Next Mail Sack, We Need Faction Info
So apart from Deej misspelling my name in today's Weekly Update and Mail Sack,
[spoiler][quote][b]Tetragon: You said we will learn more about PvP at E3. Does this also mean we'll get more information about the Factions, since they are integral to PvP lore?[/b]
Your assumption seems to root the factions in the competitive arena. In truth, each faction will have their own motivations for sending you into the wild on a variety of vital missions. They’re not just cheering sections for a competitive fracas. You’ll find their agents in their tower. You’ll discover their missions while you’re patrolling the wastes. You’ll detect their influence over other heroes of the City. Everything you do in the game will add to your understanding of the story and the world in which it takes place. Factions are colorful strands in that tapestry.[/quote][/spoiler] it was full of new info, and I loved all of it.
The only thing that bothered me was that, with all the questions about Factions, we received very little info about them, other than things we already knew.
[i]Then Storm Wolf stepped up to the plate:[/i]
[quote][b]Storm Wolf: Can you tell us more about the factions?[/b]
You know what? We can. We should. It’s time to reveal a thing or two about the mysterious socio-political forces that shape the culture and history of the City. [i]Now all we need is for one of you to ask a specific question about them.[/i][/quote]
What do you think this [i]specific[/i] question could be?
Next Mail Sack I'm going to post something along the lines of;
"[i]Deej, please tell us more about the Factions. What do each of them stand for? What are each of the Factions beliefs? What are their goals?[/i]"
I [i]really [/i]want to learn more about the Factions, and I'm sure the rest of the community does as well.
Maybe we can work together to brainstorm and come up with this magical '[i]specific question[/i]' Deej seems to be waiting for.
[spoiler]New War Cult is the Best Orbit?[/spoiler]

It did feel rather douchebaggy of Deej to say that since I haven't seen any question answered in the Mail Sack that couldn't be answered by using Google or the forums which has also pissed me off in general with Deej's question selection
-
2 RepliesI am going to ask more about the rocks. Now that they have confirmed rocks are in the game, I want to know more about them. I am sure most people on this forum feel the same.
-
2 RepliesThis is the first weekly update In a while that I feel satisfied with the info. I mean I'm never disappointed with the update, but usually I'm left with more questions than I started. This week I feel as though a respectable amount of questions have been answered.
-
5 RepliesNo no, ask about specific Questions tailored to the names. Is the Future War Cult going to do anything and everything to prepare Humanity for the coming Storm? Osiris, sounds like a Spy Ring. Am I far off? Why Seven Seraphs? What word describes each Seraph? If the New Monarchy wishes to reign supreme, who would lead it? Ask these types of specific questions, and maybe they'll get answered?
-
I wanna know what missions they will give us. Something like go kill enemies, steal something, assassinate, protect, guard cargo or locate something.
-
1 ReplyYes I too would like a mission statement about each faction.
-
I am so down for this! We need more! Also bump!
-
Ask about there Specific beliefs or what they mean
-
Ask about specific factions, or ask if certain factions will want me to kill specific types of enemies.
-
Edited by Sunshine: 5/10/2014 6:09:33 PMDo factions have different style of loot or missions and what not? I want another reason to like a faction besides their logo and backstory. Maybe they could have different attitudes of people running them, from nice or mean and serious but all about business. Or one faction could be all exos or all female. The choice should mean something since they're a big deal and only 5 in entire game.

Edited by Ktan_Dantaktee: 5/10/2014 6:15:42 PMI concur; lets get our questions out on this thread, list them in the OP, and then each of us can ask one of them on the Mail Sack. Worst case scenario: only a few of them would be answered. Mine would be: Do the factions have special missions or secondary storylines? Like faction quest-lines you would find in, say, TES?
-
1 ReplyAs one person stated below, immediately after Storm Wolf's question, they proceeded to answer a few questions on factions. I'm pretty sure those questions were the "specific questions" he referred in the answer. It was just Deej basically saying, "If only someone would ask some specific questions........Oh look at these specific questions about factions that were asked this week that we're going to answer." It wouldn't expect more info on factions next week. Then again, I'd love to be wrong and learn more about them.
-
1 ReplyYes more light on factions.
-
4 RepliesNext Mailsack, everyone should only ask Faction specific questions. That would be hilarious.
-
"Deej, are there any more factions that we are unaware of at this point? "
-
1 Reply"Deej, please tell us more about Factions. What do each of them stand for? What are each of the Factions beliefs? What are their goals?" You know Deej is going to make his answer to this profound and confusing.
-
1 ReplyNot to be a Debbie Downer, but I think that since all if the questions after that point in the Mailsack had something to do with Factions, I think those were the specific questions he was talking about. I don't think they're going to release much more info about them before E3. I could easily be misreading it though.
-
3 RepliesFactions excite me I cant wait for more details about thr politics in game.
-
4 RepliesI've never given much attention to the weekly updates, but this one really got my attention. You mentioned writing in the next mail sack. Forgive me for my stupidity, but is the mail sack and weekly updates by DeeJ the same thing? Because I'd like to write in the mail sack.

-
9 RepliesDo we have to reach a certain level before being able to join a Faction? Will / Can your individual clan be "sponsored" or sanctioned by a Faction?
-
As long as people ask questions about it, the devs will answer. That's what they said.
-
3 RepliesThis info about factions was really good, i will try to get a question next week about more details about factions. Hopefully they will respond.
-
3 RepliesAgreed ive been waiting on this info for like forever. To me it is the most anticipating info because i want to see how these choices impact not only our gaurdians but also the story line.
-
35 RepliesWhile we definitely shouldn't spam the mail sack, I would really like to know some more about the factions. They'll definitely disclose a lot (hopefully) during E3 since they directly relate to PvP.
