TC system
gr1m099:
Well before I get trolled and before somebody says they're ruining my game, I well say this thread is to voice your opinion and constructive criticism of the TC system.
I personally do not find this new town control system fun, what made it fun last season was having your faction name on top of the screen for the whole server to see in hopes another faction would show up to fight you, or vice versa. I am a PvP player I enjoy pvp the most in this game and have found this new system is not fun for pvp.
Right now its basically a race to get the most influence points, and to get these influence points it takes HOURS if not DAYS to get any with a small number of people. Before a 5 person faction could attempt to take the town and capture get a few rewards before it was lost. Now you need a swarm and to stand in a town for an hour or over 9,000 hours to get anywhere.
My experience so far with the TC system was standing in town and boring my faction members to tears and most just went afk with the computer on while sleeping in a place to hide. And that is what you basically have to do now to hold a town now, all people have to do is hide characters with half decent gear to take the town. Its completely boring there is no PvP involved, and not like it was last wipe 15 minutes of not getting killed by another faction.
So here is my suggestions:
Make influence points go up faster so casual players stand a chance.
When another faction stands in town the current faction holding town influences points go down in equal number.
For example for this suggestion is to make 50 influence points the max to obtain, if a faction has 50 influence points it well take 26 points minimum to capture the town and then the faction can decides to leave it at 26 make it easy to take the town get back or spend more time in town.
I think gaining influence points faster, and a more balanced system would make the game more fun and give a chance for multiple factions to hold a town and get rewards.
I mean right now the current system is so boring and so slow its not even worth the hours spent trying to capture the town. Its basically a competition who can bore the other factions to tears holding the town by getting massive influence points and making it take hours to take a town.

honestly, the biggest problem with new system is a human factor. there is no big waiting for action, really. try take one of sot towns - you will have fight in few minutes. ofcourse tc system needs somerework but seems there is no one to work on it (ghosthack is missing?) so only solution is - be patient and stop blaming, whining about new tc - start actually playing.

If you're just standing there and get bored, that's the problem. Influence should be received from doing something meaningful in the town or allowing players to come there and do something and protecting them.

I wasn't whining I was writing my opinion, experience and a few suggestions. Maybe because the only people who like and defend the town control system is the faction who controls all the towns? Which is your faction, if you would have done TC from my experience its boring as hell and its easily exploitable.
I wasn't blaming anybody I already know there is a lot of bugs and a lot of work around, and I give a suggestions as I think the TC system takes forever to get anywhere.
But of course SoT doesn't want any changes I mean after all soldiers of thunderstorm written under your name makes me wonder as to why you defend it.
And yes we get it you own all the towns you love it you're getting tons of loot from it and getting rich, but not everybody has it super easy and exploited the game to get everything in 1 day.
I do not take anything a SoT person has to say seriously about the TC system and defending it because you guys would be whining if something went against your favor.
The time well come when you guys lose your towns and start losing fights when people work their way up playing the game normal without exploiting it with 15 people in the first 2 days of the wipe :)

Nah the problem is the influence points is way too slow, and if you're not standing in the town you don't lose or gain anything. I think the way its suppose to work is the owning faction loses points while others take it but they don't lose the points when they are not in town. And attacking factions are suppose to PK people gathering to make the other team lose points in mining towns is the inpression I got.
Well also sure if you take an SoT town there is pvp, but this system is easily exploitable you could just hide characters and go afk anywhere in town for an entire day and get an ungodly amount of influence points and never enter the town again and make it impossible to take the town for others by boring them to tears having to stand in town for a long extensive periods of time. The issue is not PvP its the slow game mechanic which doesn't make it fun.
I mean this new system isn't small casual faction friendly, which was nice about the TC last wipe it only took 15 minutes to take a town if you could defend, and small factions could stand a chance and at least take the town for a small time period, get a few rewards, if a faction in bigger number didn't show up to kill them in the process.
Rascal:
nice butthurt xD
if u would understand "the written words" from topics about TC then u gonna know that SoT doesnt like current system and we pointed out I think every possible bug/possible improvement to be done in order to make it playable and good.
So my tip for u -> read that topic before posting any more nonsense like u did above.
