Houses are usually fun, you buy a home and decorate it. I can spends hours doing just that.
Level my Furnishing to craft new and fun furniture to place. Browse the online store to see if thier is anything i want to buy that looks nice to me. Hope for a new recipe or random bit of furniture to drop while questing. ect ect
But this whole tax thing is off-putting in a big way. 5 days, 7 days, whatever it still feels like work not FUN and not PLAY. (a concept many seem to overlook or not understand… I hear alot of Git-Gud or Grind missions or Become a day trader and buy and sell on the broker) ohh… yes… they all sound like fun and play… NOT!
Feels like i’m being punished for being a casual player who just wants to have fun, and for me that’s all about mood. Today i feel like running missions, tomorrow maybe abit of exploring, next PVP time, maybe abit of roleplaying, just chatting with friends socializing, today some havesting and some crafting, or a mix of all of the above ect ect…
Telling me I have no choice but to grind 3 faction missions for gold in a GAME ment for FUN and PLAY seems… wierd to me and doesn’t work ever. period…
Perhaps i’m just wierd and in the minority, I know and have read that thier are alot of real issues atm, but none of them effect my playstyle really as I can always find something FUN to do in this New World and so have not been bothered with them…
Imagine if you bought a 120k house IRL and had to pay a weekly tax of 5000$ lol, this is the equivalent using their tax numbers. Kinda sucks when your taxes over a few weeks could’ve bought you another house pretty soon
There are a lot of issues with taxes, maybe not bugs but still it could use a response. I think they respond to toxic threads only, or when you call them out for not communicating. So lets give them hell.
The tax existing in the first place is bad when so many other things are taxed to hell. There’s no reason for it other than to delete gold. If the current taxes covered a real world month, then… ok fine. WIth town rep reducing housing tax, I could accept that as long as no controlling company can change housing tax rate above 5%. Any more is just stupidly hurting players for no reason.
Yes mr troll, I don’t want to work hard in game that is not supposed to be a real life simulator and no mr. troll I am not a gold farmer, sounds boring as hell.
I don’t believe you, do you have an example of this happening? I have had a house for weeks and when I don’t pay my taxes my storage is unaffected. How do you “loose”(sic) it?
You don’t completely loose it, nor do you loose anything, all you loose is the extra space storage chests give you. You can then only withdrawl untell you reach your limit for the area bank without the chests.
Can someone explain how tax rate work? E.x if i have t4 i have to pay 1.000. if in my own faction it is 30% off and let say town tax is 10% so it is: 1000-30%+10% = 770 per 5 days. or if i am not in same faction it is: 1000+10% = 1100 right? So why am i have to pay 1650 per 5 days??? How this shyt works!!! Explain someone!!! And please dont copy paste the formula from wiki cause it is confusing and too strange. Ohh and i have 23% property reduction!!! so 1000+10%-23% there is no 30 from faction cause green got the FL ====847
Troll is right to a point. This game is heavy on the farming and crafting, there should be some push to get you to do so. Having gold sinks is that push and no you should not be able to do a couple daily quests a day and afford it all. So if just spamming PvP and PvE elite zones is all you are here for, you will be and should be broke.
Paying taxes is the least fun part of real life. And a game is supposed to be fun. They should, obviously not remove it or make it irrelevant, but make it a lighter part of the game experience, at the very least.
I understand why you would try and create a system where people would feel like they HAVE to play, to earn money and pay for their houses. But it’s having the opposite effect for a lot of people.
You are correct of coarse. Just for casuals it’s hard, Challenge should be monsters and other people, not how i’m going to pay rent this week on something i already bought.
Maybe if they said you are renting this house and not buying it?
Don’t have an answer for the problem, but as there are issues with the economy at the moment that AGS is looking into, maybe they will fix it by makeing gold abit easyer get.
While they are at it they should fix the ability to pay taxes remotely while figuring in discounts. Right now if you want your discounts you have to walk all the way from wherever you are to the house to get them. Paying remote costs full price. Working as intended, just to waste more time and add frustration?
How about this, you run x number of town board missions or you pay taxes for the week. A new town board for house owners to supply maintenance materials vs paying tax for upkeep. Have there be an alternate. What gaming enjoyment is lost by removing housing tax? Sorry, not having to pay housing tax takes nothing away from my fun and enjoyment of playing.
No matter what, tax enough to buy more than 2 full houses a year, at minimum, is too much. The maximum should be house value over a year’s time.
If gold deletion is the objective, find other, more interesting and fun ways to accomplish it.
Not go pay your taxes…
I agree. It should be once a week.
I also think you should be able to pre-pay for a few weeks at a time. I would love to pay my rent ahead of time when I do sell something and just know it’s paid.
