Mm I think we found the problem. I seem to remember someone saying that having +1000 and more of opposing faction was screwing up the faction buying.

Dreven?






Pretty sure that's the case. I don't have anything to back it up though, since in order to break it, I would have to buy 6000 Rebel FP to get Dreven out of negative numbers or 1000 Rebel FP to get Tristyn in the same situation...and I'm just not sure I'm willing to break either one of my characters...


I don't think it would've been a problem if they would've left the "Sell out" option in...then you could've just sold the excess opposing FP to your recruiter...

Same here, would have to get 6k of Imperial faction to test that.

Did they removed completly Sell Out?

I informed Caylin and Wes about this a day or so before the publish went live. Apparently they're either still waiting for a dev response, or the devs just didn't think it was a used feature and didn't care enough to include that in the patch notes...

It didn't work...

Used feature or not, it is basically emptying one of our Underworld box without telling us.

Maybe it is somehow related to the "announcement" we are waiting for.... something good to replace Sell Out.

Thanks Dreven.

My master smuggler is currently holding 18k faction, in buying faction - on this revamp I thought the smugglers 'artificial' cap had been removed, so I would be able to buy fron the recruiter up to 120k faction as colonel.
The option to 'donate' doesnt appear to me, I remember using this on TC,
Any ideas whats up?



The artificial cap was removed. But the rank cap is still very much in place. If you've reached your rank cap, and therefor can't gain anymore FP, then the option to donate goes away.
It will return when you can gain more FP, either by gaining rank or by purchasing items that take away from your current FP pool.





As I said previously , my cap is 120k as colonel, I have 18k faction on me, and the option "I'd like to discuss an equitable trade" or "Helping out the recruiter's bank account"
