Posted December 19, 2016 After the archery training nerf on same target for more than 10 minutes I've decided to try and go out and train it regularly on my server (Elevation). The only problem I am having is that I cannot see any creatures, nor recover my arrows after I do find something to shoot simply because there are too many trees. Too many trees, not enough players to manage them. My suggestion (with help from a friend) is to add forest fires to the game. These can be caused by lightning strikes, or something, and it burns down lets say, a 5x5 area? This should only be able to occur at least 50 tiles from deeds to prevent any grief. These should be able to happen regularly, as if you spent more than 10 minutes on Elevation you'll realize its literally nothing but trees at the moment. We need a way to counter the growth (expecting 5 people to take care of an entire server is nonsensical). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) +1 the tree's are taking over Seasonal likelihood would be good, high chance in summer months, nil or extremely low chance in winter Edited December 19, 2016 by Bart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2016 Anyone who has been in xan knows there are too many trees. Would love if tree plague wiped a few thousand out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 19, 2016 Another bad idea to assist the tree killers. Move to the PvE servers and soon enough Rifts will indiscriminately kill off all (almost) the trees in a random area and then move on to the next spot leaving more devastation behind. Otherwise, if you find them to be a nuisance simply chop them down and leave another ugly barren area behind to add to the mess. =Ayes= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 20, 2016 New Libilla spell - Rotting Sphere Cast at a tile. All trees/bushes in 20 tile radius around this tile start to rot rapidly, turning into ashes in few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
