I really like the option of construct trenches, sandbags and different kind of structures in order to keep a deffence territory. Are we going to see this as a feature?
In short, No In long; Player constructable base defences were something they considered as to allow groups to fortify and solidify a position against enemy incursion. However they found that the problems it caused for the server would be detrimental to the play experience and heavily scaled it back just to certain structures, like gates, to be destroyable. The optional constructs you suggest would create the same problem of the base defences. It would create hundreds or thousands of more objects for the server to track and given they want to have 500+ battles having that extra load on the server is unfeasible.
Limit of 1 per person, 500 person fight = 500 trenches and they want more than a 500 person fight. It is a simplistic example but as I mentioned with the base defences, they looked at it and obviously could not figure a way that wouldn't make it an unbearable load for the server.
No, but some things may be put in, like if we ever get imps, they may be able to set up a sandbag wall at the cost of RP, but this does strain the server, so maybe not.
I think that they can put permanent trenches or sandbags around the map. I mean, they talk about the coverage but if you don't have any coverage structure how are we going to use that coverage?
I'd be surprised if they didn't, sandbags are a fairly basic cover in a trench warfare situation and iirc they wanted to have some trench warfare in-game. I am just saying that they won't be player constructed.
If you really want to build defenses that much, go play a World War II simulator and have fun digging trenches. Most people don't seem to understand that a lot of things will not even be considered for implementation because they need to work about making the game playable for all customers which means you have to think about those people who have really bad computers (lowest end possible) for the games minimum requirements. Then from there they need to develop a full package to make it fun for those people. All of us who have at least medium tier or higher end computers wouldn't really have to worry about this but we are basically the last ones to get requests filled if at all because if the entire community can't benefit properly from it, no one will. With that said, the game is still in Alpha and this server technology is relatively untested with a longer history so after beta and perhaps even as far as launch, it might become feasible to add a scaled down version of player implemented mechanics.
Kinda off topic, maybe it has been in the livestreams (which i cant watch cause im at work during them) or in other threads, but has there been anything about crouching/hiding behind cover? just curious
