How Shell Companies are damaging the Game: An example from my server and why PTR changes not enough

Also this is a major issue too. The fact that one company will take over 2-11 territories on a server basically locks many players out of what is pretty much the high prize pinnacle of content/PvP in this game. How is another group supposed to GitGud and beat them when the sweaty company has and gets 5x as much war experience a week as anyone trying to compete?

Please show us your gear and war stats.

But who cares about managing territories if EF/WW/BW are upgraded? It’s simply waste of money to upgrade Weaver’s and not needed at all. All territories don’t have to be upgraded, that’s just game design.

To the other guy… Well my friend, just go on a server that’s less sweaty because that won’t ever change. It’s not fault of the best companies that everything is mixed, that’s MMO issue. There’s no matchmaking.

@sireaglestrike you are preaching to the choir dude. Everyone from the outside looking in can see it’s an issue.

Seemingly only the hardcore players can’t see the wood through the trees.

This is my main gear, my alt doesn’t have a war yet so you’re probably gonna dismiss that anyway, but its basically the same except the leggos are just purple items + an amulet with health stam recov

@anarkiii you do realise people might not want to pay increased taxed in the zones that are upgraded.

They might have territory buffs to reduce crafting costs in these areas. They might not have the storage capacity to do all their crafts in just one or two zones.

Right now the war and territory system affects the whole player base and casuals can’t affect this at all. They don’t have the time to dedicate to “git gud” and this needs improving it is frustrating for everyone on the server bar the top 150 players who just wanna do wars.

I’m talking about LIFESTYLE BUFFS. And I specifically remarked about how I straight up didn’t have hale and hearty (and neither did one of the war logging companies as they were freaking out spamming town boards less than an hour before a defensive war) for a period of time because of it. A crafter in my company today lost armorer’s inspiration for similar issues. I’m sorry if how other people playing the game is a foreign concept to you, but people like to have multiple lifestyle buffs up for the various parts of the game they are playing. War logging companies are generally shit at this, and it damages the game. See: Title of this thread.

sure, i’m fine with the changes, just stop with the copium ok?

AGS can spend all the time they want tweaking the territory control system, but in the end the best solution will be to simply delete player influence over territories.
The simplest and cleanest solution is the best. Not more and more rules that will probably be circumvented in some way anyway.

Better PvP by completely separating player influence over Settlements - Game Feedback / Game Feedback - New World Forums

Yeah, if your alt is in 10k gear and “doing just fine” when it hasn’t even seen a war that directly goes against the entire argument you’ve been making, ROFL.

And I see that part of your side of this argument is that you’re a healer, which is very much less gear intensive since a major aspect of war is to keep you safe or have you run run run away. Though also funny you make the “only need 10k in gear” while you link a 150k amulet, ROFL again.

what about putting all wars at the same time at the same days?
woulnd’t this also make it so even with shell companies, they just can’t defend those territories at the same time?

i mean the amulet was a free drop anyway everyone is gonna get something at some point
I switched to healer like 3 weeks ago and played medium ig/vg for almost a year with same quality gear.
Also i’ll get in war sooner or later on my alt, so what are you gonna respond when i have no issue playing with full purples on 140 ping?

Same will be happens on tartarus. HG and D1slike are there now and they will again (i guess) destroy the server… afterwards they will go to the next one. I hope AGS will stop this shit with shells. Our Comp cant join any war now.

Also they will go to an other server afterwards… I mean im not playing on tararus or better aruu 2.0… :frowning: :frowning:

Still going to be here talking about how shell companies are damaging the game, but keep harping with your side argument, bud.

np suit yourself, just hope i turned off the copium machine for a bit

You’re the one coming into a thread to rile up arguments that don’t in any way counter the points being made in said thread.

what points? “my company gives people gear so gear matters”

See, you’re not even reading the thread, you’re just here to argue, lol…

we get it shells are bad thats kinda why they already fixed it next patch should i make a thread about IG exploits from a year ago now?

“They (potentially) fixed this thing in a patch (that isn’t here yet) why are you guys still talking about something that hasn’t even happened yet!?!?!?!?!?” really dude, really?
