@Bala I dont think anyone disagrees that it'd be better if we could offer rewards that'd require development changes. However I do think it is important that we can offer something that we can actually deliver instead of having to say its something we can look at in the future. The reason we dont offer a higher faction member cap as a reward is because we do not believe this would improve the faction variety in the server. We believe this would have the opposite effect of that as more people just join an existing faction, get the rewards that they are looking for and don't take the effort to create something unique that'd benefit the server. Keep in mind that the tier rewards are an extra on top of the "standard rewards" that official status would bring. Most of these tier rewards were not offered prior to the tier system or even during the F4 system prior to official factions and Faction Services as a whole in 2018. We offer factions, official and non official, the opportunity to create and apply for unique RP opportunities that they can setup themselves with the help of the Event Team and FS, which in turn could further their type of RP. Feel free to suggest rewards that'd be more of a pat on the back. We are always open for suggestions!

@Marksy Weapon prices will be reviewed with the new gun update that is in the workings. @Rocky BolognaAt this time we don't believe that shrinking factions is the best move. However, this does not mean we won't consider it in the future. @MortemWe have discussed the topic of a "black market medic/criminal medic" before. However, to properly introduce this feature we would need some script changes and can't offer it as a tier reward at this time. @Beet Did you read the original thread?

((Hello everyone! Since this was an event that influenced most of the server, we feel that it is necessary to post a final message on how to proceed with your RP surrounding this event. This RP is now officially over and NLR will go into effect. This means that Matthew Burns will start roleplaying for the government again unharmed and with no memories of this situation. We have given the LEO's the opportunity to continue with forensic RP on the remains of Matthew Burns specifically from the 06/JAN 2200UTC until 08/JAN 2200UTC. From now on this situation must be referred to as the kidnapping and murder of "a government director" instead of "Matthew Burns".))

After discussing this topic further amongst senior staff we have come to the conclusion that our current rules cover this issue sufficiently already and no changes need to be made. 7. IC and OOC Interactions Offensive Language, Sexual, Torture, or Disgusting Roleplay Players are only allowed to engage in sexual, torture, or disgusting roleplay if all players involved including witnesses give prior OOC consent. Such roleplay should therefore not be held in public areas or areas where players commonly visit, e.g., prison/jail. Usage of ethnic and/or LGBT+ related slurs is considered disgusting roleplay and all parties involved must give prior OOC consent before it can be done. In addition, it must make roleplay sense for your character to want to use any racial slurs In Character. Racism Out-of-Character is strictly forbidden. Players using offensive language excessively In-Character through text or VOIP must stop if a player asks for it Out-of-Character. Players are not permitted to use offensive language Out-of-Character to others. Punishment: Anything from a warning to a permanent ban, depending on the context, severity, and occurrences. If a player continues with this kind of behavior after they have been asked to stop, they can be reported to staff who will then deal with the situation. Bakmeel

Thank you for making a considerate reply. Merrry Christmas.

Hello everyone! I would like to give a small update on this. As you are all aware, when I first posted this message we pitched this idea originally as a test and to begin establishing a format for the events. So far, we have done 7 of these events and we are very happy with how things have gone so far and are proud of all the people that have participated. I would now like to announce that we are moving into the second stage of testing and expanding this event. The second stage consists of involving factions that do not have handlers yet but have made IC relations with the cartel and whom we believe to be positively minded people. This does not mean that every gang who starts out will automatically get an invite to these events nor should they intentionally seek out a relationship so they can participate. However, we have heard your feedback about expanding inclusion and are seeing how we can develop this expansion through IC interactions. I would like to remind all the gangs who have participated so far and gangs that will join in the future about the following: What do we absolutely not want to see? - We do not want to see these events turn into shootouts between factions or with law enforcement. - We do not want to see these events turn into situations where poor RP standards are displayed. - What should you do if this turns into a police chase? You can evade the cops all you want though it should not end in a shootout. Please continue to give feedback as this will help us to improve the experience for everyone. Faction Services Management

