Title: Faction Overhaul
Post by: Tuathanach on November 23, 2020, 12:09:36 pm
As mentioned in the Dev Q&A 22nd Nov. We are in the process of overhauling Factions. I would like to utilise the creativity of the community in this endeavor. I am looking for Rank name and description as well as player title. We want this to represent player reputation within faction rather than their skill level. As a guide each faction will have 10+ positive ranks and 3-5 Negative ranks. If people wish to contribute ideas message me hereor on the discord channel.

Some of the factions (may change) we are looking at are:

Religious|Magic|Trade|Law & Order|Other
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------
Black Flame|Azure Way|Artists|Government|Fighters Guild
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------
Dakkru|Blue Way|Crafting|Guards|Gladiators
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------
Laanx|Brown Way|Food|Thieves|
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------
Talad|Crystal Way|Merchants||
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------
Xiosia|Dark Way|Science||
--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------
|Red Way|Smith||



Example for Talad
Rank|Name|Description|Player Title
--------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+--------------
10|Talad's Light|You are filled with Talad's light.|Prophet
--------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+--------------
...|...|...|...
--------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+--------------
1|Newcomer to Talad's Flock|You seem to be fond of Talad\'s beliefs.|Initiate
--------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+--------------
...|...|...|...
--------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+--------------
-5|Heretic of Talad|You have forsaken Talad.|Heretic

Those kinda sound like achievements  ;D
'You have obtained the "Heretic of Talad" achievement! A new cosmetic title has been added to your inventory.'

In some ways they are achievements. They are to represent how much trust and respect the faction has for the player rather than the players skill.

Maybe they could have a reward associated with them in that case, outside of quests.
