You haven't seen the forager gank squad in action then.

Well the issue Snail is presenting forth involves people dropping combat mid battle and then grabbing a horse (maybe) and porting to a thingwall that ends up trying to cut someone off. Just gives an opposing side immense mobility during combat. The normal grab and smash cases generally aren't too bad as you will typically just wander around for an hour being on the move anyways with usually a snekja or knarr nearby for their adventures anyways.jorb wrote:I don't think anyone who is red-handed will ever be chased over brook and field.

The Red-Handed debuff places a cost on opportunistic raiding of bashable walls, and I like it for that, but I am not convinced it accomplishes much more. That cost is not an order of magnitude different from the cost of having to walk to the nearest TW to get home.
I can agree with that for crimes that are committed locally, but that isn't really usually the case. You have situations where people are travelling across continents entirely to kill new players/harrass others, often committing hours on a journey; this is why they tend to bring alts with them to teleport snekkjas back home as well (on top of just, well, bypassing the entire dock TW cost by having a dedicated alt to it). When you're so far out from home that travelling back will take longer than just waiting out the time (not to mention less effort), lots of people just sit by until the timer runs out; providing ample room for someone to track them down. Sure, these people might just make more and more vaults around the map- but at least thats more effort they need to make to secure their crimes. This also just makes it more appealing to make vaults near thingwalls so you can teleport to them and find a safe haven relatively quickly.jorb wrote:I don't think anyone who is red-handed will ever be chased over brook and field.

You're not freely teleporting across the map, it costs travel weariness, what do you mean?Kirche wrote:Tracking is too strong with the ability to freely teleport across the map, revert the revert, and add a cooldown to teleporting to thingwalls.
