Housing Taxes - AGS is showing untrusting behavior

Now this, I agree. 10% is stupid. I’ll support you 100% to lower housing rent/tax/dues.

That’s like saying, since ferrari makes fast cars, they should be held accountable for all the car accidents.

You were calling people bitches and punks…I guess when you do, it’s because you are a legit tough guy.

Sure. They get better gear and continue on with how they do things.

Nil desperandum carborundum :wink:

I won’t as I knew. But for the majority of casuals, who don’t visit the forums and bought after the reduction - AGS Comms are poor at best - and they are too blame for that.

Oh - and the PTR feedback on this fell short - the reaction is much worse. A pity no-one suggest a multitude of other sensible option - oh wait, they did :wink:

If I wanted to complain about taxes and shitty house prices, I’d just live my life.
I thought games were meant to be fun, where you don’t have to worry about such annoyances, but seems like developers think imitating the boring parts of our real life is somehow enjoyable.

The problem may be that you don’t work in real life and are living off the backs of other people.

Most people work in real life during the day times hours haven’t been able to log in to make changes to the taxes on housing, all set to the maximum amount because of free tax break given out by AGS, when able to log in they will adjust the taxes to lower rate or not and lose housing in their area.

I can see this in real life as well, some blue states raised local and state taxes too high, when a ‘SALT’ cap was lower make sure the rich pay their fair share it was a shock to people to have to pay all of their fair share in taxes. Now that AGS has removed the ‘SALT’ deduction you see the tax problem just like those Blue states.

territory lvl 56 all what i can putt in to lower tax… and

i cant AGS i cant… :frowning: why are you doing it… i cant anymore…

I don’t think that Amazon is interested to any extent to complete or how to bring this game into a playable state

hey developers, you at least react to the thread!

Yeah… I don’t believe in that theory. I’d bet good money that most of the leaders of town owning companies are absolutely not people working 40+ hours a week. They are far more likely the people playing this game like >> it << was a 40+ hour job.

What they should have done was lock the tax at 2% and then allow adjustment based on the income of territories. So if they pull, say, over 500k a week from the territory, they’re locked at a 2% housing tax. If they pull less, then they can adjust it up to 5%.

This would incentivize people crafting and selling where they owned houses to keep the taxes low, and incentivize the owners to keep the crafting stations funded.

This is the point where you don’t pay your tax, if you’re owning a town that isn’t WW or EF lower your tax down to peanuts on property and something else and get people to relocate to your towns because it’s way more affordable

And don’t pay your house tax and let everyone know in global like I do

Hey there Vapok, Thank you for your feedback and post. I’ve compiled a report to send on to the developers and hopefully we can take a further look into this issue.

Thanks @Zelme - I think changes to this aspect of the game would resolve a lot of issues. There are too many ways for companies to be abusive and toxic to players not in their company if they are territory owners.

This is what a company in Valhalla wants us to pay with full 10%. Nope not gonna pay it. I don’t even care about the perks I have there. I will just use storage in other locations lol

I’ll be honest… I might be HAPPY to pay it…

If I didn’t pay $20K upfront.

I doubt I could agree with that even. I find it to a very dumb thing to almost punish people for wanting to buy a house.

Sure, you don’t have to get one but then you miss out on the best crafting and other things. The game almost forces you to get on if you want to do something the best you can in the game.

This was another poorly thought out idea that only benefits the ALREADY MEGA RICH.

In my new quest to provide positive feedback rather than just moan.

Housing rent prices are nothing compared to when it launched. I was paying 1000+ a month for a T4 in BW. Its a lot better now.

They do need to ensure that house ownership is something done in the background, not an option you need to grind gold for.

End.

There is partially mutations and whole development process to blame here.
Taxes were increased across the board on release of mutations to fund war preparation (and it is content we cant even participate as casuals so there is no benefit for us)

  • This funneling of money on high tier mutations led to massive increase in mutation run costs locking casual players completely outside of the range of even affording to do these runs.

Town owners are using YOU to have fun and get better at the game at expense of you not being able to do anything but pay house taxes at 10%
In our server there is only one town with active trading skill buffs and the taxes were set sky high
