"Domination Mode" and "Faction Scenarios"

(1/5) > >>

Eternauta:
I joined this game last year, a few weeks before the last wipe, so I think I am not familiar with certain things I hear about.

I am making this topic because I often read about something called "Domination Mode" and "Faction Scenarios", and I do not really understand what this is all about. I have searched the forum but didn't find any topic or post which could give me a clear explanation, but only vague ideas, like reworkig the crafting system or enhancing NPC factions. The Wiki shows no article about this.

So please, I would like to know what those two concepts are supposed to mean. Thanks in advance and sorry about my ignorance.

--- Quote from: Solar on September 13, 2010, 01:29:56 PM ---I expect most work for PvP to go into either Domination  Mode (basically a small team battle with controlled numbers) or Faction Scenarios (Basically exactly like the Arena, but with new maps, faction themed weapons and rewards at the end of them).

--- Quote from: Solar on August 05, 2010, 01:30:36 PM ---"Domination" will be where small scale fights happen with equal numbers. TC will be where there will be no limit on numbers.
I'd imagine there will be more restrictions on workbenches for advanced equipment, both linked to domination mode and in fixed places on the world map - depends if we get this finished in time.

--- Quote from: Solar on January 05, 2011, 01:19:49 PM ---I beleive we will see sandbags in domination, with them only being able to be deployed on those maps.
We want [in domination mode] to be lots of features that can be used on them - sandbags, mines, fences you can turn on and off, sewers for short cuts, turrets you can repair, etc.

--- Quote from: Solar on September 23, 2010, 01:48:22 PM ---What will be happening is faction scenarios. This is where you will be able ([after joining NPC faction]) to turn up, get equipment for free, head out to a map and fight against another faction's players for control of a tier2+ workbench, perhaps some XP or faction points reward for participation too.
[...]
The faction points I mentioned earlier would be a way of gaining rank, faction specific equipments and possibly unique upgrades - making it possible to earn stuff, gain exp and other things completely inside your faction.

Hope it helped.

Solar:
Wow, lots of me :P


To add to that:

Domination Mode basically will consist of several maps, which will be controllable. Unlike TC they will not always be accessible and unlike TC there will only be a finite number of players allowed to the fight at once - which will be controlled by NPC factions "hiring" players, up to the allowable number ... which more often than not will all be taken up by pre made player teams.

It will also seal off after the two sides are allowed to enter and no reinforcements can get in. You are essentially locked into a tactics like scenario of two equal sides with the winner coming away with a reward (ammo, weapons, crafting facilities, etc). Obviously theres a bit more to it than that, but thats the quick synopsis.


Faction Scenarios, depending on who you ask, can either mean the various PvE solo/team missions which can earn the player faction points, or large scale PvP involving lots of members of NPC factions periodically fighting over control of a key area - both of these will happen, the name can just apply to both.

The word "when" comes only together with "it's done".
