View Full Version : Veteran Forum Fighter - VFF - for MW3 Faction

Ok - so here we go - in preparation for the upcoming MW3 release with Factions within the game - lets get our Advance Forces together! So far we've been told we will be able to start off with 10 members in a faction and eventually grow it into 50. It will be extremely challenging to narrow the VFF team down to 10 people as there are SO many awesome Forum members - but we gotta start "somewhere" and go from there.


Ok - glad to see the interest. I will start a new thread on this.

We need to start "somewhere" & as far as what defines a Veteran - usually that's how long you've been on board. We already have a designation of "Senior" based on # of posts - so Veteran ought to be something different.

My gut feeling is that we should start the calendar at "Join Date" of May 2012 to be labeled as a Veteran - although there are many quality folks that joined after that - we just need a place to start.

Also, just the core members of the VFF to get started with the May definition as we have been told we can only start with 10 but can expand to 50 - so it will already be hard enough to filter the first 10 to begin with - but I look forward to eventually expanding to the full 50 and include as many as we can squeeze in once we figure out how this thing will work.

And on the LLP - I think that should be a separate team - kinda like "JV-FF" - Junior Varsity Forum Fighter - LoL. That can be a fun adventure on its own - especially since it has not even been made Clear about how these factions will be bracketed.

Either way - it will be fun to be part of a team with a "waiting" list of applicants to join our elite team :)

We've already had a lot of interest in the team - and we will need a variety of talents & resources - one of which has to be people who are "on" enough to contribute. I'm not totally sure if Time Zones will actually be a factor if the factions actions are collective vs if we get better results if we are all on at the same time doing simultaneous attacks - we can sort the Time Zone thing out later as we figure out how that comes into play.

So far, based on the interest, I'd like to form a team with the following people:


"Initial" list - subject to change once the MW3 is released
You have to consider massive leveling as part of this team
Also "time on" each day will be a factor
Lastly - adjustments may need to be made if "Time Zones" become a factor:

McDoc
MickyMacIrl
Gambit12
Vballmadam
Sugarymama
Manbeast
Poopenshrire
Dr. Dengus
HelloKitty
Thunderchild


Wow - that's 10 already and that just from quickly going through those that have recently verbalized a desire to participate from a previous thread. There are at least 10 others I'd love to have ready to join as soon as we can expand to more members.

Obviously there are more quality Vets we will want to recruit - and I will compile a Reserve list - especially if one of the 10 above cant participate.

Some names (so far that i can remember) for the recruit list BASED on WHO has expressed an interest in participating:

In No Particular Order

Agent Orange
Jhomel
Copenhagen
HBbomber

Already more than enough for a few more teams :/

I didn't list any of the elite Pirates as I suspect they will already honor their alliances. But of course we would love to have some of the highly respected Pirate forum contributors :)

There are so many great forum members! And so many different things to consider for the group. Thanks for putting me in the reserve list... Wonder how hard and how long it wi take to add members to the group.

I think one major consideration is if the person is camping or not. If they don't want to gain XP then they won't be attacking or doing missions or whatever you have to do to take over the world

There will be many things to consider i believe:

We know that IPH has been identified as an asset and of course a Strong Attack and Defense will be a must.
Knowing that we can only Start with 10 Players and hope to have 50 should we try to start with 2 or 3 Forum Groups with the hopes of uniting under one Faction?

I'm really curious to see how level is going to play a factor? I'm a lower level at 67 but this looks like the first things besides the boss and 10 Crate Event that will push me forward with camping! Obviously i could jump up to lvl 100 in a very short time if that would be necessary but it i for one am excited about the possible changes.

Also i know i'm by no means a top 10 Canidate but certainly would love to try and be one of the top 50.

Ahh Shoot you beat me to the punch. This is exactly what i was thinking. The odds of our 2 Factions going against each other would be very little with how many players there are so i think this is a must! As mentioned we might want to consider possibly 3 even.

Sorry that this process appears to be a tryout - but obviously if we could start with 50 - that would even be difficult when we suddenly found ourselves at #48 and 12 more quality people. Factions kinda do that - people get left out at first - I am just trying to pit some names together to get something started - but I strongly feel that maybe we can start several factions and merge as we progress :).

There are strengths that will make some players more desired on the team at first - but ultimately - the forum family is already a nice bond between us!