-1 I dont care

ok

No. We haven't encountered a situation like this before, but I am confident we could find a solution for that player/faction if this was the case. Every tier can already request altRP every 2 months, we have no intentions to make this longer for factions below a certain tier. We already offer something like this at Tier 5 - Ability to import rare drugs such as Shrooms and Steroids via LFB/Cartel. These are drugs that can't be obtained any otherway currently and can be resold by gangs to actual players. I like your idea, but it would require development work which is why we can't offer it as a tier reward. The time required for someone to get official is completely depending on the faction itself. We have had factions go through the tier 1 stage quite quickly where as others needed some more time to be ready for tier 2. Our tier system is not something scripted, this means that if we give a faction an F4 menu theyll have access to taking over turfs and ordering, this in turn means that Faction Services has to keep an extra eye on all of these factions. With your reasoning this would mean that you can tell each other to save POV easier with an F4 menu whilst we already allow factions to have a discord where they can send OOC messages to each other. We mentioned starting in tier 1 or tier 2 in our F.A.Q. Q: What tier will I start in? A: A faction will be placed in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 once they recieve official status. This is due to a large number of factors including reviewing how our Official Faction system is working in conjunction with the present amount of factions and server environment. Too many official factions, especially those similar in nature, as well as too few official factions, have different impacts including but not limited to minimizing perks of official status as well as crippling potential criminal roleplay. Because of this, the tier system's starting flexibility is important. This is definitely something we can look at in the future. At the moment the modding team is still very busy getting the first batch of outfits in the game. Once that process is running smoothly we will look at expanding rewards done by modders.

I have removed some comments that did not follow the rules for this thread. Please remain on-topic. Original post can be found here https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/133247-faction-services-tier-sytem-explained/#comment-436351

- No, these reimbursements are only for the faction itself. So scripted stores such as general stores, gun stores, dealerships and loan companies will not fall under this, nor will it be for subsidiaries. - Nice idea, we will look into it.

- As we rather see more diverse factions than larger factions, we will keep the faction cap at 40 players for all tiers. - We have a discount on everything you can import at tier 7. We have heard your feedback on lowering the prices in general for heavy weapons and prices will change for all weapons with the new gun update. We are unable to give you an ETA for this update. - Shipment power should be the same on all of the turfs. This is still a bug that needs to be fixed by devs. - We have stopped giving out vehicles as rewards for official status/tier rewards and will not be implementing this. - Alt RP is a colaboration between FS and the Event Team. We work on a first come first serve principle. The more complex a request is the longer it will take to prepare everything which can delay other requests aswell. Usually these events can only be done in weekends due to the availability of staff members. If you are refering to the waiting period between requests its due to the work load for the event team as they need to plan and organise their own events and give other people a chance aswell. This would require development work and is not something we can offer as a tier reward.

This thread is to discuss tier rewards and/or give us suggestions on new tier rewards that we could implement. Keep in mind that these suggested tier rewards should not require development work. Please keep this thread civil and stay on-topic. Comments that don't will get removed. original post can be found here:

Hello everyone, we hope you are all doing well. We will be starting with something that will hopefully add some enjoyment for criminal roleplayers. Our plan is to create a car boosting job where you’ll have to steal a parked high value car somewhere on the map and deliver it to LFB/Cartel to get a reward. How will this work? - Your faction leader or/and HC member will receive a text from LFB with the requested car. - All factions will receive this info around the same time. +/- 10 minutes. - You are expected to find this car, picklock it and bring it back to a specified player or specified location. - The faction/person who delivers the vehicle will be rewarded with packed cash or other rewards. (We are open for suggestions on this matter) Who is allowed to participate? - Every criminal roleplayer is allowed to participate and turn in the vehicle. However, only factions with handlers will receive the information. When will this be? - As this will be new for all of us, we will be testing when to do this and how often. For now we are aiming for once or twice a week, mostly around the busiest times on the server. (around 1900 and 2200 UTC). What do we expect from factions? - We expect to see teamwork within the faction or between factions to find this vehicle. What do we absolutely not want to see? - We do not want to see these events turn into shootouts between factions or with law enforcement. - We do not want to see these events turn into situations where poor RP standards are displayed. - What should you do if this turns into a police chase? You can evade the cops all you want though it should not end in a shootout. Side notes: - As this will be setup without any development changes, the staff team will have to work with the tools that are available to us now. This can cause some "continuity issues" in the forms of the car being registered to the person who you are supposed to deliver it to. We do want to mention that these "boost job" cars will not be registered to that person ICly. (We are eager to hear your feedback on this!) - As these are non scripted events, the availability of staff will determine when and how often these events will be. We know this is not optimal for some players however we would like to ask for your understanding in this matter. Keep in mind that this will be a trial for the whole server. If things do not go well, we will not continue with this idea. Any faction or player that is not adhering to what is written above may face consequences. - Faction Services Management -

Hi Greenblex! I am Bakmeel!

Hello and thank you for sharing your concerns regarding this topic. We do feel that our change where factions have to stick to the areas their lore places them, is the right way forward and will continue to do so. That being said, we can understand that you'd like some more turfs to expand into. We have been adding turfs step by step over the past 7 months, placing them where we see them most needed and will continue to do so. I'd like to clarify that Faction Services never told Royals that they are limited to the turfs they currently own and are allowed to contest neighbouring turfs with sufficient reason. Faction Services is planning to rework the old war system (which is not currently in use) completely and redesign it around attacking, holding and winning turfs in a controlled and enjoyable way for all parties.
