Prelude: Happy New World!

Just going to say.... I beat botters pretty hard in stats, it's just casuals who lose hard.

That kind of pisses me off though because I'm not a casual. Even having 500+ stats is better than most players but that isn't my point the game isn't all about stats for some people and I put just as many hours in to this game if not more and yet somehow I'm considered a casual because I didn't get 1500 stats? Really? What the fuck is the point in putting ANY effort in to this game when you have people that can put in no effort because of the clients they use for example and do twice as good as you in half the time.

Disallow building village claims with holes in them, disallow destruction of banners if that would create holes...

great point, but the system can still be abused, here's a rough sketch where Orange is personal claim and Red is a village claim. Just imagine if you build personal claims first and then build village idols later.



first case is if the distance between villages will not be changed. second case is if minimal distance between 2 village idols will drastically change. you can still build personal claims first and then make it so that there are no gaps between pclaim and vclaims, and still abuse the system, not as much as villages within villages, but still it would be pretty lame.


edit: unless you cant build/extend villages this close to another established claims to leave no gap in between, if so disregard what i just said...

With overlap I also ment touching. Sorry, should have put that also in the text.

I was talking casual, as in the stat grind part, not a player in general man, relax. I know I went hardcore into production and just massing up my stats for like a month and purely only doing that, mixed with good table and salt made the stats increase superfast.

Add desert biome please.
Also make it so everyone spawns into the world in the same location. Kinda like Salem. And they have to branch out from there. That way people have a chance to make friends or seee noobs get slaughtered.

That's not what I mean I'm still talking about botting/scripts and custom clients playing a huge role in that but they go beyond the botting aspect too because you can look at a video like in this thread and see that clearly there's no annoying UI in the middle of their screen like there is for almost every other player that doesn't have access to these types of things. Devs never implement stuff like that in to default or they take ages doing so.

To address the problem with bored endgame players slaughtering newbies: scents from combat could scale with the Delta, with further penalties for the one initiating combat and being more lenient toward the attacked.

Fight a player of your level and it'll be as-is, attack someone weak and it'll haunt you badly, being attacked by someone with you lethally ending the fight leaves a cleaner consciousness than being the one who started it. 'Pickup the gun'

Stupid idea. Dress up an alt and send them at the top fighters to get the scents.

You seem to have missed the part of it being applied to the one initiating combat. So yes, if the 'top fighters' can't control their auto-aggro macros... Also it could be applied to murder, which is the actual problem as it's currently basically the same cost as knocking someone out.

Throwing ideas here, but I get it: Everything that hinders slaughtering of newbies is bad...

How you gonna deal with naked alts blocking your gates?
Nah, your ideas are often separated from the reality. You do not really think about how it can be abused, before suggesting.

[Paradoxs]

Ok there's no "supposedly" about it, they are impossible to compete with whether you're referring to stat gain or any other aspect of this game. Second it would not be that big of a deal but like any botter you are worried about them ruining the seemingly perfect game to test your shitty little scripts in but in the same way you'd stop playing a game because you have to pay for more than one character, I'd sooner stop playing any game that becomes a haven for douchebag programmers to run automated tasks with their bot armies all fucking day.

I don't bot though. (I even state that more than once in the thread that gave you such ideas) I mess with the code base when I'm bored and waiting for something to finish, or for my hunger to go down.

You make people pay for alts.

And by letting us 'Shoo' players.
