Wildstar PvP Faction Locks Removed

[Zakis]

Carbine has removed faction locks with the most recent hot fix patch. This is to facilitate transfers and alleviate some queues. I hope this is temporary because no restrictions creates a whole mess of issues with PvP.

Spying, Kill trading, lack of faction/community pride and permanence etc to name a few. I'll be seriously disappointed if this is permanent. Thoughts?

Is this something that happens often? You can have the same kind of communication/coordination without having a character of the opposing faction.

On PvP servers it does. The other systems require more sneakily ways to do it though, but if someone is spamming in zone for 2-3 hours trying to get a world pvp smash going, they can be met with a wall of the other side over prepared.

I do NOT like the idea it kills pride and creates SERIOUS imbalances.

This is how it was on SWTOR. Not anything I'm not used to.

I hope its only so they can get the server transfers done then change it back.

Yeah, I remember being upset about it in SWTOR too though. I think it hurts faction pride. Plus I get annoyed when people log into the winning side so they can feel better.

I can totally get that. I never really thought it was all too great of an idea but i did want the story of the other faction. So i had a good time doing that and having some playful fun with guildie alts who were on tattooine or wherever at the t o me as well.
