bathroomrage posted:Lots of people don't seem to realize that the reason goons are 'so much better' than pubbies in most of these games is that goons usually communicate and work together to a certain extent. Plus the useful spergs who dissect the game until they understand it better than the developers, then explain it to the rest of us. We seem to be a bit short on those guys this time 'round.

I can think of a bunch of games where goons work together well and have lots of fun without to much drama but I don't think many of those groups started with the plan of "Give everything you earn to this 1 guy, trust us". How do the EVE goons handle this stuff?

I was under the impression that ArcheAge is a game where if you just work together and have enough CC you can kill anyone because 90% of the game is landing CC so all the spergs probably burnt out and had an existential crises when they realized all the number crunching in the world couldn't outdo a

Digital Fingers posted:Goons are just pubbies who gave lowtax 10$. We're not masons or blood brothers or w/e and Games and LP is the biggest source of new members for the forums. Actually the real problem is when you run headfirst into the big question: what would goonunism accomplish that isn't just as easily accomplished with everyone keeping their own packs? The major problem seems to be goons don't have enough gear, and "funneling all the money to one guy so he can maybe buy gear for them if he doesn't goonfuck" is a very bad idea compared to the much simpler "people keep their money and spend it on gear". Also goons don't build things, we take them and destroy them. Why the plan was ever to build our own castle instead of take someone else's is beyond me.

We had piles of new players who went royal guard and just pulled people off of horses and beggars to get them all drunk so they couldn't fight back, then we stole all their books and made everyone in the game hate us.

A bit of luck, trial and error, and pubbies from eve becoming goons. (see dbrb)

Sometimes getting something to fewer people is more beneficial than everyone getting it at the same time later, but we're well past the point where it matters. Also a not insignificant amount of the castle materials were from scamming pubbies or something

I lost interest in goons building a castle around the time that I saw it was planned to protect some other guild and let them get a castle before we got ours. Also when there was talks of goons getting multiple castles. Both were atrocious ideas.

Eve has some pretty sophisticated guild ("corporation") mechanics, allowing for communal assets and fine-grained control over who has access to those. Guilds in Archeage are not much more than a glorified IRC channel. I guess you could have a family for the guild management, with the guild bank being a property set to family-only access, but that's still not much better than "give everything to this one guy", since any member of that family could still steal it all.

Group up and gently caress poo poo up until we had a solid voice, and that solid voice should be "continue to gently caress poo poo up."

I've seen predictions about how long it'll take for the first guild to get a castle, ranging from 90 minutes to as much as 8 hours if all anyone does is fight each other. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. If it goes much past 5pm PST I probably won't get any land up there since I have to sleep for work. My struggle

My struggle It's going to be a chaotic mass of reds and greens, with purple goons in the middle. If I don't see a goon going to jail every 5 minutes, they're doing something wrong.

The main issue with our taking a castle from someone else is we have a dearth of mages in the guild. We need to have at least 50 people with maxed out Sorcery/Occultism + heroic cloth/plate in order to have a shot at winning sieges. AoE CC & Damage wins sieges. We can get there eventually, but for now I don't think we should even worry about trying to do sieges and just roam around having our fun by annoying pubbies.

We can get there eventually, but for now I don't think we should even worry about trying to do sieges and just roam around having our fun by annoying pubbies. We may have a lack of mages, but once people get to 50 it isn't really that difficult to skill up other trees or even go archemaster just with crafting or whatever. We have at least 6 weeks before we can even attempt a seige, which is more than enough time for everyone currently active to get whatever skills they want. Gear could be more of a problem. All the archers likely have leather, and leather is the least-good armor for mages. Still, with a bunch of 50s it shouldn't be hard to get at least GHA gear and Hasla weapons for every class you care to take.
