Damn. I can't run my farm of alt accounts on my $50 10 year old PCs anymore. /sadface

Still not sure I like the +/- 50% on the stands. I think you should be able to go as low as you want, but I can see the reason for a cap of how high.

1.Fields built in strange places and ways have been destroyed and can no longer be built that way. Tears pl0x.
2.Claim Stones can be destroyed during a five minute window after each homestead secret spawn by it.
3.There is now a one minute cooldown on claim stones after each homestead secret spawn by it before the stone can again be used to spawn a new character.


1. QQ
2. I'm not sure what the point of this is. If I have a claim and let a friend spawn there, that "friend" can stab me in the back by destroying my claim? That's how this reads to me.
3. Useful. Keeps asshats (won't mention any names of who would do this...) from screwing with someone that made a simple mistake. Not sure it's long enough, though, but until the "party teleport" gets working, suppose it shouldn't be too long.

That's the point of #1: and can no longer be built that way

Enough with the picture spam in this thread. It's been stated enough times over the last months (year) that people using the exploit should have been aware it was coming.

Yeah, I pretty much had that image in my mind with the point of the 1 minute cooldown (seen similar things occur in HnH more than once), but wasn't sure about the "Claim Stones can be destryoed during a five minute window". Does that mean anyone can destroy it or only those with permissions on the claim? I would definitely agree destroying my buddy's claim and losing the invested silver would be better than facing that situation. In the case of the former, it's just becomes a tool for hacking and griefing (which is my bigger concern).