Who knows - as this faction thing grows - maybe it will expand to 200 :)

11-15-2012, 10:49 AM
could prob make 5 teams of 10 from forum members and 2 teams could merge after the first event to make up a 20 and so on up to 50. active forum members would be game active too , or make USA and Europe time teams then we could have 2 teams of 50 depending on how it will work . I'm level 100 50k+ att 70k+ def 800k iph when upgrade finishes . You need 1 top player in a team as rival team has to take him out before they can attack rest of team.

manbeast
11-15-2012, 10:49 AM
I think I would be a good addition to anyone's team. I'm a team player and I've played every single event in this game. Won the pvp tourny. Won the IPH tourny. Won like 4 or 5 crate events. Got in the top 500 of a leaderboard. Beat 3 of the bosses ( soon to be more now that it's fixed). I'm a light gold spender so if pitching in gold is necessary I'm open to it

It would be cool if we could get several forum factions to work together not against each other. Not sure how the event will work but he said we will be taking over different countries. Obviously each group could target a different country if that is an option

Mcdoc
11-15-2012, 10:50 AM
Thanks for forgetting me Mc****! J/k :)You have NO idea how hard it is to quickly put a list together from SO many quality names :/. Also, this is just based on initial interest posted in the past 24 hours - this doesn't even take into account how people actually "play" the game. I can totally respect the process that the Pirates went through to compile such elite players.

Big John
11-15-2012, 10:52 AM
A back up team would be handy when players could step in if someone couldn't take part.

I am up for any team offers. I am far more active in game than on the forum lately, but any of my allies are welcome to pop in for a visit to my base to see how "qualified" I am to join up. I will not post my boosted stats or skill points here, though. That is guarded intel, lol.

Poopenshire
11-15-2012, 11:06 AM
I would gladly work with what ever team needs income and defense. I don't have an ego and would gladly put my skills towards a forum team that would unite at a later date. If the boosts start working my attack and defense would be 103k each. Not huge but good for support.

MadManDK
11-15-2012, 11:08 AM
I'm up for an European team, time zones and all.

Close to 400 IPH and almost 100k stats level 97.

Mcdoc
11-15-2012, 11:09 AM
How about Zoltarov & Thunder child..? I think they deserve the list...Yeah man - lots of people deserve to be on "the list" over 600 people participated in the last forum event :). This whole process of picking 10 team mates is really really tough.

Besides - TC is up there :)

Poopenshire
11-15-2012, 11:13 AM
We need to spread our members amongst the teams based in skills. Those of use with 900k IPH should be split between teams. If we put all on one team others would lose. We need to be strategic. A team that has no IPH will suffer too.

Poopenshire
11-15-2012, 11:13 AM
We should have our gold players split as well. We need balanced teams until we join up again.

Mcdoc
11-15-2012, 11:14 AM
Again guys - this is just an initial thought to pull some names together & see what we come up with. The release hasn't even come out yet - but at least we know who is interested & motivated to participate.

Some things we will need to consider to help build up the team quickly ( to add more members ) are:

attack / defense stats
iPH
light gold player
Time on daily
Willingness to level up
Time Zone (if relevant)

Other things we aren't even aware of that will help the "team"

Jhenry02
11-15-2012, 11:14 AM

I would work with a second or third team. We could be concentrated on support and preparations for merger. Obviously we would need to pull our own weight but after the merger we could fill the gaps of the first team.

Corsair
11-15-2012, 11:28 AM
How about the allies count Mcdoc..?I see that as more of a meta-value, it drives att/def scores more than anything else.

One thing to note, the Groups function of the board now allows private membership, so that can be leveraged as a communication method for team members to communicate and post stats so they are not out in the open.

Mcdoc
11-15-2012, 11:56 AM
How about it Micky - you want lead a team?

We could have the main team (where all teams will eventually merge) called VFF Alpha - and then other teams follow suit with VFF Bravo, VFF Charlie, VFF Delta - knowing that the VFF factions work together - in tandem - and at the same time promoting the Forums, camaraderie, and hopefully it will still make sense to merge all the teams into the big 50 :)

Mcdoc
11-15-2012, 11:58 AM

I'm sure the XP will be through the roof. Which doesn't really matter to those of us already in the shark tank, but should be an important deciding factor for those of you hiding just below the threshhold. Because believe me, there are some scary players out there who will be out for blood. People who can pull off 5k+ attacks in a weekend. And hardcore campers will have to abandon their entire game-strategy. Just a thought or two, not trying to scare anyone out of participating.

Wow....I see my idea really caught on...lol. Lovely. To be honest, I wasn't thinking strategy (except that veteran players have more experience and insight), but I thought it would be great to be partnered with players I trust and have grown to like over the year of playing MW. This was strictly emotion-driven for me...lol.

