Castle defence against AI for solo players.

[Three-Eyed King]

Whats the point in having this huge castle fortress with servants and guards, when noone attacks it. I love this game So far, but this Is the only gripe I have with it And this one feature would complete it for me.

IKR. I was hoping for Bloodmoon horde raids or *something*, anything to justify all the defenses provided. And it's not just solo players, everyone on a PvE server has this same issue. My wife and I play on a PvE server and were wondering why we even have a castle. I guess it helps to place a waygate here and there, but ...

ive been asking for this since ea. it would probably be a pretty involved system and i have little hope they can justify the resources to do it.

Pvp is a fun game mode. Recommended.

This, alongside improvements to how servants work in order to make more useful and immersive are 2 features I'm looking forward to. However, there's only Update #3 yet planned, so we'll see if that's going to happen.

It would be fun to have villagers with torches and pitchforks marching against your castle.

I had that choice at game start. There's a reason I'm playing on a PvE server. It's a fun game mode. Recommended.

players would just gimp all their servants. and possibly camp on silverlight to get 90% paladin and lightweaver.

The game is built in Unity, the quick and dirty is a timer based check to see if a castle position is occupied, if so then spawn a patrol group of comparable enemies for the zone and simply have them march to the heart from the road.

Nothing complicated about it at all and could be written in less than an hour.

Could also improve upon it and spawn numbers based on the castle heart; they already have checks for that since there are keys that is a consumable item.

Might also be able to artificially increase the gear score of the enemies spawned based on the castle heart level.

And, can instead spawn Werewolves or other things depending on the time of day.

Yeah, all my pimped out servants can only walk around in the garden or go do some gathering via the throne in PvE server, kinda sad really.

Because base defences were so fun and interactive on stuff like Fallout 4...

Problem with FO4 was the base building was bare Bones and sucked major ass. V rising doesnt have those problems. It could be toggleable in advanced settings like many things are, for the people who want it - cool. For the people who dont - also cool.

You're right. It's so simple to enable NPCs to attack your castle, and all the things that go along with it. There's no chance it also turns out to be barebones and sucks major ass, because... uh... reasons, I guess.
It doesn't take a lot of coding for the pathfinding and AI on both sides, or bug testing, or anything like that. You just snap your fingers and implement a feature that almost nobody actually wants, just like that, and not only does it have the depth everyone wants, but it works flawlessly!

Honestly, these are the same kind of ridiculous comments that I remember a lot of on Satisfactory. People just don't get it.

Well, clearly if Bethesda made an unsatisfactory base defense experience 9 years ago it is now hopeless for any other developer to even make an attempt at it!

I mean the logic is unassailable!

If that's all you took away from my post, then you clearly have nothing of value to add.

How dare anyone make a suggestion about expanding single player!!!

You are the very typical nay sayer that always, always, always show up in any thread asking devs for a change.
