Personally i dont think the problem atm is the current permadeath system, i think its in a good place right now. The problem is bases being fortresses atm, alot of the factions in this game still have their original bases because the sieging in this game sucks. right now if a titan gets ko they have a base to run to and hide in and they are pretty much immune unless you plan on sieging them and then the next base they run to etc. Making bases easier to fall increases the difficulty of having titans in the first place if you can interrupt faction industries and bases then they have no where to hide and you can kill them.
i had an issue a while back with some scrub thief i could easily kill him but my problem was he was hiding in a 5 level abandoned base and a little outpost next to it. I couldnt kill with nidbanes since nidbanes are a fucking joke atm for everyone. i tried to siege him but after destroying one level to get in he retreated to another claim so i had just spent a day of attacking 1 fucking level to get rid of some shitty thief and still he managed to outlast it by quickly jumping to a new base. The current system atm dictates if you want to really kill someone your going to need to invest weeks or enlist dozens to help track down every hole they hide in. We need a better siege system to break up the monotony of this world where everyone establishes a base then farms infinite until their bored and quit which is happening. By making sieging better we can create a more dynamic and lively world where people actually fight to hold their bases.
Case in point look at the fall of aurora, the fighters there sucked and would've ko/died in a fight but in order for the other side to kill them using this system they needed to destroy their base too and so had to put in stupid amounts of resources and time to push them out and they each looked at each other afterwards and said i cant do that for each base if i want to kill someone.
TLDR; sieging needs to be changed not permadeath
Also im not going to suggest any ideas to fix this to jorb anymore because he has a habit of ignoring everyone and then listening to retards like shubla, we are at the stage of this game we had said please add this and itll make game fun and he goes and gives us the opposite and then wonders why we dont like it. For evidence look at all the combat suggestions so far, each time hes ignored everyone and implemented some strange system and from the vets ive talked to none mentioned being asked to test the changes before they went live or get feedback FROM THE PEOPLE WHO FIGHT ON THIS GAME.