Nice to see you here on the forums Desas. I can vouch for him, he'd be any asset to any faction.


A/D : Good enough to ward off most attacks at my level (max allied)
IPH : 875k
light gold player : I'd consider myself a light gold player, but haven't made a purchase since last July.
Time on daily : A lot
Willingness to level up : Yes
Time Zone (if relevant) : PST of course


I'd welcome the opportunity to join any of the forum groups when they start up. The main thing I bring to the table is my IPH, and I'm more than willing to contribute that to whatever faction I join. I have been camping per say, but only to stay in the 81-100 level bracket for bosses. Now since that issue has been fixed I have no problem leveling up if need be. I know there is a lot of uncertainty concerning casualty rates at the moment, but I still do have a stockpile of valor missions to complete (only on force deg. 121 at the moment) which would boost my stats even more.

Cheiz brought up a good point though, whether or not we would actually be able to combine groups later on. Hopefully there will be either a "disband" or "combine" option once you join a faction. If not, and once you join a group you are there for good (blood in blood out lol) then we would have to do a little strategery forming the starting 10's.

@Dr D - I hope we are able to build up towards goals that will allow us to expand membership to 50. The question would then become if the "farm teams" had accomplished goals - would they be so willing to abandon those accomplishments to Join up with team Alpha. Otherwise - if we are all on one of the VFF teams - then we will know to work together & not attack each other :)

That's a good point too. Some members might have to sit on the outskirts for a while until a faction has increased their limit. I'm hoping in-game cash is required to expand a faction's roster size, that way we would be able to expand almost instantaneously (depending on the cost of course).

Another option for forum monsters - to find decent player(s) not from forum - I been building my ally list very carefully (so far it has been useless except for army count), but now going through my list I can see players of 300k stats.

Worth to consider for ... Defense leader ... whatever this means :)

Just been reading through this and other VFF threads. IPH, att/def stats, level of gold etc seem to be well represented in the discussions so far, but little has been said about time zones. At first I thought this might work against me, being one of just a few this side of the (big) pond. However, since WD has been described as a three-day event, doesn't it actually make sense to have a spread of people across different time zones to keep the battle going while others sleep? Obviously have to wait for the particulars of MW3, but the rush to get a 'Europe' or 'America' group might be premature.... having strong members across different time zones might turn out to be advantageous for protracted campaigns........

..... And another number that might be considered are the distribution of skill points held by faction members, especially if, as it seems, the faction leader has to be defeated first. I for one am quite happy to reveal mine, which clearly identify my strength as being defensive rather than offensive - currently have 241 skill points in defense.

Final thought, once this thing is up and running, communication in-Faction and possibly inter-Faction (if, as I hope, we end up with a number of Forum based teams who would rather not pummel each other) might be better done via some means outside the Forum i.e. email rather than PMs?

manbeast
11-15-2012, 10:30 PM
thunderchild- i agree with you on all accounts. i think it would be very beneficial to have members within my faction inside different time zones. you could start a battle and pummel the other team by yourself in the middle of the night. the battle is won on a point system. they wouldn't be fighting back or getting any points, so it would be the easiest time to battle.

and wow 241 skill points in defense! i believe that is the most i've ever even heard of

and the whole "defense leader" thing is kind of crazy. basically if ferr is the defensive leader of a group they are undefeatable. even if everyone else on the team is a bunch of newbs. the pirates would be smart to split up

Yes, the whole Pirate (and Ferr) issue is most lily going to move right across to this new part of the game. Would be a great opportunity for them to open the game up again by agreeing to somehow spread themselves out across different factions. Surely it would be more 'fun' for them to do battle again with new blood and have a real chance of losing once or twice.....

The world domination events are 3 days, but the battles which could be event or non event related are one hour battles. That will make the time zone relevant if you want to assist your team when war is declared. There are of course people that sleep not that much. Those people could Probably be in any faction.

If the latter, then there's a definite advantage having someone like me active when Europe and the Americas are snoozing!They have made it sound like there is strength in numbers. I am sure there is some sort of health involved. I doubt you would be able to pick off an entire team by yourself in an hour. Hard to say for sure though. One other thing about being worried about massive defense leaders, they have made it sound like they will try to balance factions against each other. My guess is there will be some sort of list like the rivals list so you only see factions similar to your strength. Of course this gets harder to do at the top end, but it leaves some hope for fighting against massive gold spenders. Besides, Ferr et al are on strike, so we shouldn't have to worry about them anyway... :rolleyes:

Details of how that will work is few at this time. I'm not a beta tester at this time even though I have been asking for weeks.

