Are contested totems the best way for land control

[NorCalGooey]

I meant if the game was fully working everything implemented kick ass combat system...but everything capture able, there still wouldn't be a chance of anyone playing. Unless it was tribe of 500 players vs tribe of 500 players but in a system like that it's inevitable that mega tribes own the game but no one wants to be forced into a huge tribe or to go live on hermit hill...some people like the middle ground

Why play the SIMS? If i want to design a house I'll use CAD software.

And back to the totem thing, I shouldn't have to make this game my whole life just so I can keep my invested hours from going down the drain...(aka play round the clock and have a large tribe just to protect the totem from losing everyone in the tribes invested time)

that is turning the game from play to work

I don't remember electing you to speak on our (my) behalf. Some of us would like nothing more, that's why we're here.

[NorCalGooey]

hardly anyone would want that.

you're dreaming if you think they're will be an unlimited number of captureable totems for one tribe.

okay. so i guess you are someone. sorry for hurtings your feelings.

there wouldn't be a chance of very many people playing, which in itself kills the fun. if there as 10,000 players running around xsyon even in it's current state everyone would be a lot damn happier about the unimplemented features and broken gameplay

Absolutely agree. Force a wargame on people and you will get empty server. But Jordi already said he won't force us into it, so why these worries...

Funny how things change... Isn't the server empty now?

Its not. Right now I'm chatting with 6 other people in hearing range.

Thanks for proving my point! Anyway, you may find things need to change to make this game viable.

With that I totally agree. Just not with things which would make it worse. But I hope they will find a proper solution.

I'm sorry Jadzia, but the way you want this game will surely kill. You know why there's only 6 people in your area? Becuase there is no point to anything. The game isn't balanced at all. What people like myself are suggesting are ways to balance the game and have it cater to many different playing styles.

I'll agree with you that having the entire game world conquerable would be a bad idea; but this game has NO CONTENT. Nothing to do that has any challenge.

[NorCalGooey]

Yup and adding warfare and conquerable land is one of those changes. But not all land conquerable. I still don't see much of a point to that though if the combat system (twitch and spam) isn't any fun.
