Place cooldown for hearthfire moving

Post by ewlol »

HFs are broken in that they can be moved so easily and securely.

To make hearthvaults less effective, there should be a 12 24 26 or 48 hour cooldown between the movement of your hearth. (this includes direct new building of the hearth and also smashing then building your hearth)

Alternatively, moving hearth could increase duration of all your active scents.

Because changing a couple of vaults while your scents expire for complete invulnerability is good gameplay, right?

That sounds better, still not super convincing, but better.

It'll just reinforce the idea that alts are the way to go, especially for combat. I use one of my characters that I use to courier items from raids (leaving scents) also for day to day courier-ing. I'd just have to make another, not a big deal to me, but annoying. Then leave that guy's HF alway sin HV and only use after cooldown.

The implications of this change would be far worse than some dead griefers inside their vaults.

Tell me how often you move your hearth, really. More than twice a day?

Ya'll sayin "NO WAY" but haven't given a legitimate reason as to why.

Elaborate?

I move it like 10+ times a day whenever I go traveling, cave exploring, hunting, or even wood hauling.

I move my HF sometimes every 2-3 hours, sometimes several times within an hour, yes.

In response to what alpha was saying: It would inhibit gameplay on a day-to-day basis just to let people get at some griefers? Who cares about them, they'll grief either way.
