Keep your autohearth on! (An Complaint About PvP)

[MagicManICT]

a few hundred more players

You missed a few zeros... try million. At least, at Farmville's height of popularity, it had, if I remember the reports correctly, something like 60 million daily players (if you can call that "playing" a game).

I really want to make a long reply explaining why Farmville became so popular, but there's a ton of articles on that subject on sites like Gamasutra, Ars Technica, and such. Social dynamics and lack of competition are the two big ones if i recall correctly. Since then, other companies have been able to reproduce the same success reliably with other game styles.

Title and Op are wrong/..>
Title suggests that pvp is somehow having a problem.
ther is no problem with pvp once started
op suggests that he would like the ability to pown noobs at will and randomly wander the wilderness killing everything that moves.
there is no problem with this if the op would use mechanics already in place ot do such things
however he wants an easy ride and there is no point in making a paid game too easy to die in
example.
i am a noob killer so to do this ill just scoot around spawn area killing everyone who joins the game for a few weeks deterring anyone further adding to the playerbase.

this would be fine if the op made the game but he did not
auto aggro and auto heARTH are both devils in disguise but while there is no way of devs stopping this there should be no reason for complaint

they are used like this mate and grow up and listen ok

auto run / hearth is for people who DONT WANT TO BE GANKED
auto aggro is for people who WANT TO GANK

both remove the ability for people to blame lag or some other such instance of computer failure
and both can be worked around by using horses
or simply going into someones base who is a criminal

if your not going after criminals and your crying over not getting to be one then i suggest you take some time to play the game a little more
increase your stats
do some real work
and stop bitching about things that are not part of the entire games interests.

"PvP is only all about noob killing in this game"
I haven't killed a single noob since w5 and what makes you think I'm killing noobs?

[ChildhoodObesity]

hello its me adele

the current combat is shit its so stupid and boring, suggesting that auto hearth and auto aggro are balanced because of horses is the dumbest thing ever,,,,, its hard for a guy like davis to find a criminal when majority of the people who played for pvp all quit. also a good chunk of this games population are people who are heavily invested in pvp m8, i would say most pvp players are putting down more money in subscriptions than the average pcefool farming hermit. u CLEArly dont kno shit xDDDDD

you are to shit to fight

to too two

HnH has always been about raiding and killing.

No, not really. Haven really is just Farmville with permadeath and open PvP. Some people seem to think it's about raiding and killing, but that is just a decision a player can make, not the focus of the game. The mechanics exist so that players can (more or less) get rid of griefers. But we all know that griefers just use whatever tools they're given to cause problems for anyone else in the game.

the only fun thing is raiding and killing other stuff are repetitive and boring that is why people only want to raid or kill but what can you do in a game of 20-30 real people and remaining are bots and alts for this reason you shouldn't really compare it with farmville or mention farmville because im sure it has a few hundred more players than haven despite farmville's ugly graphics.

Farmville confirmed to be more fun.

fix aggro range the issue solved ))))

[jordancoles]

15-20 second hearth timer.
Only way.

Anyone who thinks that autohearth and auto agro are balanced, or that horses fix the issue is a confirmed retard and I seriously hope that Jorb pays no attention to you

[jordancoles]

Last world we had autoagro and autohearth
Agro could be done anywhere on screen with no line of sight and autohearth had no timer
Autohearth was given a 5 second timer, but autoagro still had no line of sight or agro distance
This was in favor of the raiders, and yes it did turn into a run fest and came down to who had the most food/water

This world however we have an agro distance of like 15 tiles, and line of sight. You could be standing 2 tiles from a person but if a tree or LITERALLY ANYTHING blocks the direct agro line it will not work.
Autohearth is 5 seconds and it begins the second someone enters the screen

A raider can reach a person if they enter render on sprint speed, have nothing in their way, and know that the person is standing there.
This is IMPOSSIBLE in any real situation.

5 seconds is not enough time to hear the borka, check your map, head in their direction and get line of sight.
It's just not possible.

If you think that autohearth in Hafen is balanced and a good mechanic then you are actually full-on retarded and I feel sorry for you and the people in your life who have to deal with your ass-backwards logic on a daily basis
