MyFaction Questions/Help

[OthersideofdaTrax]

I can't stand it! But I wanna try to unlock stuff. I've never played it but I bought the WrestleMania edition and I just bought the new Bray DLC.

My question is... What can I buy or unlock with The free Virtual Currency I was given from those 2 editions? Without having to play it.

Sorry if I sound like a noob but I have no interest in this mode other than unlocking stuff.

That VC is for buying cards in MyFaction, generally. Persona cards can be bought with the currency that unlock characters for use in other modes.

I just checked it out and Sheamus seems to be the only persona card available to purchase. It's way past the 15,000 free VC i was given. I'm not trying to grind anything on that mode so I guess no Persona cards for me. Thanks for the info.

When I first went into MyFaction (I pressed the wrong button at first launch), I (and everyone else) was given a Sheamus '09 card for free. From what I understand, the Sheamus '09 ruby card in the market is the exact same Sheamus '09, no additional unlock, except if you want to use him within MyFaction he's a bit stronger.

A couple of things about personas: they're basically just alt attires, with the same stats and movesets as the base model, except the game views them as their own separate wrestlers, which lets the devs stuff our rosters with question mark slots, and also allows you to put them into teams where the base model can't (such as Universe mode which doesn't allow multiple team memberships). They also sometimes come with create-a-wrestler parts like Tricky Willy's boxing gloves, though recent releases have put those unique pieces of clothing in your creation menu by default and for free, such as Juan Cena's and Masked Mayhem Dominik Mysterio's masks (I certainly don't have those cards anyway, so no idea otherwise).

Also on first login, or thereabouts, I got another 15,000 VC, though that may have been part of the deluxe edition I bought. It looks like a pretty big number, but it's really not. You can maybe buy one pack of the early, lowbie sets, and there isn't much to hope for in there as the only persona in those older sets is gold Sheamus '09 which, like I said earlier, was given away on first login. You could buy a good bunch of those bronze CAW jobbers, they'll boost your collector level I guess, but you have better wrestlers right at the get-go so it seems a little wasteful (and no personas among them obviously). In essence, you could say that starting money is a ploy to get some pocket money into your wallet so you're more inclined to invest. It's a real marketing trick, really. And us poor early-bird fools had no way of knowing how much buying power 15,000 VC actually had.

If you want to grind points to buy cards with (and I understand you don't, but Stone Cold said to never stop talking), it doesn't have to be hard, but it's sure to be LONG. There are a number of modes you can play and they more-or-less all award the same: 7 objectives ("match actions" that are completely static) that get you 15 points each, a small amount for finishing a match, another small amount on top for winning, and a couple others that you either have to be super good to get or just have a super rare card that can only be gotten by gambling (high-rank wrestlers exclusive to packs come with lots of power- and points-boosting passive abilities called "badges"; equivalent wrestler cards from other sources are comparatively very lacking in that department). Faction Wars mode has you do lots of team matches, and those let you collect match actions for each wrestler that you control, so they have more potential, but it's still slow (and you need limited-availability tickets to start a "run" of up to 5 dungeon-like maps or much shorter if you ever lose a match, as that ends your run instantly)

If someone had money-making tips, they would be appreciated obviously ;).

I'm going to stop here as today is party day, and when I started typing it wasn't party day.
