Smacks of an exploit to me

Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
-Ralph Stanley, O Death!

Re: Smacks of an exploit to me
I've okayed that. It could be argued that it shouldn't be possible, but that should in that case be solved via some sort of fix to walls, rather than via dev intervention.

Re: Smacks of an exploit to me
I agree devs shouldn't hand fix shit like this. It's right up there with double piling cabins. Some things should have a forced building barrier so that cabins can't be exploited like this.

Re: Smacks of an exploit to me
what does the cabin have to do with this 
The world I love The tears I drop To be part of The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love The trains I hop To be part of The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to

Re: Smacks of an exploit to me
You don't need a mountain to do this. You can do it in a far larger capacity by stacking cabins. I shoudl have also said that this should apply to brick walls. I'm an advocate of buffing brick walls but not as long as this exploit is viable.warrri wrote:what does the cabin have to do with this

Re: Smacks of an exploit to me
Thats what i would consider an exploit, while this here is clever use of game mechanics(in other words abuse). Why do you think castles were built on mountains, because its easier tzo defend them.Chakravanti wrote:You don't need a mountain to do this. You can do it in a far larger capacity by stacking cabins.

Re: Smacks of an exploit to me
No I agree that the game should provide defensive advantage to players and that mountains should somehow supplement that. I think a lot of things should be different than they are currently and only that when things are finally balanced this should not be possible.
