I HATE the new plot system!

One of the best things about this game was getting creative of where and how you build your castle, now it just got dumbed down.

Also, the game has always had a problem with feeling like Vampire Castle City with entire rows of castles, which takes away a lot of the appear. Now this awkward design got buffed because you can no longer stretch a single castle across an entire hillside because the plots were set up to have more castles next to each other.

It didn't get changed because they wnated to "dumb it down," it got changed because griefers were "getting creative" with it in multiplayer and boxing other players in. Unfortunately, fixing this issue the way they did also means we lose the old plot system. If you want to blame someone, blame the toxic griefer pvp enjoyers - they're the reason we can't have nice things.

Personally I think I'm coming around to preferring this new system. It wouldn't have worked with the old single storey castles, but with the increased verticality I think it works quite well.

If you have a problem with the aesthetic issues that come with vampire castle urban congestion on your server, may I suggest you try single player, or playing on a private server with only a few frens? Wilderness as far as the eye can see.

Now I´m just dying to get a Basement floor for my prisoners and stuff.

Catacombs!!

That'd be cool, and I was honestly hoping they'd include a basement level along with the upper storey stuff in the gloomrot update.

I'll second that the plot system actually makes me pretty happy; even in our private server I one day woke up to a castle... nested behind my castle where my prison was gonna go. I really like claiming plots.

I also second catacombs; I'd also really like the idea of an RNG dungeon entrance that you can build in your basement and raid once a day or something.

I do wish it's an option you can turn OFF.
I see it very useful in public servers, but in private server, particularly in PvE one, it's just another limitation.

Yes that would be awesome.

I definitely like the advantages it brings, but I hate what it takes away.
I can't help but feel it was the laziest way they could have fixed the problems of the old system.

So tell me what they could have done?

I agree.

After playing the game 1 time anyone with a brain would figure out how to build in order not to get griefed. The change has made it even harder for newer players starting in t1 to have a chance of getting a plot.

The plot system is decent in squad servers but with solo/duo there just aren't enough plots to generate a health pop through wipe. New people can't build and just go to another server.

The devs are smart and I think will take another look at the system and plug in a decent change.

That is the devs job. They have the data and knowledge, do you really expect the fixes to be in steam forum posters?
