Timer put on Ghost structures
Hi...

I did a search but did not find any postings. Thought this was brought up before.

Other aspects of Tribe size and such will be addressed in the future and this may be a reason why my suggestion will be shelved, But...

Can we put a timer on Ghost structures so that if a tribe goes inactive with many Ghost structures placed that they will disappear at the end of the timer. this would also include Ghosts with Materials put in them.

Part of the reason would be lag. Even with current fixes, as you cross into a zone that has a large camp with large amounts of Ghost structures, it still takes too much time to render if you want to get through the zone fast thus leading to possible crashes.

the other part is just my own opinion or mebbe others share this....it looks Ugly....if you are not going to be active enuff to finish a project then don't place it.

I have witnessed several peoples projects where I can understand placing everything you can think of to make sure it fits before actually building it but...THEY finished it...not just set up project after project and then don't come back to game for months.

Make the timer on Ghost structure similar to totem abandonment but no abandonment rule...so if a structure is not built within X timeframe it just goes ...Poof...gone.

p.s. I myself am a small abuser of the ghosting left for ages since I swap what server I'm playing on for a month at a time but I would not biotch if this was applied.

This is a great idea, you can have it so longer you take the it will decay away even with resources in it.

What I set up is just to delete ghost structures when a tribe is abandoned. It's switched off and I forgot about it. It just needs to be tested.

I'll check with Guides this week to give me locations with a lot of ghost structures and I'll set them to abandon on the Test Server so I can make sure what I set up functions as designed.
