Do 'factions' really need all these crazy bonuses?

[VDZ]

Also this thread, i do not understand. Literally every single person in that factions borders gets those bonuses so just settle on Faction land if you want, or wait for factions to catch up to you.

Yeah, just settle right next to the people that will punch you in the face and loot you dry the moment you set foot outside of your palisade.

everyone gets the bonus and the realm owners has to pay all the cost to make them, not sure how thats somehow unfair

Realms shouldn't be forced to share the buffs they alone worked for.

But also, win more mechanics are pretty bad game design.

I think the idea was that the buffs would attract people to your realm which would in turn provide you with more experience to get more buffs and thus also give you an incentive to defend the villages within your borders. In practice, people get bored of prosperity and go on murder sprees.

It's a fine idea, but implementing it in a non-exploitable way is difficult. Consider a faction realm likely has 30+ members generating XP. That's a lot of XP alone. So, the amount of XP generated by a hermit in the realm is relatively low and there's no real point in keeping them around. It's better to instead murder said hermit so either a) they leave and don't get in the way of faction plans or b) give you a fancy merchant robe as loot.

You may suggest that the main faction village not count towards realm XP, but then the realm would just be created under a zombie village and the main faction village would be a separate entity.

This is all assuming XP generated via realms is a significant reward, which it is not at the moment AFAIK.

Yup. Neat concept, admirable intentions, didn't work. I don't think it really ruined the game or anything. It definitely organized faction pvp a bit. But it didn't change how factions interact with normal players more or less at all.

Shame, I had an idea more or less like this and clearly didn't see the impending "competitive haven players manage to ruin everything for themselves" effect of it.

The only problem I have is with the injuries you get from players, annoying blade kiss and having to use stitch patch and wait months for a full healed character. Ugh

I quit after the first death each world too but not salty. I just realize every world I’m playing for a good time not a long time. If the long time happens then that’s great!

I’ve never even had a developed hearthling murdered by another player. I always end up dying to tougher animals... W12 death was wolves in the woods when I let my attention drift for a little too long while foraging. Lol. You should’ve seen my face.

I think the realm bonuses are fair. This game requires an immense amount of time effort and teamwork to make it happen. It should be rewarded appropriately.
