AMAZING EXPLOIT: How to be unraidable on day 1

[overtyped]

Hi all, Bob Dole saw that Jorb was once again fooled into putting a certain exploit back into the game, and it will be present on launch day. This gives a massive advantage to people who make use of it, even Bob Dole will be abusing it.

Bob Dole doesn't like these clowns who take advantage of the elderly devs, so Bob Dole would like this exploit to spread far and wide to noobs and steam users everywhere.

With that said, first take a look at this screenshot.

This is a claim in front of a cave. It takes 4 bones a dream, some stone and a few blocks of wood to build.

After 8 hours, this claim becomes active and can no longer be destroyed without a siege ram, making it effectively an invincible wall, keeping everyone out.

If you position the claim as shown in the screenshot(hold shift when placing), no one will be able to enter the cave, though it will still be possible to leave the cave.

All you have to do is put your hearth fires inside the cave before making the claim, and Voilà. Now, even if someone has rage or theft on day 1, they are no longer able to mess with you.

______________
Next step. Spawn in a new alt, and get 4k lp for a claim by getting lots of discoverys.(This should only take 5 minutes)
Then, get yeomanry, and use that alt to lay a claim, which blocks the entrance of another cave near your cave.

Do this until every cave near your cave is blocked off. This will prevent anyone from even thinking about trying to mine into your cave, (if they are even able to.) Mining in haven is not a easy task, and it takes a lot of strength and effort to do so. Nobody will have the stats to easily mine into your cave for the first few days, and even if they are able to, there are plenty of easier targets. Using this method is tried and tested, and is a staple of all major factions. It will keep you safe.

You will effectively never be touched for the first 3 days, which is more than enough time to get yourself a palisade up for more permanent protection.

Now, please spread the word. Bob Dole would be very happy if every single new user knows about this. ; )

J&L HAD to have fixed this before they removed the build preventing obstacle from around the cave entrances for W16

right?


Right?

Good guy Bob Dole.
J&L caving in to pressure and bringing this back was a mistake, but now that it is back it's good that you took the time to give this information to everyone.
If it's gonna be abused, it may as well be abused by all.

I'd have rather they didn't revert the change, but what can you do? Snuggle got killed this world because this wasn't possible so jorb had no choice but to make it possible again...

Simply limit the number of characters each player can have, then we wont run out of cave entrances. No problemo

Not practical, people can just make more accounts, or use vpns/use any number of ways.

if everybody spawns in a central location all the caves will be gone probably within the first 8 hours in that area

good luck with assault and battery by bats

That's the plan.

Worst part is that he's terrible for the game, reimplementing exploits and just ruining the general vibe like camping the ring of brodgar to kill people willing to discuss on the last world right now...
That dude must be swallowing 5 gallons of sperm a week to still get everything he wants from devs like that.

Guys I think the problem is way deeper than this "exploit". People like this because days into the world people start sabotaging one another and their leather. I think it wouldn't be a thing if you could get a palisade before someone rushes vandal, but that's a huge can of worms.

Maybe just let the band aid exist and do what you're doing now of informing people how to protect themselves? Not everything has to be "faction pushed this" or "faction pushed that". People CAN have good intent

lets allow people to gank and deliver great damage without retribution ^, i agree!!
