Ability to bash walls should also be given to claim owners

Post by Granger »

Title sums it up, claim owners (stake claim) and lawspeakers (villages) should be able to hand-bash walls on their respective claim as if they were unclaimed.

In case the wall being on both active personal and village claims the character would need to be personal owner and village lawspeaker, but that wouldn't require extra work as each claim would enforce the owner check on it's own already and both would need to succeed to continue.

Seeing people place wrecking ball on their own outer gates is a sign of their new wall not being dry the day after. With this suggestion this aspect of the game would be lost.

Only in case they build the new wall in-place of the old, which no sane claim owner will do.

"Sane" is quite the requirement. Also it could be a branch of wall on the inside that perhaps causes far enough cascade to reach other wall. Still worth to check.

Think it's fine to teach people to be careful with walls instead of creating shrug attitude with this because can always bash anyway.

Also breach on login details is significantly more damaging if this destroying of walls is instant, so rather not.

This is probably a bigger killer of the idea to me. Though walls getting bashed down are probably the least of worries in this case. Just unlock the gates and let the zerg in to bash everything else that is of any importance and dump everything on the floor that will despawn in 30 minutes.

I support this. Typically people will wrecking balls from the inside of a village on walls they seem unessesary or inconvenient.

It’d just be dope. But I doubt it will be considered.

In case the account of the claim owner or village lawspeaker is compromised you're usually done anyway, the ability to bash walls with it wouldn't make any difference at all as you could allow all permissions to anyone you want (and oath them into the village so visitor dosn't apply to them).

Not a valid argument against the suggestion, IMHO.

My only real question is: are they bashable "as is" or also including the thought of "remove soak" for houses and walls? (Still leaves brick walls, great halls, and towers with a ton of HP.)

Some 'remove soak' would be helpful for most players, I guess, unless they want to wait till 2020 to benefit from the proposed mechanic.

Rather than "bash" I would like to see a mechanic of "disassembling" walls and other objects as long as the object "belongs" to the disassembler. could get back a small percentage of the original construction material.
