I'd like to somehow organize a faction that is a conglomerate of factionless players.
Our goal will be to scavenge and attempt to create a known neutral ground between this conglomerate faction and all others. (Or just killing and doing whatever the fuck we want) Allowing inter-faction trading/sit-downs/deals/alliances etc.
Perhaps utilizing the sewers to create a safe haven for traders/scavengers.
If there are others looking to take the challenge to slowly unite the wasteland and (more than likely) die trying, show your support here, and PM me to get my voice communication info.
(The sewers will be our home, and the core will be our playground)
-
Nah there will always be that dick squad that shoots anyways and causes chaos.
I think devs should implement a barter ground similar to reloaded but 4 of them.
-
The idea sounds good, but please...the care-bears, really? How about The underground? The network, or The sewer surfers?

Lol the name was not serious, just the idea. Would need to see if there is enough interest before trying it out of course.
-
Interesting concept actually. I mean server just started so lets just see where factions we have lead us, but god idea in any case.
You can leave faction and unofficially do this, but I guess some small hq is sewers would have to be implemented if this would catch on.
Love the idea, but for now its unnecessary, as we got enough choice and server just started.

This is currently how a few of us are doing it. We are welcoming others to come join us. Just be in our mumble server so we can communicate with ease! :D
Hope to get the Sewer Rat populace booming!

Filthy freelancer scum can be useful as mercenaries, and barterers...
What is the color of the faction-less? Perhaps I will not shoot your people, you can swayed to the Family ways yet.

When we are officially factionless we will have bright white nicknames (Assuming you didn't change your colorizing.txt)
There will be no order with this group, certain cells of them may be friendly, some may be murderous, there will be no heirarchy or leadership to speak of. IF you wish to join, leave your faction and wander the core.
If you'd like to join other Sewer Rats, message me for our radio info.

How many of you around? I will definitively look out for you factionless people. I can see the potential, yes, in ZCs...
A question: How do the factionless intend to guard their items?

5 with the group I'm part of, however we're still part of a faction until we are a sufficient level to survive off the core alone.
And we keep our items on us, or stash them somewhere clever. We won't need much.
-
Hey faction-less people, try this: before leaving a faction take a mission and leave some stuff there (or at least visit the location). Then turn your cloak into white, and see if you still have the mission location on the map. If yes = best faction base.

Will do, I'll let you know how it works. may be a few days.

Interesting!
Anyway, do send some feedback. Factionless must be ultra-hardcore due to the fact you got everybody as non-friends.
Here's a good dev suggestion for you to take to them: Change faction-less names. White is too close to the grey used by Lawyers. How about green?
-
White is a neutral colour.
-
White is a neutral colour.
Still think Green is better, white is too close to Lawyer grey. Green is pretty different from every other color.
Hell, I have problems sometimes telling BBs from Family due to their yellow.
-
Ok, so I tried this out a little I have a few findings
Family was least hostile to white name tags (Guards also wouldn't shoot until a family member did)
With Vtec a close second.
BB's shot on sight (The ones I could find)
Ironically I couldn't find any lawyers to test on and see if they were fooled at all
The sewers were very boring all alone, but I did make a friend. I also found it quite peaceful at one point.
I successfully removed and stored items on GATE exit grids, due to timer.
There were more friendly players than one that shot on sight. Surprisingly more than if I had one of the used colors
I helped a Family member fend off rad scorpions and a V-Tec farm some brahmin. I then placed everything I found at family base.
I died a total of 2 times in around 2 and a half hours, which is considerably less if I was my regular color and spent that time in core or around enemy gates, but of course I didn't encounter enough players for it to be tested properly.
and once there is a known "sewer rat" faction peoples attitudes may change for better or worse.
I think thats all, hope it helps in figuring something out sounds like a cool idea, I had fun for a couple of hours.
Screeeeens
-
The Pariahs? The Outcasts?
But where will you store your loots! :P
In seriousness, I thought there should be an "outcast" faction, but of members who have been kicked from their faction, doomed to wander the wastes eternally with no loot storage and everyone seeing them as a free target.
This sewer rat faction actually sounds fun and cool though, as a way to not be a part of the bigger factions but also in the game, but, from my perspective the Family is already there, being the least present on the ZC map and relegated to different tactics as a result. There's really no need for a fifth faction and base while we are the weakest.
-
actual factions state is cool. dont need to add anything. if you want your ass be kicked and raped and stuff just join family
-
One of the best ideas for expanding the game. I had something like that in mind too, a neutral population of outcasts and scavengers sounds great fun, but only if there are others too because otherwise will get boring quick. Unless you want some solo experience of course.
Actually gonna try that, will see how it goes.
-
I think I saw a sewer rat yesterday in Vtec gate alongside a Brahmin Boy, we shot him like hell but he escaped. My pals thought it was a lawyer (told you that would cause mistakes!) but I'm pretty sure it wans't, color wans't right.
-
Tried that too, played a bit and it was fun.
Some impression : was fun lurking the sewers for a bit but got boring after a while so I go to the surface to meet the factions
Vtecs they see me and start shooting I say neutral and they stop realizing that I was not lawyer, one also said that I was shooting his pals, thinking I'm a lawyer. Killed some aliens together later.
Lawyers well I didn't try to get to close at first but when they saw me they didn't mind, wasn't able to talk they were running.
Family Saw 2 said hi they shoot me kill me then say hi and leave. Friendly like the Family, well my faction so I expected that.
BBs I didn't see yet but I have an idea how they will respond.
-
Seeing that I have not much time on my hands lately, I might give it a try.
No promises though, because The Family is still the place I love the most.
**rolls eyes**
-
Are the rats still active ?