Personally I would make it a group majority decission of who comes in, but I don't know the game mechanics yet how one joins, how the choice is made and how one can be removed. Many questions. I wouldn't want to add someone to the faction that nobody likes, people should be equals if possible and people be allowed to come and go as they please to others factions without fear of revenge or ill will. I would want to stress things like that personally, but you can never speak for everyone in your group in the end. But if you select people with good morals and ethics that should make things more enjoyable to all in the end. It is not whether you win or lose, as long as you have fun and challenge along the way. It is only a game, which by my definition should be fun and challenging.

FYI, I respect you and hope we end up on the same team at some point. I'm sure Factions will merge and develop over time. Good luck to wherever you may end up my friend.

Hey guys - sorry I've been AFK today.

Anyway - like Poop said - it looks like we've got 4 strong candidates for Factions right now and a 5th one in Dreno if he will lead the Camper / LLP team.

The truth is - there are fuzzy reasons to join / pick factions. One is the fuzzy feeling of bringing together some of the forumites that have "bonded" over the past year without weighing in stats - the other is to seek out the highest A/D & IPH players for an elite hit squad. I honestly believe with all the talents / relationships we have here in the forum - we can find a healthy balance that will make our teams fun and strong at the same time.

As with ANY endeavor involving a team - picking the right leader has a huge impact. In this case, we are too early in the information scramble to even know how much of a factor the time zones will play. Yes they said the events would be over 3 days - but each individual battle would be confined to ONE hour. So we will need some other effective communication other than PM's (since the inbox fills SO fast) unless CCM can convince Gree that the new factions would be a good reason to bump the PM max to 200.

Anyway - I still think we would ultimately be an awesome Forum Team if we placed 4 or 5 strong leaders with diverse teams with the ultimate goal of combining into one huge collaboration. I can already predict that this new angle of competition will bring out sides of people that we have not seen in casual conversation on the Forums so people are seriously gonna have to check their ego's at the door. As fun and exciting as this seems - I have truly formed a whole new appreciation for what the Pirates were able to accomplish with a cohesive team that worked very well together.

I'll chat with Maverick, Poop, Hivesy and Dreno to see if we are all in agreement as to the next step if that Is the best way to start off. It's too easy to just pick teams based solely on stats - it seems more fun and challenging to include people who are good friends without using stats as a filter.

This may have been thought of or discussed but i havent seen it. I know time zones have been discussed but it seems to have gotten one singular common focus.... All faction members needing to be of same time zone for attacking. I think the reverse needs to be considered. If these are only 3 day events, and all members are in same time zone then you are limiting your number of wars to possibly declare.

Assuming you and your members sleep 6-8 hours, then there are 3 to 4 more wars per day that you cannot fight. If your faction was split with strong attackers in opposite time zones you increase your total number of possible wars by 9-12 wars per event.

Obviously, a lot of factors that we aren't of aware of yet would play into this like can 5 faction members actually win a war? or do all 10 need to be attacking to bring down the other faction?

I dont have the answer ...Just an observation.

From my understanding of the FAQ in the link Flan found, a single member can initiate a battle and attack even if there is no response from the targeted team, meaning that I can attack when I am active in Korea, hitting teams which are effectively sleeping. I see this as a massive advantage to a team, but as yet we don't KNOW that it will work quite like this. Discussion is much needed on this point, and each of the Forum teams, provisional as they are, would do well to a) start thinking about a provisional leader who can start communicating and coordinating things, b) start to think about who in each group is 'representing' IPH, gold, attack, defense, etc, and c) who is going to be active in each eight hour day part....

Imagine a team with time zones spread all over. It would non-stop action. If the playrra were all gold too that would dangerous.
I just wish we knew more details. I have a feeling cash and cement will be easy to get in small amounts but if you wamt more you will need gold. And we all know to a usable amount it will take gold. As well if you want to rush it spend gold.

I made exactly this point earlier in this thread, and to be honest it's going to affect who picks me or which team I become useful too. From my understanding of the FAQ in the link Flan found, a single member can initiate a battle and attack even if there is no response from the targeted team, meaning that I can attack when I am active in Korea, hitting teams which are effectively sleeping. I see this as a massive advantage to a team, but as yet we don't KNOW that it will work quite like this. Discussion is much needed on this point, and each of the Forum teams, provisional as they are, would do well to a) start thinking about a provisional leader who can start communicating and coordinating things, b) start to think about who in each group is 'representing' IPH, gold, attack, defense, etc, and c) who is going to be active in each eight hour day part....

I figured someone had already thought of it. I had not read the entire thread.

