Game Development: Whirling Radii

[SnuggleSnail]

Dont be dishonest. You have no idea what our makeup was at the time. I was the only player with any combat stats left playing. Most of us were farmers/crafters. I will admit that I had a bad understanding of archery towers. We could not place archery towers, as you know, after they were destroyed to counter your siege engines. We did not have a stockpiles of brimstone, nor were we at liberty to sail the world and gather them as you were. We had no players with 6k stats to counter yours(yea I know stats dont matter right, you just get those stats because it is fun). We had players log in sure. People would log in their normal 2 to 3 hours a day to check out your 24 hour camp. I have not made any posts about this, only you have. I even have asked you questions, taking your posts about wanting others to learn at face value. But this is a post to derail, to extinguish any discussion that does not agree with your playstyle. It is just a part of your very transparent playbook where your toadies hurl insults with no substance.

time spent practicing siege: 0
time spent practicing fighting: 0, probably
time spent actually fighting: 0

If you want to have a discussion about siege appropriate for your level of understanding post here: viewforum.php?f=42

There's a lot of improvements that could be made to siege, IMO, but retards who've never even tried it acting like authorities is not productive. It's just some annoying shit somebody will siege you over

We got sieged for a hat we did not have by someone I have never met or wronged or had spoken to before that. Not bitter, but this is just false.

I sieged you solely because I don't like you. BTW, your friend gave me hats to bury his corpse. Enough that had you offered them during the siege I would've taken them and left.

and I personally spent probably half a day wiping all of your stuff after my village sieged you because I also find your posts annoying

If you manage to anger people so much that they go through the effort to siege you, you shouldn't be surprised to get wrecked.

see, what VDZ said infact has a lot of merit

If someone has an actual, concrete idea about how the siege system could be replaced

Devs could stop sucking cock and remove battering rams etc. for fast fix.

God, I wish I was immune to having my troll posts hel'd.

What are you talking about? You post on the forums. People are spiteful and will attack you even over things that happen outside of the game proper. I think it's dumb too, but you can mostly opt-out of this by using a different in-game name and not linking your in-game identity to your forum/Discord/whatever identity.

incredible

But its true.
Siege should not work like it currently does, that is, if you spend X amount of effort you are guaranteed victory. This means that few individuals with both flexible schedule and lack of empathy will be dominating.
"b-but siege take lot of effort" no hell it doesnt. You know what takes a lot of effort? A village, to build village you may play with 4 guys for 3 months 4-8 hours every day on average, and all it takes to ruin it is one miserable loser in his parents cellar to waste 3 days of his very precious time? Its bullshit.
I cannot understand why devs don't do anything, do they really believe what some people say or maybe some of my earlier claims really are true.

It's probably because the current system is largely fine, the system favors defenders (which has been explained numerous times and people just want to use their feelings vs facts), and the only people screaming for massive overhauls are trolls or retards.

[jordancoles]

The defenders can pick and choose when to defend.

Attackers get a lot of choice as well. The start time of a siege is set by the attackers, who can begin at a time that works best for them and their group. Attackers can also let rams sit for additional hours, leaving the defendings standing around waiting to see what happens next (since the decay time on siege equipment is hardly noticeable). Delaying siege advances until the defenders have to go to work/sleep is a pretty common tactic.

Attackers have the element of surprise most of the time, specially this late into a world. They can place a ram and multiple catapults down right up against a person's wall whenever they feel like it and then the defender has less than 2 hours to respond before the catas harden, making counter siege a lot harder to set up.

Also as towers go down they leave rubble which removes the ability to build a new tower nearby for 24h. Siege equipment like catapults can be freely built and spammed for eternity, and if they are destroyed, they can be rebuilt immediately. META is still to just place a ram, hope the defenders spam towers early on, wait for them to decay, and then build a new ram to begin the real siege attempt.

Siege is just fucked, lol. It is a massive time sink for both sides and none of it is overly enjoyable. There are long periods of time between things actually happening but you can't really sit back and chill during that time either.
