    I'm already working on some faction spawns with many mobs and really short respawn time.

    I hope i can get them in for the next patch, but for sure the one after the coming one.

    The thing with camped spawns, i don't know how and where you tried to get faction, but i got the RD faction down to -1900 from -7000 and Bogeril to about +2000, also Anseria in green all in about 3 days, and nothing was camped.(with my normal play account)

    Atleast i can say the factions are working and there are some good spots to get the RD faction.

    Also not only chavez give RD faction. Maybe you want to have a look at other Factions to kill. If you need an example, EarthCorps.....

    The existing spawns are not finished yet so have a bit patience.

    I'm looking atm for all spawns in Beta Hydri and Aragoth.

    It's a slow task to test them all, if they spawn fast enough or if there are enough mobs over the time.

    But as i said, right now it is already possible in 3 days to get access to the RD Gates.

    First of all +1000 for working in some more spawns, that will be greatly appreciated.

    Secondly, could you clarify the 3 days to get RD faction? Is that 3 days at 8 hours a day? 4 hours a day? Did you do this test before the gates were factioned again? Similar to what Fuulish was saying, I'm in central time zone and the time of day that I am able to get on is usually about the busiest time of the server (180 - 200+ toons logged in).

    And Chavez is the only way to go if DT is going to be brought on as a factioned gate. I know of EC being another option (the spawn with the 12's and 27's has been camped pretty regularly lately also), and your own class, but I am not aware of any other mobs that give RD faction.

    What I'd like to see is some kind of epic mission arc that you can do instead of the endless grinding for faction. Something along the lines of the Call Forward mission... Something that requires a lot of effort on one's part to complete without the monotony of sitting in one place hitting e+f.

    Granted grinding and jobs for faction should still be there for those that don't like missions.

    Agreed. How about a mission where you have to get a collection of items non-manu/looted-only from Chavez but of different levels. Like you need 10 of component A lvl 2 (looted from chavez lvl 5-10) and 10 of component B lvl 3(looted from chavez lvl 12), etc. You would still have people farming all of these locations to get these comps, but at least they would be moving around to get all of them and grouping would be ok, so toons can share loot (since you can't share faction right now)

    I haven't done combat jobs in a long time, mostly because they are not combat jobs. They are explore/combat jobs. One thing I have never understood is why you should have to warp just as far to complete a combat job as you do to complete an explore job. Isn't the difficulty of completing a combat job supposed to be the lvl of the mob you have to take down? Why wouldn't you just spawn that mob in the same sector as where you picked up the job?

    Let me put it like this. Say you lived in a city that was 100 square blocks that is broken up in to 10 different neighborhoods. You live on the east side of the city, but the city dump is on the west side of the city. So a job is offered in your neighborhood to take garbage from your neighborhood to the other side of city to dispose. This job pays x amount of money. There is another neighborhood closer to the middle of the city that offers a similar job but only pays about 80% of that because they are much closer and it doesn't take as much effort. Those are your explore jobs and that is how that works now in the game which makes sense.

    However for combat jobs, in your neighborhood, you are offered a job to take out bullies that are causing problems 2 or 3 neighborhoods away. And the higher paying jobs are bullies farther away from your neighborhood. Does not make sense. Why would jobs to take out mobs in VT be offered in Somerled? Shouldn't they be offered in Aragoth Station?

    instead of releasing the source just release compiled .exe that way they can't take the code

    ???..........ummmm.......

    You mean like just an executable file that can't be uncompiled but when you click on it still allows you to play the game? Something like e&b.exe?

    +1 to Fuulish

    - You could improve the faction awarded from higher level Chavez to +15 for the CL50-52, up from their current +11. That would help those that already went through the initial grind to further improve and maintain their relations with the RD.

    I agree with another faction bump, however iirc the chavez you are mentioning cl50-52 are only in Paramis. Someone could probably correct me on that, right now the highest level chavez that I have been able to farm is in Rag (well me and usually 3-5 other toons racing to see who can kill them first)

    I have already done the 2k RD mission, it is extremely disappointing to hear that mission has been removed if that is true.

