Play some really horrible noise through chat.
Bargain.
Beg.
Plead.
Quit the server.

Keep telling us how you go. Devs NEED to see this mechanic working as not intended.

Drop the items then run around the cage. Ask if there is any admins on . Dont log off as your food bar wont go down. Also take off your armor and convince them to light/quench fires as cold will reduce food and heat reduces water

Handcuffs wont allow you into your inventory so he cant drop anything

Also depending on how far you have progressed on the server, you may just be better off switching to another one, either temporarily or permanently. If you log out, the person watching you is going to notice and may stop as actively feeding you. Then you log back in and start jumping around and sprinting to starve/dehydrate yourself and then die.

Just have to keep doing this until you find a server where people aren't caging you for fun.

"Innocent" people are going down to this bud even though a name does not a player make. Guaranteed, if you were locked up like one guy was, recently for 36+ hours, you'd be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it. Simple as that.

It's BS because you CAN'T do anything. Capiche?

You cant do anything because the only thing you would do is Escape making all there efforts to capture you void. There is no use or Benefit to having a System in place where the Captured are able to escape on a set period of time or with some predetermined action. That just allows the tables to be turned drastically, So instead of having glorious prisons been built you would instead having nothing. All because the Captures/Builders of said prisons would know that all there efforts woud go to waste when a new player who had been captured simply shook his cuffs off and tunnels into there base from the inside and loots the place. Is that your Prefered Gameplay? ♥♥♥♥ his 36 Hours is my Opinion, Its not like he can just log off and play on another server if his Current Life in a cell gets to boring...In the end, I have settled to not vouch for any System that Benefits the Prey more than the Predator. Would you like all the Slingshots,Bows and Guns to fire on a 3 second delay while an Audio alarm plays to warn all those who may be shot?

And to conclude, There is (Usually) no better measure of a player than there choosing name.

Here is his past list of names STFUnPRAY

Troll God

Daren

Yep those are the Titles of a great and Honourable Gentleman alright, It is a mere Fallacy to ever concieve that he is a player that would find himself benefiting greatly from the nerfing of the current Capture system. Yes there is deffinetly no Bias from his Arguements at all.

so you disagree with dinos being able to wake up because that would make all effots to tame them void?

Well, if we decide to judge him by his name, it is highly likely this entire thread is nothing but a troll... and he's never seen the inside of a cage.

Instead, it's quite likely that he's picked what is obviously a currently flawed mechanic that tends to generate heated threads, to yank everyone's chain a bit.

Tainted, a good game mechanic is fun for players on both sides of the coin... and those that are fun for one side while a misery to the other are to be avoided at all cost. In this game (among many others) death is fine, loss of assets is fine, inability to play the game is NOT fine and only leads to one thing. Rage quitting and a reduction in the available player base, which is not good for the devs or for the players.

The mechanic needs work, mostly because people with your attitude will gladly abuse it as it is.

You cannot access your inventory while handcuffed. Trust me, I tried. D:

I will take your troll bait and state this. How is it you think that you can say that you should be given the power to deny someone who spent money on this game to play entirely? That is literally what prisons are. No one should ever be able to deny someone the ability to play on their server for DAYS. This has nothing to do with being a coward this has everything to do with being able to play a game.

You state that should all the weapons be on a delay with noises and honestly that compares nothing at all to prisoner taking and you know why? The player can die and respawn somewhere else if they are killed by someone. But if I am taken prisoner what can I do? Oh yeah log on and sit there asleep without being able to do anything because my inventory is 100% full with handcuffs on me making it impossible to drop anything or any sort of way to respawn. It is 100% Dumb that this was even implemented.

Your presenting one of the most Forced Strawmen Arguements ive ever seen. No i think it is perfectly reasonable to have them wakeup after getting knocked out, Unless your confusing the Knockout state with a Comatose one. I like your conclusing from my Arguement thou, You simply seen that i disagreed with your Opinion and decided to Rebuttal without actually addressing a Single one of my points. Your already shaping up to be a Horrible Contributer to this discussion and i would rather not hear your badly put forward Rhettoric. Unless you wish to actually take as you give?
As fun as the cuffs and cages are, I have to agree that they are dumb and should be removed. I use em for fun but some people are using them to grief and troll. The devs knew something like this was going to happen...
Virtual Realms Mar 6, 2016 @ 12:39am 
The mechanic itself isn't necessarily bad, it just needs to be fleshed out. There are any number of options that would make it much more fun for all involved.

The least fun option would be to put a timer on captivity (although it would work). When the timer expires the person either has slipped their bonds or they expire. Either way the timer should probably be long enough that the captive knows that their play session is likely over for the night, unless they choose to spend the time role playing.

A variation on this would be to make that timer relatively short, perhaps an hour, after which the person expires but respawns at the closest generic spawn point. This sparks either a rescue scenario, or a desperate struggle to elude capture again with nothing but your wits to aid you.

Whatever option is chosen it would probably be wise to have it relatively controlled on official servers (where it is more likely to be abused), but have it configurable on private servers. That way the players on that server can decide how they would like it to play out (for instance to put it back to the way it is currently), and there would be some oversight to keep it from becoming a griefing tool.

These are just a couple of rough examples. There are many, many ways this mechanic can be developed to become something far more enjoyable for all involved.

Ranger1 your arguement is flawed from the very beginning, How can being taking Prisoner be fun? If you awnser that without presenting an obvious loop hole in the whole basis of getting captured in the first place then i Applaud you and will actually agree with you. Would you suggest something along the lines of Button mashing? Whoever hits a certain button more gets to have there way? Your missing the entire premise that Prisoner taking is a one sided affair, Anything else and it could be considered Wrestling. I sense a certain amount of Projection from your Arguement "Rage quitting and a reduction in the available player base". Maybe you should learn to not get Captured? Or would that interfere with your Gameplay to?

Esco... Your currently saying that this feature is in comparrising the same as me Denying someone the ability to play, Because they cant "Play" when captured? And that in fact it is there right to be able to Not suffer from any sort of Negative Actions from other...Players...Because it will effect there Gameplay. Your really lost with this whole loss of Freedom idea arent you?

Ranger and Esco, And most other people in this thread... You are giving a Simple mechanic that adds so much Depth into the game. When two Tribes fued, Instead of a killingfest you can Capture a Strategic member of that other Tribe and make demands. You can Hold proper courts or Rituals, You can have Slave Labor if you set up a System correctly. All of this is possible because the game if no longer a Binary System. Everything is no longer Dead or Alive, You have Pergutory. This allows for a much more Immersive World due to the Wriggle room and the Ability for players to Rule another for a single respawn. But no. None of this should be possible because you would rather see it through your Problematic Glasses and deme it to be "Game Breaking".

No matter how many Bad Arguements i have thrown at me, All of them added together will not beat my one Well Rounded and thoughtfully Concluded Opinion.

Quality over Quantity has a place here i believe, This is the exact type of situation it was intended for. Go and Enjoy your Confirmation Biases and Circle Jerks elsewhere. Because i im yet to see an Arguement that was Based in Logic and not Feelings.

killing someone is a negative action destroying their base and dinos is a negative action. plenty of negative actions without denying someone the ability to play a game they SPENT MONEY ON.