I dont think there was ever more than one player trying this at any one time, id gladly give it a shot with you if you want to.
It will be more engaging with someone else. The only problem is finiding eachother after a death? Perhaps a pre determined location.
I really want to try this out for more than a few hours at a time.
-
Its a great concept, and I wish I could do it, but there just aren't enough options for wandering. It needs to be fully fleshed out to really make it attractive. The lack of benches is a big one.
-
I detest the idea of using the sewers as a safe haven, those are technically meant to be escape routes, not some place where you can squat.
If I do catch anyone down there I usually kill them without question.

I'd expect nothing less than an enemy to open fire in the sewers.
Sewers can be used as what ever the player feels like using them as.
Escape routes, Entrance routes. Or my favorite, ambush and choking points.
While staying in sewers as like a squat would be a really bad idea. it is probably the most unpopulated place in phoenix and I think thats why it was suggested as sewers over any other area.
I really think its a cool idea, but like people said there would need to be something in place to support it because of lacking workbenches and stuff.
-
One little advantage of Sewer Rats is that because they don't have a base, they revive on top of a faction gate in WM instead.
Me, I do think we could use a little more support to Sewer Rats, but that would be more appropriate for when the neutral safe haven shows up (IF).
-
Some of my team mates and i have considered the idea of having some neutral characters, but we have too ongoing project that prevent us from doing it right now.
-
Not top priority but its on "the list"
-
Hi there!
This sounds very interesting, i would like to join this "project" of factionless players.
See you!
-
maybe some little rat factionbase would help , with workbench for example ...
-
Hi there!
After a little experience as a factionless user have to say is funny. I just wanted to tell that i created a squad with the intention to make a factionless players. I m not leader build but is something.
In other way i have created a sg fastshoter and i level killing npcs, that s all. Some of faction players are paceful others not... and i m really thinking about reroll in EW fastshoter so is easy to find laser rifle with expanded magazine and some ammo.
If anyone want to join factionless squad or have any idea tell me.

Is this you? "Mercenary for hire" :D
I'm up for making a factionless player and running around with you.
Or you can come with us like this guy did.
If it wasnt you that is, if it was next time dont be scared ;D

Cirno you give me boner.

I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA. THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEUTRAL WORK BENCH SOMEWHERE IN PHOENIX.

-
Sure

What for?
- for the factions to keep camping in a zone while crafting? Not a good idea.
- accessible to only factionless people? That could work (unless factionless start killing each other wbich would be a bit pointless)
-
If I wanted to join this RP as one of the Sailors... Would I need to read the entire last thread i wasnt a part of it but ive seen a little bit or can i just make it work from your sinopsis?
-
I'll be coming back on or right before the 15th. What should I expect upon returning as I've been out of the IC/OOC loop for about two/two & 1/2 months?

AoP is waning in playerbase due to happenings on other servers and what was basically a giant test of AoP in season 1. Still fun to be had, but I'm more or less waiting for next season.
-
we have some decent smalltime pvp at server and i enjoy it ...
-
I would rather twiddle my thumbs here in this game with no players around than play any other game. At least I can organize my loots again and again.. so many containers in our base... I was telling Takahashi mk2 how relaxing it is when the platoon (Andrea) is power scavenging and I'm just in the base sorting and crafting with my left hand while I keep the weed flowing with my right hand.
I swear watching the stacks of perfect equipment grow never get old.
Only in AOP baby
-
i have to add that a few things. scavenging and progressing is most fun and rewarding here, compared to other games, including other fallout games. Classic fallout had a story but I have no interest in one. Other games have lots of fluff. What I mean to say is that we need to make our own content here. I don't want to hear anyone complaining about the game. discuss how to make the content better. Is that even possible really? ;D
-
Rather than doubling up posts, try out the "modify" function :)
I hear very little complaints about the game, (Ones that aren't complaining about the four faction system and no 1hex etc) most of what I hear is praise.
Shame the last numbers didn't reflect that.
I'm certain the future is bright for AoP.
Also, you might not have to organise your loot manually much longer, we may be getting a sort function.
Check it out.

