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

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

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.

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.

[TheTylerLee]

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.

[TheTylerLee]

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.

[Smalltime]

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.

[faopcurious]

HnH?

[Smalltime]

Haven and Hearth. Avoid at all costs.
Trust me, it never ends well.

[S.T.A.L.K.E.R]

Heeeeeey, Americans, my home tribe but they're joining V-tec so ehh.

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

[Lidae]

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!

[JokeMaster]

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 ?

[John Porno]

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.
