had yesterday and the sheer grind of refactioning toons that were neutral etc before. What do you all think? Im down to discuss all sorts of ideas, maybe the devs will dig it.

Take the gate to the stage 1 out for toons already established. I am not deleting my main character just to go back and pick up one weapon map. Thats lunacy. I do all the stage 2 weapons/ammo, but cant do the stage 3 because i was already a consul when the whole dang thing came out. Thats the issue.

awesome, will that fix the loss of faction those who got hit by the bug recieved as well?

Cool beans man, just want it working is all. Also if you get a chance to refix my EC faction again id appreciate it.

Yeah but changing the look of the game would be one hell of an exercise in artwork and man hours

2 1/2 years ago... Man if only this game looked like that today That is beyond fricken epic.

I wonder if the display is outputting the earthcorps faction as your chavez faction, because according to the net7 site my chavez faction is now also -3191. Its almost as if EC is sorta mirroring the chavez once you kill one. Weird weird bug. My EC faction is in fact tanked tho, player TEs are showing up as red to me again.

The EarthCorps bug is still in. See screen. Kill a chavez, tank faction to -3000 immediate, every kill thereafter drops you more, remember you fixed me back to +9999 Zack? This was after I read your above post about the fix. [img]http://i.imgur.com/jGxqq.jpg[/img]

Yes, I do it all of the time. As long as its different accounts, you can run as many clients as your machine can handle.

Server login is tied to BBW faction and we all got reset. No can has

Oh the issue im thinking of is actually why you wiped the factions. For the build bonus/penalty. A new 150 PW grinding up is going to have a better build chance percent on arx magister than say my toon would, because of the loss of 2500 faction or so. (assuming its calculated for faction levels all the way up to 9999) Also Zack, rather than manually going through and fixing people, maybe add something to the faction leaders (Kerr, Dewinter, etc) that if you talk to them with a reset faction it will do a check to see if your bonuses are applied? Automation to save you time man.

Is there gonna be any way to restore that? Like maybe a check with Kerr or something "set faction to HU 150" or something. I love the change and its a great step, but the maxed toons are all losing 2500+ of their own faction they should have. Without slaughtering thousands of another faction and tanking it to get back where I should be (as well as everyone else), is there going to be another way? I forsee massive agrippa issues with that collegia faction on some toons as well.

Yeah thats right, but im not a level 0 legionnaire, im a 150 proconsul. Know what I mean? I assume you guys didnt factor in the faction bonuses we all get from our rank ups

The brief moment the server was up I noticed some faction issues right away. Vrix/Unknown doesnt seem to exist anymore, Progen Combine isnt listed, and my own Centuriata faction on my PW which should be just by doing hull upgrades and leveling close to maxed is at 7000 (a 150 PW is usually well over 9000). I know its a work in progress but thats what I saw in the couple minutes I had

If only that maximum HU/level limit was taken off. I understand a minimum one, but the maximum one is just overkill.
