started making a base, with 10 gear score, a 17 gear scored walked up was EASILY smoking him til his 2 buddies came and killed me and destroyed my residence. went to someones home, they invited me in, waved at them and they murdered me for my wood. went traveling down a road, said hi to the local bandit camp avoided a bear, a 4 man group hunted me down. Fun game thus far. Also Git if you're reading this for some reason it was nice meeting you, very friendly person! :)
All together your castle dissolving method made for a absolutely fantastic way to get an avid player of the game to go from loving it to absolutely despising the game. If you want a game that will have you put 78 hours in, then if you forget to log in for a week delete almost all progress well this is the game for you! let me tell you, putting in HOURS AND HOURS OF MY LIFE into a game that then smashes everything and deletes all your followers, your treasures, your gathered materials, everything except what you are carrying on your back at the time of death is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for the waste of time that you have given me. I used to love it. now HATE IT. devs you are truly evil people who love watching peoples hard earned efforts go to waste. everything that i meticulously gathered went to shit because of getting called for jury duty. With all due respect (which is very little mind you) sod off.
V Rising is a FANTASTIC game with a lot to do and a lot of fun to be had. There is one mechanic that makes me rate this game poorly. My group got to the end game and were gearing up to go grab the three soul stones. We had a beautiful base with lots of materials and all types of gear and servants. When we logged in the next day, someone had built their base overnight to completely block off the entrance to our own base. Since you can't teleport or use bat form with resources, you have to go on foot. So because our base's entrance was blocked off, we could no longer get into our base.
We built a new location so we could make the siege golem and the castle keys so we could destroy that person's walls and get back to our own base. After fighting the other team, we successfully breached the castle after breaking through countless 1x1 rooms set up to block us from the heart. We accessed the heart and were told that hostile actions may only be taken against hearts in decay. That meant that we had to squat on their base and protect it from them for a week before it would go into decay. We were on a partial PvP server, because full loot PvP is a bit insane for my play style. We didn't read the fine print, and we got totally duped. I can imagine that this is a problem for PvE players as well.
Individual servers have the option to change that, but it is a default setting. This is such a game-breaking flaw because it allowed people to grief and it completely protected them. It truly ruined the whole experience for my entire group. How would we know to look for such an obscure setting if we are just starting the game? It was an official server, so it really felt like the devs slapped us in the face by making standard settings protect griefing. There were keys made specifically to destroy or take over someone's base, so why make those items obsolete on official servers?
I really did love this game and I spent so much time on it every day since it released, but I just can't get behind something like this. We were duped because we didn't choose full loot PvP.
In official PvE servers players are able to entirely block off sections of the map from being accessible with their castles. If I was feeling petty or just being thoughtless, I could surround someone's castle and never let them leave, and there's not a thing the devs have done to stop this. From what I saw when I looked it up, their response is that it's 'legal'.
In my case my late game castle is now entirely inaccessible along with everything my friends and I have worked to collect and create. I can't teleport any of the items that are there out, so it's all useless, and I can't bring any new items in. I can't even break it all down and move it. There's no recourse, and that's the kind of frustration that makes me leave my first negative review ever. It's the kind of experience where I'm forced to quit not because I don't want to play but because I can't play any more.
Should the devs fix this, I think the game's a blast. Perhaps some sort of 'you can't put a foundation here, as this would block all paths to X area' system in PvE servers?
