Can't build outside your territory anymore?

[Rappeldrache]

Hello,

so it is truth? I can't build NOTHING outside my territory anymore? I'm restricted to the small territory areas / castle areas from the map? If I have two territory side by side and I want to link them: There is no way? No garden anymore? Only in the restricted area of my territory?

Please tell me that I missed the possibilty to deactivate "this" in the server options?

I'm a builder and PvE player. I play with a multigaming guild. Two of us have borrowed two server for some months. We make arrangements in our forum, we don't need limitations like this. Now the game have lost A LOT, A LOT of his attraction for me.
It was sutch an incredible feature to build large castles with wonderful, beautiful garden and to find options to keep somehow the nature enviroment, in your personal garden. They have taken this feature completly away from the game ....

It seems so

Castles can have multiple stories now. Build the majority of your castle on the second floor and above and use the ground floor for a garden.

Its still an unecessary restriction tbh

After a Few Hours into the Update (+ Rubberbanding for Hours aswell) This seems true yeah, iam a bit dissappointed aswell :-/
But even looks like all the Big Locations where we could "Pair" Castles with each other are gone aswell.
4 of my favorite "Big" Castle Building Locations are gone now, split into two or three Areas, all in favor in building up

"Territories and Multiple Floors

Players may now freely build staircases allowing you to build a castle on multiple floors. Players may build up to 3 floors or 4 floors in areas that have terrain height differences. This is the default server setting but may be increased up to 6 floors on private servers.

Major parts of the world have been updated with new topology to support multiple floors as well as a new way of claiming your land through the Territory system. You no longer claim land by placing individual borders but instead claim the entirety of a region by placing your Castle Heart in the available space.

The intention with this change is to:

Ensure that players always get the room they need to progress and build a castle that can store all their stations and loot.
Block players from intentionally griefing other players by surrounding them with floors/walls.
Avoid scenarios where multiple players unintentionally build in the same area effectively blocking each other from progressing later in the game when everyone needs more space.
Improve PvP scenarios where players could build multiple lines of defenses in a single area and could build an army of servants making it almost impossible to raid.
Better communicate the land availability of a server to players before they join. It will be easier to avoid servers that have too little space to build.
Improve the Map UI to better display what areas are claimed and what areas are free as well as what players/clans are occupying a given space.

Territories also pave the way for a number of possible expansions/improvements for the future. This addition is a stepping stone towards something more."

Was kind of necessary for the overall improvement of the game.

Yeah they split some of the larger locations into smaller territories.
This sucks a lot because I play solo for the most part and am limited to 5 castles still.
I enjoyed creating huge castles in big areas and the ups and downs of the terrain were cool features I tried to include in my castle.
Now its like this?
what a big shame.

I understand the territory system. and I somewhat like it.
But I think it should still be possible with enough time and investment to claim mroe than 1 territory with 1 castle heart.

I understand early griefing of people surrounding you was annoying no doubt.
But I think that they could keep the territory system when you place a heart, but as you build further you could take over other territories if they're not occupied.

Also I don't see a setting to increase castle floors to 6 as mentioned

After scouting the Farbane Woods for nearly an hour i didnt found a suitable Location as a Solo Player, i needed to stealth my Way into the Farmlands, and there i found a Spot right in the Middle of the Area, which looks like the biggest plot i found so far and a nice Pond.

I understand the Intention for the Restrictions, yeah.
But thats all in Favor of the PVP Online Play. If they want to go more into this Direction, they should disable the Solo/Singleplayer Content completely, this way i can drop the Game early and not be utterly dissappointed after months of waiting for such a "great" Game :-/

Same here ... there are / there were a lot of player "out there" who enjoyed just TO BUILD (alone of with other people / with friends). Don't tell me they didn't know this. Just google a bit, there are so many screens and videos with player-castles & garden.

And why not give the option to let the people decide themself if they want sutch a restriction or not, on their server? On the official server they can have the restriction .. .but on the personal, private server ....

More floors is no alternate for "building on the whole area around you, too".

I just hope that as I play further there is a way to claim further territories.
I haven't got too much deep into the game.

Not outside of additional hearts.

You can have a lot of territories (take a look in the server options), but you can't build out of this specific territory areas ... I thing (not sure) you can't even make stairs UP to go to your castle entrance anymore, only inside your castle.

So if you have 2 territories side by side, just a few meter away - you can't connect them.
The enviroment is "gone" for you. You can now make little earth piles on the floor to grow plants inside your castle. You have to build UP new floors ... a garden, the enviroment is "gone".

Is there a possibility to get the "old" game back? BEFORE the DLC?


As a builder you are a second-class person in V Rising ... this is the bitter truth .... I'm so angry that I bought the new Cosmetic DLC BEFORE playing the new DLC ....

It's for online play, not just PVP. Griefing people also happened on PVE servers.

Should be toggleable.
I only played with friends so...
And there's other ways around it.
They could have made this new territory system
But made the first floor you place outside of your territory cost a LOT something like 200x more or something.
But allow you to take more territory.

One more sandbox-like game falling into the commun trap of prioritizing pvp and multiplayer, when the majority of their player base plays pve and mostly SP.

One more game I'm about to forget...
