What faction do you plan on playing?
I am undecided between Vtec, and Lawyers, and still weighing the benefits of both/over all feel.
brahmin boys did not really interest me, even though some may consider me a country boy.
( I get hay for my land lords horses, I think it qualifies.)
But restoring law to the wastes, or advancing technology just seem like higher goals ^_^
plus their bases look better than a bunch of sand, or mafia Motel.
Please put your vote of which faction you plan on playing, and why.
-
The Family bitches!!
-
Im also between the lawyers and the vault tec. Firts off all, i like more the blue and gray combat armor than the brown and orange. And i agree that their headquarter looks better.
-
same, lawyers and v-tech are my favorite because of colors and nice bases
-
Also, I like the Vtec vault city music ^_^. I might spend a lot of time there, might as well have good fallout music. but lots of players probably have custom music playing.
-
Hello.
Is there any place to find an oficial description of factions. I have been reading about them but nothing found.
Thanks.

WIP when you click V technologists =/
-
I am thinking either brahmin boys, or Vtec is going to be the least popular.
* I think vtec is last on the list when you choose
* Vtec base in certain areas is very congested, people will be getting in the way of other people in the elevators, and rooms etc. and this will cause players to leave
*Brahmin boys will only attract certain types of players, not to insult anyone.
*havent really tested it, but it looks like there is a lot of running around in brahmin boys base.
And I think the two biggest factions are going to be lawyers, and family.
-
there actually is a fast travel system, at least in lawyers and brahmin boys. It can certainly be fleshed out a bit, but you can talk to "servants" for the lawyers for example to get ported to certain locations within the map. Same for the BBQ.
-
What do you mean, the last of the list?
Otherwise, I agree that V-Tec base needs some changes to make sure it's not uncomfortable to play.
As for Brahminboys, I'm not sure. I think they have a lot of potential. Perhaps not many people will see it, at least at start, but I believe they'll change their mind at some point.

oh ok, i knew lawyers had but did not know brahmin boys had porters.
-
actually, they dont have it on the version the server is running, if it wasnt updated. Every faction will have fast travel, anyway.
-
I'm actually a bit partial to the Brahminboys. Ciciro's Rough Ranchers has a nice ring to it.
-
what faction suits you?
Thats the good question. Where other gangs from other FOnline server gonna to play? Coz we didnt decided yet. I think we (Rogues) might be most numberous group on this server so its important to keep some balance.
-
Its all a matter a role-play for me, I think the Brahmin boys would suit my freindly but take no shit kind of RP style. However the family is really interesting. I think it will have to be a decicion made when the option arrives.
-
We (Red Dot Army) will choose The Family.
-
I think the real question is, will you roleplaying the faction you picked? I certainly will. Going to be a future-day Roosevelt. 8)
-
V-Technologists for me.
-
more than likely i'll shoot for the vtech but we will see :P
-
I will probably try the brahmin boyos first (just like last open test). Though it might change after i see what the teams actually look like when the pvp gets rolling.
-
Tending to go for the family at the moment.
-
Although I am leaning towards Vtec, I do not really know how to role play them, Lawyers, easy to RP, family, easy to RP. They be going around saying ''you are unlawful" or "you have been judged" What am I supposed to say to people when I am vtec? "I have a high tech vault and suff but uhhh, i still need to get loot from the city, so all your base are belong to us"
I mean seriously when you think about it the Vtec faction doesn't make any sense, aren't they already supposed to have technology? like vault city? They don't need to loot the core, and fight over zones.
-
I'm guessing Brahminboys
-
We (ARWH) will be fielding a lot of faction members to the V-Technologists, so I'd advise other factions looking to join in and grab a faction for their own massive numbers to look elsewhere, since there will be player registering limits per faction in place, to my knowledge, and we wouldn't want ours nor anyone else's factions to both be stuck unable to register if we both picked the same faction. Brahminboys seems like they would have a lot of space open.
-
since there will be player registering limits per faction in place
No, not immediately. This whole situation is able to solve itself dynamically once the server is life and there is no reason to make an artificial choice for a certain faction because of that. Every player should pick what they want and then we'll see.
-
We will introduce mechanics to prevent joining a faction if that proves to be required. Keep in mind as well that nothing prevents two factions to unite, even for a short period, if a third one proves to be too powerful.
I don't know how many ARWH members will be joining, but it seems unlikely that your presence only will change the balance that much. Or are you bringing us 50 champions?
-
Good, If I join Vtec I will have some backup ^_^
Does ARWH have a lot of american players? It seems like a lot of russian/polish players log off around 4 PM my time or so, leaving me to fend for my self...
-
yes that 7-10 hour time zone diffrence kinda puts a damper on things lol
-
What does ARWH stand for btw?

