i'm not the owner of my creation anymore...

[marasthar]

Hi,

I played online and i joined a clan few days ago. I created my house and equipement but i saw the owner of doors, box and anything a created was my clan name.
Then, i leave the clan and now i'm in "my house" but the doors cannot open, because the owner is still the clan i leaved!
all my stuff are in boxes i created but i'm not the owner so, all is blocked...
anything i can do for retrieve my properties?

that's how it works, and sadly no way to get it back other than to rejoin the clan and destroy it from within lol.
what clans you join, bind all your property to them

If you left on good terms, can always ask if you can rejoin to get what you need to start in a new location. They may even help you.

ho... just 2 words... it's sucks!!!
seriously? the game permit that? all what you do is not yours?
please tell me it's a bug or a bad bad gameplay who change!

A lot of clans exploit that atm. It needs to change; newbies are getting scammed. Should be top priority

It's a bad game mechanic, that's for sure. Especially on PvE servers, it seriously discourages anyone from joining a clan, even for co-op builds. Newbies get scammed. It's a form of PvE PvP. Take someone else's stuff, via clan kick.

Unlike most games where if you are not a builder, but would like someone else to build or decorate your base/house -- you assign temp access and then revoke after they are done and paid. But in CE-- you can't.

Join a clan, stay forever, no matter how bad whatever is, or lose it all and start over from scratch. You can't even amicably remove someone without taking away their buildings and making them have to start over. All you can do is give them back their stuff and send them off to rebuild. Again.

It sucks.

I agree that it's not a good mechaninc, you should be able to acces your chests and recover your things, at the very least gear, but for the buildings, it must be this way, anything else would cause trouble.

Imagine you are part of a large clan and are coop building some large structure/city, then one of your clan mates leaves and suddenly you cant acces part of your building and can't continue building because of land claim. This would be bad in pvp, having to figure out exactly what build said person, but disastreous in pve.

Besides, it makes no sense, if you are part of a "clan of survivors" and decide to leave, you leave, you dont get to keep ownership of part of their structures.

Ideally you should have the ability to keep some sort of personal storage, and if you leave you get to keep whats inside.

Yes, the reasons for removing access to the clan builds are valid. However, there should be an option to have a separate build, that is claimed only to you. One that if you leave a clan, is still yours.

[Game On]

The OP wasnt scammed, lol, he left the clan. If people get to have a seperate build, they can just loot everything from the clan and move it to thier "personal" base, then leave.

As it is, the worst they can do is loot as much as they can carry, then leave and try to build another base.

The way Funcom has it set up, nobody with half a brain will ever invite a stranger to thier clan. We need access levels for vaults, chests, etc.

This is the only game ive ever played where people get full access to everything immediately upon joining a clan.
