1) depending on what survive means, you might need your entire squad on call for an entire 4 hours to defend against a last minute zerg of the entire enemy kingdom which is unrealistic
2) thingwall placements are close enough that having all of your bois cutting off people you're chasing from every direction with horses, especially after they reach 40 stamina is going to be cancer
3) by the time all of the PVPers quit there is still going to be a fuckload of unclaimed land, especially if they B-line to each other to make PVP
4) late world a single autist (hi) could absolutely claim the entire world with probably less effort than previous worlds
5) you didn't remove the ability to turn off buffs?
6) if all challenge points are next to water, it's going to devolve into a lot of snekkja fights, which are cancer
7) you can absolutely make water walls, but it's kinda expensive and annoying so mightn't be an issue since people can just port from 2 thingwalls over
the only ones I actually care about
8) if buffs work the same way they used to, there will absolutely be shitter realms everywhere that entirely prevent the people living in them from having good buffs - and unlike before, spending 2 weeks challenging for a good realm to your base then putting it in your base doesn't permanently prevent this
9) wtf jorb let me port when redhanded
haha I would just like to point out I was right on every single account with these predictions I made with < 5 minutes of thinking about it. It's just lucky there have only been 1-3 thingwall fights, depending on how you count it, because fighting always next to water with bows and 100 snekkjas is unfun cancer garbage
P.S: my character is heavily scented all of the time, and I know all(literally all) of the people who complained about being able to port with red hands on thingwalls could easily get them if they wanted. I still haven't been tracked a single time while red handed all world, nor have I tracked a single person that was red handed all world AFAIK. I HAVE occasionally not gone to fights & raids because I didn't want to thingwall there, and then wait while red handed for an hour, though.
