So yeah, I thought this had been adressed - that the “Governing Company can select only 10 players”, but they still end up with selecting everyone by kicking people until they get a full roster of their chosen people.
How is this ok? This effectively makes it so that only the top companies can do these things, and on servers like mine where a faction only owns so little, most people cant even play invasions. And yes, I’m annoyed, because I was invited and got to the fort several times, and kicked, and sent to roster and had my “invitation withdrawn” so many times I lost count.
I’ve seen excuses such as “they have a lot at stake” and are the ones paying for damages - but first of all, they can afford it - that’s what taxes are for, for instance - and secondly, I’m having my workbenches downgraded. I may not own them, but I sure am using it. I’ve also seen people using the excuse that “what about voice!”, well, I dont have to be in the same company - or the same faction even - to use voice comms. The game has comms and I am able to join discord servers even though I’m not part of the same faction - shocker!
So - I want a dev answer about this, please. How are we going forward with this? If the governing company should only be able to chose 10 and then 40 randoms, this kick-until-filled-with-our-people are an exploit. If this should be the standard, then why arent you guys changing it so that the governing company chose all 50 from the very beginning instead?
IT’S FRUSTRATING AS HELL if nothing, to sign up for it, get invite after invite after invite, get to the fort and be kicked, etc, when AGS are fine with the defending company be the sole decidor in this.
At this point, I’m all for having the defending company the full authority to chose all 50 from the start, since that’s exactly what’s happening right now anyway.
That way, we lose all the frustrations and friction - I mean, you get warnings and bans for just being rude to people in opposite factions, so having a system that invites one faction being rude to another makes no sense.
Bruh are u sure u can defend the city like the company whos sitting in voice channel all 50 ppl and know what they are doing , not just randomly running across map and damaging. ? Did u bought a city for 100k? Did u with ur company attacked and grab the city ? Im sure answer is no , if u not happy with that make ur own guild and try to grab the city by ur own
Bruh.
Yeah, because I can join a com. That’s not something that is uniquely for the defending company.
Oh, I’m sure they’ve spent lots of money on a city they get hundreds of thousands of gold through taxes from. As if that’s an issue. Get real. They lose less from repairs than they gain from the taxes.
Same here - i never saw such invastion from the inside since i play. And i was on 2 servers so far (60) its literally only for the honored small number of people called “the choosen one”
They can easy fix this by removing theyr own people from the random waiting list at all - so after they choosen 10 of theyr own everyone else of theyr own company will be removed.
The issue is not the action the issue is participation.
Players controlling access of game content from other players is a poor game design.
There is a reason that the owning company was given 10 slots and the remainder was randomly chosen. The kick feature breaks that paradigm and prevents players from accessing content.
In essence this is a very poor design feature and the kick feature (with the exception of the 10 allotted to the owning company) should be disabled.
