Does anyone know how to build a proper base without getting banned?
We reached a point where Funcom bans anyone that fence stack their base or where anyone makes landclaim to avoid getting their pillar base hit by a trebuchet.
How can a 4 man clan protect themself against a 10 man clan?
A 10 man clan can easily farm 300 bombs on their 2nd or 3 day of playing. Wich is enough to blow any base location.
Small groups of players dont stand a chance.
Today 4 clans got banned on our well populated official server.
1 for landclaiming and despawning blackice. (Totally understandable.
1 for blocking off the beastmaster. (Totally understandable)
2 clans for just having fence stacking inside their base. No landclaim or anything around it.
As someone that played alot (over 3k hours) with 0 bans. I cant understand why our playerbase gets hit like this when the majority of those players are players that play this game for years now.
Sure, ill get it when people with a undermesh did get banned. Or when they do more harmfull stuff.
I just dont get it that we ban veterans for something that everyone would do to build a proper baseā¦ (If its really about server resources, maybe changing the server isp less than 1 year ago wasnt a good decision.)
Maybe we dont need 100 empty servers, but maybe we need some better servers. (Shouldnt be that hard when alot of people bought reskins of dlcs. I personally bought the game physical and digital with all the dlcs.)
So Funcom, any ideas to a proper base without the need of having 6 other players in your clan? Might aswell help those that like to play the game solo.
i love this excuse hilarious. Anything is bad for server performance. Even the updated graphics they rolled out awhile back made the servers run worse.
40 players on the server is bad for performance. If you servers canāt handle ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā 40 people i think itās time to stop blaming āexcessive fish trapsā or āexcessive buildingā pretty obvious its a server issue.
Players abusing the direct connect and joining servers with higher ping than allowed makes the servers have increased lag i donāt see this getting fixed or even addressed but sure lets all jump on the fence stack bandwagon
I still think banning fence stacking was the wrong choice.
Could have been avoided by changing how explosions work.
But overdoing is is always bad, but I donāt think these changes will change much in the game, players will find something else to abuse. This is just PvPā¦ use and abuse everything to lead an edge over the other players.
Like i said, maybe they shouldnt have changed their server ISPs less than like 1 year ago.
On pvp servers fence stacking is a must for ground bases. If not, your base will crumble if a 10 man clan farms for 2 days.
Any clan with 1-6 players will get eaten alive by a 10 man clan at this point. All those choices makes it a game about numbers. Large clans wiping small clans. Till we reach a point that small clans dont see a reason to play the game anymore if they cant defend themself normally.
Thank you!
Exactly those āupgradedā graphics, that if you turn around everything is blurry. (Guess my ps5 is that old that it cant run a ps4 game. )
I warned alot of my members to be cautious with landclaim. Sure make a building, but dont claim to prevent others building like the rules say. But somehow it would never be enough to cover the failures of Funcom their servers.
Im still curious if Funcom plays the game themself. If so, they shouldnt mind to share a proper pvp base on any spot in exile lands or siptah that is not easy to raid and wich gets you not banned.
Exactly, their faillure on some subjects gets projected on their playerbase.
Lets put a trebuchet in the game, but also lets ban people that try to prevent getting trebuchet.
Lets make a base spot thats 10 by 10,but dont fence stack it or we ban you. Those 10 doors should get the enemy outside.
Go East past Heliograph. Thereās a tall rock with green wall at both ends. Build a big base up there. Encircle the rock with 3-4 layers of anticlimb. Protect the waters using the @Teng archer position method. Prosper and be happy.
3-4 layers of anti climb isnāt nearly enough lol that will take 10minutes to break with arrow raiding.
Youād have to layer the entire mountain with a build like foundation all the way down off every other foundation you put a ramp then a wall hanging infront of the ramp to protect the ramp. Put a hatch ontop of the ramp, then put the cren fence on top of the ramp. That way you can repair all the way down if needed and repair every foundation supporting your base.
Then ontop of thatā¦ if youāre not claiming the other pillars around so you canāt be trebbed I meanā¦
Unless the raiding mechanics are changed in this game you have to build big itās just incredibly unfortunate the devs of the game donāt even play pvp servers so they donāt even understand their own game lol. Then you get funcom wiped cos hurdur base to big 2 much lag on our awful quality servers.
And if an active clan let that happen, they should be ashamed. Thereās Heliograph, and two minor islands plus this one. A 4-man clan could easily own all of that.
Alternatively, build in the highest (or lowest) spot in the Volcano, make your life miserable. OPās looking for a way to defend, and enjoy the game.
I starting to rethink the FC strategies on their fence stacking stance. Look we all know where the premium real estate spots are. You got crevice, you got the bunker at great dam, you got the ice cave, you got the Apex spotsā¦but all of them require the stacking methods to be premiumā¦else they are death traps because they dont have viable escape routes. Is it possible that removing this stacking method is a means to promote leaving the ābest spotsā and get people to build elsewhere?
and you donāt think if they got reported funcom wouldnāt wipe that cos them spamming land claim lol. Building over 4 different pillars would 100% get your base funcom wiped, how do I know? because a clan I joined was built there and their base got wiped from funcom and we all received 2 week bans.
If funcom stopped listening to bad players weād still have food healing or at the very least ambrosia healing, animation cancelling and stacking fences wouldnāt be getting removed. Game would be so much better.
@Barnes All it takes is you to get mass reported by 1 clan and your base will get funcom wiped if youāre claiming 4 pillars lol.
Can you imagine having all these unique food recipes in game but theyāre all irrelevant.
Can you also imagine having your base developer wiped because said devs cheaped out on servers.
I canāt even think of a company that would get such poor quality servers then blame their own player base for bad server performance then dev wipe peoples bases and also ban them.
