[UO Herald News] Incoming Changes to Faction Points

Incoming Changes to Faction Points
   

We are looking at fixing the issue regarding faction points and the deterioration of faction points.  To fix these issues properly it will require us to wipe all faction points.

The fix will soon be available for testing on Test Center 1. We invite all of you to transfer your characters to TC1 and experience the changes as soon as it is ready.
Keep an eye on the Herald.

for those of you with millions of points............... screwed by EA again!

What exactly was the issue? Anyone know?

[Cerveza]

I suppose it would be that if you are a new player, and wanted to take advantage of faction items, it was near impossible to get the required points for the item on some shards.

One shard I play on is about 60,000 points to wear a faction Orny. Another shard is 10 points.

[Hoby]

that and I think it mentions about point decay, dont know if that means they will decay quicker or not at all.

DAMN IT TO HELL there goes my 1.2 billion points

On my home shard it requires 1 point to wear a faction orny

They need to make it so everyone can wear the gear. Maybe make it so points get you better discounts at the vendors or something. I don't know. But it's frustrating when I want to play a shard but can't get the gear to do it.

I have / had point holders on all the shards I play on, and yes..we ran them up to insane amounts but only because we had to. I am very glad that they are finally getting to an issue that is ...what..7-8 years old now?

This Dev team is so completely out of touch with the game and it's players. I am starting to highly doubt, for the first time, the OSI servers will still be up when and if I return from my game break.

Man, I was so totally stoked because I was going to ask one of you massive point holders to transfer a modest amount to me...then I was going to xfer that character to a shard where people don't need any =D

[manwinc]

Points don't transfer anyway.

[NObama]

Well, then...NUKE THEM ALL!

 

EDIT:  Wait!  I bet this will also fix the bug that lets me keep a bunch of characters wearing up to level 6 or 7 artys without actually having points....NOOOOOOOOOOO!
