quan256 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It may seems pointless to some of you guys but it would be so great for players like me who works for 4 factions (Steel, Arbiter, Cephalon, and Red Veil.) I gain rep for Red Veil by leveling Steel. But I also work for Cephalon so it would lower my Red Veil but at half rate. Sometimes my Rep for Steel Meridians hit the 132k cap and I won't be able to gain anymore but I still need to work for Steel to increase Red Veil Rep. So my proposal is to allow players to convert their unused Rep to Medallions. The convert rate could cost like 20% extra rep for example: a 5k medallion would cost 6k rep. Also maybe make the medallions tradable would be great too. Please post your thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestFarmerNA Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 a 5k medallion would cost 6k rep. Please post your thought. Why? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quan256 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Why? No. Did you even read? When you hit 132k cap you won't be able to gain more rep anymore. But I still want to gain rep for Steel Meridian to increase my Red Veil, but I don't want those Steel Meridian rep goes to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicTroublermaker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 you do know that the medallions work EXCATLY like any rep right. Youd gain RV standing and lose Arbiter/Suda standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcusVeles Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It would either be exploitable or end up hurting you in the long run depending on your other faction relations, with how the medallions work now. They don't just give rep in the one faction, but act as if you'd gained rep normally and futz with all the other related factions too. It would have to be an entirely new item, which I don't think they'd do. You could always just spend the rep on something you can sell? I don't know why you would want to hoard too much more rep than we already can as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sry no, if you max out use the rep, buy key or mods and trade them. Trading no too, would make no sence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it again and now I get it (couldve been worded better since i didnt get that you meant changing specifically meridian extra rep to medallions). Wouldnt that actually be less rep in medallions than farmed rep since its 5k medallion giving meridian 5k and therefore 2.5k to RV for 6k unused rep opposed to farming 6k and getting 3k rep. Or did you mean have both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rep cashed into Medallions should be at a ratio of 1:1 and NOT decrease your standing with an opposing syndicate when cashed in. Medallions should not be tradable as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satwo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 For example: my standing with Steel is capped out at 132k and there is nothing I wanted to buy. then why bother farming? its like having play money then, no one else is going to take that money, and theres no reason to whine over something youre not gonna use ultimately. its like nano spores. no one complained until they had nothing to spend it on.

Sixty5 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Iirc you still get rep for allied factions even if you hit tge cap for your main faction. The times I have come out of a mission with 2K arbiters and 8k Suda attest to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still need to gain Steel Rep for Red Veil, problem is I won't get any Steel Rep anymore. So by converting Steel Rep to Medallion, I can save them for later while still be able to gain more rep for Steel. So basically you want to double dip. You earned Steel Meridian standing, which also give you Red Veil standing. Then you'd convert the Steel Meridian Standing to Medallions. Then later, you would turn in your Medallions and gain standing for Meridian and Veil. Technically you'd only gain Meridian once since you have to use the Standing to convert, but you'd gain standing with Veil twice. That makes it a no for me. Also, if you were maxed out, what is to stop you from converting back and forth, only loosing 1000 standing for every 5000 standing Medallion? That makes it no divided by zero. See how reality is unraveling in the corner over there? That's all you, man. All you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For really active players who have max ranked out 3 or 4 syndicates, this feature is extremely useful. Once everything from the syndicates are obtained all rep gained from your playtime from there on will be saved for future use. As a hardcore player, I would like that very much.

OHyeahWF Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was about doing the same thing. Raising red veil for Steel meridian. The best without reduce NewLoka standings. It would be nice for trading other currency. If no, maybe i will have 100 or 200 of keys from red veil already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the medallion system should just incincrease your rep with the faction on a 1:1 basis and not touch the standing gains or losses of other syndicates.

That I could see being a useful feature. If you could just use it to bank your standing for future use with that faction alone, that would be something I could get behind as it doesn't threaten the space/time continuum. The double dip on the allied faction is really my only point of contention with the OP's original idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
