What is your character name in New World: LemmiVVinks
What server/world did you experience your issue on: Lin Lin
Describe the issue you are experiencing: Grumpa from Smoke Boys hold Everfall and when any player signs up for an invasion there they are contacted in game and told that Smoke Boys run an exclusive roster for invasions and that we will be kicked from the invasion if they don’t release the roster slot prior to invasion call time. According to the set up for Invasions Companies/Govenors are only allowed to reserve 10 slots for invasions. Last night did they not only kick me from the invasion- they would send an invite and then retract it. It was disruptive to the activities I was performing and at one point it actually started to pull me into the invasion but then I was booted back to the city away from the content I was doing. Finally they let me in to the invasion for about 10 seconds and promptly kicked me out. This happened to anyone who was not a yellow Smoke Boys player. This is abusing the Govenors/Consul privilege of being able to remove players from an invasion. This keeps people from participating in the Invasion. This also guarantees the 50 players in smoke boys over 600 gold each earning them over 30,000 gold as a company as well as the loot boxes
Is this a bug or an exploit: Exploit
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: I was kept in a loop of being invited and uninvited for several minutes. I was involuntarily ported to a city. I was denied my right to participate in an open world event and kept from getting gold and a loot box.
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: N/A
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
How about you cover the 150k+ it costs the controlling company to recover if they were to lose the invasion with max upgrades in case of a loss and we’ll count you in?
How about you take a territory?
How about you quit crying on the forums about a non-issue.
How about you stop sounding like a idiot. The costs are covered by taxes. You people need to stop exploiting the system. It was designed to allow the governor 10 slots. It is a PVE event that is supposed to be open to everyone. Your governor is exploiting the system to prevent players from participating in these events. Your company has a private event and it is called the War. So stop being a privileged little snow flake.
Being teleported only happens if you accept the invite. If you hadn’t accepted it you wouldn’t have been pulled away from the content you were doing. They’re also not sending you an invite, the board is auto filled so you were being added back to the invasion automatically and receiving an invite. Simply declining it would have stopped that behavior.
I have not received any official reply on this issue. I also suspect that you asked if it is ok for Governor’s to kick people. To which they have that ability.
The issue is using that ability to exclude players from the PVE event open to all and to stack the roster with only their company.
You can justify it too ok yourself however you would like, but if you are honest with yourself- they are exploiting a feature to gain an advantage for themselves.
Get major corrupted trophies, acquired corruption ward gear, corrupted bane weapons, infused corrupted coatings; and be of use to them, then.
Of course they are going to run a stacked roster of everyone that they KNOW has trophies, coatings, etc - Why the hell wouldn’t they? Too many times opposing companies have sabotaged invasions to fuck over the owners.
Lol ok so they say it does not meet the criteria as an exploit. But is your reading comprehension so bad that you ignore the fact that they say they will be addressing the issue?
I would guess your are a teen or early in your development. You resort to name calling and reference welfare checks because you lack the ability to argue your side of the case with any relevant counterpoints. So just like in game I will ignore any further replies from you and your ilk.
ageist, I didn’t call you anything btw, look who you’re replying too. Also take a minute to read that link and you would see this is a non-issue other than bad AGS game design.
So if I have all of those items - which I do and I bring extra to coatings and stones- just to be helpful- Why exclude me?
So you are willing to lump everyone into a bucket for a few bad actors?
Oh I am better- sorry don’t cry I am an adult although I do question your maturity level. If you have to resort to "your c crying " as a valid argument point you have already lost the argument. It is ok though you can do better in the future. Read up on how to have a conversation/ How to debate a point oh and definitely look up Ad Hominem arguments. It will go a long way!
Please accept my apology- there were a lot of emails flying this morning- and this was a week ago that this happened and there was nothing on the thread till today- that I got any notification on. The truth is I just want to enjoy the game just like everyone else. I do wish everyone a happy and fun new year!
Let’s call this a debate, after openly whining like a petulant child who isn’t allowed to play with someone else’s toy? Who is calling it exploiting, when it isn’t - and is simply the company protecting a vested interest by having full control over the actors involved.
If you fail to comprehend why they are doing this, regardless of your ability or items, then no one can even begin to help you or appease your pathetic crying.
So a Company owns a Territory, They Pay for upgrades. a Loss in an Invasion can end up Costing 60-75k Coins EASY…Yes They will do their best to put in people they know and can trust to give it their all. Invested in trophies and coatings, weapons and so on. And YES, if you dont stop shooting the skulls, or start taking Repair parts when its not your job, you Will get kicked.
Imo Invasion should not have been an Instanced thing, it should Open to every 1. OR their should be a PvE activity with a queue, just like OPR, more similar to Invasions.
Hello, Grumpa here. I am not the Governor of the guild in question, but the consul responsible for the situation described in the post.
I messaged every person who signed up to let them know that they wouldn’t be selected. I did this to hopefully mitigate their loss of time and avoid confusion if they were put into the war and then removed. I will continue to do the same thing until AGS changes the invasion system or modifies their stance as was posted here: Invasion kicking - official statement request - #56 by NW_Mugsy
I hope that AGS changes invasions so that it’s either clear that it’s content that should be up to the territories owner’s discretion, and if not, make it we don’t need to run a preset roster to beat it. If they chose the latter route, I hope that they still retain the right for the territory owner to remove select individuals from the event in case they go AFK or try to grief the invasion. If they allow us to retain these rights, LemmiVVinks, you can be sure to never participate in any of my guild’s invasions in the future.