Seriously though I'm really interested to see how this is going to work out, it can only make the forumite's closer even if we're shooting each other initially. Let's hope this thing a) actually happens and b) is as good as we think it might be

Absolutely, but that's down the road. McDoc, what's your take on the timezone issue?I'm torn. I agree that it is nice to have General's on alert 24 hours - but I'm also curious if a massive manpower strike all at once will be a key strategy.

I'm Pacific Standard Time on the West Coast but I sleep between 4am & 10am - which makes me an not a normal PST asset anyway.

It's hard to know how big a factor Time Zones will play ahead of the release - but it's already fun thinking about it and creating strategies.

Re communication, I mentioned it before but I don't think anyone picked up on it. There is a Groups function...look in the menu at the top under the Community drop-down. These can now be made private/invite-only, thanks to a recent update. They are basically like private message boards. Perfect for group comms without having to use PMs.

We could use WP because of his gold army. We will nees each team to have atleast 1 gold army to anchor defense. If we coukd have 2 per team. We would need to ensure each team has atleast 2 high cash members. Four more for cement production and cash support. 2 for attacks and missions. We build or change things up bases on more details later. Starting with only 10 will mean we have to wise in how we spread our resources. It would be unwise to have entire team of all high cash guys with gold defense. They will just end up another teams ATM. An all defense team may not have the cash or resources to attack and win new ground.

I know everyone is posting about who they want and how they are not on lists but we need to be patient and wait for more details before we know who needs to be where.

Yes CCM contacted me about it personally due to past concerns you know about and we were the first ones to test. There could be more forum changes later, but I'm not a liberty to say until CCM says so. I see it as a BETA test thing that shouldn't be discussed openly in the forum per guidelines.

We nees a master spreadsheet with names, IPH, level, attack, and defense for all interested. From here we can figure out many teams we need total as well as have a master list of those who volunteer to lead. We can vote for leaders and then start working to allot members into teams as the demand becomes clearer for what we need. This way we can include everyone and know who might be needes incertain areas more others.

I think I would be a good addition to anyone's team. I'm a team player and I've played every single event in this game. Won the pvp tourny. Won the IPH tourny. Won like 4 or 5 crate events. Got in the top 500 of a leaderboard. Beat 3 of the bosses ( soon to be more now that it's fixed). I'm a light gold spender so if pitching in gold is necessary I'm open to it

It would be cool if we could get several forum factions to work together not against each other. Not sure how the event will work but he said we will be taking over different countries. Obviously each group could target a different country if that is an option okay with credentials like that I'll just volunteer for the soup line....lol. Any idea when this is all gonna kick off ? Most the names on McDocs list look like respectable fair playing people.. I'd be interested once y'all figure it out. CST and to much time played daily. game On

I've accepted the group invite, looks like I'll need to wait in reserve for now. I don't mind levelling up as I'm actively farming and attacking to get better units. I'm on hourly, even at work so ssshhh... No telling my boss!

Money:
My vault is always full recently had $95 million but updraded a Nano. So I'm willing to put as much of my IPH into the faction.

Fights:
I've won over 30,000 fights and lost only 179 and they were mostly early on in the game. So always up for a fisty cuff!

My advice... No need for you to camp. Boss event is easy all the way up through lvl 150. Each lvl you progress takes more and more xp to level up. So you are probably only like 10% of your way to lvl 150! I'd do strict pvp and gain Bp's and bank all your valor. Then once you get to lvl 105 stop pvp and do pve farming. That's what I would do in your shoes.

Faction recruitment

Hello I am looking for a new faction. The leader in my current one is not so active and not kicking inactive members. My girlfriend and I are looking for 2 spots. I am lvl 108 and she is lvl 112. I have 24 attack and 25 defense she has 20+ in attack and defense. We both donate at least 1 mill every time we donate and frequently. I make 380k avg. an hour and make 110k every hour. I was wondering what rank you placed during the last war. My old faction placed 487 last campaign. We could of placed higher and not be so stressed during the campaign if our leader kicked the inactives... Anyways please let me know if you have 2 spots.

Jhenry02
03-20-2013, 08:39 PM
VFF Alpha placed in the top 10 last event and VFF Charlie placed #32.

I'm fairly certain VFF alpha is full and has fairly high standards.
And I know VFF Charlie can't bring in 2 low players either.

I'd vouch for a few other faction leaders, if you need a recommendation just shoot me a message.

If there were an ulterior motive, wouldn't they have decent stats or a decent iph. Anyone with sinister plans to infiltrate one of our factions would know we have standards.
