Should Base Building Return?

[Player 1]

With the latest update coming out today, walls will be more destructible and repairable. Would you guys like to see fences return? Share your opinion. 

Personally,

NO! I like where it is now. The More Doors Mod has been the best mod added in terms of reliability and usefulness. The server is far more stable with less of those wooden fortresses around.

No.

I don't want to play Rust.

People are already salty about losing their shit when they can't have a base, imagine how salty they'll be when their thirty walls get broken down and their stuff gets stolen.

Very, very, VERY few people use bases to promote RP, most use them to help hoard gear. 

Those that want to promote RP can get an approved group going, and there you go.

 

I see only disadvantages towards the health of the server, and the mindset of the community, by bringing back more ways to hoard.

[Guest]

No, nope, it is good as it is now. The map looks overall cleaner without the decaying, raided shells of "mighty" fortresses.

[SynO]

I agree with what Rover said, people will get more and more salty if their HUGE base got yeeted because of a break-in or them getting offline raided

[tz]

Love the way it is now. Adding base building of any kind that like before is well back tracking. Moredoors has been great.

no. 

[Para]

Nope, definitely should never return. Hated base building because of the abuse the game mechanics would get just so people could hoard 1000s of entities in a base that is occupied by like 2 people. 

[ItsJet]

No, I enjoy how easy it is to break into bases right now. People should not be able to hoard 10+ tents with hundreds of guns in them. I have seen more people out and about instead of worrying about their 100 M4s their grandfather all passed down to them. 

[Blakeh08]

No, base building promotes gear hoarding and just people camping in big bases and only leave them for loot which provides no RP at all, base building is good and people do make good camps it's just the people that abuse it and when it is broken into sometimes people just end up reporting for "griefing" wasting staffs time.

use the watchtowers and moredoors

really dont need fences

[K2U]

I don't think base building should return to the way it was, however, I feel that one of the weak points in the MoreDoors mod is the inability to secure a vehicle. While one doesn't need a car to roleplay, some of the best roleplay I've have this season either took place in a car, or likely would not have happened if we hadn't had a car. While some group would, inevitably, attempt to hoard vehicles I would love to see some sort of compromise that allows us to build, say, a gate + watch tower to make a garage, but not build massive fortresses as it used to be.

We are not in the moors, and neither are the doors. Fixed a typo.

People aren't allowed to build bases out of watchtowers, defeats the purpose of removing fences.

why are they in the game lol

[Eagle]

No the way it is right now is perfectly fine though I feel that one tool shouldn't be able to go through several doors.

No.

I've always said that big wooden fortresses only does one thing - and that is make the people who live there paranoid of the world around them because "I don't want my stuff taken."
Since it has been taken away, we've seen communities that's popped up who're more than happy to have strangers around, which is brilliant.
Does stuff get stolen? Yes. Would it have been stolen anyway even with 10+ gates on your shed? Yes.

To build watchtowers, not walls.

[Jade]

-1 am not in favor of bringing bases back. We've seen the amounts of hoarding people can do with more doors I'd hate to see what base building could bring. This is a rp server not a base server to store gear.

If you use them as a way that is clearly intended as a substitute for walls, they'll be removed.

So for example, to block off the interior of a warehouse door, or the supermarket windows.

However, I've seen someone place two watchtowers close together outside of an apartment block, block the edges with barbed wire kits, and fully construct the watchtower. They put a moredoors-door between the two watchtowers. To me that was fine, because while it DOES somewhat function like a wall, it looked perfectly natural, they fully built it, and it wasn't a situation where they were clearly just making wall replacements.

3 way spit roast by the admins

cheers for helping with that

[Duplessis]

No. Since the removal of basebuilding, my interactions have become more plentiful and more enjoyable. I think the doors are aesthetically better than the fences, and do the job just as well. 

[Hofer]

God no. Base building is gone and that is magnificent.

[Zero]

I think it’s fine as it is now. Base building while a cool feature was highly abused by the gear fear crowd and the people who just wanted a no KOS server. It’s better this way. If you want or need a base make a group and get a prefab. I do think that the doors could use a buff though. It seems too easy to break down a metal door.

This was me. And I contact hoffer and he said it wasn't acceptable and to only use moredoors alone. 

 

Glad to see another admin have a different opinion

 

Can we perhaps get clarity by dayzrp regarding things like this?

Seems to me like people are out and about and actually rping and not just internaling In their bases. I say we leave it how it is. 
 

Also not a full on apocalypse yet in the lore so for people try and start rebuilding wouldn’t make much sense but that’s just me

Does if the rp merits it such as military / bandits move in to remove said peoples defensive arms.  Door no longer would cut it 

 

*to clarify I'm not supporting big fuck off bases, but more so setting defenses at an existing location*
