Title: Unknown invaders!
Post by: Stem Sunders on January 18, 2015, 05:21:57 PM
A good thing can't last forever
Gentlemen, Phoenix has attracted the attention of unknowns, possibly hostiles. This city is going to get smaller...Its gonna get messy, its gonna be awesome. 8) *coughs*

Will it be all out war? Will we see faction alliances? Maybe the four existing owners of the land band together, to drive the invaders back into whatever pit they crawl from!

Ill break bread with the Lawyers before I give up an inch of land to these pretenders that would take our homes!

This war has only just begun...

Sorry, I dunno I got excited when I saw it.
Has there been official word? Am I the only one that didn't know?

Speculations? I'm wondering if they will all be introduced at once. :D

Well I knew it was coming eventually! obviously :D

But I didn't know even "unknowns" had been added to the table. I didn't think it would be that soon.
Didn't hear anyone talk about it, no one told me and I haven't seen anything online either :P
I kinda took seeing that as "Soon"

Either way it was a nice surprise, I'm excited.

they have always been on the table though. The next 4 factions actually already have patrols walking the core.

Are you freaking kidding me.......I guess I never read between the lines......

Should pin this as an example of a bad thread. :-[

One time I thought the mutant at family hotel had been removed, but he was just in the corner, like duh.
Ok everybody laugh it up  :D

Hound Square will have a bit of a russian flair, think stalker.

In any case, next season will only see hound square and borreal church, not all 8 of them.

if Hound Square will have a gard standing in the entrance wearing red combat armor saying "Get out of here, Wastelander" then it will be my pick for greatest faction ever

My guesses as to what colors would fit the factions:

Church: White
Syndicate: Black
gig company: purple ( not really any logic behind this one, but i think purple shouldnt go unused)
hound/stalkers: light brown/olive (just something that resembles classic military colors and doesnt look like the current green combat armors)

There needs to be some "no-morales" faction... ke-ke-ke

u need to recolor each fucking .FRM , u know how many .FRM only one death animation has ? now add Weapon Animation , Idling Animation , Knockout ........................................................................  now multiply all with 6x because u have 6 directions for same animations .

trust me if it would be easy work we would have tons of different colored stuff ... plus there are still Critters in game which dont have .FRM for specific tasks , for example vault city black vaultboy cant run , some cant hold knifes like tribal females and so on ...

i think we can be thankfull to what we have already to the people who made it happen , if u know what u doin its even hours of work now imagine someone unexperienced , it might be days just for a different color lel ... welcome to old classic fallout modding

I guess if a scripter and an art guy get together they could probably write up some script to apply a specific filter to a whole bunch of frms, but no matter how you do it, it still takes time and effort. The next 2 factions are purple and red so there wont be a problem with it. For the last 2 factions, the "desert combat" will stand out from both lawyers and family armors well enough and then the syndicate COULD get the black ca.






As long as it doesnt mean that half the server joins syndicate for shiny black cock ca.

don't worry, it's gonna be split between the Church, the Syndicate, Hound Square and The Family because:

Bridgekeeper's Robes (yes, i know your secret)
big black dick Combat armor
people will wanna teamkill eachother and call it: "syndicate wars"
GEDDOUT OF HERE SDALGER
Shiny Red Combat Armor

It may not necessarily need a wipe to be put into the game but I'm pretty sure there would be one. :)

If more factions will be added while the player base is still low, we may need a reliable system to make alliances and form squads between different factions.

a wipe will be required in order to re-balance the game and for the factions to be equal, or else it would be fucked up

only 26 people online during peak hours, better add more factions to thin them out even more so.

oh good, it will be
0 Brahmin boys
5 lawyers
3 family
4 Hound Square
3 Borreal Church
4 Gigs Company
5 Syndicate
and 16 Vtec
during peak hours.
Glad these new factions will be added to level the playing field.

Thinking about it, two new factions won't be added until next season.
New season means a wipe, a wipe means new stuff and new stuff means people come back to check it out.
Maybe the addition of new factions will better accommodate those players that left and still remain elsewhere for one reason or another.

I dont think it should be based on current player base (Which is very slowly growing  :D )
when factions will be the same until next season.
After a wipe and what is sure to be many glorious additions and masterful refinements, the addition of hound square and boreal church makes six in total.  ;D

What was the playerbase at its best? 200-300? (Just pulling that number outta my ass seriously) try to imagine 200-300 people spread across 6 factions.

Of Course there will always be some who choose other servers for whatever reason, and I suck at numbers but you get what I mean right?

Im afraid so, you turned something with a great story background (the mafia) into AoP's very own carebear hugbox faction

The hugs are to better crush people.

Besides, Family sticks together! It is beter to be part of a "hugbox" than part of a swarm composed of crazies, noobs and dumbfucks.