    If we mask the problem indefinitely by allowing everyone to use those gates for convenience we'll never get anywhere. :D

    Just to be clear, I am not wanting the gates re-opened, I prefer to have them factioned. I would like to see more mob spawns to help get there. Especially since group faction is not working, it is difficult to find a spawn point that is not being camped by one or more toons and since whoever gets the kill gets the faction, if I am sitting on a spawn point and a bigger ship comes in and starts farming, I get nothing. I don't mind grinding for several hours to gain faction, but I do mind spending the couple of hours that I have available to play this game, just warping around trying to find a spawn point that isn't already being camped and come up empty. (I wouldn't be so annoyed, but I am half-way through a mission I picked up in Paramis before the gates got factioned and would like to finish it)

    So my suggestions are A) fix the group faction or B ) add some more spawns for people to get RD faction or C) more static RD faction gain missions.

    CDel, you are right, my original post was just going to be about the opcode error and getting stuck on the map screen, the game was acting like it does when the server drops, and it kind of morphed into this other subject, so if someone has the ability, please move these posts into a separate thread.

    Good News: Was just in Muspelheim behind Surti Alpha bombing away on some insta-spawn Chavez (thx Tien)

    Bad News: After I got about 3 of them, I got one bad opcode and game froze and now stuck on Map screen after logging in again.

    Worse News: I come back after about 20 min, spawn is completely cleared out, I have an 18k xp debt, and only gained about 15 faction points. This faction grind has officially gone from annoying to %$##ing me off. I am now officially beating a dead horse, but it does not make any sense to stress test faction grinding when not everything that will be available to gain RD faction when the game goes live is not currently in the game.

    Do what I did, start a few different ones that do different things and see what gets you going. I am starting to find now that my PP is closing in on 150, that I am in need of a JE (or other mining toon) to get ores to make comps to make ammo and stuff at higher levels so I am glad that I have a JE on their way to max prospect skill soon.

    Excuse the off-topic post, but we need an EA CEO mob to gank in effigy.

    Oh please, please, pretty please put in an EA CEO mob. Make it a job mob or something, lvl 135 or lvl 150 job.

    (BTW John Riccitiello is the current CEO of Electronic Arts, but putting his name in directly may draw the ire of the EA's scumba....er... legal staff. Even using the the name EA might not be good, but maybe a variation of it. Make it like a jenquai name E'Ace'O)

    Why do we need a reason to choose one race over another?

    Why not open up more diverse character building options and gameplay?

    I like being Progen for the lore but I really hate being pigeon-holed into using Projectiles.

    Am also a closet kiter and a big fan of MLs.

    As to the topic, I can agree with Terrans and say leave the kiting to those kiting.

    Hmm, I kinda see your point, but with lvl 8 available for all the classes for every weapon....I wonder what the difference in DPS is between a PW with 6 lvl 8 ML's versus a TE with 5 lvl 9 ML's. My guess would be that is still a pretty vicious tank/kiter.

    I vaguely remember a conversation with one of the original GM's in Live who said they had discussed it and they didn't want to attempt to create a post-apocalyptic Earth planetary setting so they just adjusted the storyline to make it so that Earth was considered un-inhabitable.

    I wonder if that was Westwood's original design and then EA changed her outfit so they could claim her to themselves. They probably have Megan locked up in some warehouse somewhere endlessly repeating "I'm sorry it appears your login information is incorrect, please try again"

    Sign the petition!!! Free Megan!!!!

    I think even hidden characters can be found using the "/t playername" command. If you send a tell and the player is offline you get a message coming back saying so. If you get no message coming back, that means they are online, they are just ignoring you.

    (Should note that there are people who log in and stay logged in even when they are away from their computer, so just because they are online, doesn't mean they are there)

    A few people were having this issue last night on the PTR, Tien said he was going to restart the PTR server and I never went back on afterwards, so I'm not sure if this is still an issue or not.

    Every time I would talk to a vendor NPC I would get a fresh batch of bad opcode errors and the talk tree would never come up. Wouldn't CTD or anything, would just be stuck there in a staring contest that no one ever wins.

    I have a bunch of AA in my vault on my JE along with a bunch of proto stuff (going to have to create a vault toon soon I think). Last I heard it was going to be awhile before the NPC's that analyze these things get put back into the game.

    On another note is Merlin still around?