From what I understand V-tec recently started recruiting wastelanders. Look at it this way, the more recruits Vtec have the more tech, gear and supplies they are going to need. You dont have to RP as a V-Technologist. You could RP as one of the unscrupulous wasteland types that they have recruited...The possibilities are endless my friend.

I don't understand this post ??? So we shouldn't join V-Tec because it belongs to you guys? and if we do, We're in your faction by name only? I genuinely don't understand what you mean.

He's just saying his gang, or group is gonna join V-Tec

The Family is love. The Family is life.

He was under the assumption that there are limited slots per faction, for some reason.
Kind of an embarrassing post, really.

He was also under the impression that he could command others to choose a different faction because his clan is so big and great and jolly that they deserve a faction just for themselves. Not just embarrassing, but kinda ignorant when you think about it :-\

It was for competition's sake, really. The larger factions from previous games likely wouldn't want to be on the same side as each other, as it would discourage competition.
I don't believe that it was in any way meant to deter people who aren't already in factions from previous iterations. Previously unaffiliated players should be encouraged.
-
Good, I will have the entire ARWH Army to protect me ^_^ but I still don't know what ARWH stands for :P are you guys from TLA ?
-
I think it was Anti Russian Wasteland Heroes, if I remember correctly.

LOL are you serious? good, that means I don't have to worry about time zone difference, or are they all Polish? Either way it is kind of racist :P

It could be a bunch of Americans who think there are way too many Russians on Fonline. (Even though it was made by Russians... :P )

It's more of a tight knit group of skilled players, about 10 or so. ARWH was the first, and undeniably most successful American faction. American players have always been the minority of FOnline players, and it wasn't uncommon at times to be red-listed (kill on sight) for being American. The name is in reference to the large portion of Russian players from the original FOnlines and their Russian tendencies (griefing) as a sort of "us against the world" sentiment that the game often gave.
I believe Nark's post was pertaining to the practice of European factions merging to field 60+ members on ~100 population servers. I've always been against this as it ruins the spirit of competitiveness.
Albeit the 4 faction system in place for AoP already creates this scenario, at least it isn't "I'm tired of losing, so I'll join the winning team" attitude that we have seen time and time again in different FOnline iterations. Hopefully faction locking can prevent this, and keep the PvP balanced.

I check the forums like every 15 minutes, how did I miss this guys post?
All American faction? Awesome! Nothing against russian players but it will be nice to be in a faction with people in my own time zone.
-
Which faction has which colors?
I don't want to be the lawyers, Because they sound like corrupt cops, I don't want to be Vtech because they seem like the Elite 1%, So i guess it's between the Family or the brahmin boys.
Although, I do not know the lore of Fallout, I have only read their faction descriptions on this site..
Anyways, What color is The Family and brahmin boys ?
-

