Game Development: This Little Light O' Mine

[Onep]

It's so annoying seeing "THINK OF THE NAAABS" arguments. No one is going to siege some stupid sprucecap's palisade for 14 hours. And if they do, they deserve a gold star for their effort.

I'm starting to beleave jorbs is just trying to drive players away and make end of world come sooner.

Why do you think that?

[Scruffy]

why do you people act as if hermits should have some special way to defend themselves its the most unrealistic bullshit ever

so the only important people in this game are the large factions, there should be no consideration to new groups of people tryin out the game for the first time, no point playing when a group of 3 has no chance of survival

Unless you plow their sister, larger villages won't waste the materials required to raid hermitting nabs. Nobody likes wasting brimstone on shitters

[Granger]

Please stop the conspiracy theories and stay on topic.

if you wanna remove alt vaulting better give hermits/small groups some way to protect their land, as it is they already have no line of defense from a siege

At present I am, again, not even sure that removing alt-vaulting accomplishes much.

It's true that there are plenty of other ways that players can keep their items away from enemies. The most annoying of which as you said earlier is by simply destroying their own stuff. In my opinion though, I don't believe everyone will resort to that, and without the option of alt-vaulting, they might end up trying different strategies like running away on horses with loot, etc (which was actually done by a village not too long ago, and was fun to hear about).

In history, there were actually times when people burned down their own livelihoods out of spite against enemies, so I guess it is a realistic option (a lot more realistic than magically disappearing with loot at least). I'd really like to see how it would work out, and what new things can sprout from this implementation. You never know until you try it.

pft w/e you say, factions totally dont raid small village no never

lol with how hard sieiging is now i would really love to see some completely random nabs getting sieged for no reason. it wont fukn happen ok theres no point in someone sieging complete noobs for no reason it takes like 16 hours of camping shit
you noobs should be happy that palibashing isnt a thing anymore that is all you noobs really deserve tbh

[loftar]

i think a nice solution to these problems is while village is being sieged logged in chars can not log out

Then every village would simply have an unclaimed hole in it where vault alts can log out, though.

you noobs, love how personal you take everything, im just pointing out if you want any sort of player base your thought process is flawed

[Duane]

I can certainly agree that alt-vaulting should probably be made less of a thing, but how?

I mean, we can easy-peasy make hearthfires lootable, fine, but then what?

You can still destroy shit. Dump to ground. Have it decay. Ride away with it. Throw in the water, &c&c.

Just kind of seems as if the changes would have to be fairly draconian to accomplish much.

My system covers this. Yell at it if it doesn't.
