Title: And another ridiculously failed in game system works its magic
Post by: AexDestroy on March 03, 2011, 06:22:06 am
84 faction names gone in one day.  Suppose the devs never thought about the fact that rich assholes like making the game unplayable by others.  Or like all other issues of this nature you just laugh at our misfortune.

So, what Gameplay Help is this thread exactly?

I'm honestly surprised that only a 400 or so population could take up over twice the amount of bases...  It's fascinating really how much we need those "connected to name" bases....

Please tell me from where you get this info, i'll be very glad. But take this hint first: thread with available names isn't updated every day but once per few days,week, depends on free names available.

Why not just allow players to choose their own faction name.

Sure you might get dumb names like "SuPeR Pwnz0rr" but who cares?

It shows new players how to do it wrong.

This is off-topic and has been discussed many times: (http://fodev.net/forum/Themes/NewBabylonTheme118/images/english/search.gif)

Why not just allow a gang to buy more than one base/faction names ?

This idea is well

Dev's could open (again?) a thread with the Names and Devs Choose them

Also I am aviable to Pick the good ones out so i sent them to Devs (Wipe?) and they choose again that they wont have so much work.

If this is acsept from Devs, I open a Forum-Accout for this.

There is some bug right now that makes new faction names not possible to take. We are working on it.

The list was updated 2 days ago with the patch.
I know where the list is and there were 84 new names put onto it.
And same as Bandole, I tried ALL the names on the list to no avail.

Where can we go to learn if/when this has been fixed??
Some of us have been waiting a long time to get a base, and its the only piece we still need for our gangs of friends that we play with.




*******And my apologies for my brash response here.  Was very frustrated at the time, and am sorry for blowin it up.
*******Glad to know its just a bug, and am looking forward to the resolution.
