Teams/Factions

[Govind]

Yes, this is a bit of a rip-off from WoW, but I like the idea of having distinct factions or 'teams' that users can select to side with when they create their accounts. Having only two opposing sides would be too similar to WoW (the Alliance and the Horde), so perhaps three or four teams that people can choose to side with would be a good idea.

Naturally, each team would have their own set of advantages/disadvantages. Here's an example of what I'm thinking of:

Team 1:
- Start/spawn in City A
- Have a set of spells/abilities unique to Team 1

Team 2:
- Start/spawn in City B
- Have a set of spells/abilities unique to Team 2

Team 3:
- Start/spawn in City C
- Have a set of spells/abilities unique to Team 3

... and so on.

Interactions between opposing teams can only be hostile and interactions between members of your own team are friendly, and can include trading, alliances, etc...

Just a thought. Post what you think.

I like it. Naturally we'd have to be a little more creative than calling them 'teams,' though. How about 'colonies' or something?

 

[Govind]

Yeah, sure.

 

[Jeff 2 Nasty]

this idea is actually pretty good and at this rate this game is changng from looking as an idea to a possibility we might actually be able to do it

 

[Morphis]

I support this idea, but also what if one of the team members turns hostile? How about they get exiled and are like a Rogue or something.

Well since sythe is going twards a more pvp orientated game factions are a must

 

[Billyy]

I like the idea a lot, and hopefully we can incorporate this.

 

[orlando_jordan]

I like The idea and it makes The game more multilayer with attracted gameplay.

I will vote a yes for this, however I fell a completely free PvP were everyone vs everyone is the way to go. Possibly with the option of having a minigame of Colonie vs Colonie.

 

[kher0]

very good idea and of course yes . Separating teams will really help and gives many choices . We should even separate teams to good / evil .

 

[Pshynosis]

Races vs races. No factions.

 

[Govind]

Make the factions seperate races, then.

 

[Joseph_Cooper]

I like this idea very much

 

[The Granite Maul]

I believe how you do on quest should determine what team you are on (Ex. Fable, good or evil) Perhaps about 10 quest, and what you do during them determins what colonie you join. Also, this would give people a goal right when they first start the game, and that is to join a colonie, and for those who dont have the quest done, they should be clasified as "Loaners". Agian I will say this though, in the PvP let everyone fight everyone, and perhaps have mini games were its colonie vs colonie.

 

[Govind]

Keep voting, folks!

 

[Jokerz]

Different races with two factions for each type of race. This will consist of various sub-classes that people can rank up as they do more training/quests/storyline and challenges..

 

[Deacon Frost]

Definitely. Seperations like that also allow for more storys... (Such as coming togethers, and wars)

 

[Mageinrage]

After awhile though, everyone is just going to pile into the same team =\.

 

[Dark boy42]

Balanced teams? Like say someone wants to join team 3. "Sorry, no spots are available for that team at the moment."

 

[Mageinrage]

That would work, but what if 2 friends want to be on the same 'team'?
