I can see it as a placeholder actually.... meaning it can secure gaps in current areas of influence until guard towers are able to be placed as a more permanent solution, and if enemy places these placeholders in your area they're easy to smash down anyway.

+1 I don't need these stinkin unfinished towers

enemy controlled influence means crap now. you get no influence from deeds other than the deed itself basically so that means nothing. Bash one tower and there you go free spot to build your tower.

Remove the influence update +1

Yep. We can all ask Rolf to revert this change. But I doubt it will happen because of a few people wanting player made kingdoms >.> That also means no one take advantage of this until it's reverted if it will be, but we know this will be exploited on all sides so no need to troll that.

Which is another MAJOR game changing update that some/many people do not want, but I guess we'll have to deal w/ it like every other update

Revert back to the old system please. All the hard work, time and dedication spent towards making kingdom advances on all sides was for naught. If I can just go anywhere I please and plant a tower, then what the hell is the point of war deeds. There is no point, anyone can just plant towers and bash opposing towers where there is no defense and just push their kingdom influence in. People will be spread out all over the map making towers, bashing towers, and defending towers, it will just be total anarchy.

I'm not for player made kingdoms personally, and that itself is a HUGE change to wild just to have grief alts as an excuse why....

all the way home

I'd go with bad luck. Wurm is a game of chance IMO, the % means bull feces. On my alt with 10 cloth tailoring I needed to make 2 sheets to finish a bed, took me 3 tries to make 2 sheets, so only 1 failure there. Obviously not a high % at all to make sheets but I didn't fail much, so yep, good luck or bad luck, that's wurm.

No, the I'm better than you attitude doesn't prove you know what Rolf should do with his game. Weren't we all noobs at one time? Does the lack of fancy tags mean we don't know what to suggest properly ??? ??? ???

Now that's a better thought, x amount of deaths in x amount of time and you lose your noob tools. Less than that you keep your noob tools. I can live with this.

Imagine if they can't get new tools, how can they make new tools without tools? Can't make kindling, can't start a fire, etc... Either way the point is there's no need to create further problems down the road just because of some griefers. There needs to be a solution to stop this without messing anything else up.

It's not hard to explain, changing noob tools to droppable on the wild server is a BAD idea. A noob comes to wild, ventures off to start somewhere, dies to a spider or something, and now he/she has no tools. Yea they can just join a village and ask for or work for tools, and then leave to go start off somewhere else since they want to make their own village, but then... they die again and wham, no tools again. It's a major inconvenience to have all because of a few morons griefing roads.

This, I can go for this way it *can* be solved without pulling the leaders from where they need to be like said. And honestly I didn't know how many people came down to chase, I know I spent many hours myself, and later on with others. Personally I'm sure those of us that did chase would love to waste our own time on this matter and if anything have our chancellor the ability to remotely deal with this via methods we just said and not have him waste his time because one or two people decided to have "fun". Then if all else fails, your idea. I mean after all, they can't do this infinitely.

It seems as a whole it is not something that everyone can agree on, and like mentioned, on the MR side we'd be drawing Horton away from actual pvp where it matters. If the kingdom leaders can do this without having to be at the starter town or where ever it is they are needed and still work with others to banish someone from the kingdom maybe by some form of method using /vote, then I'd be for it. Basically, to solve the issue quickly and efficiently without causing any issues elsewhere.

Only way to deal with this right now is just suck it up and say f' it. We shouldn't be looking to punish new players or dedicated players by making noob tools no drop or limited respawns or whatever. Giving kingdom leaders the sole ability to make someone an outlaw does not seem viable, and giving kingdom leaders with a group of others the ability to set outlaw status doesn't seem viable either. Just set em kos at your own deeds and that's it. It's sad that some people have to deal with the frustrations these morons give us, but coming from me, who spent a day chasing the grief alts around, the only real input I can give to the situation to solve this problem is, deal with it and kill them and their mains as given the options to do so.
