A Test For Jorb

[colesie]

I'm writing this as a challenge to Jorb himself in order to test the game's current defense mechanic.

The way this will work is that Jorb will pick (or make) a location somewhere on each game map. He will then god-power together a claim + settlement that HE feels is safe. He can make as many walls/braziers/trees etc as he likes. After this is made, the location of the claim will be made public inside of this thread along with a picture (preferably) of the base. This will test the current game mechanics against the current playerbase. In a perfect world, this should be done whenever an update to defenses are made in order to actively test the mechanic.


To attackers:
If this were to actually happen, use any bugs that you can think of to get through the walls but you must post a picture of yourself inside of the walls at the end to prove that you'd succeeded.

I feel like this would be a decent way highlight how broken some things are, and how effective others may be.
Pls Jorb pls

its not like we are going to get any kind of real content

Everyone already knows how worthless & ****** the current defense mechanics are. This would just waste their time when they could be working on giving us something to actually help the situation.

WE know it's ******, but Jorbtar never really seem to get the message until they see things first-hand

They could do this.. But whats the point. They already know that the Tribal Lands are holding up just fine. And they know that ****** sub-par bases are falling with ease. Why conduct another experiment that mirrors the one we already currently witness on Plymouth. Its just a waiting game until another player/group decides to put in the same time and effort into building D that they would spend playing farmville.

My best guess is they don't want to release the next stage of base defences until they have in place siege mechanics to counter them.

I don't imagine stone hedge or plank walls were ever or will ever be intended for any use other than keeping riff-raff out.

We are just going to have to wait. Hopefully they make this element of gameplay a priority...

I like the idea of this test. I love love love content updates, buuuuut we really need this issue dealt with. I don't even bother wasting time or effort on huge defenses because there really is no point. Anyone can get into a heavily defended place almost as easily as a simply defended place. I'm all for it. Good idea Coles.

Tribal lands, heavily defended = 0 people have gotten into them.

Squatters Lands, loosely defended = Easily raided.

I'm not sure where this rumour started but it really does make me sad each time I read it. The entire server has an entire organization with an unlimited number of scents out to show them just how balanced the D mechanics are. Instead they like to pretend that D mechanics are somehow broken despite one organization proving them wrong day in and day out.

Continue to not build D if you choose but don't kid yourselves that D doesn't matter. If it truly didn't matter then the Tribe would not be leaving scents like we do. We leave scents based on a confidence in our D. You whine on the forums based on the realization that you have not spent enough time on your own D.

End of story.
