Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
I think that lowering the cooldown to like 8 real life hours would be reasonable.

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
But with correct rights You can still place it as a spy and bash it down. 24hour is perfect timing and if You want something from WB, it would be a lot better cascade damage instead of destroying 10x10 squares for 6 days.Buffalo_Bill wrote:You can't place the wballs on someone's claim I it won't let you assemble it

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
Cascade needs a way to be controlled. It should at least always stop at cornerposts (though damaging them, as currently is).
I would add two things to that: massively reducing drying time for the wrecking ball when assembled at a damaged wall and removing the repair time gate on walls for damage that was caused by cascade.

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
The problem with wrecking balls isn't the setup timer, it's the cascade. Nothing is more infuriating than waiting 24 hours to bash a wall only to have it destroy 3 tiles and stop.Aceb wrote:But with correct rights You can still place it as a spy and bash it down. 24hour is perfect timing and if You want something from WB, it would be a lot better cascade damage instead of destroying 10x10 squares for 6 days.Buffalo_Bill wrote:You can't place the wballs on someone's claim I it won't let you assemble it

Or wanting to only destroy three tiles and having it remove the full wall around the whole place.
Cascade sucks more often than not.

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
Once upon a time I proposed the ability to "reinforce" a section of wall such that cascade wouldn't extend past it, and obviously something that would prevent you from doing it to every single wall tile.Granger wrote:Or wanting to only destroy three tiles and having it remove the full wall around the whole place.

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
you are incorrect, having just tested it myself you are still perfectly able to do so, either you had visitor which was preventing you or you did not have vandalism, please don't spread misinformation like this.Buffalo_Bill wrote:You can't place the wballs on someone's claim I it won't let you assemble it

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
Well... actualy no timer on wball would be a solution to natural wonders locked with pali - if, and only if, wball wouldnt be possible to place on active claim that aint yours. This also would make upragding palisade to brick wall way easier.
And cascade dmg must remain in some way... think about upgrading walls and bashing every tile...

Re: Change wrecking ball cooldown
Thus giving ability for anyone You invited to your village/claim/project to immediatly bash it down, since I'm pretty sure giving someone vandal rights would let'em do it, killing "looking for group" initative as well as getting rid of benefit of doubt to any newcomer, since why would You let anybody inside with proper rights that would allow them to live with You?Uriel wrote:Well... actualy no timer on wball would be a solution to natural wonders locked with pali - if, and only if, wball wouldnt be possible to place on active claim that aint yours.

Don't look at WB and try to find some band-aid to your current and temporary needings. If You want to blame something, blame cascade damage being bad.
