Or pay attention and dont let the enemy into your walls........We plan our kingdom like an onion, every layer has a wall protecting it. If you have proper defenses and someone is still able to get into the heart of your base then shouldn't you be at fault?

There are ways to counter base logging. If you can't fight a force that's already inside your base, you dont stand a chance in a siege anyways.

Couple of faults with these arguments.

The get good and don't let them in is a dumb argument. Are you online in LIF at 4am in the morning? 4am east coast is 1am west coast, so all I got to do is get all my west coast players to go and log ladder into your base and log off. Now I am in. I don't care how many layers you have, undefended walls are worthless regardless if you have 1 or 20. They won't keep someone from logging off in your base on off hours.

Walls are force multipliers, so yes, yes you can defeat a siege even if you couldn't beat the paratroopers inside the base, otherwise nobody in history and nobody in game would even use them.

If its not fixed it will simply be whoever declares war will be the ultimate victor, due to prepositioning paratroops inside someones base days before declaring war, waiting a short time before JH/ prime time hours or whatever to declare war so that all their buildings outside the town claim become vulnerable Roflstomping their unprepared defenses and burn their economy to the ground by destroying anything off the town claim. Then log off again, just drop in random times to keep them from rebuilding and wait till they rage quit, or you beat them in open field combat however many times because their economy can no longer keep up with yours.

Ya we had them pretty close to that to, but not alot and not enough to not lose the walls and watch everyone log off.

We logged off in your base after jumping the walls and killing you all. Stop lying to make this problem seem bigger than it really is. If you let people into your base the day before a siege, don't be suprised when they log into your base during the siege.

Although I can see this as a legitimate tactic for two equally sized guilds, it's clearly broken when considering the longevity of the game.

A guild trying to start, let's say, a couple months after Wave 2 could be (and will be) griefed endlessly while trying to get their base up. I don't think anyone can argue that having even ONE guy in plate with real weapons base logged in your monument area when you're still trying to set up would be fun or realistic.

Kill everyone on-claim, logout, repeat. I don't think anyone wants the combat to deteriorate to this.

All of us? As in the two of us that were on? Did you also kill "All" of the of the other guilds you used the same tactic on that same judgment hour that killed the server? Went from 40 people on at a time per day to 14. If that doesn't tell you what a game killer this will be, your an idiot.

You guys had close to 15 people for Judgement hour VS our 6 and you guys still had to resorted to shit tactics of paratrooping people in. You guys abused it and you didn't even need to multiple times. That tells me right there this is going to be the favored tactic of all the people in the game, which is just great in a medieval game.

I know I love games with space marines falling from the sky, but I think I will go play a game with that as a design feature and not a design flaw thank you very much

Usually you can test the fairness of something by turning it around.

What if the argument was that your character never logged out if you were on someone else's claim. Didn't matter how you lost connection, you just sat there.

It passes the realism test - how well can you hide? Are you Ninja? No? Then you get killed easily.

The fact is that logging out, or disconnecting gives you an easy way to protect yourself from being punished for your actions. Back in EvE, this was a favorite tactic of a lot of people. Hell, I did it myself. Bounce around from safe-spot to safe-spot if the gate was camped, or 'cloak up', until your timer went away.

There is no skill involved, its not realistic, and its open to massive abuse. It doesn't matter if its too hard to code against.

Bitbox needs to find a better way.

UPDATED: A case in point.

Totally agree with you Azzerhoden

[Fhoer]

I suggest a delay in enemy/neutral claims, or any claim were you dont have access rights

In neutral claims you stay locked in place for 15-30 seconds after fully login in...
In Hostile/At war claims the "chill time" goes up to 1-2 minute
And you cant log in if a siege is running

Tolerances / exceptions:
- if the server goes down for restart or crash
- the guy logs back in less than 10 minutes (for an eventual crash)
- there wasn't a claim where he logged off
- the claim isn't there anymore
- if you log out and log back during a siege event

The problem about login back in your house is the guy combat login.

And adding in this topic:
login out while under effect of fleeing should keep your char in game until the disabled status goes off times 3...
eg.: if got disabled for more 1 minute after running away and disconnecting, my char should stay in game for 3 minutes.
if i run like crazy and have 10 seconds, my char should stay for 30 seconds
