How about a way to mark our territory?
Tag a tree with some rope

Marker flags

Paint arrows/messages on walls ect..

Server specific, they'd get wiped with restarts - what do you guys think?

What do you suggest? That we piss over something like cats do?

It's not exactly "Our" territory either. The game world is there for all to play in. I would think when base building comes in, the fact that their is a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ base there would be a dead give away that it's someone's territory.

It could be used as a means to identify a trail to your base, but if you've played rust at all, that's a horrible idea.

I mean, it could be used so many different ways.

Lure the curious, mark the trail for a friend, a way to pay homage to the hero that saved you from the bandit - graffiti his name on the hospital!

Sense of Mark a Territory? You gonna wait the whole Day till some1 comes to Balota or NW Airfield?

I don't get what you mean?


I'm simply saying it would be nice to be able to spray paint a word in the middle of the road, that my buddies could stumble upon when looking for each other.

I like this idea.
I like that you can leave notes lying around. That's nice. But an expansion on that idea would be good, leaving clues, markers and things like that.
For the stranger who saved you and died from his wounds; you should be able to get 2 sets of sticks and fashion a rudimentary cross, then place it in the ground. But it could only be placable within a few metres of a player who died within the last 20 minutes or so.Surely they could implement that somehow?
I am a new player, and have already seen some amazing acts of kindness in this game, and have tried to be kind myself (fed a starving man who was so tooled up he could have just killed me and taken the food since I had no real weapons to speak of), so leaving markers for the ultimate sacrifice of strangers would be a great idea.

Road side flairs will be coming in at some point. If you want to mark an area, use those.

That is not marking territory. But I do like that idea of just painting a word on the road.

No, that specific example wasn't directly related to marking territory, but "TURN BACK NOW" "random CLAN PROPERTY" "KoS NEXT 5 MILES" are all great examples of how it could be used as such.

since its not 'your territory' ever this is a waste of dev time imo

It's not "your gun" either, but you grab and load it.

I realize it's not "My" territory, but it will be, if I mark it as such, and defeat anyone who challenges that.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want another layer, another reason to be afraid of a western town known for a ruthless group, unless you just server hop and snipe into elecktro.

Because we don't all play the game for PVP. There is enough KOS'ing going on as it is and "Marking" territory that we think we own, ruins the game since it would likely cut off a lot of players from essential loot. It's like having a "private server" so to speak inside a region of the game world. That would kill the survival aspect of the game and make it just another PVP kill zone.
