I can see leveling guilds for cosmetic addons. Flags for their guildhall, tabards for their members etc...SWTOR had a similar system. I'm against anything other than cosmetic.

@grofire Hate speech does not exist? You have got to be kidding. Racism is the epitome of speech with a root in hatred. A player should not have to endure that kind of language in the game. In fact, there is no place for it in the world either. It is a sad individual who has that much hatred in them.

There has to be safe storage for things in the game. I've already seen what happens when you can lose everything in a raid. Life is Feudal: YO had that. When they implemented judgment hour whole settlements became scorched earth over night. Something that took days/weeks/months to build. Needless to say many of those players just rage quit and never came back. That game took a major nose dive with the forum activity going from too many daily posts to track to almost nothing going on. When people play a game they expect to have fun. Losing everything only to have to restart is no fun. That is why I don't alpha test any more. Having to constantly rebuild after a wipe just gets to tedious for me.

I thought the same thing in the beginning until my son pointed out you can click the header to the forums lol.

I know people like the "realism" and having things take time, but I'd rather the tool immediately process your materials. If this is going to be a waiting game where I have to write down times for things to check I;m not going to be long for the game. I gave up facebook games where everything was set on timers for completion. Life is too short to be waiting on a game to have fun.

@Gothix Sandbox doesn't mean no rules. It means open world with no linear path. You are allowed to go where you want and do what you want. UO is a sandbox and there are plenty of rules governing pvp and other player interactions. The game will crash and burn if there are not rules in place that control griefing.

I was playing Outlands free UO server which started off as fun. But then the pks and thieves started invading and the devs gave in to those same arguments; that the blues just needed to play better. Needless to say the pop of the server plummeted. I personally find players whose only course of gameplay is to hinder other players and laugh as a scourge.

I was just wondering if there is any possibility that city nodes might expand to the underworld? I always liked the idea of the UnderDark in D&D lol.

Merry Christmas to you and everyone else

Hope it starts soon because it seems people are running out of things to talk about lol.

Sounds alot like UO only better. Why should the flags happen without witnesses? Simple, this is a game and not real life. There need to be controls put into place to control griefing.

@GreatValdus Not all citizens of a city may necessarily be working together. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who would take those resources for themselves.

@Ostaff I'm glad it's a mute topic but I want to make sure I voice my opinion for those who are trying to change that aspect of the game. I was under the impression in this thread others were advocating to make it harder to process materials.

@GreatValdus If the city can say who uses facilities then there is no competition for them. Your argument is invalid. I'd rather the competition be who can make the best items to sell rather than if you are even able to get your resources processed to make items. First time I put my resources into a processing piece of equipment and they get stolen I'm out of this game. In the game world there are no consequences for crimes because true justice doesn't exist. Justice is in the form of time delays and flags for the offender are a joke. Those who have the crimes perpetrated against them get no justice or recompense. They only get grief and frustration. I'm not going to play a game where I'm constantly feeling frustrated.

Even if your resources could not be accessed, having only a set few processing stations that are public could mean that some players are NEVER able to process their resources depending upon when those timers end. It's not like you can put your stuff into a que so that your stuff eventually goes into production. Why do people constantly feel a game has to be hard and realistic to be fun.

I've said in other posts I think it's a horrible idea that other players can just take your stuff from a processing station that they didn't put in. Any option for griefing that is allowed is a stain on the game imo. Why not instance these crafting stations in the public areas so that only the player who put them in can remove them and the stations are still accessible for other players to use? Are we wanting a situation where a player gets mad and quits the game?

@Prometheus Will there be some kind of ingame auction or auction house?

I saw in the marketplace there is a way to sell buy it now but what about being able to set an auction with a time limit for people to bid stuff up?

@Ostaff Hopefully they reconsider this option. We used to have alot of fun just sparring.

If you are able to damage other players with your pvp flag popped does this mean if you hit an aoe and hit a player of the same alignment does it affect your karma rating? Or does it only happen if you actually kill someone? I'm hoping that we can turn on the pvp mode to have rp events and spar with mates.

I'm pretty sure this was discussed in another thread awhile back. I personally think it shouldn't goto steam until almost all the bugs are worked out. There is nothing that will kill a game faster than a bad rating on steam. Remember No Man's Sky?

I like the idea of one player base together. There is nothing worse than playing a mmo and no one is around you lol.
