Change Crossroad sprite
Can we please change the crossroad to something transparent so you spawn on top of it, like a hearth fire, thanks.

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
Been suggested, there were many reasons, counterreasons, all of that...

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
I want to hear a reason other than it can be easily vandalized why it shouldn't function similar to a hearthfire.

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
The counter to it being vandalized is have it act as authority, the counter to that is that it's too safe.
As for reasons other than it being too easily vandalized, I'm sure there were a few, just don't remember them...

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
Obvious question: how it should work for others if somebody else stays on entrance point already? And this case can't happen for hearthfires.

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
Something I was wondering about walljumping.
Why not have a predetermined range, not allow it to go past that range, and if something is there (i.e. a wall) instead of pushing past that wall simply send back a message saying "You cannog go there" similar to how the game checks when you login, it should do the same, it also should always 100% of the time exclude jumping to personal/village claims that you have no priveledge under.
HOWEVER, this goes without saying the above paragraph absolutely REQUIRES a way to make someone a 'friend' of a village, or an ally, thus alllowing them access to warps on your property.
If you don't want them to need said priviledge you may take the village claim (banner, statue, etc) off the area, and leave only the CR...
The possiblity of allying other villages should also be an option, keeping up to date with said villages also being important (they getting raided, someone killed everyone and took LS? Puts you at risk, you need to keep intouch).
I know that teleporting isn't wanted in the long run, but it seems there's no suitable replacement and won't be for some time, so with that said, why not fix some of it's problems while it is here? (Unless it's replacement is already thought up and coming)

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
Hearth-like crossroads are simpler and full-proof. As for people porting in at the same time, it can work just like cabin doors.

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
I'd like to fix idols, but that way of fixing them would make it impossible to log in at a blocked idol, which is a problem for characters with whose hearth fire has been destroyed and whose last logged-off position is blocked. I just don't quite know what would fix that problem.Potjeh wrote:Make idols the same, and we'll be rid of wall jumping.

Re: Change Crossroad sprite
could you make it collide with objects but not people, and for people, make it like when two people enter a door and they're on the same tile, but they can sprint out? (although they should be able to move out at any speed in both cases).
