to implement something that later turns out to be exploitable is something different than implementing such a feature with the knowledge that you did not add checks / restrictions and give out a tool for trolls and I’m only resisting the statement that it’s a simple change.
from the inital post:
if you did it right it’s far from a simple change.
the exploitable / trolling aspect is also mentioned by the devs in one of the last dev streams. this is not the first time this feature request hits this forum or the dev streams.
ignoring official servers and the current state of this servers (no gamemasters, no real rules) when adding a feature makes literaly not sense.
it’s not an excuse. the current server setup from the devs is like it is and they have to take the official servers into account for all the stuff they implement like they have to take into account that the game also is available for consoles. as a modder I can ignore consoles and official servers and can add what ever I want to add and the players / server admins can pick which ever mod they want.
dev stream sourece:
Twitch Comment: Can we possibly get a feature on note items to make them placeable anywhere, so people can leave messages on other people’s bases?
Robert: I would love to do that, but I can see some opportunity to grief here by placing notes all over someones house, and so probably not.
