abusing the purge mechanic that contains golems in PVE, this is not the first time this has happened to me, but today they tried to destroy my building again and I decided to open this topic, luckily I made a building reinforced with more than one layer of blocks and I had significantly little damage to the building, but this must be happening to a lot of players and making them give up on the game.
It is.
Purge exploitation has always existed but with the onset of this method it has become very easy, too easy.
I’ve been spending some time on a PVE Official where a few players have been affected. Their bases are out in the open with ability to place the treasury close.
After reading on here the difficulties players have been experiencing I decided I wasn’t going to give exploiters a chance.
So I built in a permastructure that has 2 floors. My main base is on the second and only accessible via elevator. The base is further protected by the walls and roof of the perma and is about 4 foundations deep before core can be accessed.
Even if they wanted to waste time with ice bridging it would be time consuming and ineffective.
This build also alleviates the falling and getting stuck in foundations. I built the floor inches from the perma floor so there’s nothing to sink into.
My suggestions are to build in permastructures/caves that offer environmental protection, build pillar bases or in no purgable zones (usually places that it’s hard to place the treasury).
Maybe not the most ideal for some but coming from PVP I’m used to building with base defense in mind lol
I am happy to be among those privileged to know the difference between a cooperative mode and a competitive mode…
Now, being forced to play the same way, I no longer see the point of continuing to offer 2 types of server…
Technically 3 but ya…
Funcom probably knew that it could be exploited before it was even introduced; maybe they didn’t realize to what extent it would impact servers. But basic Q/A for them, no?
The community is also responsible to be fair and play by the rules. Those who choose to use this exploit should be just as much at fault as Funcom for allowing this to go on unchecked for what will be a year soon.
Hindsight is 20/20 though, especially when there should be better moderation, preventative measures and means of detecting who the culprits are. FLS being the joke it is, is only a means of quantifying their profit and not a benefit to us in any way.
Now with hacking having been left to do the damage it has to PC Official PVP, it’s spreading onto PVE-C and I’ve heard rumors of it being on PVE too; won’t be long until we start to see the infection there.
yes we will see for the moment let’s enjoy and maybe…
Agreed. In every game there are cowards who are afraid to play PvP but will abuse PvE mechanics as much as they can to grief other players.
I wouldn’t class it as cowardly. Opportunists with a chip on their shoulders probably. PVE is no stranger to toxicity lol
Purge exploitation is rare on PVP because it is not required and is too much of a chore. Waiting until raid time to use bombs, gods, trebs/ballista or exploits is a helluva lot easier.
What I mean is hacking is coming to PVE. Like I’ve said previously, it has been a calculated and planned endeavour to make PVP Officials dead.
Yeah, I played PVE-C for a long time in clan and with that I gained a lot of experience, mainly in building safe things and applying PVE in places that need it, but I’ve been on this PVE server that I mentioned since I started playing Conan, exactly 4 years ago. , and this place that was attacked is my warehouse, it is very well structured and even has traps xD, the abuser just broke some defenses around and in front of my pyramid trap xD, but this is not the first time that this has happened here in the my deposit, and changing location is unfeasible for me because there is a lot of loot in the location and it already took me a lot of work to organize item by item, now I have placed 4 sulfur and tar golems around and I will create a small archer post using Dina and Markhos, I believe it will resolve now.
Yeah, nowadays in PVE if you don’t have trickery you lose a lot in the game
This is really a problem, but you know that in all types of games there will be flaws, whether the company wants to fix it or not, to fix this would be simple, just remove the golems and meteor showers, resolved, in fact the old purge it was undoubtedly better than this new system, Funcom can put an end to this type of siege and return to the old purge, players who like the old format, in addition to controlling a lot of abusive players who build giant buildings, are afraid of the purge being born within its construction, thus making it smaller.
I appreciate the cataloguing! I am base Mom and I organize everything.
Having moved bases a fair bit in my time the quickest and easiest way is pulling bracelet > summoning corpse, so if you do decide to attempt it.
That would be an opinion not a fact.
If you see the amount of loot I have you’ll be discouraged from even removing the bracelet, I have 9 floors of loot all organized in cabinets, I’ll post a photo so you can get an idea of what I’m talking about.
I use Google Translate and it will write several words wrong, I hope you understood my point of view
I pray to Set that is on a private server
It’s just a 9-story building, all the same as the photo of the first floor, which only has loot, as I’ve been here for 4 years, it doesn’t contain decoration or abundant lighting, it’s just to hold my items.
@DeaconElie @Kikigirl
I’m also the type to throw out everything that does not give me an immediate advantage XD
Pray to Set that it’s nunya.
This one agrees with @Pipinghot .
There will always be trash that want the pleasure of griefing, but are too craven to keep it in PvP servers
No, for bullies, the pleasure isn’t victory, the pleasure is to make someone else miserable, specifically in a circumstance where their victim cannot meaningfully retaliate.
