That sucks, because using alts is an important strategy. Even without the need for forager alts people still make alts for stuff like harvesting honey, learning rage or getting credos. You can't escape alts.

The only reason you don't need forager alts, by the way, is because nobody cares about fights anymore. Otherwise people would KO you to steal your stuff and see if you're carrying keys they could use to raid you.

The second server would be almost empty, you'd literally be playing alone. Terrible idea.

So you reevaluated and your argument against (reeeeee, population will be split, not enough targets on our server) from back then is no more?

the thing is it wont split the population since nobody wants to play on a literal PAY TO WIN server.

You creating a "game breaking" topic is really funny. You are THE game breaker.
Sending criminals to ruin a village, and then "bounty hunters" for "protection".
New players either get raided consistently by you (or your toons), or have to pay hats to play "under your protection".

That's why everyone want resets. When you start 6 months after a new world you are just as good as a rabbit to a fox, and you'll get farmed as such by the established factions.
Isn't that game breaking.

Then seeing you so proud that people suck your dick hoping that you'll leave them play in peace... Dude you are sick, please seek mental help.

How can people get farmed when one hit kills are impossible and properly built villages are nearly unraidable...? I'm honestly not sure what you're talking about. If you've gotten raid threats they were probably just hot air. Right now raids are technically possible but so boring that nobody bothers with them. If you're actually getting bothered by fighters, you could ask for help on discord. I'm sure some people thirsty for action would be willing to help for free.

If titans killing noobs was a legitimate issue, something like this should probably be enough to solve it:

With a PVP stat cap or stat rescale, it would be harder for anyone to really dominate over others and you could probably find plenty of bounty hunters willing to avenge you.

It's pretty cringe seeing people from 50 map tile big faction villages that don't participate in siege telling hermits they're unradiable. Raiding villages that don't have infinite resources/that aren't super compartmentalized takes very little effort.

ofc I don't know who the fellow above is, though :oops:

lol no it won't. 95% of the playerbase will run away from somebody with 1/3rd their stats without defending and clipping on everything in sight

Hermits aren't unraidable if they build poorly. If they build enough palisades, however, only the most autistic raiders will be willing to spend hours trying to break through their walls for their q10 carrots. Spending that long (5+ hours?) attacking some nooblet in a dead game makes your peepee look smaller than a baby carrot, there's no point. Compartmentalization seems to be the key to making most big bois give up before even trying. You yourself have said that proper construction is a good raider deterrent.

Anyways I'm no expert on siege, so I'll just drop this topic before I put my foot in my mouth. You know more about the system than I do.

Why are first day killer alts a big deal? Early world is probably the best time to die since you can get back everything you lost relatively fast. Just get someone to build you a beacon and respawn.

Here's how you protect yourself:
1. Learn yeomanry as fast as you can. build a claim and some palisades.
There you go, now no bandit can get to your crafters.


what kind of bullshitery is that ants? they are big deal because they first will secure area by getting rid of any competition regardless if those players would help them or be their pain in the ass. secondly those people will target anyone outside of their secured area for fun because if you have no idea claims take time to dry and its enough for a random killer in multiple numbers scattered all around the world to bash your claim and kill you. experienced it 3 times in a row until one time i just hid in a cave somebody already check for ore and probably never bothered again and i was finally secured. how many people could share such fate if they didnt got the white flag yet? true you dont lose much but if you cant get much in the first place.

going further people who think any raiders - me included - spend time on raiding noobs with siege weapons are really naive or dumb. make vandal alt easly then put wb then wait for the victim to investigate scents and kill or ko and grab stuff. if you dont hit a metagamer then more than half time you get the keys and can almost effortlessly inflict even more suffering and pain to poor people that you stumbled upon assuming they didnt quit after the first kill or ko. settuping something like this doesnt take a lot of time. not to say some stupid random ass did try to pull that tactic twice on me during last world and lost few vandals alts since its hard to fool somebody using same tactic.

just because hermit base is almost the same as faction base in terms of raiding time it doesnt matter people wont find a way to do pain in other way that either doesnt involve siege or involves it in a way where a hermit is already in position of having time to escape or not
