Homesteads, like a plague of locusts

[galagah]

It's getting to be ridiculous, with single homesteads spread all over the map blocking huge zones of land from tribal use.

You do know that a lot of players are jsut messing with totems instead of reforming their tribes after every wipe etc ?

Exactly. Homesteads are a problem. One homestead can block a tribe for 280m in every direction. I have a couple solutions to this. A. Designate areas for tribe use/ homestead use only. As well as shared areas. B. Allow tribes to overlap a homesteads land C. Dont allow homesteads to be placed for the first few hours of game time. D. Allow totems to be destroyed, even if the people inside are in a safe zone.

Let me see :-

A) No , because all you would get is a headache for the devs from people " crying " cause their spot is reserved for a homestead when they wanted ot place a tribe , and vice versa .

Get to the spot first is a simple solution

B) No , Why should Tribe land overlap homesteads ? , if that's allowed , then Homesteads should be able to come in and plant in the middle of your tribal zone and be safe .

C) No , everyone should have the same rights to place at the very start of the game , Everyone paid the same amount to play .

D) Again No , because a tribe / homesteader can NOT be only 24/7 to stop the totem being destroyed .

I agree, there was a homestead about 200m away, and we couldn't place our tribe totem because of it.

Homestead only have a radius of 50m. My current homestead sits right on the border of the edge of anothers homestead. As in the minute i leave my land I enter his. Homesteads do not block land up to 280m or 200m for that matter.

Key words are homestead/homestead. Im talking about homestead/tribe. When you plant a tribe totem, you HAVE to have the radius of 250m clear from any other claimed land. Because that is the maximum, and it has to be reserved.

Right, it's that hard to form your 5 members on the run .. of course , i forgot that things like " voice comms " don't exist at all .

You do know that you can " click " things on the run , and type in tribe name etc , you don't " have to stand like a cabbage " at the start .......

Oh , and if i feel like joining in i will thanks .

Your basically trying to just give Tribes all the advantages , your idea was not making it fair to all by a long shot .

Oh, and yes that 1 person does have the same rights . Your 5 are " Choosing " to group together , no-one is making them .

Yes! I do want to give tribes advantages. Want to know why? They have multitudes of more people than any homestead will ever have. They pay more money, as a whole, and usually pay longer than any solo player ever does. There are no NPCs, no pre-made towns, no nothing, and its all up to TRIBES to rebuild this world. So, you entitle yourself with "same rights" but while most tribes are creating cities for people to live in, youre going to be up in the mountains crying that you dont have the land for your cows to roam on.

and how is that the homesteads fault??

You imply totems have a mind of their own. Well, the devs decide how the totems behave, and the devs wont change anything when solo players cry that it IS fair and the likes.

So...I fail to see an issue here. If some one places before another, what gives the late ones the right to the land? just because they are a tribe? That doesn't make sense and sounds very selfish.

And you dont think its selfish that a solo player can claim land in an instant, all alone, and block tribes for such a large area? Pot calling the kettle black...

No not at all you were complaining that homesteads block tribes because u have to leave 250 or whatever radius as reserve for your tribe to grow. Well, if thats a problem why dont you campaign on here to remove the reserved land for tribes future use and maybe you should only expand into new land when new members arrive and not have it reserved? It doesnt make sense that you would argue for less rights for homesteads based on what you said.

[FabricSoftener]

just harvest the land anyway, whats the worst that can happen? loose a good alignment? oh my!

[Probein]

Didn't I read somewhere that they will be making single-player homesteads attackable/unsafe in future while Tribe homesteads will be safe?

No, I don't think any dev would want put a nail in the Xsyon coffin by singling out 1 playstyle like that.
