The Coles Report Update 28/12/2012

[Kerryann]

Mr. Coles base is alive and well and remain so until Februrary 1st at which time I hope he has made his next payment. He did the sensible thing and I suggest that all Squatters of Salem follow his good example. This game is much more fun and relaxing when Braves are not burning down your base.

Honestly, I admire you for the way you've totaly taken over the server, lol, and I get why some would go along with your tax system.
I've read more about how the raid/combat system works and, (i agree Jordan), its ridiculous, but even so ......... why no-one other than stax's band has joined together to try and stop you, and why stax's lot just gave up, is beyond me.

I'm not on the plymouth server, but if I was i'd rather just up and move to another one than roll over and play dead!

I guess, that once servers open up travel between them, or maybe even before (if I were you, chief, I'd have already planned ahead), you will be doing the same thing throughout Salem and again, I admire you for it and you do it in a highly amusing way, most of the time, (which makes excellent forum reading, lol) BUT, Mr Whitehorn, lol, I, for one, will never, ever, be paying you taxes.

Currently downloading Tera Online onto my computer and if that works out Salem can go ***** itself

I come from TERA dude, at first you'll like it, untill you realise the amount of farming & RNG, GL though ! (they dumbed it down now though, so maybe worth it).
I played 4 different classes to max level and almost best gear (almost because for the best you have to grind 3 months and have % chance to fail)

The PVP looks legit, that's all I'm headed there for

Other opposing factions are on other servers now iirc and the reason why we stopped (for now) is because it's simply a futile attempt with no base setup. Bases get kicked over due to the raid mechanic the way it is before anything constructive is able to be built up and in return characters go unprotected. No way to assemble the numbers/humours/safe base atm to get a retaliation in action. Even Gallows Hill was ****** for defense regardless of the bug used or not. Broken mechanics lead to people just not caring.

Tactics like alternating walls and braziers, glitched stone walls and tree walls are simply above and beyond what I want/feel should need to be put into the game in order to be "safe". The reason why I paid the tax of 300 silver is because I'm getting very tired of caring about a futile system. I'd rather pay the small fee until real action can start due to updates. If there are none, well then I guess Salem can die out in the next year or two.

Isn't the answer obvious? Have two locations, one for non scent leaving farmers. Other is a hearthvault. Never let the two meet. Your welcome.

I don't leave scents. Your information is not helpful and does not solve the problem of the broken mechanic.

Yes but you hung with those who did, in a publicly known location...What did you expect?

There is no one in my area who leaves scents, or intends to leave scents. My base was found because the braves spent every moment that they were online scouring the world map until they found the place. It's not hard. The world isn't that big and the only redeeming quality is that I can't be summon killed.

If you really think we just walk around the world looking for you...then lol.
The world is actually pretty big for just "walking around" looking for someone...

Please show me proof of scents that have been left, or pictures of my base
I've asked for this information repeatedly but have yet to get it
