Housing Storage Chests and Thieves (?)

[Chimm]

The tooltip for the "Hewn Log Storage Chest" says: ".. it won't keep out any thieves".

So I tried to check how this works and went into some homes with this storage chest. But I wasn't able to access their chest.

So is the tooltip wrong, and all chest are secure and no visitor can steal anything from me?

Or did I miss something?

If thieves are possible, which is the best secure "starter chest" to buy on the trade market?

Any update?

It's just some flavor text, it doesnt mean anything. Pretty much every item has this.

This would actually be a cool game mechanic. If you are PvP flagged you could steal items from opposing factions homes / chests...

This game needs reasons to PvP and just capturing a town isn't going to hold peoples interest for to long.

As long it only affects people who were part of the war, sure. People who dont care about PvP should not be bothered with this.

I could see that.

I don't agree with that...

PvP is part of the game and artificially creating conflict would go a long way to breathing some life into this game. As of right now it's basically just a safe space simulator.

I don't think people should be forced into a nonstop and endless PvP battle but at the same time they shouldn't be able to avoid it 100% of the time either.

No, PvP is an optional part of the game, otherwise we would have it with PVP permanently turned on. I would agree with this on a pure PVP server (which I also agree should be happening for people who want it), but on "regular" servers? No thank you. People who dont care about PVP should be forced into it.

You can move to a different city to avoid PvP...

Right now there is an issue with lack of content in the game.
In addition to that there is no real reason to PvP. I understand where you are coming from and like i said, you should not be throw into an endless PvP battle if that's not what you want But some times you need to protect yourself...

Drama, hardships and triumphs are just some of the thing's that make an MMO good. New World has none of those things. New World is a shell of a game and wont be here for long if they don't make some serious changes and give us reasons to engage in both PvP and PvE.

You are still forced to evacuate due to PVP, which is not something PVE players should have to do. Again, on a Pure PVP server, sure. On a regular server? No way.

And again: I fully support pure PVP Servers, and I think they should absolutely add them, at least a couple to see how much people like them.

Good thing you're not the developer.

Go for it, start programming and show us how its done. Dont forget your participation trophies for pvp babies.

Would be cool as a plunder mechanic after you capture a town, Good luck getting people to side with you after the fact though

Yeah this is like the worst suggestion I have ever heard lol. Imagine you can just flag yourself for PvP and then just casually loot someones entire storage because they are out questing or whatever. Like nobody would farm anymore, everyone would just run around stealing from other peoples chests. Or nobody would buy a house anymore or not put any chest into any house if that means other people could just steal your stuff. That would be so stupid :)
