Militia, once again

<< < (9/14) > >>

Heckler Spray:
So, maybe you should take a town but let it without militia and wait to see what will happen...
The problem is, PKs often come to ungarded cities because they're looking for defenseless people to kill, but people won't visit ungarded towns if they don't have to (for now, the only reason is HQ minerals and uranium, and it takes about 2 mins to dig it), and if it's too risky.
So, no "ordinary" player in Northern towns = no PK.
These towns will stay PvP battlefields for Big Factions, and it seems everybody is bored with this system.
That's why militia, even if it's bugged, unbalanced... is needed for gangs, especially the ones who want people to come back in the North, to bring more players. And because it's not possible for 2 or 3 guys (you know, no one can play 24h/24) to defend a town against a big gang, militia is necessary.
If you want action, you need to have more players. Ordinary players, who will feel a little more safer (they would know that some good guys were protecting the place), will visit ungarded towns, PKs will try to strike them (cause they would know the town is not completely safe), and protectors will stop them.
Yeah, I know it sounds a bit optimistic, but it used to work that way in Den, when we were guarding this town...

I dont want defending whole city for god ! Just forget on Town Controlling. I just want fight with 2-3 mens in town against more enemies. Like in past. In past it was possible, why not now ? Beacuse some militia ?

They are just pain in ass for me. I dont want them, even if i am Anti PK. They are not necessary for my job.

Badger:
I'm coming at this from the other side of the coin. I'm a delicate flower from The South, and I cannot think of the last time I visited a northern town that wasn't Vault City. Simply put, there's no reason to. Besides HQ Minerals, as Mister Spray pointed out, what's the point? Even if the town is "protected" by "Anti-PK" you're still incredibly more likely to get your face shot off. The TC system is a clunky old clusterfuck that most people don't really take part in. It's time to put the old girl down.

These things have several advantages over TC - Being away from populated areas, Controlling numbers so its not just a race to see who can have the most people online, etc ... so hopefully its easier to get right and they won't need to be remade many times.

I believe, deep in my brain's heart, this the way PvP has to evolve in FOnline. I would go as far as to suggest that this should replace TC entirely: the northern towns become guarded, and player gangs can fight with/against NPC factions as part of Domination. Then we've got a reason for 'Ordinary' players to go to the north, a more balanced PvP system, players fighting in maps actually designed for PvP, more people taking part in PvP, and fights where both sides have a chance of winning.

But if you can fight all day long with free stuff in Domination what is the use of crafting ? People will gather a lot of high tier stuff for what ?

Solar:
Domination won't be free stuff. It will be the stuff you bring with you, but controlled numbers.
