PLEASE DISABLE AVATAR

[Neo]

Whats the reason when in 60 seconds a work from 100 Hours and more will be destroyed ??? When you not implement a way to defend a Avatar... DISABLE IT !!!!

[Ryvucz]

Play on a blitz server that has them disabled, or just join a private server that has them disabled.

or just cry less about how a giant statue is OP as ♥♥♥♥, BECAUSE IT'S A GIANT STATUE

Personally I love the Avatars. They add a competitive mechanic to the game. Build lots of bases only use a few. It's a guessing game and an "oh ♥♥♥♥ they're summoning Yog! Kill him!" moment. My clan and another have been summoning Avatars for the last two weeks on each other. It's so much fun to have that competition.
Now the Chinese are in on it. It's like a Royal Rumble on server #211.
Go to a private server with no God's if they're not for you.

Gods are a joke, build a box around the summoner and it's an instant IWIN button, it requires little to no work to get a god, and it's an offline raiders dream.

Watch the latest dev diary, the one on trebs and dye system. They know about Avatars, and they are trying to figure out the best approach. Plan is to make the Arch Priest spawn rate much lower, something about once every two weeks, was mentioned over the current once every two hours, but lots of things to take into account. My preference is no Avatars, or let them do something besides destroy. Made summon to auto repair entire base. or Auto capture thralls they step on, something of the sort.

I so much agree with you!

They disable us to test the raiding content.
- no one in the earth will build complex tricky structures AKA we can not test aspects of raiding until Avatars are in game!

More I read about this Avatar issue based on dev's opinion, more I have to realize it's meaning:
Devs afraid of the well knows issue that effects every even open world sandbox game:
- everyone is full of everything, there is no meaning of looting eachother, no meaning of raiding eachother, no end game = burn out, uninstal.

Thats why they disabled it just on blitz, since it's wipes it self....

But Avatar is not the way!
- there should be meaningful teritory control system, like you absolutely can not reach mines if you do not control strategical poits, so you can fall back to stone pickaxe lvl quite fast due to item dura lose.
- Also, sandstorms should dmg buildings, so if you can not reach the mines and you can not repair, that :
stone pickaxe + weet bedroll after a few days....
- also, you should not be able to attack siege control poits when the owner is ofline, but you would be able to drop a siege with timer (lets say, 24 hours) so they can prepair

This woul work out! This would be tactics based, skill based not like Avatars

Avatar is a stupid and primitive way to handle soft wipes.

That sounds like a quick way to bully people off the server.

Not at all if it's set up well!

Look, for example:
- everyone can mine all minable noods but, if you have a teritory control over them, you can gather +% by gathering from the connected "mines" (with that the basic drop rate of resources should be lowered of course.)
- so you can mine anywear even if you get wiped totaly.

And you also have a goal: to grab teritorry control, so you can rebuild and dominate faster.

Whats your goal now after you get wiped by an Avatar?
- you have just one goal, you wanna destroy them by an Avatar as well till they are ofline, so you will build up a toilet size ugly base just to set up an altar next to it, you grind up the altar to t3 fast as posible, you craft the coin, run with it near to your opponent base, with 2 t3 fundations and 3 t1 stair, you build up the stairs to reach a cliff, destroy the stairs, place the 2 fundations on the top and go ofline. Then you just watch the stream server menu window, that when they go ofline...

When you done, thers nothing happened.. you do not even wanna loot up what their base droped, since you do not even wanna build a new base, due to the same scenario....

Now thats a stupid "quick way to bully people off the server" with one extra: basicaly both sides gets bullyed out lol

Avatars should go! To hell with them!

At least they should let you allow to summon your own avatar to fight an attacking one. (Yeah, I know, framerates would go down in the drain.)

the time frame is so short, that you can not even reach your vault to grab your coin. So that would be a totaly new system. An ofline scenarios would be still an issue.

or... you should get a srver message, that (lets say) in 24 hours your base will be attacked by an Avatar. So yea, you can prepair.
(other games handle these siege time frames, like you can not do any structural work till that time. An issue here is the local banking.. but well, destroying a huge base, a 100 hours work is one goal.. to raid and loot out someone is another... they should be separated acts)

yes like they showed off in the game launch trailer...

[Zugs]

most servers that are not offical they are off.. Seems I found your problem. Your welcome.

[Solomon Hawk]

Why not summon an opponent avatar to fight that one?
I mean, besides stomping all of your resources into the dirt and all ..
shouldn't they be fighting each other?

[Grimm]

Just wait for the npc army update. Then ya people whining about Avatars will whine about that too.
