Newbie Quests that Give Faction

[MadLordOfMilk]

While making a Brigand alt on test to mess with, I noticed that the newbie quests gave status with the various factions... but from what I can tell, there were only Dismal Rage and Freeport Militia quests. Are there quests that give status with the other factions at all in FP? I'm not sure if there's anything similar in Qeynos - haven't done a ton with a Qeynos char yet.<div></div>

I believe Arcane quests are in Graveyard, Dismal Rage in Sunken City, Militia in Ruins, and Buccaneers in Sprawl.<div></div>

Alright, cool, thanks <span>:smileyhappy:</span><div></div>

<div>And where are the Coalition of Tradesfolke faction quests? Why is it even a faction if they are always going to be leaving it out? They still don't have T6 crafting writs in the game. I'll be damned if I'm going to buy another expansion when they haven't finished the last one.</div><div>Guess I'm just screwed because as a crafter I chose to try and get a faction title from a crafting faction.</div>

<div></div><p>The Sprawl has a new faction 'The Dreadnaughts'. Tradeskill changes aren't complete so there may still be something. In Qeynos all the faction quests are for Qeynos Guard only so Freeport has the advantage there with only the Seafury's not having faction quests.</p>

I noticed that if you start the first faction quest in the sunken city it progressively leads you to quest givers from each of the factions. They are fun  but once I hit ruins at lvl 8 it got really hard lol.<div></div>

<div></div>Did they fix it yet so you can actually see a message about what faction you are gaining/losing?  For some reason the messages disappeared when the faction window was put in.  It is REALLY REALLY annoying.  I shouldn't have to try to guess if what I'm killing is affecting my faction with something else.

<div>I'm still getting the faction messages in my chat logs, I'm not sure what category they're under but they show up under the tab I called 'log' still and have all along. That tab includes the messages for the following categories of text:</div><div> </div><div>All under 'Game Text'</div><div>Narrative (under Chat Text/Nearby text)</div><div>Everything under Character Text but pet</div><div>All under Other Text</div><div>All under Command Text</div><div>All under Consider Messages</div><div>All under Tradeskills</div><div> </div><div>Check those areas and see if you have one unchecked, if so that's probably why you're not seeing the faction messages (my guess is its either narrative or one of the game text options).</div>

<div></div>They weren't working before.  This must mean they fixed it on the test update.

<div></div><div>I hope you bugged it, also this may seem obvious to some but if you're both seeing that behavior while I'm not are you using any UI mods or a custom UI? I'm using the default UI just with the windows moved around. Sometimes a custom UI ends up breaking on some of these updates because of file changes and if the UI doesn't get updated for the changes you can start 'missing' features. They're actually still there but the custom UI no longer knows they are because they've changed slightly.</div>

[Pashta]

<div></div>Nope, no custom UI's for either of us.  No map thing either.  Maybe I'll try that later but I'm afraid to hehe.  Since faction messages were off for both of us I figured they were off for everyone...  I could swear I asked a guildy about it and he said they were fixing it in LU19.

<div></div>you talkin about the message where it says "your faction with so and so could not possible get any worse / better"?  if so ive always gotten the messsage.

[Pashta]

<div></div><div></div><p>Well I looked carefully and it seems there was a Faction box that was unchecked in the chat tab.  Maybe when the update came it changed something.  I find it hard to believe that both my husband's and my check boxes would both come unchecked accidentally... but I guess it can happen.  Thanks very much, it should work now.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Edit:  All my characters had that box unchecked except the newest one.  Something they did changed it, that I am sure of now.</p><p> </p><p>Message Edited by Pashta on <span class="date_text">01-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">01:35 PM</span></p>
