I am sure this must have been addressed before. I am UAX at 505k Balthazar factions. I don't get any Balthazar factions now even tho I PvP every single night. Technically, I should have over 700k now but, I am stuck.

So, I propose this:

1. Remove 10k cap on unspent factions. --or--
2. Keep 10k cap on unspent factions but track overall factions earned for the account. --or ---
3. Allow Weapon/offhand skin choices, Armor Choices by spending Balthazar factions.

What do you all think?

Thanks,

Vel

I've been waiting a long time to see #2. People like to earn faction points, but once you've unlocked everything, you can't gain any more points. The second suggestion will allow you to keep gaining points without acctually allowing you to have more than 10,000 faction at a time.
While we're on the subject, I'd also like to see a title that tracks faction point progression- this should be very easy to implement.

Yes it has been suggested before. There is also a big thread about letting PVP players unlock armor and weapons skins. There is no reason they can't do both. They should do both.

Faction cap should just be removed, period. It has no useful purpose whatsoever. It's an unnecessary annoyance that has no rational reason to exist.

Remove the Faction cap.

/Not Signed #1/#2 - It's there to prevent UAX as soon as the new chapter comes out within the 1st day.

/Signed #3 - I like the idea aobut using faction to unlock additional "skins" for the same items already offered.

Signed for not removing faction limit.

Not signed for allowing pvp access to pve skins.

UAX on the first day wouldn't change anything. Anyone who wants to do that can already do it anyhow via stockpiled skill points and/or stockpiled Flames of Balthazar.

Besides that, even if UAX was done on the first day, it's not gonna give anyone an advantage as no skills are that overpowered that simply having them unlocked will lead to a victory.

For all those reasons the logic of "keep Faction cap to prevent early UAX" is extremely nonsensical.

Number 1 is key and is long overdue. PvE players can wrack up gold and skill points and get everything new skill in a campaign in pretty short order if they choose. PvP players should be able to do the same.

Number 3 isn't really needed if they remove the cap.

Now you may rejoice
