I think what bruisie159 is trying to say is - we dont care if we get homesteads or tribes - but we do care about not having the chance to claim our spot on the same day as everybody else.
hehe im with u tredo! And the depth of feeling over this is obvious, i mean check out the number of views this thread has. Huge amount is such a short time even more than the stickied guides. Favouring one group of players over another is a terrible way to launch a game, easpecially this late on.
i have only just started the game this week..last night for an hour to be precise.
What drew me to the game was the whole "sandbox" experience! i can do whatever i want.
Ok what if i want to go down the difficult route of soloing? is sandbox " you be/do anything you want other than solo"
What if i want to make my place in the world? that is the main point that drew me here. Well it seems like you can only make your place in the world if you have teamed up with a bunch of people already...if not then sorry you have to fight over the scraps!
I have played too many games where big guilds call the shots...not saying i wont join a tribe...just saying i am new and wanted to take my time and find my place first. This is meant to be a sandbox not a guild hall!
i would be happy with a small homestead and restrictions on placing them. for example;
You can place a totem to claim a small x area of land to yourself. If you decide to move on then the totem is destroyed and you have a two week real time countdown untill you can place another. so simply choose wisely. Dont rush just to claim any piece of land you stumble across.
This would make me really search and think about where im placing. " this looks like a great piece of land...hmmm likely a large tribe will be looking at it, so if i place close i am likely to be forced out...yes better to move on" because there is a cooldown timer i would consider all options....heck make the timre six weeks for all i care!
It is relatively easy.
YOU ARE TAKING UP PRECIOUS SPACE THAT YOU DO NOT NEED.
That oughta do it.
I've paid just as much money to have a tribe location.. Why should a solo player in a multiplayer game be favoured over the others.. You are just solo. We are many many more.
Go play fekking WoW if you want to solo.. (that was meant as a.. Come on, grow up and stop complaining that a game for once do NOT favour solo players.)
