I TRIED PLAYING WOW RECENTLY BUT WAS YEARS AND YEARS LATE AND I PICKED ALLIANCE SO NOW IM HERE EARLY FOR THE HORDE xD Sorry and thanks for the video OP
As someone who just plays solo, has no friends who are likely to play and who just wants to wander about cutting trees down, mining ore and killing monsters im going to choose the purple one cause thats a nicer colour 🤷♂️
I feel like it would bring a lot of fun if the best players swap between factions (from highest to lowest) to give themselves a new challenge as well as help players who may have not had a spotlight win some stuff
Lol all I could think when your head first popped up was the munchkins song "We represent the lolly pop kids" lol just kidding mate. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know yet, if you join discord, I am seeing if we have enough to start a company, so far we have...just me but on the discord and on youtube I will say which server when I know, but I am EU and going syndicate!
We have a small community 2k player , we write out a poll and 60% people vote for syndicate and 25% vote for covenant and basically 5 % vote for marauders.
So is the system flawed or is my game bugged? All three factions own ONE territory on the server I'm on but I can't change to either of the others because "You cannot join the faction that is currently controlling the most territories" WTF!?
While you could grind your way through the game, you will be at a mega disadvantage, most of the normal quests are done through your faction, and I think you need to join one to progress with the main story (not sure about that one). I doubt it would be fun not to join one, but you can join one and not do pvp!
I grinded to level 20. haven't allocated any points into anything: stats, territory, nothing. Factionless, no benefits. Just myself. The game is alright, got a few lvl 50 trades within 16hrs of game play already. I am enjoying what feels like a hard-core solo adventure.
sucks because I like the armor of marauders better but friend wants to play covenant so ill have to choose that to play with him. Not a fan of the hat. Anyone know if you can get knight armor as a covenant?
lots left out here about fraction changing, like do you lose rep? is the faction thats does not get to join the big fights just unable to do anything other then run around and get xp for nothing?
Then the video would maybe be 10 minutes long, but it's a fair point. You do lose all faction rep and gems, you start from scratch basically. The second point is a bit odd, so the main reason to be in a faction is to get benefits and quests from your faction, you can do that in any faction, but you won't get the territory benefits as you will not own any if you are in a crap faction, you can still play the game you just won't get a few benefits (like taxes etc) and may be les likely to be in the wars (but maybe a small faction can concentrate forces etc.
There are dyes in game, you make them via cooking. There is no best faction like that, maybe marauders would be more thematic but none like for 100% but you will get lots of pirate looking game
@@jayoddity oh ok thanks for the info. I thought syndicate would have the more pirate/musketeer armor due to the hats and white wigs. I’ll try dying my armor red so I can me a musketeer

Great vid 👍 but does anyone know how to level up within a faction? The armoury has 5 lvls with 4 locked. I get to lvl 1 with the progress bar touching lvl 2 but the game just tells me I have hit the max (3000) amount of tokens.... Not sure how to get to lvl 2
You can! sort of, you can still get faction rewards, you just won't be doing the sieges or getting the little buffs in your territory. Which is nice but not a requirement
I do not know, I tried finding it but couldn't, I think it was changed after preview, that's all I know but confident it is true but I couldn't get the official source.
No! Sadly you get tied to one server per character, and rumour is one character per server but you can have two characters, so one on 2 severs (but it might now be 4)
Thats not realy true, the game director him selfe said that the thing u will buy with your faction points ar very different. for example marauders have mor damge utilitys and covenant more armore
When and where did he say that? I asked quite a few people in the know but this was pre beta so it could have been wrong, and I could be wrong but I have not seen any evidence of this.
@@jayoddity I sadly have only german sources but it was an interview between him and the interviewer with explicit questions about it. I can send u the german source and u can translate it maybe
@@moritzhimym1754 yes please do. My info was other UA-cam videos and members of the discord, obviously it was pre beta and I haven't leveled a character to check but I might
The problem i have with this is i have played 3 faction games and ultimately it ends up being 2 factions with 1 barely squeaking by or being tag teamed. Usually makes it very unfun in pvp so im curious how they will balance it.
I am struggling to get my voice sounding natural and clear with EQ. I naturally have a muddy voice and mumble, so trying eq clarity but obviously not well! heh
Pardon? I'm not sure what shell I need to break out of. Honestly I probably would try some of they were legal :-p but these days I'm unintentionally t total on everything good
@@jayoddity lol I mean, I don’t know you personally so I couldn’t say anything for sure, but psilocybin for example is incredible for widening your perspective in general
why is it so dam rare for open world pvp in mmos... i thought that was what it was all about in mmos back when they started.. now its all about raids and pve shit.. they need to reset the factions every season..
Where is your data from? On some servers yes, but there is a google spreadsheet floating about showing covenant a distant 3rd with Syndicate sneaking the top spot.
"if you actually have friends". Thanks for the vote of confidence, man!
More of a self dig. None of my team life friends will be playing sadly
@@jayoddity it's cool. Just kidding :)
@@DavySilverwind All good, I was amused when I said it and was editing, realised it sounded a bit sarcastic lol
@@jayoddity I have a few friends playing all going stinky stupid syndicate.
I'll be a chad libertarian marauder and killing all of them.

