i think the game, politically, is very fun at the moment. i think everything going on with the war, with the brewing civil war, with all the little conflicts is fun.
what i do not think is fun is how soft and forgiving the rules are to people who display the ugly IC of strolling into an enemy city for one reason or another.
these people should not be afforded 1v1s. they shouldn’t be afforded the same fair treatment as everyone else. if this is an action you chose to take, the consequences should be severe.
the fact someone can walk into a city with the knowledge they’ll be fine, because they have a busted teraphim build, or busted DR build, and they’ll be able to 1v1 their way back out is insane. we should not stifle conflict, but we should be realistic about it -
in my eyes, this habit of people being allowed to walk into enemy territory without consequences because they’re strong and the rules force 1v1s unless an admin intervenes is not realistic. it’s poor roleplay. i really think there needs to be a rule adjustment to accommodate this. back in the day you would be 6 man ganked with war summons and would have to pass the /flee role or fight - as it should be, because this is enemy territory and you are not afforded the luxury of a series of 1 on 1 brawls. it just makes the entire overarching war feel really tiny and pointless when you have Shadow Teraphim #27 or DR Drakanite #7 waltz in to cause shit and get out without consequence.
this is happening frequently (across every area, not just osrona) and it’s really lousy.
tl;dr adjust the rules so there’s real penalty to just strutting into enemy walls
