Civil war?

[TheTrailBoss4570]

Is it just me or has the server descended into civil war after factions were added?

 

[BirdOnAWire]

hahaha just a little. everyone against team awesome it seems.

 

[Godspeedz]

It's awesome, isn't it?

 

[BirdOnAWire]

hahaha Yea..

 

[YourMacManDan]

I warned about this.

 

[MrJangles]

We'll soon have factions running more on it's own.

You can easily take yourself out of the action by using /mwmute survival.

 

[andrew61]

I was afraid of this, I will be staying away from survival for a while for this to cool down a bit.

Naturally everyone wants to go after the faction they feel is most threatening.

From just being around it for a bit as a spectator, it's pretty mental.

I've noticed though that alot of people can't recognize their team mates and they often are caught off guard by a charging enemy (due to the whole confusion).
Perhaps certain factions should wear their armour a certain way like have all diamond and wear an iron helmet or all iron and a diamond helmet. I realize that would cause a team to have weaker armour but those examples aren't necessarily what a faction has to do.
I just think it would be better to be able to identify friend or foe from a distance rather than have to guess about it and waste a potion or arrows or even not attack and then that person gets the first strike.

Even certain skins would work! (ones where the faces are easily differentiated)
Just an idea.

I have yet to see this happen... Factions arent that big, its not that hard to remember who is on your team. What battle were you talking about link?

 

[MrJangles]

If I had a faction, I'd edit every players skin and manage ranks and stuff. Cool idea. I wonder if I can put a faction tag in the name above the player. Looking into it.

Any way to have the tag above someones name a diffrent color? Have it work with factions, green for your faction, purple for allies, red for enemy, etc.

 

[MrJangles]

Maybe, I'll look into that.

 

[limoman]

Your not here to have fun. Your here to work, now start diggin.

 

[michaelavena]

Is there anyway to make shared warps? Having 1 f home is a bit limited.

 

[andrew61]

About what Jangles and Michael were saying, in /f chat you can do /f title to give people specific titles when the speak.

 

[MrJangles]

Title won't work. It just adds more the faction tag which I'll get working soon.

I can't find anything that will adjust the your name above your head. Definitely not an option right now.

I heard in vent a few times some guys saying "Stop firing that's me!" or "Which one are you?!"
I'm not saying it's an epidemic, but the problem exists and with growing factions I'm sure the problem will do the same.
From the replies it seems as though the others agree.

 

[MrJangles]

Link, I absolutely agree, and I wish there was an easy answer. Does anyone know what other guys are doing?

 

[Androcks]

I also suggested the use of armour to distinguish teammates, and it is effective. But considering how much teams there could be...
we might run out of combinations.. or maybe(a mod idea) beside your teammates names is also their team name, which allows differentiation. Please tell me if this is actually in the mod, i haven't got online to look at it.
