Claiming with stuff instead of LP/Mobile claims

[Chakravanti]

I would like to see a system of claiming that involved using resources and items to expand one's claim rather than LP (which is going to be scrapped anyway).

I would keep the initial totem and give it a 15x15 or some such which should be plenty for a newbie to have a small farm, some racks, and a timber house on.

From therein one expands the claim by further building objects much like village authority is expanded. I would like to see a larger variety of available objects, resource costs and of course, area that such objects contribute to the claim size. A given object should only be able to be built a handful of times before one must use more expensive means of claim expansion. It's possible that there should be one, very expensive object that can be indefinitely built to expand one's claim. Like some 10 steel and a few gold/silver nuggets.

Declaiming would render every built claiming object destructible. it's also possible that the declaimed objects should not be available to be use in future claims on the area (This is debateable).

-------------------Mobile Claims:

I would also like to see the ability to have 'temporary claims' in addition to one's 'permanant claim'. These things being small, easy to build (A few blocks/boards, sticks, bones, dreams etc. cheap and readily available mats) and covering about a 6x6 area or so and cannot be expanded. The purpose here is to provide the ability to claim your boat while out hunting shit so some random fucktard can drive by, jump in your shit and make off with your grinder and chest. Yes, this happened to me a bit earlier today and I'm I know who it was. I'll be dealing with them in short order but that's not the point. What's mine is mine and claims are supposed to show that, why then are mobile property not claimable? i think Jackard may have been hinting at something similar in his cart request. Methinks I'm not the only one to suffer such ridiculous scenarios of injustice.

I agree with the mobile claim. It's kind of silly that your "real" house needs to be deeded by an alt so you can have a mobile camp site.

As for changing how claims work completely that's best left for the next map reset.

[Jackard]

maybe wooden stakes that you can use to pin things like boats and carts to the ground?

I don't see why? It doesn't have to apply retroactively. Current claims can be left but not expanded and new such claims could not be built. The new system would just apply to all future claims built.

I like.

1 stake per object, so you couldnt exactly go nuts

Potjeh has an old thread about mobile villages. I as well would like to see something like mobile primary claims, mobile village claims, and mobile 'houses' (covered wagons) and the like. As well as the ability to log out inside one and stay with the caravan as it progresses.

hmm, well wards could work similar to totems, and provide a boost to your claim. put a limit on how many you can place per claim. and the stakes seem like a good idea. i like.

new claim system is an epic no-care zone but the mobile claim stuff would be great, either with a wagon or tent that has a small radius (enough to park your boat/cart, and have chests and shit out), or some kind of staking mechanic although i kind of like that less.
