nlarkogirl3 -> New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 2:03:09)

Hey admins I am loving this game beyond belief but an easy way for you to make more money is to let faction leaders spend varium to buy new faction slots... as I see it makes it unfair to some with no money but then they should just join a faction with a rich leader or be happy with what they got



ipadman98 -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 2:07:57)

i think it could be a good idea as long as it doesn't get abused [:D]
like only being able to buy about 5 slots or something.



nlarkogirl3 -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 2:11:59)

have a limited per month maybe but not just 5 total limit also set a total max (higher than 5) makes it a little more competitive for world domination



ngshuyi94 -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 4:52:04)

No, too many people in a single faction makes it difficult to control.

Besides, people might abuse it. 'Poor' founders who have little varium to spend wont be able to compete with big factions with alot more people than they do.

An alternative is to increase the number of people in the faction originally to 20. Either that or like those on top said, make it 5 slots max.



Fay Beeee -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 6:30:03)

While it sounds like a great idea. To hold a faction is not easy. To get (and keep) great players is hard for a various number of reasons. Too many to go into. If the faction number is increased from 18 to +more, it will be difficult to keep it full.

No offence.

Good luck



axiel -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 6:42:08)

i disagree... the factions with more players would obviously be more Opn such as 1 player could do 500 kills a day ... for daily 1on1 and how about another 4 players on-top of that 500 wins... *in a day* they could do an extra 3k easily a week... just saying it would not improve the balance of the game...



Fay Beeee -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 7:00:55)

^
You could still do that with only 18 members, I think. :)



Chosen 0ne -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 10:29:08)

I agree with this.

Off topic: Anybody else hate getting new community members? Rofl.



Basicball -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 12:27:39)

i wouldn' mind, but for now the max. amount of membrs should only get amax +5, and ANOTHER +2 in oficers (so 25 total)



Gurn -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/8/2011 13:39:11)

I think that expanding the faction member spots vastly, would really add to the enjoyment of the game but I think this should be a free update that applies to all factions. (I see a faction as a group of friendly people just having fun together as opposed to just grinding numbers for the leaderboard). Often members wish family or friends could be in the same faction but they are unable to join due to size restrictions and thus placed on a waiting list. Having 100 member factions would be a blast and it would really put the "war" in future faction wars! [:)]



ur going to fail -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 0:37:12)

This feature wouldn't be a problem at all with the founder step-down ability. 25 people ran by 3 founders? Easy.



king julian -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 0:46:05)

Maybe being able to buy(with varium) a Sub-Founder slot?



ngshuyi94 -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 1:20:00)

@ ur gonna fail

Yeap, it should be easier. But i fear that people might abuse the foudner step down feature then we'll really have alot of problems.

Anyway there should be a co-founder slot. Like:

Founder:
Co-founder:
Officers:
Members:

This way even if the founder isnt on the co-founder can still make important decisions such as the booting of faction members etc. Furthermore, it can also lead to lesser abuse if there is a founder step down option.



Remorse -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 2:57:15)

Sure they could spend money on factions......


OR factions could EARN the right to have a couple more slots...

Sounds more fair to me and gets rid of the fact that thier would be overpowered rich factions.

Plus if the devs lives up to their name of "not being in it for the moeny" then I see no probelms for doing this for the benefit of the community.



Basicball -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 13:20:23)

hmmm ... earn slots ... like 1 extra slot per level your facion is? and 1 oficer slot (instead of the normal slot) when you hit a level that's a multiplied form of 5
sounds good to me



da ham king -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 14:24:21)

I think earning slots is a great idea cause the whole game is based on earning things like lvls and items. So why not?





Lord Nub -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 14:35:46)

Yep earning slots sounds like a great idea but I also agree additional varium should also be spent to help support the game.

It has absolutely nothing to do with a battle and is only an additional feature one may wish to utilize. As such it should cost a little extra.

Also perhaps a feature to change the name of a faction?



Aere -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 16:34:15)

Sorry, I don't think allowing factions with a rich leader (*Buffy*) have an actual, in-game advantage.

I agree with more faction slots though. Maybe Battle Tokens?



Lord Nub -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 17:35:25)

^ In game advantage?

How does a player profit from a faction? I don't understand why people are so intense on factions. A majority are run by players with multiple accounts in the faction so when they are on 24 hours there basically going to win the daily with no help.

There is absolutely no incentive for factions whatsoever and its only basis is for friends to gather and fight under the same banner.

It seems most have some misconception that a faction that wins dailys consists of the best players when in actuality most are not good at all.

Mindless clicking does not make a player good.

Also it would seem that being in a successful faction some how makes you better in battle.

Lol on top of all that, one will more than likely take a short break from the game just to come back and see that they have been booted and all those wins and tokens have been wasted.

