Let Guilds Build "Defensive" Structures

[SpectreTheFox]

I would love to convert my clan into a guild, but unfortunately it would completely ruin my build that I spent nearly a hundred hours on. I didn’t even add defensive structures to defend, I added them for aesthetic. Walls and towers are a HUGE part of almost every build, it’s hard to make something cool without them.

I think guilds should be able to place defensive structures, but they should lose their functionality and they should also be easily destructible so that they can’t block off exploring players.

The one thing keeping me from converting to a guild and having a lovely time with PvP off is this. I just can’t bring myself to sacrifice my island

Shale Reef Megabuild (704 Structures) - Silver Roost

To preface this post, I would like to thank the people who made it possible. @Forty-Eight Thank you for creating Shale Reef in the first place. I couldn’t have possibly asked for a better foundation for a build like this! It was perfect for everything I wanted to do, and I had an absolute blast working with it. I’m super hyped to see what islands you’re gonna bring us in Full Release @Tobi Thank you for designing the keeps, walls, towers, gates, and anything else I may be missi…

I’ve heard other people express similar sentiments and I hope the community will be listened to. Guild builds will just be boring without walls. We have few enough options for decoration as is.

as long as you can hop the walls and the cannons don’t fire sure

Omg you made silver roost ??? I must say I’m a fan. Not sure if he was the one to come up with this first but I whole heartedly agree with bluefighter in that removing the invisible walls would be a great start, and I believe that if we just add the possibility for guilds gates to be opened by everyone, there really wouldn’t be a problem with giving them the possibility to build walls (we’ll all got that Trump in us)

@fartman1314

i think walls should be available but they shouldn’t have that invisible barrier above them

You know what’d be nice. If Guilds can still build stuff like cannons and mortars (it’d be nice for the cosmetics either way), but it doesn’t target players. Instead, Guild bases can randomly be attacked by NPC raids, like pirates or the local kingdom’s navy. Mostly pirates until the Guild base gets sufficiently large, which is when it gets attention from larger organizations.

I like that, but also let’s maybe first start with the easy changes and only then look at the features they could bring about

I forgot but can clans fight over islands claimed by guilds?

[Charlie_Turnip]

oh nvm, I can’t read, no they can’t

[2how_nim]

since when vetex likes aesthetic features

(low quality ragebait pls vetex reply me)

[Pipe]

guess what

[mari]

Father is feeding us well

[TheoreticalExistence]

hear me out, the walls and cannons should still hold purpose but only against NPCs.
This opens up an opportunity for vetex to add island raids in the future.

oh wait shit it already happened lol…

[SpectreTheFox]

WOOHOO YEAHHHH!!!

I do hope walls have decreased durability when loaded in by a guild as well, that way explorers can easily break through if someone decides to build an intrusive structure that blocks off entrances or the such. Would also be nice if anyone could open the gates.

I don’t think you’ll be able to damage them at all, I mean that wouldn’t make much sense. Scaling cliffs has never been a problem though so I don’t see why it’d start now

especially considering we’re getting climbing gear
