Incoming Faction Nerf - get it before it's too late!

[Nuggie]

I believe the policy of the devs is to have faction on p99 how it is on the live servers -right now-which makes it super easy to check without research. You log on you level xxx on eqlive, you hop a couple zones on your bard speed mount. You wipe out the zone. You check your logs for the faction hit mount. Our boy Daldaen was happy to oblige.

Tbh, with all the years nilbog has been putting in to this project (getting close to 10 I would think) I don't blame him for not wanting to go super gumshoe on faction guessing.

Not everything needs to be an argument, jeez people. The fact is you get good faction now, it's been like that for years, and you should probably take advantage of it while you can. You aren't forced to.

Some people feel the need to make a statement, but only when they disagree or can find fault in what someone else says. Just the nature of human beans.

Velious hasn't even been out "for years". Like everything else on this server Velious is the first draft of the dev's attempt to perfectly recreate classic EQ. As with any first draft they don't always get it right, and when they figure that out they fix it.

All this is is a bug getting fixed, and there's just been some healthy discussion over whether it truly is that or something that belongs.

I've gone from scowling to max ally several times and each time its taken me about 4-6 hours. Maybe that isnt classic but a whole afternoon of tagging mobs ought to be enough for anyone.

This exactly. Wish they'd just leave it as is. Sometimes QoL > "but it isnt classic!"

That's my sentiment too.

I mean for real. Grinding faction doesn't need to be a 30 hour process to make it feel fulfilling. It's fricking retarded at that point.

But w/e. People want it to take more time, so be it.

Personally I like the way it is.

That being said, get it in folks before it's too late.

Prolly the only"camp" ingame where everyone have the same goal and are actively helping each other without drama.(and all it took was faction for people to be nice to each other, no rules no staff no nothing other then faction)
Aye lets remove it asap, can't have people doing this!

Server is full of non-classic features that have been deemed better by devs.
