Territory system as a server ruleset

347 votes

The idea of the territory system sounds great for pvp servers, but I'm worried how limiting the range of the castle to a set territory can impact people like me that primarily play in order to build and decorate a castle.
If the territory system is introduced as a server type or ruleset players could choose whether or not they'd like to use the system.

Agreed! Different server types sounds like a better solution.

Definitely sounds like a must on Official full loots PVP; normal PvP Should probably be split down the middle on settings. Same with PvE.

Yes! The option to build just about anywhere in single player would be great!

The New Territory System unfortunately limits building quite a lot. It would be awesome to get it as a separate Server Setting for PVE Lobbies with friends

Yes, please!!!! I played this game alone on my private server (easy settings) & there I want to create an Vampire EMPIRE!! I want a large castle, if possible even a little village with my servants beside me. AND, I also played the game with my guild on (two) payed server. We are some people on one/two server, but it is a very nice guild (with very nice people) and we had NO problems with eachother blocking roads or ways or whatever.

I loved the possibility to BUILD soo mutch in this game. I build large castles and than beside a wonderful, huge garden with fields, a lake, fountaine, tombs and whatever. I made little houses for my servants. It was incredible fun to integrate the surroundings in my garden somehow. Example: I was sooooo proud when I managend to put my field beside a scarecrow. Now: All of this is gone.

PLEASE: Give us the freedom back to built our private little vampire castles with a garden and all this stuff around. PLEASE!

Castles are severely limited now, I don't do pvp, players like me want to build an epic big castle but can't now. Plots are small, and because you also cant build on the ground in front of your castle you are limited in the creative building of your castle, I get the reasons for it in pvp servers, however in my solo world it does not make sense. The old system was in my opinion better

Yes please, for those who want to build huge castles the territory system is very limiting. Making it an option solves all the issues for everyone.

I heavily agree. I bought V Rising knowing it was a PVPVE-style game and an online-only requirement. That's fine, but I also got it because you can build these fantastic, wild Vampiric castles and enjoy the game in Single-player as a private server, building at your own pace, and there are a lot of lands to be taken, could sprawl your castle far out and just enjoy your time.

The update is great, don't get me wrong and the idea with territories is also neat, but I felt somewhat slapped when they cut up all the best spots into separate pieces just to prevent people from griefing when in turn it just made it more frustrating to build wider, bigger and stunning castles. As some territories are smaller, making my castle look more like a tower than anything.

If we can keep the multi-layer system, but be allowed to turn off the territories, that would be great.

I host a PvE server for my friends and while they enjoy the PvE aspect of the game, building is where I have the most fun. I would love to be able to turn off the territory restriction so I can build between two plots or out onto the road.

I 100% agree, there are several areas where there a 2-4 build areas with a nice area inbetween. Our group each built in 1 build area but we'd love a common area in between them, but you cant build down into the little field in between them.

No Anime!!! SHOO!!!
Agree, for pvp servers or full loot servers this option should stay default, however PvE servers should be able to be freed from it.

I knew the issues with pvp servers locking out owners so they couldnt get out, yet however as a admin ruleset it can be REALLY useful if someone abuses the feature on blocking access to other castles :D

As someone who loved to play V Rising as a co-op game with two friends, we really want this ability back.
We got back onto the game to tryout this update; and as we do recognize why the building restrictions were put in place for moderated servers, as a small private friends-only server we definitely **do not** benefit from this territory system> It restricts what we can do in the game and restricts what we can do together.

Another note is that this territory system update feels very backwards to players like us. Games that do updates and take things away from you is not a good idea!
We may not even experience all the new content you've worked so hard for in this update, purely because of how we are told to play the game instead of how we want to play it. ( Make it optional! )

I'm sure there are plans for the far future with PvE events interacting with castle grounds, but that's still not a good enough reason to limit us today. (and I'm sure there are other ways to resolve that too)

A toggle for the old border system would be cool. Especially on private servers. Me and my friend made a base, then later on we realized it's too small, and if we just had the option to connect 2 plots of land it would be GG, but since we can't anymore. We need to move the WHOLE castle to a new location now.

Absolutely. The new system is incredibly limiting and wipes out what was a wonderful freedom of choice and design. While the new system does limit griefing, it also cripples cooperation and creativity. Let each server community decide for itself.

I would like to be able to build bridges to castles on cliffs in adjacent territories(like south of the racetrack), or even separate territories in areas over waterfalls or isolated islands on top of mountains.

This was a surprising change coming back into the game after a while. Def would be nice to build out alongside the roads like I could last time I played.

I don't care if there are designated spots but I would love for there to be at least a way to connect close platforms to each other instead so I can decorate the connecting bits.

If ANYONE else of you here desires more places for Castles in general, do not forget to check out this idea please! 😎

Yes please. The way you guys were able to change the engine to where you can have up to six floors was absolutely insane, but the loss of being able to expand outside of the pre-set plateaus was devastating. I can't create a large elaborate garden area unless I give up a significant chunk of the land and refuse to build above it. I understand why this was implemented in terms of public servers, but please give us the option of removing this limitation on our own servers as it severe limits creativity.

Agree and bumping. Please add the ability to set this on server creation. Those of us who play with only a few friends primarily PvE do so with the intent to build and this change severely limited that. The new areas - especially the ones right next to each other - are way too limiting and sap the vision from grand designs.

Yes or at least an option to link territories/adjacent castles between clan/self! I think that would help solve the issue bc there are so many “territories” butted against each other but you can’t make them one castle even if you can claim both territories with a heart.

Please put this back as an option for private servers at least. Tiny castles are no fun. :(