Nothing wrong whatsoever with players purchasing new slots with their varium. If the leaders enjoy running their factions and wish to add more slots then so be it as long as the game profits from some misguided sense of pride.

If one is all of a suddenly approached to join a successful faction without ever talking with the founder and not knowing them at all, then they are more than likely being taken advantage of and will find out real quick how a faction works.

There are two types of factions. Friends joining together and fighting under the same banner and the ones solely meant to glorify the Founder and he/she will boot you without batting an eyelash. This is online gaming not real life where he/she has to say your fired to your face.

Other than friends fighting under one banner there is absolutely no point to factions and everyone should careless to whether or not a faction has 100 members compared to another with 5. Makes no difference as long as the game is being supported and factions = nothing more than something for the younger players to look up to and admire.



Fay Beeee -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 19:01:24)

Wow Lord Nub. Negative post, or what!
I will try and reply to some of your comments. How I see it.

It seems most have some misconception that a faction that wins dailys consists of the best players when in actuality most are not good at all. For us it was the trying as best you can - however many you managed to get - all were welcomed and counted towards faction wins

Mindless clicking does not make a player good. Agreed

Also it would seem that being in a successful faction some how makes you better in battle. I do not think so, never have. It makes you a team player

Lol on top of all that, one will more than likely take a short break from the game just to come back and see that they have been booted and all those wins and tokens have been wasted. As long as faction boss and officers were told of the break - we did not kick - as long as they were trying

Nothing wrong whatsoever with players purchasing new slots with their varium. If the leaders enjoy running their factions and wish to add more slots then so be it as long as the game profits from some misguided sense of pride. Your opinion, to which you are entitled

If one is all of a suddenly approached to join a successful faction without ever talking with the founder and not knowing them at all, then they are more than likely being taken advantage of and will find out real quick how a faction works. 1st they may have been asked to 'head hunt' 2nd if you join - it would be your choice to do so

There are two types of factions. Friends joining together and fighting under the same banner and the ones solely meant to glorify the Founder and he/she will boot you without batting an eyelash. This is online gaming not real life where he/she has to say your fired to your face. I am just guessing you have been in factions that do this. Not all are the same.

Other than friends fighting under one banner there is absolutely no point to factions and everyone should careless to whether or not a faction has 100 members compared to another with 5. Makes no difference as long as the game is being supported and factions = nothing more than something for the younger players to look up to and admire.



This is my opinion only - No offence to anyone - Just trying to say it from my point of view. :)



Stabilis -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 19:13:27)

How would we deal with exclusively high win counters in a faction partaking in more members? And what rule would we put into place to balance factions out for any faction leaders with relatively poorer disposable income?



Lord Nub -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 19:23:02)

Your using your faction as an example though. Are you still with ED Gladiators? Haven' seen you in ages considering I 2v2 mostly but I remember from Beta that's who you were with.

A majority are run for selfish reasons and players are misguided due to age.

No reason whatsoever to a faction but to glorify its Founder.

There are few factions that were formed on friendship and continue with that principle.

Your statement of people becoming friends after joining is somewhat true. Once again that applies to a select few. Most deceive which is far easier to do in an online universe just to have their name glorified.

Everyone will have their own personal reasons for there definition of a faction, but if I were a child or a new player, I would see the faction which wins the most dailys or has the highest level and deem them the best, idolize them, and never talk smack about them or some magical being may appear out of my computer screen and destroy me.

These are truly false ideals, but it is what that type of player does.

We need more individual competition in this game i.e. bracket tournaments that don't require the most time spent online to really narrow down the good players.

Come on Titan where's the tournys everyone is anticipating?!?!?!?

Also on reporting multiple members in a faction is impossible. Only some ignorant player would spell out for camera what is going on. Noone simply admits to it but over time you recognize patterns about players and can tell. A players assumptions is not evidence.

@Above,

The poor are not equal to the rich.

They do not deserve as much as the rich.

Therefore the post does not apply.

Feel free to Occupy ED or Wall street and protest this fact all you want.

i) All people are equal, Cinderella will tell you that the team appreciates f2p and varium customers evenly as the f2p have been supporting or giving feedback from the Alpha.

ii) They deserve equal equal opportunity however they are not entitled to the same special currency which changes an entire field in perspective.

iii) I will not protest rights or corporate greed in a business owned enterprise... nonetheless a virtual reality.



Lord Nub -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 19:45:45)

^ Maybe you passed over previous posts, I'll re-re-explain.

Factions offer no perks, abilities, or anything whatsoever for a player.

Therefore, why have an issue with rich players increasing their personal empire while also improving the game through support to the devs?

There is no issue there.

Jealousy over something meaningless has no place in society even if it is the basis of just about everything.



Stabilis -> RE: New Faction Slots (11/10/2011 20:00:13)

Yes, I understand clearly, what about rivalry between 2 varium factions where one player has a monetary overlordship in terms of buying more members?
