I'm just reminding them of the harsh reality that they have next to no chance to escape in most situations. Even in optimal situation they must have multiple conditions which are filled, such as:
Enough water and food/energy to run anywhere from 2 minutes to few hours based on how far away they are from their base.
Base built in a way that even allows them escaping into it (right keys in inventory, right way of building gates etc.).
Hope enemies don't have horses, interception knarrs etc.
Even things like having the route mapped from your location to your base may be a challenge. Theres stuff like whirlpools, thingwalls, boating long distances via river. Which complicate the return to home quite a bit.
. It takes like 5-10 minutes to run away if you know what you're doing which this thread encourages you to do so
Assuming your base is 5-10minutes away? Most people go on far longer trips than that. Which are also the most dangerous ones because of the long distance traveled.
the person who made this post publicly bragged about creating a script that was used to pilot a knarr filled with bots that would kill every single person on a river that it encountered
In order to protect noobs by giving awareness to the long standing issue and forcing devs to do something about it. Yes. If you're trying to convince anyone, leave low effort troll arguments like this away.
Nightdawgs vids show how straightforward it is to run away from even sweaty coordinated zergs
In a sped up video where he has some advanced combat moves unlocked and some combat stats gained also, with some his ally coming to rescue him in a well coordinated effort?
Stuff like this is out of the reach from most sprucecaps, even if they read something about it.
Most sprucecaps don't even end up in reading this thread.
My claim in earlier post still holds about sprucecaps(or anyone really) successfully running away being a very dumb thing.
Most players aren't capable of doing such things anyway. They're casual people who just want to have fun, they have to walk their dogs etc. and not do some 100% focus running.
If it was so easy then why wouldn't all sprucecaps do it.
Hope this thread doesn't give jorb any false impressions. Jorb himself would be uncapable of escaping from anyone even remotely competent and pvp only leads to loss of players and worsening of community.
