Its 50 people circumventing mechanics to control a whole map. This crap obviously isn’t intended. You might as well say its ok to use invulnerability exploits, duped gold, duped gear, macros, stat point exploits. Its all the same. An exploit.
There are top 1% players for a reason. Its because not everyone is that skilled. One company owning an entire server is bad for the game. Wake up and see that. You can cry go beat them all you want. Thats like asking football fans to get together and go beat an NFL team.
If you don’t see how this is bad for the game after many servers being ruined already and all the people that have left because of it then I don’t know what to tell you. Carry on and bury your head in the sand when eventually every server will evaporate to only the top 1% of the players and the game shuts down.
ur suggestion would stop wars ur expecting others to do the work for you and be limited to 1 war a day your the one being selfish get off your tush and start running start a war and you control whos in it dont exect others to do it for you or to give up the wars they have to run a 1000 quests for and pay 15k to host to be held out of there own wars lol and opr has been out for mounths on end server health has to do with everyone being able to play the game there own way not the way others tell them even more so to do with there own towns your comments are selfish and stupid your littarly saying * doing the work for me pay for it and be locked out* wars dont exist without people acctualy doing the work and the people who do the work ussaly wanna be in those wars end of story
ur still expecting people to do it for you then put you in there wars isnt gonna happen on a server till you work your gs and get your stuff up and get known your asking people to put there coin there time running to cap a town and trying to dictate there wars your littarly on a diffrent planet thats not how anything works anywhere in any world
I REPEAT it cost money and time to start a war you wanna say whos in your war start one or shut up
You’re upset that people play the market? It’s an open world player driven trading post. It’s part of the game. It’s also something you can do yourself through buy and sell orders. Don’t hate on people who are better equiped at understanding market trends.
I have been putting a lot of thought into this For reference I’m on Castle of steel And I do get slotted In wars on a regular basis So this would hurt the amount of wars I’m in
I think a 24 hour cooldown would be unnecessary To be honest the 3 hour cool down would essentially do the same thing considering siege windows
By doing a 3 hour cool down you’re forcing Allied companies to truly consider their siege windows It would allow for more slots And for us hardcore gamers It’s still possible to get 2 wars In A-day
i do think names should be attached if someone wants to make everyone pay more by buying out the market with town money and force our people to pay more, and i could do same thing its just a sleeze ball move and without names attached you cant hold repercusions and choose to not be around those kind of people… im 200 armorer, furny and archana its bs to think i couldnt i obv could its just sleezy and there should be names attached to give us choice
I buy out the market often, without company money. I collect up to gold cap, buy out the market of some items to relist, make a profit and then craft items looking for BiS gear. I’ve never been given gold or items from territory owners, even when we owned WW for 3 months.
I’ve managed to craft all my own gear, get all my own skills to 200, obtained all crafting/refining sets, and all trophies. I did that on my own.
I did it by using my skills with understanding markets. Yet, I’m sleezy for doing it? You do know that once an item is bought out it will return to normal market value within a out 24 hours. So it’s not like some huge con. People pay for convenience so they want their items now. That’s where easy buy and sell orders combined with crafting/refining makes tons of money.
What if the big companies you’re so concerned about stop buying for opposing factions? What if they decide they want to black list a player? You see only the pros and ignore the potential negatives.
im not worried about big companys owning areas i said that i just beleive names should be attached to the market i would`nt hold a hole company responible. id just think you are a peice of crap i also dont give a crap about your guild size i run a good size guild and next i dont give a dam weather people buy off the enemy or not but should be our choice.
Also iv never seen a game where 1 company could get everyone else in the game to do what they say, so who gives a poop if one large company didnt like ya…
however if someone for example buys all the green wood from a decent price and resets it higher that hurts the server and ya i understand its easy money but dosnt change without names being attached we cant say thats the peice of crap that did this.
p.s it dosnt take brains to buy something cheap and sell it higher they need names so we can stop inflantion. Plain and simple, if it didnt work having names on the ah, then everyother game wouldnt have done this exact thing, wow,swtor,aos,.scrolls,uo,ffXI, couple of names of games that all did this to prevent people like you, if it didnt work the big names wouldnt have used it with millions compared to maybe 10k accrossed the whole game…
The problem is not war lockouts but settlement ownership.
Remove player influence from Settlements and a lot of issues, including this one, are solved.
Wars become more accessible to everyone.
There is a big issue not being mentioned that needs to be changed. Big company that most likely owns at BW/WW/EF are making millions of gold a week. They have so much gold they can buy BIS gear and weapons for their (TOP 50), buy mercenaries, buy out TP, etc. I agree with a type of war exhaustion that makes it way harder for a BIG company to do that. I don’t agree with making it a faction war. It would be to crazy to coordinated an attack or defensive war.
I agree with needing war exhaustion, however you have not addressed one critical facet: multiple accounts.
Take, for instance, a large big-3 owning company (let’s say Dawnguard from Camelot, which is pushing on your server of Pluto right now I believe) that are skilled enough and invested enough to want to own the big 3 on multiple servers.
The workaround, given each of their toons can be in only one war a day, is to have multiple toons.
This puts strain on the economy for good gear, artificially inflates server number metrics, and the war/shell company problem remains. Unless that is addressed too, the only clear winner is AGS in the form of game sales and server transfer micro sales.
Even with multiple accounts you’d be locked into one war on each char a day. This still allows for territory spread and wealth spread. On all the high pop servers you’ll see that WW/EF aren’t the only money making territories. People have started to wise up and spread out their money useage. I suppose they could use multiple accounts on one server to to multiple wars a day to own the big territories, not sure how you’d stop that, but that seems like a fringe case.
All this whining over participation trophies is what killed the game for me. You don’t get to join war just because you’re in the same faction, fuck that. “muh small company!!!” Nobody’s problem but yours. You choose to be part of a small company with just a few war-ready members. The bigger companies which spend thousands of hours leveling/funding/gearing their players don’t owe you anything.
