Claim is useless now???

[Neryph]

So I stayed up ridiculously late getting a claim and stuff for protecting my stuff and I wake up to find someone has knicked all my shit anyway? What the fuck? Apparently anyone can just open the gates and walk in your territory now I am guessing? EVERYTHING was stolen.

claims take 8 hours to become active, mouse over the auth bar in the claim interface and you can see how long is left

Well thats stupid. What a waste of time.

I'd agree with you if it weren't for the fact that yeomanry is so easy to get now, you can rush it so fast and then stick up a claim in no time at all so the 8 hours barely matters (assuming you're playing like a savage, like most of us)

Its better than having claims that become active instantly.

The downside to this is getting your claim nuked.... twice now.

The point of this rule is to prevent players from using claims offensively without a defender having a chance to remove them. Of course, the same people pull all kinds of other crap to prevent theirs being attacked.

I think the timer should be reduced to four hours if it's not near any other claims

I remember thinking when I placed my pclaim how its funny that there is no indication at all that its not active, its so unintuitive. You basically have to read the wiki for everything in this game.

I'm surprised my claim lasted 8 hours. I've had stuff stolen from me and even caught somebody in the act once, but those 8 hours had 0 interference to my drying racks or my claim.
By the way, the wiki says the claim doesn't become active until you click on it after the 8 hours are done. I don't know if that means it's still destructible if you don't finish the process, but it's better safe than sorry, so make sure you build your claim at a time when you know you can finish the process 8 hours later.

IIRC there's a tooltip with exact timer if you open claim interface and hover over Presence bar. I admit that nowhere in-game are you told to do so. Worst part is that people may expand their claim, thinking it's already active and waste their LP if/when the claim gets bashed.