Purple is my favourite colour :)
@@gtpapex9814 I've just started a discord channel, I am a nobody right now (and probably forever) but could always get a little group

@@gtpapex9814 I can link it here :) Discord - discord.gg/AmG5uzbpSv
Love these explanations - all the info, none of the bumpf - well done, just subbed :)
Thanks, and thanks for joining discord :)
I feel like it would bring a lot of fun if the best players swap between factions (from highest to lowest) to give themselves a new challenge as well as help players who may have not had a spotlight win some stuff
I think the best faction is the second biggest, not overwhelmed but not dominant
I’m currently a marauder for beta but I’m switching over to covenant because the faction heavy set armor is red lol
As good a reason as any!
Lol all I could think when your head first popped up was the munchkins song "We represent the lolly pop kids" lol just kidding mate. Thanks for sharing.
Hehe I don't mind, all good thanks
I quite enjoy the concept of these short and "to the point" videos you have.
I'll do a few more when I am max level and stuff :)
Syndicate or Covenant seem the most interesting to me. My friends want to be Syndicate so I will probably rock that with them. Cool videos!
Yeah I like all of them, for me I just want to be the middle faction but don't mind which. Thanks :)
Yo just found your channel. GOATED content! I can tell you are passionate. GL on your UA-cam Journey! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Thank you very kindly :)
thanks lad i never played a mmo and im trying to learn as much as i can before i play
Ooo you should be in for a treat, just keep in mind these things generally take a bit longer to play than most other games. Any questions let me know
@@jayoddity thank you dude appreciate it
Are you enjoying the game so far? I havent gotten it yet
@@grant9005 I’m only starting it today but I really liked the beta 2 months ago
Jay do you have a clock ticking in the background? can hear it getting picked up from your microphone, I kept listening for it :)
No clock. I wonder if it was the backing music, I always have a battle with volume. Is it in any other video?
very informative and high quality vid tbh bro good work genuinely thought u were a massive game news channel
Too kind, thank you very much :)
I have a friend… I want more of them. Where do you plan on playing after launch? I’ll be your game buddy.
I don't know yet, if you join discord, I am seeing if we have enough to start a company, so far we have...just me but on the discord and on youtube I will say which server when I know, but I am EU and going syndicate!
We have a small community 2k player , we write out a poll and 60% people vote for syndicate and 25% vote for covenant and basically 5 % vote for marauders.
We will have to see when all the players get in there!
So is the system flawed or is my game bugged? All three factions own ONE territory on the server I'm on but I can't change to either of the others because "You cannot join the faction that is currently controlling the most territories" WTF!?
You will have to wait, it's because they are all joint the biggest faction and you can't change to the biggest faction
I believe as the game expands they'll be more factions. They have to flesh out alot of economic factors in the reasons behind pvp... great game
ooo I doubt more factions, the system is flawed right now
Covenant for me.
Almost all the comments are saying that, maybe I am the heretic!
In the same fight as you brother.
@@apollogamer649 No, dammit!
Question: Do you have to join a faction? Or can I be my own adventurer and just enjoy the New World my way? :)
While you could grind your way through the game, you will be at a mega disadvantage, most of the normal quests are done through your faction, and I think you need to join one to progress with the main story (not sure about that one). I doubt it would be fun not to join one, but you can join one and not do pvp!
@Devil Bird I think this when people don't want pvp scaling :)
I grinded to level 20. haven't allocated any points into anything: stats, territory, nothing. Factionless, no benefits. Just myself. The game is alright, got a few lvl 50 trades within 16hrs of game play already. I am enjoying what feels like a hard-core solo adventure.
how do you rank up to the next category like level 3 to 4 im stuck at 3 max reputation
Is that the last one? Some times you have the quest and can just go kill what you need, sometimes you need to go to faction guy
Thumb up for the under 5min video. good job
Thank you, I am trying my best not to woffle lol
Awesome info thanks mate! New sub.
My pleasure, thanks :)
sucks because I like the armor of marauders better but friend wants to play covenant so ill have to choose that to play with him. Not a fan of the hat. Anyone know if you can get knight armor as a covenant?
I think you will get something similar, there's lots of fashion style choices and dyes, you just won't get the iconic look I think.
got to go covenant, they look so much cooler than the others :)
Hey, thanks for being the first to join the discord and I do like the look of them!
Covenant look cool like vampire hunting pilgrims plus Deus vult
@@karikaru I personally just not into the religious vibe but Vampire hunting I do like!
i plan covenant myself, they look best

