Factions (Idea)

[Devin Henderson 1]

It would be great if there were a feature developed and implemented allowing faction/clans that allowed maybe 10-15 players maximum in one. The host can name it, give it an image for a sort of logo, and invite players in. Factions can fight in skirmishes of Elimination or a different unique mode. A war can be started between 2 factions, in a possibly 15v15 battle depending on many members a faction has, and a faction can only use the guns and ammunition that the faction owns (not the player) in a war. Any crates that are received from skirmishes and other battles go to that faction, xp will be given to players as an award for being in that faction. Perhaps have the charity box accessible to a faction as a different source for crates, with the members being able to donate food to their faction. You could have a faction base that all members can go to and meet in character, with farm improvements to produce material and food for the factions for weapons! A lot can be done with this but with a lot of effort it take to make this understandably!

Hi, thank you for sharing your idea with us, we will share it with the rest of our team 🙂🍅

I can’t imagine this idea would fly given the engine limitations of the current vigor without a total rebuild sadly. Already servers can generally only hold about 15 people period without trying to turn it into a 15 on 15 war zone experience.

There’s also the inherent risk of further dividing the player base, creating a toxic culture of “must have x requirement to join”. while a new social space is nice an idea the development team for this would be small and likely unable to achieve scope at this level given major projects currently ongoing at their studios taking up resources ref Arma particularly. The donation box idea has frequently been bounced around by many including myself not to be too pessimistic because I too also wish there was use for food once your done with the shelter. Unfortunately fact is we’re only getting one new gun a season and last season is the first to miss out on a simple addition of collectible audio tapes for the chronicles story which would be indicative of a crunch already occurring that has delayed or postponed such content to a future season.

so yes sorry to burst the bubble a bit but I would personally prefer content additions in scope with what is more feasible for the smaller team such as weapons, a new map perhaps in a future season and perhaps a revitalisation of the airdrop mechanic. Aside from that major structural changes with modes and such not as much 💁‍♂️