I have no idea of if/how/when i would set it up, but i would definitely want to try this.
No place to store gear, no paycheck, no zone, it would probably feel like playing a whole different game.

I think a few of us should create new factionless characters and get together on teamspeak. I'm willing to try it out if a couple others are with me.

I've been playing as a sewer rat for a few days honestly. Have one of my friends with me. Fun as hell darting through the city. Using mostly salvaged armour that's been beat to shit and back, trying to keep enough ammo to actually fire your guns.
Definitely seems like he lawyers are the most sewer rat friendly faction though. Come across about four of em today. Three of em ignored me. Actually ended up talking with one for a bit.

Probably because white looks similar to grey hahaha
-
Na, got called sewer rats. They knew what we were. :P Still, I think I enjoy playing as a sewer rat more than I did as a actual faction member oddly enough.

Currently, i am not quite sure if i will play factionless or stop AOP, but i'll make my stand pretty soon.
Although, it would be interesting to add a few things on the mix :
- A roleplay : Being crazy monks, a new groups of gangsters, squatters, something to define our indentity. Established factions already have an identity. It could be interesting to find our own.
- A purpose : Once we levelled our characters, we might end up at a loss of things to do. I was thinking about protecting/claiming the whole hospital, both on surface and underground. We can't start ZC there, but we can protect the loot. We can, for instance, stop everyone that try to scavenge in those maps, and ask them to pay a fee if they want to scavenge. If they don't want to pay or if they don't pay enough (or if they attack) we kill them. It would be our HQ, like the four factions already have HQ.
- If we have enough players/levels/gear, we might also try to ZC in other zones, by attacking everyone, or supporting a team that defend their zone (family at Eastern, Lawyers at adams, BBoys at central, for instance). Of course, supporting a faction, then another, is assuming that they respect those rules too.
-
I love this idea and will join you.
-
Send me/count your new characters nicknames by mp or on this thread, so we could create a squad with the first few people available. (The official chat is another option)
I can log in before, but i would be more available in three hours, so if you want to set up things before, just tell it here.
Since there is no faction channel for factionless characters, the squad will be very necessary.

This idea is gold. Count me in, I need to do something other than ZC. When I create my factionless Ill message you.
-
Sent a message to those already interested.
If you want to join us, use the forum to reach us and we will provide ways to meet.
I don't think you will have any chance to find us, just by wandering ingame.
-
We started the squad yesterday, and had three people, but not more than two at the same time.
I suggest a scheduled meeting, so we could gather at the same time and the same place so we could see how many of us are interested, and if that crew could have future.
For me, the best schedule seems to be next monday at 9 pm, GMT+1.
I provide means to contact us to those who tells here, or by mp, that they are interested in the project.
If you think i am too pro-active, feel free to tell it, propose alternatives.
But, from my perspective, i got tired of AOP factions, and their lack of balance, both when in the winning and the losing side. So i don't intend to play the game if not for this project. It doesn't mean that you HAVE to join. Join only if you like the idea. But that i prefer that we poke each other when to come to play this, than wait ingame and end up doing something else. I will end up doing something i don't want to. (at least for now)
-
The sewer rats brigade scouted the whole phoenix and became aware of the new color of the wasteland. Cheers to the family/BBoys/Lawyers to paint phoenix in their colors agains't the blue swarm.
Next scheduled meeting is this wednesday and 8 pm GMT. (and not GMT+1)
I hope we will be a bit more numerous.
At this point, we are too few, with too low lvl so we don't engage in ZC, and try to not PVP. We will tell it here, if we change our mind.
-
I can't believe I have never seen this thread before, all this time I've been wandering around alone in the sewers XD I'm totally in.
-
For now, the next scheduled meeting is on monday at 8pm GMT.
BUT...
We were quite a number during the last scheduled meeting. We might be enough to have a reliable squad even if we aren't all there.
So if you want to set up other scheduled meetings before monday, feel free to suggest those here.
-
How about Friday 8pm GMT? I can't make Mondays or Wednesdays, and I'm GMT - 8 so that complicates it further.
-
So our evening is your noon.
Dunno about others, but won't be there tonight.
