Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) The new locking system forces us to have keys, i can see that being good against griefing, but allow us to place locks on carts/wagons/boats (anything you DONT need a key to open) without needing the key for that lock. Provided you own said boat/cart/wagon. Edited June 17, 2014 by watkins141 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 The other problem was that new players find random locks and uses those. They then put locks on vessels they don't actual own and lock themselves from their stuff. Or put on containers like chest thinking they work like the vessels. But yes, I had bunch of locks made and I got rid of the keys. I'm stuck with them now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 Picking a boat and not being able to transfer ownership and throwing the lock back on sucks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Provided you own said boat/cart/wagon. Do I remember wrong when i think that taking a boat across the epic server boarder transfers ownership to the captain? But yea pve or pvp +1 to cart/boat/wagon locks with no key (still pick-able ofc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2014 Make all locked items work like vehicles, + add a writ permission system for them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) It would be a better system if keys were logical rather than physical. Rather than have a key with copies just put a writ type system on all locks same as mine doors, houses etc. Conceptually you're giving each person a key. Yes it's less real but eh. I go out of my way to avoid locking things with key'ed locks if I can. After collecting dozens and dozens of them over the years I have a hard time remember what I even meant by the renamed name sometimes. edit: Bah beat me to it Edited June 17, 2014 by belthize 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple solution - the prevention stays until 24 hrs ingame time, then remove the garbage so people grinding lockpicking aren't hassled by it, same for stealing enemy boats 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2014 I have a chest on my "vault" building which has 2 things, keys and gems. Half the keys don't have locks (from destroyed gates and such), but i still keep them xp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2014 I'd also like to see boats carts and wagons get a guest system like houses - I sometimes have 2-3 carts and I either have to lock every town mate and friend off it or everyone use it specially when its meant to be a surprise 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2014 I would love to see vehicles get a writ-style permission system. I would much rather give access to a ship by name than entire social group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
