Banners and why they suck.

Postby Sarchi » Fri Jun 10, 2011 9:44 pm

As many of you may know, banners have a hitbox that is smaller than one tile, which can make them very annoying to build as the construction signs also have a ridiculously small hitbox, making it harder than it should be for a group to build them together.

Solution: Make the damned hitbox bigger. One square meter should be sufficient...

And to give you an idea how fucked up building banners as a small group is:

Oh wow... There's at least room for two more builders, am I right? Hell no. You can't even fit one more person in this space even though most of the sign is visible and you can click on it and move toward it, but the menu won't show up. And to explain the picture, our chieftain tried to place the final branch into the build menu, but he couldn't access it due to the issues with the hitbox.

Please fix this.

The banners have really small box true but they are also indestructable - and that is another big problem. Some villages just block acces to all other villages by building banners along entire rivers and lakes. These banners can't be indestructable as they are at the moment.

Nigga you silly. You can fit 4, but I swear to shit if you are off by a fucking pixel a third person can't fit.

this maybe a dumb question, but why do u need more than one person building a banner?

They're rather slow to build, but still the fact that you can't put 3 people on them to build is horribly minor.

here's an idea: just make the damn government things not take so long to build that you need extra people to make it take a reasonable amount of time.

When you consider how long they take with 2, you'll see that it is in fact quite fucking major if you ever get to the point of actually rapidly expanding your territory, you'll understand that.

Why do you think they take so long to build in the first place?

No damn good reason.
They take too long.

Said this several times since W3. If they're not willing to change the building time, at least let 4 people fit on without going fucking insane.