When you've been cruising the wastes on multiple servers, for many years, you don't see it as racism anymore.
Many Eastern European players tend to have no shame when it comes to exploits and monopolies.
But, the past is the past. I look forward to the four faction system, and meeting and cooperating with many new people from different countries.
Anyways, What color is The Family and Bohiem boys ?
Brown and... Boheim? heh. Orange.
-
Well, I'll be picking one of those, Don't know yet.
Anyways to contribute to the anti russia conversation...
I used to play HnH, It's a permadeath open world pvp game. It's dieng out now, But in it's peak days it was;
English VS Polish VS Russians
It was so racist, It almost felt like RP.
-
I used to play HnH
bear cloaked russians tearing down palisades with their bear bands
roaming gank squads in boats with full ranger gear
the initial spawn in a new world, as people try to smash each other's boats because they don't have murder yet
personal claims that went halfway across supergrids just to claim a shitty copper mine
That game was a bit harsher than any FOnline, that's for sure.
I remember once a group of people tried to boat bash me, but I got on shore and picked the boat up, and then they apologized and left.
Such a strange game.
-
HnH?
-
Haven and Hearth. Avoid at all costs.
Trust me, it never ends well.
-
Heeeeeey, Americans, my home tribe but they're joining V-tec so ehh.
-
BB :)
-
Yup, BB is the only right thing for my Boys ^^!
-
Is there a way for not choosing a fraction at all?
I mostly play as a solo runner, specialized in small guns Sniper/Gauss for long range and a shotgun for shortrange, so will there be a possibility of leaving all those big houses behind and playing a full solo/loner game?
-

I read somewhere that it is possible to be faction-less, But you will be missing out on [key?] features and it's not recommended
-
You can play as a loner, but you you won't have access to crafting stations, you won't have a private room or base, no merchants except for the ones you find randomly in the core, no random assignments or other quests, and you won't get any rewards from Zone Control. You're still welcome to play as a Loner though. Wasteland just got harsh for real! :)
-
Then it brings me to another question,are there any loose crafting stations outside of the faction buildings, and how does the crafting system work, does it have levels and proffesions as in other Fonline's ?
-
it should be explained on the wiki. everybody can craft everything but you have to learn the plans from your faction in exchange for relics found in the core.
-
So no solo high lvl crafting...dammit...Looks like you guys are forcing the factions thing. Well time to choose one.
-
Yes learn your relics, don't confuse them for trash or other things.
-
for me and my buddy, when it comes out were going for v tech.
-
Yes learn your relics, don't confuse them for trash or other things.
What are relics...
Also, I've finally made up my mind, I'll be joining the family.
-

When you talk to the crafter guy he tells you to bring relics, different relics will let you learn blueprints to different weapon types, i think they can be found on the wiki?
Technical Manuals - for Pistols and SMG's
Encrypted Holodisks - for Assault- and Sniper Rifles as well as Shotguns
Blueprint Parts - for Big guns, Heavy Machine Guns and Light Machine Guns (LMG's)
Blue Memory Modules - for Energy Pistols and Rifles
Maps - for Melee Weapons and Spears
Chemistry Journals - for Explosives, Traps and Drugs
-
So no solo high lvl crafting...dammit...Looks like you guys are forcing the factions thing. Well time to choose one.
To my understanding; the TIER 3 weapons and armor are to be very hard to craft and should require the cooperation of nearly the entire faction to craft. The components are a one-of-craft (by that I mean you can craft only one with the blueprint then have to find another for that component). This makes them very rare, valuable, and likely powerful.
I enjoy the idea of the factions rushing toward a common goal of crafting these near super weapons. Then fielding them in battle, and potentially swinging things in their favor or losing substantially.
-
I'm torn between The Family and V-Technologists, though I'm leaning more towards the latter. We'll see when the server's open, maybe I'll change my mind altogether.
-
Hehe, that lawyer combat armor does look really nice, but I can't just choose a faction based on such an aesthetic choice right?
I think I will end up with the family as I did always love the gangsters in fallout 2, and I would like to re experience that.
-
Ok decided. Our faction, mostly Polish players gona join Brahminboys.
We will be quite many , so other teams should adapt to keep some balance on server.
-
so other teams should
There are lots of groups who have decided to be BBoys ;), no point in saying "you be that, we be this"
-
the thing - most proably our group will be most numberous team on this server so its fucking important where we going.
Other way game will be broken since day 1
-
then you'll win the server, don't expect many guys from oldies unless it's C88 or Rogues, some teams retired some don't play FO at all, even if this is something new, so expect fighting tons of noobs, which actually for noobs wont be funny, getting splashed many times :P.
-
the thing - most proably our group will be most numberous team on this server so its fucking important where we going.

