Suggestion Way to get into towns... c4!

[_Maxo]

Currently TNT is disabled completely, I was getting sick and tired of these roofed in bubbles that people call "towns" where 1 dirt block keeps an entire town safe from invaders. I thought it would be cool if you could place TNT next to a town wall it would blow up, but about 5-10 seconds later, the blocks that have exploded would all re-spawn back. During that time it would give a way for people to get into towns. Thanks! (_Remember, it's just a suggestion xD_)

Time for double walls!

That would just make walls reduntant. And would leave logging off as the only possible mean of not getting into a fight...

I don't know what you think, but I think PvP should not be something that you can just 100% block out. How it is now where everyone is 100% safe in a town barrier, IMO is pretty un-hardcore

I think it would require some MEAN requirements, restrict it to lvl 50 engineer and require 5 TNT blocks to use the skill.

completely agree. Not everyone should be able to do this, Maybe Master 55 Profession.

This would be awesome, you got my support!

Noty engineer. That is a profession.

Make it a specification, that way, there will be far fewer people who could use that skill.

it's a very cool idea, right now it's not possible, but I'll definetely keep it on the plate as I push in the features.

Instead I propose making a warm-up time for closing gates. That would mean that someone can't run from another player into the town and close the gate and block them out, but would give the raiders a chance to get into the town, before the gate actually closes.

I don't want to say that I like the idea of impenetrable towns, but blowing holes into a wall doesn't seem like the perfect solution

I think it sounds cooler tbh xD

I would rather the blowing up portion because its more war like... I would go with it even if the walls didn't regen but an easy way to counter is just claim enough land around the town so that you would need to be an expert to tnt cannon the walls themselves... Since you wouldn't be able to placer tnt at the meat of the city since all the land around is claimed.

I like the idea but it is very easily countered.
Edit- Also it would go against the no greifing rule even if its temporary

nah. if it's temporary it's not considered griefing now is it? especially if we program the mechanics in to allow for it.

The whole TNT thing is a cool idea. But your reasoning here is backwards! This is a hardcore server, not a pvp server. The township system is meant to keep people safe, and to encourage people to live together and reap the benefits. If townhalls were pvp-off like they should be then i'd back this tnt idea 100%, or maybe the townhall could be impregnable to tnt with whatever plugin makes this happen, OR maybe people will just get smart and make it out of obsidian

A raid now a days: * 5 Armored Warriors walk up to a towns walls *, * Warriors walk around to see if anyone is outside, while they watch the white names through the walls /shout "Lauphing" * Warriors go home *

I just thought this would add something new and hardcore to the Server , because atm I really can't raid any towns lol

How about people inside the city get a 50% Decrease in Damage delt to them, 10% damage buff, and outsiders get nothing?

People are just going to Agree and Disagree without stating anything to back themselfs up?

I really like this idea, especially because this isn't "Modern Warfare". Back when swords were used to fight, like how it is in MC/HC, it did take a while to raise and lower the gates/bridges.

 

[Mellowbeatz]

You could just make it like Guild wars 2.

Make the countdown insanely long on the timer - This way the people get a chance to retaliate before it blows up, but if silent and discreet enough the infiltrator gets free loot.

It's called tactics.
