Random FC invitations

Can we get a Decline check box option menu in the future? the reason I don't wanna join an fc is that my sub ends next month and getting kicked for being inactive if I joined lmao so yeah I'm not interested in joining one atm. Or at least for now til I sub more I guess xD

Try setting your status to /busy to reject them.

I don't know how much of it is done with the best of intentions and they just aren't that great at communication, or how many of them are wanting to pad numbers or whatever for whatever reason; but it almost comes off as airport bluejacking the way some just seem to wait for sprouts in major cities and drop a request before even sending a tell or anything.

Join it anyway.
Its their fault to invite random players who just disapear without notice.

And there is a small chance that they dont kick you and the FC overall becomes inactive.
So when you resub to the game and the other players of the FC are still inactive, then you become the owner of the FC and you can make Gil with it.
Maybe they still have a FC house and Submarines to make long therm money.

Or just use the FC points to buy a lot of ceruleum tanks and sell them for 150-200k each 999 stack.

Unless if the FC's roles are structured poorly, you'd need a role that'd give permissions to purchase/use FC credits. Unless if you're planning on long-conning them for chest/coffer/credit access, it's not really worth the bother. The only real worth for being freshly invited is if they're using FC buffs on the regular.

Not really. If the leader is offline over 35 days it passes to the highest member that has been online in the last 7 days.

Yes, I should have mentioned that.

Many FCs die quite suddenly with no one logging in anymore. When the leaders are not logging back in, the active players just leave and join a different FC while the inactive players stay in this dead FC.
So even the lowest rank member of that FC will get the leadership when they log back in.

I find it really funny how many tinfoil hat theories a simple act can have.

How about it's a lot more enjoyable to play with people who share the same interests? Or having people to help you if you have a question, or if you want to farm something? How about help with a dungeon? What about the extra XP rates?

It's not that deep..

Padding numbers means nothing. Who the F cares you got 2 people or 512? It's an MMO... it makes sense to interact and get together with other people. You can join, reject, or leave at any time without any consequences or drawbacks.

First of all, you get invited for a reason. That is:

- Current player needs people to sign their FC papers so they can create it.
- FC needs at least 4 people so they can buy a house

or

- They just want random people inside for fun and to flex how big their FC chest is while you will never get anything. Honestly just make your own FC and benefit from it. There's no point to join some other FC.

Sometimes it is good to stay in a dead FC because you can take ownership and then you run it for yourself.

Been an annoying practice forever. Most FCs just bulk-invite to brag about “active” numbers, even if half the roster is invisible. I run mine the opposite way — smaller, tighter, and social. No-nonsense, unfiltered, and fun… and yes, the whole “You pull, you tank” crowd (among others) doesn’t apply here. That apparently makes us a crime against the fragile, muted, hand-wringing types dominating the game these days.

At the end of the day, as a leader, you get to choose what you are aiming for, and how you run the FC. But, man, personally, I cannot imagine being an FC where the leader polices you around how you should or should not play.

If you were on Dia... I would randomly invite you. join us potato.

in end you are better off with an FC than w/o an FC. if you don't want random invites create your own shell FC or join someone else save your tears for something important.

^This

And just to clarify — I technically only own the deed to the land and "lead" the FC. The members themselves run the show when it comes to submarines, crafting, gardening, and other projects — their input helps shape our goals.

Some of our members also have an Oceanic FC, and they asked if it was okay to use our workshop to craft walls, submarine parts, and other items for their location. We ended up donating a good portion of money and materials to make sure they had what they needed.

A few of us who have already hit the content ceiling also farm out previously missed mounts, minions, and even tradables when we can. There’s no officer hierarchy — everyone contributes at their own pace.

While not everyone is always online, we stay connected via Discord. Some are taking breaks or playing other games, and it’s actually kind of fun to see that when a new game drops — like Battlefield 6 — some of us will jump in together and try not to have buildings fall on our heads.

Spamming invites is viewed as harrassment. If you get multiple invites from the same person, just report them.

It is also a clear indication that the fc leader is not a good leader or just trying to pad their numbers. If an fc leader had any clear leadership skills they would send you a short /tell first to say they are recruiting and ask you if you are interested or have any questions.