Not true, the factions will balance out. If you look at other comments there are many players going for other factions and some even mentioned Brahmin Boys before you so rudely tried to call it for your own faction and advised everyone else to be your enemy so you guys can have people to kill.
Either way this is not the same FOnline you played before, things will be different. New enemies and new allies, don't you find that exciting?
-
Stem Sunders, I guess you didn't get it, they got a ready faction which was playing together since XX time and on other servers and they won't broke up, simply they'll just join one of the most empty faction to balance things out, you cannot do brahmin shit about this I guess, they're old players they know the mechanics of the engine, they'll adapt quicker and what goes with it, they'll kill newbies easier than anyone else, that's why it's so important.

Thats all fine, thats not what I'm saying. Regardless of them playing together for X amount of time, that does not give right to call a faction for your own before the servers are even up. Makes me feel as though I'm not welcome in that particular faction. Brahmin boys is my first choice.
And if I feel that way I'm sure some others will too.

Well, you can join the faction, but don't get mad when they don't give you details about what they're up to now, what zone to control etc.

So if you go back and read some of my previous posts on this matter....We are in the same faction by NAME ONLY. What is the point of FORCED factions if its the same setup as before? E.g you have your own group and to hell with the other guys
Very disheartening.
-
Well, you won't shoot each other, they'll just do the things with their friends, and when they'll be doing some pvp u can join along but don't expect to know the movements etc. I don't know how to describe it more easier.

A more in depth description is not required, I understand you perfectly.
Each faction will have a faction with in it which will have other groups inside that. Who don't communicate with each other.
So when I join this forced faction (Forced as long as I want benefits) Yeah they won't kill me (maybe) but faction base is reduced to nothing more than a hub where I can buy/sell or go afk, all the while my "Faction" runs around doing shit without informing anyone that wasn't in their previous faction on a different server....IN MY HUMBLE OPINION! :D
We shall have to see, what faction you going for? just out of interest.
-
Im going to ******* (Clasiffied info), NOD cannot reveal themselves.

House Harkonnen 4life, much more badass then NOD.

-
I'll me and my mates will definitely be joining BB mostly likely, or Lawyers. Were all American, so hopefully the racism barrier isn't as bad as 2238.
I remember I actually had to name my character something in Cyrillic to avoid being KOSed. And say "Privet ))))))))))))))))" every time I saw a Russian.
-
I will most likely go with the Brahmin Boys. Never been big on energy weapons, and I like the idea of a democratic system. opens up to a lot possible updates by devs for social hierarchy and player development of the faction.
-
I've never been on 2338, and play Fonline only for 1 year now, so I can't say how it was before, but now Fonline community (especially this untranslated server) is diverse, far from being Russian-overcrowded. Most of the community speaks English.
E.g. my group is international and we have people from different countries, using English to communicate and there're many more like that.
-
I'll be joining The Family.
-
Brahmin Boys or The Family
The Brahmin Boys lore kinda fits for me but I also like the idea of The Family
-
I wish the factions were more "diverse".
"We love technology!"
"We love Brahmins!"
"Let's shoot each other!"
"Great Idea!1!1"
-
BB for sure!
-
I'm more then likely going to join v-tech.
-
Me too V-tech for me 8)
-
i got my eyes on the family but i'll probably play neutral for a ong time, y know, just so i could find out more about the factions than what's i nthe wiki
-
I'm the LAW!
always wanted to say that ;)
Faction choice is probably obvious.
