Game Development: Welcome, Have a Seat

Please do.

A link is probably more sufficient as it is probably better explained on the wiki than anyone else can. Used to play it... a lot. Fun game, but definitely not a game if you enjoy faction PvP as your primary activity.

Bad example, in my opinion. EVE, Conan, Darkfall, UO... these would be closer examples of the ideal.

Oh, and forgot: You could sink enemy ships, but war had to be declared, and the declaration had to be mutual. (No "I declare war on you! Deal with it!" like in EVE.)

watched a russian player break 3 stone walls in under 5minutes each time without much stoppage for regen, ... and blazers are easy to disable without ever attacking the walls directly.

5 minutes to get through a stone wall is quite a long time when you consider the person is being fired on by braziers and torchposts and all that. And if they weren't, your defenses are crappy, it's not the raid mechanic that's broken.

What do you mean disabling braziers without attacking the walls? How would you do that, exactly? I think you're just lying now.

Billions of blue blistering barnacles! I think we should keep the raiding mechanics discussion in the other 2 development threads to be honest. Does anyone know what "Tile transitions for fen alternate tile" means?

Mutual for the loss. As for the others, Conan pvp was awesome on the hardcore pvp server while it lasted, tho classes were not well balanced ( and classes suck ). Eve forces group combat which i disliked. No real way to solo pvp. As for UO, the best mmo of all time, it functioned pretty well both before the notoriety system and after imo. Their system was basically a forced title system, with the far evil end, Dread Lords, open to killing without gaining ciminal flag. This system worked decent, as u could burn down you dastardly title fairly easily if u were part time bad guy, but once u did enough consecutive bad **** was hard to burn dread lord title.

lololol you dont know how to drain blaziers?? O-o if people arent online its easy to turn 1000 blazers to scrap :/ and im not even a raider/griefer.. i just tend my farms

as for walls. perhaps but in all honestly 5minutes or less for 1 person to break walls is nothing when they have 400+ humors (or suspected of such) add in the fact of blazer draining or catching hermits/towns while they are offline so they cant repair :/ anyone thinking walls are balanced to player humors is either on some really funky drugs or wearing rose tinted glasses.

from what i have seen personally and what has been posted time and again on the forums.. (that isnt full of *****) walls in salem are damn near pointless.. unless you drop a village claim worth of walls around a pilgram house almost anyone who isnt a scrub raider would get in pretty easy. (and no im not asking for +hp walls or blazers but actual balancing...)

Hows it feel to know nothing about the game?

I'd love to hear this please. As a forewarning, throwing a million alts at them really doesn't work or count as successfully draining braziers.

I've spoken with Jorb personally and it takes upwards of 500 activations in order to drain 1 brazier and multiple braziers firing does nothing to change that. Since the tribe took 5 hours to get 37 activations in I can safely say that it's not easy at all even if your opponent has gone away for the entire weekend.

Robert, you do know you can put in more than one coal right?
