Footfall question

[the-moebius]

hey so this beacon i talk about is private do guildmembers dont make coin on it cuase i own the aqua guild
so putting it on a alt should solve it wright?
beacon is not guild linked

@AeneaGames

I also would like to see a confirmation by someone else that it is indeed true that guild members do not generate footfall and if it’s only for the primary guild or for all the guilds you are a member of…

You don’t generate footfall if you and the beacon owner share a guild, regardless of primary or not and regardless of if the beacon is not aligned, aligned or assigned. Guilds are useless.

[Unciviled]

Yes if you put that beacon on an alt that has 0 guilds, you’ll recieve footfall from it like you did before.

You dont recieve ff from any guildmate of any guild youre part of.

[DKPuncherello]

It’s a stupid system. Friends and guildies should generate FF.

And you know this, how exactly?

got feeling to make footfall we need to mess with the system doesnt seem the right way though
in beta i did all the same work got payed
well that paycheck has been gone for longtime now i can still do all usually do
but dont think lot others can be compared to me and struggle
bring back the beta good live
i dont have time to invent all these crazy footfall system sceme’s just wonna play game like ive always done

[MrSgtPeppers]

Doesnt matter if its aligned or not it has to do with the characters alignment to the guild not the beacon… which sucks even more, I wish the quick fix was unnaligning but nope… gotta use a character NOT in the guilds…

Explaining Footfall post Release 211

I tried to test something similar. Char A has two beacons in a settlement, Test A1 and Test A2. Both above 10k prestige. Beacon Test A1 is aligned with a guild, Test A2 is not. I made a new character and joined the guild without touching either A1 or A2 (book is in the same settlement on a different chars beacon). The new character didn’t get any permissions in the guild. If the new character enters A1 (aligned with guild) no coins are generated. If the char then enters A2 (not aligned with gui…

I’ve repeated my test. Created a new guild with char A Set guild to auto join Joined guild with char B (no permissions in guild) Char B aligned his beacon with new guild (guild does not own beacon) Created a new char C Char C joined new guild (no permissions in guild) Char C walks on the plot with the aligned beacon Char C can interact with the beacon and no coins were created. @vdragon I think that’s a bug. Beacon, as seen from char C

Tested again with the “Poles, Beams and Letter boxes!” update. Guild member walks onto guild aligned beacon (no permissions at all) -> no footfall. Non-guild member walks onto guild aligned beacon -> footfall.

Explaining Footfall post Release 211

Today my test char has primary guild G1, no permissions. And is a member of G2, no permissions. The test char walks onto a beacon aligned to G2. Again, no footfall is generated. Guilds are completely useless because they prevent footfall. Lets assume you run a mall and assign the main beacon to a guild. Now, many people who have a shop in that mall are a member of that guild. You most like will get puny footfall. @majorvex, did you try to not align the streets in the gyosha mall to a guild?

Explaining Footfall post Release 211

Created new character X X Joined guild Test, no permissions X walks onto beacon BY1 of char Y, beacon is not aligned with any guild. X has no permission on BY1. X walks onto beacon BY2 of char Y, beacon is aligned with guild Test. BY1 and BY2 both had 0 footfall.

hey reply on my first question you seem to know ya stuff tell me how can i get max footfall out off this beacon

[Unciviled]

I did reply.

Put that beacon on an alt w/ no guild.

[the-moebius]

thx skipped it i guess lol

[AeneaGames]

Awesome, thanks…

@james is this behaviour intentional or is it a bug?

Either way it seems pretty clear to me this has to be changed asap!

[scrufola]

I thought, but haven’t tested that yet, that you can’t get footfall from chars that have a beacon in the same settlement.

[jobraw]

if this is true I’m going to throw up.

it’s bad enough that a person who touches any of your beacons can’t generate footfall in other of your beacons in same settlement (what is difference of 1 beacon with 100,000 prestige or 2 with 50,000 prestige… discourages different beacons to name stuff differently), and that guild members can’t even generate footfall, why join a guild at all, for faster running, but it becomes harder for that guild to gen coin to keep faster running because of all the people in it… what. Takes away any reason to join a guild, at least one that is anywhere near any of your builds. must be horrible for mall guilds.

@jobraw

what is difference of 1 beacon with 100,000 prestige or 2 with 50,000 prestige… discourages different beacons to name stuff differently

Footfall no longer depends on your beacons prestige, only on the prestige of the whole settlement. if that’s what you mean? (You need at least 10000 prestige to be eligible for footfall)

[the-moebius]

just transfered plots to my friends caracter that one touched no guilds no nothing no friends etc and our huntcrew just passing by i keep updated lol

[jobraw]

oh, lol :

[Kirinvar]

@the-moebius

my question is if i remove players from my friend list will there footfall come back to the beacon?

If it ever asks again if friends generate footfall, it gets the hose again!!!

[Unciviled]

“But,…”

You only get FF from that person once per settlement, per alt.
So if you have that 100k & a 50k. Youll only get FF once if a person runs on both. But yes its tied to settlement prestige over your prestige, as long as you have 10k+ per beacon.

[scrufola]

@the-moebius

tell me how can i get max footfall out off this beacon

Best would be to split the space up into as many beacons as you have alts without a guild. That way you can get up to 10 times the footfall. (every beacon must have 10000 prestige)
