Still having more emissaries to work for gives more options to do.

and once done within a week or so, nobody does them.
That's the issue with factions. They are too easy to level up, and there is not enough replay value for most because you know what you're getting.

Smugglers is a prime example of a good addon. It's not a faction to lvl up, but a story-driven group that isn't advertised and is either found or explored. Once you do there thing, you can keep going for the easy to best loot/or use stock up on there 1 good item :P

Still having more emissaries to work for gives more options to do.

There is new factions meaning new quests to do for the veteran players, more stuff to do, more stuff added to find (mysterious items/runes)

And quickly done leaving nothing left to do.

Look at when Rings were introduced with factions capping at 500. Players finished them in weeks....

This is what I had for these 2.

I also kinda want my own pirate name in the game. (I don’t have it in game but I always had a name for myself as a Pirate, Dead-Eye Seth Silver.)

I really don’t understand your question/point Elmo.

There is new factions meaning new quests to do for the veteran players, more stuff to do, more stuff added to find (mysterious items/runes)

Then I also had Pyromancers and Storm Striders idea as well in the post I made 5 Years ago that’s also a really good suggestion for a New Faction.

@truesoulenergy If your a new player you may need treasure but what about all of us that no longer need anything? none of this is even worth our time. Once you hit distinction 5 in everything like we have we no longer need to collect loot unless it is for a commedation we didn't finish yet. We have so much gold that we again don't need to collect gold. Until they give us more Distinction levels to finally be able to see a point in collecting treasure for companies and see progress going up none of this will even be worth it. You can get gold from raising your alliance flag and forming an alliance with someone willing right now. So my question then would be what is the benefit of this to long time players? And how would it even work out for new players if they were on a server with only players that had everything completed and they didn't need gold or treasure since they are already distinction 5 in everything?

Also I don’t know about Athena much other then it’s a Faction you get at Pirate Legend, idk if you can sell anything to that faction or not.

Yeah, I can see how the invisibility cloak thing probably shouldn’t be a thing.

I know I also had idea of factions before 5 Years ago in a former post I made, I just sent a link to my Google Documents about it rather then typing it all up here.

Regardless, I feel like it would be good to have a couple more factions in the game.

The reason Gold Hoarders pay Charity Union the least, is because they are the most greediest faction and doesn’t want to give away more wealth then they have to.

I feel like for Reapers it would be the opposite. The Skeleton Dude would be more than happy for you help on getting him more stuff. As well as it encourages you to give your loot to more Reapers. As you gain a benefit from them cashing in on your donation.

@truesoulenergy

My ship being invisible would seriously not be fair for others. I wait til nightfall, go over to that FotD, get into position, become visible at sunrise, and open fire at a moment's notice without them even seeing me coming.

You don't see how game breaking this would be?

You receive Gold and Charity Union XP when you donate loot to other players.

Nothing like free gold in alliance servers.

Gold Hoarders - 10%

Why of all factions so low?

Reapers - 80%

WHY are they higher and not athena?

If your fleet level is 4 or higher under their emissary, your ship will cloak at night appearing invisible to the other players and NPCs.

Over Power....and people dislike Reaper seeing Factions at lvl 5

When this happens you may not use the cannons.

Kegs, Fire, Island cannons...Rowboat with cannon.
