Bastion Roads

[Xargun]

I am not sure who (or maybe more than 1 person) is building the nice cobblestone roads across bastion, but since it runs right past my castle I was wondering if you mind if I built a road out to it ? It does make travel between areas much easier - even with the occasional highwayman along the way.

I know j2gay was working on roads, but I don't know about your road in particular

Generally speaking, if it still looks good I'm sure a slight change won't matter.

 

[Xargun]

Ok I will make a road to meet theirs and see if anyone complains. Now I need a gatehouse, etc.... Bottom line... need to go mining..

Is the road partially done, made of stone brick on the finished parts and a line of cobblestone as the rest, not quite connected?

Not sure I haven't traveled it - looks like all cobblestone. But the part I'm referring to is around 841,65,1900 and goes right by my little castle.

That's not the road I was thinking, then.

I love building roads and other public infrastructure, but it has been difficult on this server. I have lost track of the number of times I have been out clearing, grading, or constructing roads and canals and been randomly ganked by passers-by.

I am rarely armed, and only have my construction materials on me... but for some reason people still feel compelled to run off with my stacks of cobble and sand, and few iron tools.

Lately, I have suspended "server betterment" activities and just stuck close to home. I don't know what the solution to this is.

I feel ya, I like terraforming, and I'd love to do more projects towards making Bastion more beautiful, but people insist on interrupting me. I can get away usually because I have blink, but why am I obligated to fight you when I'm trying to build? Sure that makes me a coward, it also means I'm not stupid. I like fighting too, but some people are too tied up in the pvp all the time mentaility, I have other things to do, that's what makes the server more interesting.

If I ever have any free time, since I've been working mostly on kingdom projects, I'd be happy to work with you. I figure that I can fight off one person, and distract them if more people come.

I guess the solution is just to shrug it off, even if it is frustrating. Working in groups might help a bit.

 

[Teerian]

It is very frustrating, yes, but not much can be done about it. Try bringing a friend or two along to help with the project for fast completion and more protection.

Something else I have noticed is some people - for some idiotic reason - like to travel out and grief the roads during construction. I was travelling along one of the new Alicubi roads lately to check on its progress and noticed that one section near someone's personal (and non-regioned) little village had been completely torn up and replaced with a sign saying "What are you even building? Get off my pro-per-tay!"

Really? You think that just because something is being built within 100 blocks of your home that you have permission to rip it up? You're not on Warshard anymore.

Yeah, it's fun to create structures like roads and trade areas between populated areas like Kingdoms and neighboring towns. PvPers keeps interupting though, like if PvP is all HC is about

Technically, you could report them for that.

 

[Angyles]

Teerian - Jas is correct you can report for that.

 

[Teerian]

Thank you. I decided to give this particular person one chance to leave it be since I believe he was online and watching from a distance when I came through and began to replace the path. If it's gone the next time I walk it, I likely will report it.

I would prefer to compromise and have the road rise above/dive below or even slightly curve around the area. Seeing it torn up rather than the person attempting to contact a member of the town or at least leave a sign asking rather than taunting kind of curbs my desire to initiate such a thing, though. We'll see what happens.

As I believe that this a very worthy thing to do (and kinda cool) I would like to make a suggestion, add lights along the road, I would gladly volunteer my time to venture into the nether and farm up some glowstone to use to make streetlamps, would make it look nice, even if its only done around towns and such.

 

[Teerian]

Torches were used for the road leading to spawn, but people frequently steal them. I like the idea of glowstone streetlamps, but considering the length of even one individual road, that is a LOT of glowstone. Plus they would have to be checked regularly for griefing. I imagine there are a number of people who would try to sneak off with one or two if they think they could get away with it.

Lamps within, say, 500 blocks of each town might not be a bad idea. As you said, it would definitely make it look nice.

 

[ShadowRavynn]

I like building and stuff too, if you guys need help, let me know =)

and I love the roads and the canal is awesome! =) I used to live up there by it but kept getting ganked.... >.<

As for light sources, my town, Freyrham, produces more pumpkins than we possibly know what to do with. I usually make them into Jack'O'Lanterns for light sources -- the benefit is that they work under water, too! I can supply pumpkins to road builders. Just contact me in-game.

Combined with a dirt platform and reeds, the Jack"O'Lanterns can make a nice underwater road -- I have been experimenting with this up near Freyrham.

Anyhow... I hereby propose the formation of a new Guild, the "HeroCraft Department of Public Works." Who's in?

Sounds really fun, if there are people willing to do this then sure, i'm in.
