Buying large claims and changing when claim interface closes

[SeventhSandwich]

I have a very small and pedantic suggestion for the way that the claiming interface works.

When you have already bought a claim, you can walk on that area without having the claim window close. However, if you want to claim a very large area all at once, and, say, you want to walk over to make sure you're claiming everything you want, the window closes as soon as you step off the blue area that's already been bought.

I suggest that prospective claims, like areas selected but not yet bought, also allow you to walk on them without the claim window automatically closing on you.

That would allow changing claim permissions without actually being anywhere near the claim stake. Exploitable, I think.

Maybe, but you'd have to make like an insanely large claim for that to be exploitable in any fashion, and as soon as you'd reduce it to a more reasonable size, you'd be out of the 'future' claimed area and it would close.

Come to think of it, you might want to have 'declaiming' require being on the actually-bought portion.

I've noticed the same thing. Will consider.

Decided against this. Complicated due to server/client interaction. There are no limits to what the client can indicate as prospective claimage, so effectively you could be able to interact with the claim from the entire map. Too small to be worth the headache.
