No more than 100 faction points, no less than 50. And no different fornon-humans in the Empire.


My thinking, if you are going to be PVP'ing a lot that day you are going to be loosing a lot of faction points anyways. Dont make it cost so much that players have to run missions for an hour or two before they start PVP simply so they dont end up with less than 200 at the end of the battle.


Especially if the other side has combat medics, and lots of them.

CHEAP! Nothing like 1000 FP or anything, probably 500 at the most and even that is a little high, If I'm going to go on a raid and I'm a little short on FP I don't want to have run an hour of missions before hand just so I don't have to worry about decay


On another note you could potentially give levels of no decay depending on how many FP you want to spend, like say, you could spend a lot of FP but you'd get a week or even a month of no decay, or justa small amount and get the 1 day protection, things like that'd be cool

Faction pass day? Sorry, but since this game makes millions of dollars a month, it is quite sad this is the best thing the development team could conjure up.



It's only 44.95 a month. Thats pennies a day! Surely this convenience entices you! Pornography and online gaming at hundreds the times the speed of your normal advertising service provider. It's so easy to use, and the surgery to implant it in the base of your skull is so painless, its no wonder I'm number one!

Umm 10 to 25 FP.


Make it so ya can get multiday versions as well. Maybe a 7 day one would be good also.



Although I do agree that the idea we need one in the first place is just wrong.





Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

In the teams effort to resolve the PvP Death and Decay, what we are going to be able to implement (for publish 7), is a Faction Combat Day Pass. This "day pass" is Insurance.


You check in with your faction recruiter, purchase a day pass for faction combat (PvP and PvE), and for 24 hours, you will have no decay on your insured items.


How much do you think this should cost?








NO DECAY IN PVP!! CRAP MAN....quit trying to bend us over a locked container!

I certainly think it should be free, but i doubt that will happen. I personally would buy only very rarely, if at all, if it cost more than 50 fps. 50 is reasonable, but i wouldn't buy that often. 25 would give me some incentive to PvP. Higher than 50 and I'll just continue to remain out of PvP altogether.

I agree with Free Beer since weren't you initially going to implement this where there simply was no decay at all for a pvp death?


A better solution might be to just simply remove decay on insured items period, and also not increase how much that costs. Personally I think it is lame that I pay to insure my stuff and it still decays 1%.


I would also like to add that this adds one more annoying step in the whole process of enabling oneself for pvp, and what's worse about it, is it basically means one must pay to pvp. (although we already do pay too high a price to pvp in terms of item decay, not to mention speederbike destruction griefing.)

0 fps I think my 15 bucks a month should cover it.

Why do you continue to ignore the core issue, that armor should not decay both on use and death? UhOh Q, they are on to us, let's start another thread, that will distract them.