I feel like people underestimate deus vult culture, covenant will not be the lowest
I could be completely wrong for sure! We will see
Cheers mate, simple and to the point
thank you :)
How do you unlock the next tier of rewards from the vendor like the level 20 gear and so on? im lvl 20 with the 3000 rep needed but it wont unlock
Hmm that may be a big. I'm not certain, I can't remember from preview sorry and I'm only level 8 in beta! Sorry.
You should do a quest to get templar title
@@mizg3779 Yeah for anyone reading this, in your journal there is a quest to do at about level 20 to get to the next rank. For all factions.
Can you recommend the best faction for pirate and musketeer gear? Are there color dyes yet or only at launch?
There are dyes in game, you make them via cooking.
There is no best faction like that, maybe marauders would be more thematic but none like for 100% but you will get lots of pirate looking game

The third faction will be left behind....
*covenant bros: I think not.
We will see :)

@@jayoddity ahh right. Thanks. My habit of doing the first few quests then ignoring the game's instructions and wandering off strikes again 😂
@@Tek_TierZer0 I think the game doesn't do a great job of explaining stuff at times
@4:00 so it'll end up like Planetside 2 with the Freedom Boi's

Bonus checks
Hello Jay, will you be starting a company or discord server? I hope so because I would like to join, send link. great videos thanks.
I wanted to but we don't have the numbers sadly, but come join us on the discord (link in description)
So if u are in a low populated faction, and u dont do pvp, u will never get any of the benefits ??? 🤔🤔
You can! sort of, you can still get faction rewards, you just won't be doing the sieges or getting the little buffs in your territory. Which is nice but not a requirement
where can I find this faction change in the patch notes?
I do not know, I tried finding it but couldn't, I think it was changed after preview, that's all I know but confident it is true but I couldn't get the official source.
Can we server hop in new world? I have buddies all over the world!
No! Sadly you get tied to one server per character, and rumour is one character per server but you can have two characters, so one on 2 severs (but it might now be 4)
Thanks for the video, bud.
No problem 👍
Im definitely listening to this guy, he looks like he hasnt slept in days
Lol I wasn't even tired, I just naturally have very baggy eyes

For the light? Maybe
@@jayoddity yea just checked with them last night and we going Covenant, not mad about it or anything though.
Wtf if I knew syndicate can dress like plague doctors I would have picked them instead of covenant
oo that's the best thing about them but I think there will be a skin for everyone soon.
Almost like political parties. Eventually it balances to just two groups
Yeah in the UK it's exactly that, 2 sensible sized one and one and all one
Definitely going Syndicate
A wise choice
The problem i have with this is i have played 3 faction games and ultimately it ends up being 2 factions with 1 barely squeaking by or being tag teamed. Usually makes it very unfun in pvp so im curious how they will balance it.
Yeah, I can see that happening, it already is!
