Palisades and vandalism immunity

[Darkren]

Claimed palisades need to be immune to vandalism. Spending 100k LP on Trespassing+Theft+Vandalism shouldn't give you the game-breaking power of being able to wall somebody in.

IMHO the only thing you should be allowed to build on hostile claims are rams and any other siege engines we may get.

A topic similar to this was made not too long ago: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5630&sid=2c50661fd7a6d3d123014b971668e8c1&start=10

My suggestion, keep everything the same but add 3 new rules:

1. The game will not allow you to close off a wall segment unless there is a gate on it
2. You don't need a key to leave an enclosed area.
3. Allow for players to delete wall segments if the gate is on their claim. This way you can just extend your claim to remove the walls.

Or you could allow players to pass through any gate that is on their claim without a key and make it so that only other players need a key to by-pass gates. You could also abstract keys altogether, suggested by Jackard.

Your first and second rule don't really make any sense and feel like very artificial band-aids, also computing when an area is enclosed is CPU intensive and probably a non-starter. The third rule has potential but might run into issues of people using claims to offensively 'bust' through walls, though perhaps this is desired to prevent walls from being used to effectively control more then you actually claim.

As I've said before, the solution is simply this: No matter what skills you have, you can't build walls outside of your own claim / your town's area of effect. The only potential loss from this, aside from controlling areas you don't actually own, is that small communities can't wall themselves in with out town claims. I believe that we will adjust to having small towns start out as collections of little walled homesteads before becoming completely walled cities later on.

i'd think it would be preferable to have it so that you can't build walls on a non-allied claim, rather than you can only build walls on your own claim. i'm not sure even that is the solution.

and this should be the last thread about this I think...

The more something gets posted, the more people obviously want it. Issues as major as this probably need constant reposting to push the point of urgency across.

But, yes:

Wall cornerposts can now be sealed, preventing any further expansion from them (To prevent them being used for griefs once built)

[Granger]

The idea that cornerposts can be sealed is nice.

But dosn't help against someone who is willing to spend 106 blocks infront of a gate while having vandalism on.

Evil will always find a way

The trick is to hide your hearthfire in a desolate place, and dont have a noticeable claim.
