It would actually be a great and positive thing if factions as a whole benefited monetarily from town ownership. This would incentivize way more people to engage in territory pvp activities. It would also naturally cause more cooperation among faction members. With the current tilt towards companies getting 100% of the financial gain there is nothing but negative and toxic to be had from it. This should have been blatantly clear to so-called game developers when the idea was initially floated. These numbskulls were completely oblivious to the obvious outcome when they not only proposed but actually implemented this system. Just like the idiotic “make good”. Not a single one of them were intelligent enough to realize the obvious and how that would be totally abused by 100% of town owning guilds. This entire development team must be replaced if New World is to have a snowballs chance of ever recovering.
They are weeding out the weak players that ruined this game to begin with, the pve non flagging type will soon be gone so they can refocus and build the game they intended to build.
If only that were true.
Hey Troll boy… its gonna be working as intended!
- We learned a lot from lower housing taxes in December, and want to further reduce the costs and friction with taxes to players that own homes and have greatly reduced housing taxes. We also increased the amount of company revenue earned from housing taxes to not soften any disruption to their income. We are continuing to evaluate and make optimizations to our overall territory tax system, here are the changes introduced for the February Monthly Release (not in the PTR):
- Updated housing tax minimum band to 0.1% down from 5%.
- Updated housing tax maximum band to 1% down from 10%.
- Controlling company receives 5x coin from housing taxes.
They just need to tweak wars so defenders don’t win by default against more skilled and better geared attackers. Seen it kill many servers, especially post merge. The EF/WW reps trolling this thread are most definitely on the defender side.
I don’t like the gold I earn going to players that do absolutely nothing for me. It doesn’t matter how much gold I have or don’t have.
Taxes suck we have a clan of gold sellers maxing all towns and raking in all the $$$$$$
The WW and EF company members are easy to pick out here. It’s pretty obvious when someone defends such a disgusting game system as the tax system in this game…they are grossly benefiting from it. I know a lot of them have the default line that they’re not part of a town owning company bla bla bla…
yeah I get that. Thinking about it I do not like that either
So everyone who isn’t upset like you must be on the take? It just couldn’t be that some people aren’t upset like you?
I have no idea how that sentence pertains to the facts I laid out. If you’d like some further education please ask a logical question or state a logical opinion.
That is your quote. So if someone defends the current tax system, the only reason they can be doing it is because they are profiting from it. There is no other possible explanation according to you. Now think about what I posted. Maybe people aren’t upset like you, aren’t bothered by it, don’t think it is that big of a deal. According to you, that cannot be possible … those people must be profiting from it … ie they are what, just lying when they say they are not in one of the controlling companies?
Well I suppose there are real people that get off on physically hurting themselves and such. So yeah although the chances are slim I can stretch to imagine someone may actually enjoy such an overtly toxic and unfun system they they get zero benefit from.
No, it’s simply that you are totally wrong. People know it’s not an issue and you have a small amount of others crying against a designed system that impacts them in no way.
not only that but it would also add incentive to join the faction with the lowest population and push for land because there would be more money if there is less people and they take land.
Please provide evidence that everyone else is happy with the system? Maybe ask the 95% that stopped playing to come back and explain why they left.
Even with the changes the WW/EF owners are hitting it big. Hopefully with time they add real restrictions that stop those two territories from dominating allowing all territories to be worthwhile and therefore decent PVP targets.
To say the current system is fine is either complete ignorance or just lying to protect your RMT interests.
Hahahahha rmt conspiracies again. If you don’t like a company having a town man up and take it
I’ve had that dude muted for weeks now. I’ve found he never says anything worth reading.
RMT is one example that we know occurred on our server.
We have seen many cases of the best PVPers being paid to defend those territories, with all that free money. It was literally talked about as the war was happening. And the actual owners if they bother to show up have the best of what they need form buying it or buying the mats to make it. Look at the threads that talk about this, you’re ignoring them or just being deceitful.
From what we’ve learnt there is zero accountability for people doing the wrong thing (exploiters, dupers, cheats, bots, few are banned and some are back after a day) so it is pointless to keep reporting them.
The system has to change. If you are a PVPer and want more wars then the other territories need to be more worthwhile or more importantly, EF/WW need to be less important. Amrine and Starstone (not so much) bring people back to do them (even lvl 60s!), where are the lvl 45+ dungeons for FL, MB and CK that bring the high levels thru on occasion?
I think a limit to the number of T5 crafting stations a town can have would help a lot Let’s say 1 or 2 T5s only, the rest can be T4 (all refining can be T5). And the cost to have those stations should be a lot higher than present.
Others have mentioned that companies should lose their territory if they do not pay upkeep (you know, the shell companies with one person owned by EF/WW owners). This again would create some desire to PVP as active, involved companies would compete for it.
The reason we think you must be profiting is because there are so many problems and you think it’s fine. It obviously isn’t so you are either lying or just clueless. So which is it?
There isn’t a problem, if you simply aren’t good enough to take a city don’t blame the game. Take a deep breath and realize this game might not be right for you
