I play on small EU server one company had 7 towns(4 with fake/empty companies) and they literally left 4-5 of them in ruins just to collapse empty town boards. This idea fraction company to control town and to adjust taxes and develop is good on first look but can be badly abused, i doubt any one will point North Korea for best place for living. This is deep core problem and merging servers will help but in long term problem will come back. Few thing can be done this to stop.
1st one company to can get max to 2 towns
2nd defend and conquest town to be done with 50% from army to be company members only(with limitation you cant participate in war first 7 days you join in company)
3 fixed % and tax for transactions and costs
I dont remember even one example of successful country or good place for living on Earth under military dictatorship (maybe im wrong), why the hex will work good in video game
depends on how you define “working” and the perspective you look at it
I understand that it’s frustratng for soloplayers to have no control over upgrades, taxes etc.
On the other side there should be an incentive for companys to claim cities and a bonus to own them. In my opinion an MMO should always focus on group/guild gameplay instead of solo gameplay.
PvP problems can always be solved with PvP. You can always change faction, build a community and fight back. That’s what this system (and this game) is about. If you and others feel territory owners do bad stuff you can always do something about it ingame. you just need to do the work to organise it
When I read your post I feel like that’s not what you want. You want a singleplayer game where you make all the decisons. maybe try skyrim or witcher 3. great games
There is. A busy town Floods money into a companies treasury. A company with a busy town can rake in large amounts of excess income and divide it amoung players in the company.
Aha so what i do in real world must be 100 times more frustrating and unfair in game i play for fun. If you are not happy from your government you take the gun and start revolution you say . I see you have some fair points, but we have limitations we cant migrate or we could do it ones, i guess you apply few times to go live in north Korea :P. With this system how is now game will be more and more empty. Game should be fun equally for all players there should not be good for some and bad for some.
Of course you have your perspective and opinion and is fair to be this way or is better i to come and claim mine to be the only one with gun
NW is not the real world. the comparision is just bad.
you can change faction once every 120 days (yes I agree that should be more often maybe once a month). Your north korea comparison is ridiculous, no city or territory in NW puts you in prison if you want to leave. you can freely make groups and organise resistance. Why do people always have to bring Hitler or North Korea into discussions about things that have no connection to them?
But I agree that it’s bad for the game in the state it is in right now. with dwindling playernumbers the entire system doesn’t work. without server merges it wll get worse soon because the towns won’t get upgraded and make even less money. the servers won’t work without enough people playing of them and that also counts for soloplayers.
This is what i say competition is nice and actually good but if there is some authority to control it or at least in some fair limits and not allow to be abused. What in my proposition prevent PVP activities, benefits and rewords ?
Nice way to completely turn what I said. It had absoloutly nothing to do with what the OP asked. I was giving a benefit to one reason companies own towns. Sorry your server is flooded with Dupes and gold sellers
I don’t think it is abuse. that’s what I’m trying to say. If a company makes unreasonably high taxes, as I said, organise resistance. pvp should be the regulating factor. My opinion is that these things should (on a working server with enough people that play on it - I’m not talking about the situation rn because it’s fucked anyways) be settled by ingame politics. that’s what the system aims at. The vision behind this system is to create ingame politics like for example in eve online
Also, there is no benefit whatsoever.
It is absolutely unbalanced flow of money to company, which in fact does not have to necesarily do anything as there are strong players in faction anyway, which simply likes to play wars. Therefore, the company could be absolute horse shizzle meanwhile possesing astronomical amount of money, which is not being pumped up back to economy.
or destroy all towns make only one ‘‘busy’’ town and milk taxes from rest and keep all for yourself at one point youll be the only one left in this world and you will literally own it like a private server there will be no PVP too coz you cant fight with yourself but who care NW is PVP main focus game
You are Correct. My point Was there are companies on some Servers who have hundreds of thousands of gold pumped into them and they can almost pay there members out in large portions of gold. They have a monopoly on dead Towns to force players into a built up town and funnel huge amounts of money into one zone.
To give and Example A friend of mine playing on a large Active 1 faction dominated server is part of a company that controls one of 2 main territories. Those 2 territories are the only ones built up on the map really worth crafting in. The town brings in so much they have players with Alt accounts who are doing nothing but holding gold.
look it this way it is more like to leave the server and game then to do this its same for many players if it stay this way in long term on end there will be single fractions controlled worlds and that moment even your beloved PVP will be gone coz you cant fight with yourself. Dont get me wrong i dont demand for PVE or single play game, i demand for more stable game more balanced game.
maybe is even more easy solution if company get town and dont maintain board and structures for more then 3 days to lose it and to not have the right to start war there for period of time
