Free Company Credits

[dcdistro]

we have over 11 million fc points now and still can;t spend them all being a large fc with a large house should hold more benefits for its members for all the hard work the members in the FC put into it to make it what it is! I am not bragging.. I am not the one who earned all the points or bought the house etc by myself thats a group effort not solo. It is really easy to earn points, but active and hard working groups should also benefit for the work they do together.

Oh yes you are bragging.

Things like "just get more members" "it is easy because all our members do it" "we have 11 million."

Know what kick all but 8 members out of the fc, and than look if the fc points still go up as fast as now. even if you form a full party and do everything together in fates, gathering, HQ crafting. It still will be VERY slower than with a FC with as many members as yours

the fc cap was set high so you could build a large community together with people always online and helping each other out. more people in fc = more people able to help people out when they are online simple as that.

I wonder if there's a way to know how many fc credit we got from each action we did based on quoted list, in conjunction with level and some other factors... :?

The best list I have found so far on FC credit breakdown -

tbh, I'd rather see all costs reduced. I am happy at least that they will add instances to point earners. As others have suggested, showing how many FC points are earned when something is done would be a good thing. It would show our members that what they do (even solo) contributes directly to their FC.

Have they slowed down FC credit accumulation after the patch? We use to have no problem keeping up every week, but since the patch I notice we're burning through credits way faster than we're earning them now. Maybe my mind's playing tricks on me.

Sigh...in every game the solution to every issue since the invention of guild leveling has been to join a new bigger guild, merge guilds, or wallow in the pit of mediocrity as eventually even your core members abandon you to join a larger guild for the perks.

And if you join one it's almost as if you play alone because you are merely one of hundreds. And the chat either flies at the speed of light because either there's a dozen different conversations or because a couple of people decided to turn guild chat into barrens chat 2.0.

How are you even expected to form any kind of bond with fellow guild mates in this kind of situation?

If the people you're in guilds with leave for bigger guilds because of perks, they weren't the sort of people you would want to "bond" with anyway.

A system message like "Your Free Company earned XXX credits." when you do actions that makes FC earn them, does not hurts anyway.

A daily tally on command would probably be useful as well.

Also: why can we not earn points from killing monsters? One or two points per kill would be on par with gathering activities for those that don't craft or gather (or have all your gather classes at 50).

They have said that they will start giving points for doing duty finder stuff in the future, no telling when though. I would like to have a log of who earns how many FC credits each week, that way my FC could make a little contest out of it, reward the highest couple folks or something.
