Redhanded Debuff for Local Resources

Post by Shadow7168 »

It'd encourage people to actually fight over the resources as opposed to who gets their naked alt there first.

It'd encourage people to collect Local Resources with crime alts, yes.

I don't think it should require a skill or leave a scent, just require criminal acts enabled and prevent alts from being able to log in and immediately log out due to red handed.

A shorter duration of red hand could actually be nice for local resources.
Could make it take awhile to harvest local resources as well. Like up to a minute, and if cancelled you don't actually harvest it. That would ensure that if theres a fight going on you couldn't just nab it real quick and run. Either run right away or fight for it.
So +1 to finding ways to encourage some conflict at local resources.

I would propose to make a collected localized resource behave kinda like a cart does. Meaning it stays on the ground if you go offline or teleport. It doesnt reduce movement speed. And yes, it requires a raft to cross water.

After let's say 1 ingame day collected resource can be broken down to actual usable items.

As a result people would have to carry these thingies home manually, involving some nice competition as a result.

Lore-wise for rock crystal/salt/brimstone/glacier it can be rc/salt/brimstone/ice boulder that is too sturdy/hot/cold to be broken before cooldown passes.
Guano can be picke in mound and is too stinky to approach
Heartwood is taken as big branch and still contains protective spirits for 1 ingame day disallowing to collect leaves

Nice idea there ekzarh. I like it, but I'm not sure the present wonders carry significant enough value to be worth it. I'd like it if we could do something with the idea at some point, though.
