Because its completely useless after you get your decent gear. People are making influence point with pvp missions and getting faction tokens from wars, invasions etc. But imagine if we can use those “always capped” tokens to actual different kind of items. Like 550-570 gears for 100k per piece. Or 590 gear for even 200k tokens. You can also add some crafting materials that we cant easily drop by chance (Like tolviums, void ores, thropy items, even basic crafting materials like rawhide or iron ores etc.) but actually can get them with farming high amount of tokens.
With this way, you can also feel like those factions that you decided to bound will also actually work for you if you work for them. This will seem like a contract we looking for!
Just let us farm more tokens thats acceptable. But please make it worth. I changed my faction and i dont even need to raise my reputation or token because these items from faction shop is completely useless for my level and gear score. Please increase the variation of items on that shop can be bought with faction tokens. Make feel people to work for their factions actually matters and impactful for the gameplay experience.
Choosing a faction and work for their ideals started as a great idea but ended in disaster. Please fix this as soon as you can.
um, you have to buy asmodeum chisel from the faction shop for orbs
and grand rune holding as well for trophies
and some potions if you are out of stock
Just my 2 cents - maybe make them cosmetic instead gears? We can buy better ones on trading post with cheap price anyway, and they look kind of cool in their own way imo. Raise the money/tokens needed to purchase if needed. Each tier give different look/style or something?
Thats an idea. Why not? They are giving us the chance that we can earn infinite amount of those tokens from world pvp, wars, quests and invasions. But there is nowhere to spend those tokens actually useful. I personally suggest that we need more stuff on that faction vendor. Seriously, who is feeling their faction bound anymore? Is there any difference if you’re marauder or covenant? Do you even care about Spark or stuff?
This uselessness of the faction vendor and faction theme content also prevents people to feel their roleplay stuff. This game is MMO-RPG afterall. Remember first week of the new world release and streamers/players. They even have their faction flags on their walls. Now noone cares about factions. People just care about getting territories and stuff. Only colors matters and bigger guilds are controlling it.
This may seem like a small issue but i think its really pretty strongly affecting the game experience in negative way.
Edit: Devs may even make a ranking system in factions for example. The more points you earn, the higher ranking you’ve placed in the server with your faction. Higher ranking players will get some higher cosmetic stuff like temporarily (seasonal) titles, weapon or armor skins, house decorations or even special character icons that shows near their name like guild crests.
With this way, people will have another reason to join world pvp. They’ll have a reason to gain those faction tokens and stuff. More people will join to world pvp to have placement on that faction ranking system.
our server averaging 150-250 avg players and since the pvp on advantage patch,
we have been clashing in big number for about 3 times now
2 times like an all out war between 3 factions
1 time is just between green and yellow
the only downside is just the lag is worse
like so exciting
but this, doesnt relate to the faction npc at all
just replying your argument
this thread is a “we need more world PvP” in disguise.
As stated above, faction tokens are used to buy mats for bags, storage chests and chisels for dungeons. Maybe with the reduced cost of keys it would be worth farming them and running dungeons.
We have run Lazarus and Genesis thanks to the reduced key costs (but Amazon dev if you’re reading this, get rid of the cool down on key making, like can we dungeon spam please??)
Faction gear, even most of the 520 stuff isn’t really that good for PVE or if you have an armorer in your guild or know of one. Never bought a single piece of faction gear.
Cosmetics could be a good idea as a whole but honestly, of ALL the issues currently plaguing the game. The need for 600-580 GS faction gear should be literally the lowest priority item for devs.
I’m not talking about being different colors and actually can make some pvp between them. The point that i wanted to mention is the theme of these factions. Covenant were templars, syndicate were cunning scientists and marauders were land pirates.
Faction vendor starting quests had cool story telling about them. But in the end game, its just colors because noone is wearing faction armor, noone is looking or feeling like their faction general concept or theme, noone is caring about what faction is (only colors matter because of obvious reasons)
Nah, just more faction gears that can be bought from the shop which has faction related cosmetics. And my suggestion is even they can add some of the important crafting items that can be gathered or dropped from the world to the token shop.
That would feel like, factions are also wokring for us when we are working for them. So would look like a deal. You are member of them afterall
