How can we help you now:
=> The Metropolis Tower core was indestructible. We fought TAW, F_U, and 3SC for HOUUURRRRRSSSSSSSS. We went through tons of resources and all for nothing. The core couldnât be destroyed, so no one couldâve taken it, or won the event when it was all said and done. I would like to properly get access to the planet, since we were there couldnât do it. This was all the stuff that I had taken from everyoneâs backpacks while fending off the tower during the event:
You can find all this stuff in the Personal Locker in the bathrooms at the top of the elevator shaft. @Rex some said they thought you had fixed the event and told me to post this so you were aware that itâs still not working. I donât know how we can get compensated for all that was lost. We were going to get the RP, gold, and mine all the resources.
You cant claim you were the winners just because you were about to core due the the fact we had a guy sitting there trying to core it before you did. So if you get compensated so do we
Now when you say âtrying to core itâ do you mean trying to destroy the core, or place one down? Ozi and I were there trying to destroy the core and it was indestructible. You guys werenât near the tower core, so you couldnât have destroy it and placed a new core down because you were denied access to the tower.
I just remembered that EVERY SINGLE TIME Iâve done that mission, there has been some technical difficulty with it preventing us from 1) doing the mission or 2) getting the reward(s) from the mission. There hasnât been one single time that that mission has gone without hiccup. Either itâs the dirt, the core, winning the event, but still get kicked out of the planet⌠You name it, thereâs always something that makes all your hard not pay off in some way or the other. I hate to sound like Iâm whining. Itâs just super frustrating to participate in all these events if they donât work the way theyâre intended.
8.6 You are NOT allowed to build / spawn / fly your structures inside of asteroids or inside POIs (within the bounding box).
TAW/F_U/3SC were controlling the outsides of the tower, the only thing that prevented us from getting the core is several armed hvs inside.
Maybe some more feedback on Eton is to be had, RexXxuS!
So, itâs totally possible (and legal???) to run into the Metropolis with a SV with nothing but blocks and enough to get you to the door, walk in, spawn some HVs into the Metropolis, and sit there to deny other people winning the event.
Youâll get some backpacks (as seen here), but also deny yourself getting the event because unless you get out to properly take the Metropolis, you can be denied exit from your tower, just as anyone else can be denied entry.
Itâs been won plenty of times, even with âcheesyâ tactics (Not meaning they werenât fun to play against), so the thing works, itâs just that the tactic used meant that noone gets it because noone gets into the POIs to finish, and noone gets out, either.
Really, itâs the tactic you folks chose. Fortify the inside and naturally your opposition will make sure youâre stuck there. That results in a stalemate and noone âwinsâ the event.
Not much fun, if you ask me, as far as the event goes, but the PvP outside was alright.
If I could by design prevent someone from using a cheese tactic here, Iâd say make the doors unlock as the levers are pulled, and for the sake of us all put a land claim on that thing.
Maybe have some switches on the outside towers that destroys a land claim and opens the doors for the center tower? This way it would prevent people from just crash landing a sv and running inside.
The HWS Metropolis is probably one of the biggest challenge so far.
Almost every day ~20 players doing PvP around it.
I always dreamed of it and now, after ~5 months itâs finally happening
But I couldnât know all the tricks you have prepared for me
So, alright, I donât know why the core was indestructible @Heli_Professor but technically absolute not possible.
I have one assumption but donât want to investigate too much time in it now.
Itâs a work in progress process and I reworked the HWS Metropolis once again to prevent the indestructible core issue and added a Land Claim Device to the big HWS Metropolis Tower.
That means though that the whole planet is now affected by the Land Claim Device setting.
Shouldnât change that much except cheesy tactics.
Initially I turned off Anti Grief completely because I invited you to drill under neath the Metropolis POI. Since this was too cheesy as well over time, the Land Claim Device should only add positive gameplay than bad now.
A fair battleground for everyone.
The Land Claim Device can only be destroyed, once you captured the Metropolis.
100% SV + HV + First Person Shooter is waiting for you now.
I donât get the relevance of a land claim device in the tower whatsoever. You canât dig on the planet to begin with. The planet is literally indestructible in all aspects until 6 hours after a faction has won the event. Does a land claim device do something else besides prevent people from digging in a given area around it?
@RexXxuS are you saying that it is not possible for the core to be destroyed? It surely wasnât taking any damage last night when we were there shooting it with every type of weapon we had on us.
The core spawned with 598/600 hitpoints, hence it was destructible. But something or someone has repaired it back to 600/600 which makes it indestructible againâŚ
@Event
Unfortunately the Land Claim Device idea does not work
There is a bug that even though I have set âDefaultâ or âLand Claim Deviceâ in the playfield.yaml, that the game still requires a âRegenerateâ for that POI.
But âregenerateâ means, you canât place a block or change the structures anymore.
So we stick with âNo Anti Griefâ for Eton and the rule âDonât spawn stuff inside POIsâ.
