Localized resources -remove?

[ydex]

From the thread about claimable localized resources:

I'm assuming they want them to be somewhat claimable and defensible, in order to give people something to fight over..

This was the idea, at least.

The point of introducing them was to create insentive for ppl to pvp, sort of a "king of the hill mechanic".
In older versions this was done by fighting over good water/clay/soil spots and that wasn't clear enough so localized resoures was introduced.

Is there any fighting done over these tho? Have it increased the pvp for resources?

To my experience all it does at the moment is limiting my own gameplay, as I don't have any, and boosting others gameplay alot (brimstone, crystals) and to my mind it's weird to have such an excluding mechanic in place. At least with old system I could enjoy every aspect of the game beeing it at lower q or slower rate.

These are my thoughts. What are yours?

Most fights I've been in were during salt hunts.

I like the resources as they are, except for the salt, but I think there should be another mechanic implemented for such a thing. If there would been alot fewer of these resources, it would been a bit different.

I was thinking earlier today that there should be a thing that would spawn, lets say, once in a month somewhere random in the world that would be trackable like the end thing at world 8 ending was, and you would have to fight over it, secure it, for some time to gain something from the "thing" that would be worth it. Maybe it could give a rare sword which would have higher base damage, or some other rare/special item(special clothing, crafter stuff(a special scythe, whatever else....) if you succeed to defend it. I consider this as a great endgame feature which would make me play for some time.

yea, that does sound good. sort of keeping hte mechanic but not making it a limitation to causal n hermits gameplay!
could be a salt spawn for all I care tho, and if we bring old teleport system back while implementing this thing as well I think thaat would be great for pvp.
Sort of a "port to this place within these times to be able to go get resource/stuff" and everyone would go and there would be a good pvp-insentive that is easily (sort of) accessable to ppl!

Weird how the point of these was to fight over them and now we're not even allowed to place claims on them?

This is a good idea my man.

there's too many nodes around the world for my taste, the density can be reduced like two times
would also be very reasonable, if the amount of resources spawned globally was tied to the player count
finally if there gonna be a new world, the nodes should be empty at the start not fully stocked with resources

Part of the issue is the visibility of the new nodes. In the past we had to search for them. Sure we knew if there was an acre node to test around on it but to see a big sparkling crystal is kind of blatant. Nodes need to be visible via perception and exploration like other things. Then what you find capped by survival.
