Pretty sure it is currently ONLY a thing while landscaping, and it has been (despite dev claim to the contrary at the end of their livestream) in some way stopped, blocked, suspended or inadvertently lost down the back of the sofa in fishing. (And, I think, beach trash has also disappeared?)


I haven't seen any beach flotsam this world, wondering the same thing.

It's really at least mildly infuriating you banned SnuggleSnail for a bug abuse that caused a loss of a painting however you take no actions against a bug abuse that was used on purpose just to grief others.

Do you mind explaining your line of thought?

That is great news but how about at least punishing the perpetrators? Felix group literally admitted to doing it in this thread and now they have top 1 industry on W16.1 lol. It is baffling they seemed to have fun while using the bug to destroy and steal the industry, they even sent a video of doing it and they are still not punished.

Just a note, snail was banned for raiding a market, taking some random stuff and the coinpress. So he affected not just the market owner, but all the hermits that collected the coins which suddenly became just the pieces of metal. It takes plenty of time to revert that kind of a damage, but of course Snail will pretend that he only took paintings and it was harmless.

But I agree, the fact that people who were abusing this bug for multiple words weren't punished at all is kind of disappointing. It's not an obscure game mechanic after all, but a bug, used to destroy villages (and then cry on the forums that the game is dead or there's no PVP, that's the funniest part).

Correct me if I am wrong

- Bug abusing party did omit all siege mechanics introduced in the game (thing peace, siege engines, siege itself) to raid claimed fully soak palisade protected L1
- The only intention was to grief opposite faction
- Bug abusing party was fully aware of the exploit

In 2 days we get a patch which fix the bug

There are no consequences at all?

Jorb we know you read forum. Can you please give your insight. It's tough to understand your point of view.

You do not need to be part of the raided group to see that bug raiding in a permadeath base building MMO is peak cringe behavior. Bragging about it is worse IMO.
You say that they used the same exploit last world, can you give more details?

I am not related with any of sides.

We should ban accounts of all people who used it now as we did with Snail. We did it to Snail, we do to others. Be consistent otherwise there will always be someone who want to ruin the game. It's way more healthy for the game when you punish abuse behavior rather than let it slip over.

They apparently used it to bash into felix L1 last world but there was no loot there. It is an "exploit" but when it gets left in the game so long at some point its just a feature that everybody know about. If they banned for this suddenly youd have 100s of receipts going back years of all the people who should have been banned lol. Dont ask me how you can be a victim to a mechanic you already know about I guess they dont expect ppl to be checking if their walls are dry 2 month into wipe
