No I don't want to see any faction graffiti in towns. I thought it was clear that it was only an example. Factions are changing constantly, people move from one faction to another, I really don't know any reason why should any gang have this privilege.
C) Why gangs should have get reward in (graffiti) any form from developers?
1) They are betatesting.
2) They are filling 2238 universe by missing content.. Small or big roleplay, even stupid play pn PK or ANTI PK is something that fills empty streets with something.
3) Long time existing gangs brings and acumulate new players. (More players = more fun).
I.e. Vault Silene Brahminy gang is linked with czech very popular Fallout games site madbrahmin.cz. Most players dont know anything about Fonline, or even about 2238, but their first infromation was from this site. Only our gang (and in czech community there are a lot of another active gangs, like Hawks, or solitairs), has cca 130 applications since january 2010 (since new gang forum).
And czech/slovakian community is only minority in Fonline. There are a lot of other gangs who do the same job (french, polish community). I hope you dont think seriously, that most faction players are recruted on the NCR bazaar or 2238 forum. How they would find that this mod exist? I am not telling that this is only our (gang) credit, of course not, but very significant part of it.
4) Gangs learn new players how to play this. Dont you realy think that players after fonline instalation know how to play, survive, enjoy this game? 90 percent of our aplicants write: "I want to join VSB, because i am dying too often in the wasteland, i hope i will enjoy some fun instead of pain in your faction".
So we give them advices, basic stuff, teach them game mechanism and some gangs, likes ours, demand anti PK behaviour..
5) Ingame behaviour needs little feedback. There were too many battles in TC cities and no ingame (story) feedback? Dont forget, Fonline 2238 is not Fallout 1 or 2. There is not background story, in Fonline NCR, there was never Chosen One from F1 or F2. But Linnela, Surf, Nixon, Crazy,.. yes, they were there. They were diying in TC cites and there is ingame relation between their factions and the locations.
We have jet graffiti in New Reno.. But there is not Myron creating jet..
6) Gangs would create graffiti by their own, so devs dont need to do many.. only check if the graffiti style is combatible with Fallout style and replace that part in the city.
7) I see this discusion pathetic. On other servers, they allow to create own ground base under city.. to support roleplay. We are here discussing about few stupid pixels on the wall. Hello!!!!!
Dont ask why gangs deserves reward, but ask in what way they have to be rewarded!
Better orientation in cities.. Teamate: "Where did you see enemy?" Me: "Near BBS graffiti" Temate "ok, i know.."
Your fear of graffiti is funny.. Cajuns, Orphans, TTTLA, VSB, BBS, Hawks, Crazy 88, Chosen soldiers, ... Simply.. the gangs who played major part in TC during last and previous seasons.. If GM cant recognize them, it is sad.
Inactivity: VSB, at this moment, is almost inactive (like almost everyone in wasteland, who played at the start of current era). Rest of us plays together in temporary gang with Hawks and TTTLA. But after wipe, when our players will return (like every era. We have our own questionnaire and statistic, we expect 20 or more players immediately after wipe. So the argument about nonexisting gangs is in many case false. VSB is proud that it is part of 2238 from the first open beta.
How many TC cites we have? Six? So 1, 2 or maybe 3 new graffiti in each city. Oh My ....ing GOD! This will ruin the entire Fonline 2238! Cities will be more empty! Trolling will start on this forum!!! Newbies will be confused when they would enter into those cities. We would lost relation with our roots! NEVER!
