Idea Very Good Idea Yes.

This should not be a discussion, mans really had 64 gapples on a survival pvp server.

 

You made an idea post to solve a problem caused by duplication.

Gapples would not be problematic if the gold economy wasn't inflated by gold farms and duplication. CalledRainer would be a phenomenal individual to work with to balance the gold economy, he is very knowledgeable. Pool would be a phenomenal individual to work with to prevent duplication glitches, he has found more glitches than any other player on the network.

For armor durability- not a bad concept. It accomplishes the same goal as simply removing recrafts, just in a different, less direct matter. You make it so that whoever hits more wins, since the opponents armor will break. Removing recrafts accomplishes the same goal, but instead of losing because your armor broke first, you lose because you had to soup more.

Hopefully dupe and gold farming isn't problematic in the future, because if it is, then these ideas might seriously need to be considered as a band aid fix for those issues.

 

duping and gold inflation is literally always going to be a thing though. there's no preventing nor stopping it.

 

You can remove gold farms, and then dupes are only solved through diligence and rapid response to issues. It is tough, you're right, but I dont think it will be as big of an issue next map.

 

Honestly the problem is that people have been saying since start of the map to put a gapple cooldown, after (5) months (?) still no cooldown has been added. There are clear problems which arent been fixed.

- Gapple cooldown
- Anchor cooldown or disable

also 1.16 is a big problem atm, it takes you whole map lenght to fix couple bugs/glitches, this is going to take couple years to get 1.16 to work even okay

 

A gapple cooldown might not be the solution, although at the same time it might.

Gold problems with dupes etc. have caused too many issues, and IMO it's not a good idea to make a decision like this until we can first try nerfing gold.

Once gold if nerfed and the inflation calms down, we can see if gapples are still an issue and of so, add the cooldown.

 

The gap issue won't exist ever again, if the advice I have proposed is taken. However, on the off chance that my advice isn't enough, then maybe we can have a talk about gap cooldowns. For now, more time invested should be rewarded, after all this isn't kitpvp.

I do not believe the people responsible are developers, therefore they wouldn't know how to fix it? I know that the bugs were revealed, so I'm not sure why you're trying to provoke a response from anyone here. No one wants a dupe in the game.

Quality discussion post nonetheless, but I think you should put the thought on pause until one month into next map. There is a good chance the issue resolves itself, but if it doesn't, definitely bump this thread.

 

I fail to see your point. I'm saying the latter won't be problematic next map (most likely) so I'm not quite sure what your point is. If gapples aren't a problem, then how can they be used too much? If there simply aren't enough gapples to do that, how can it still be a problem? I look forward to your reply.

 

Never said anything about how hard it is.

Youre using the current situation to promote your interest in abolishing gapples. Gaps are fine, and players who work hard to get enough gold should be able to use them. There won't be enough for it to be an issue, so there is no need for any sort of cooldown.

 

Agree to disagree.

I looked into it already, and I promise you it won't be an issue.

If xray inflation is really an issue, the Petworth mods need perms to track the gold down to solve that issue. But I doubt that, because ore alerts already get xrayers banned quite quickly.
