Yeah, they will.

It's just one among many aspects of gameplay they will miss out on.

Did you find that attention yet?

Considering my personal preferences in gameplay, it's more a blessing than a downside.

Administrative functions? Nurturing relationships and balancing opposing needs or wants? Drama?

A moment, I'll just yeet myself...

I like to think that when he's making these posts, that it means he's not outside pulling the heads off small animals or something. Got to channel that rage somewhere.

You paint fairly disturbing images for all the display of polite behaviour with which you speak in these forums.
Is this the "civil" side that I should aspire to?
Or was it an attempt at what passes as a joke in the internet?

Chances are 99% of the hardcore players will miss out on mayor gameplay too. That's just to be expected with this system. Lowering the number of nodes, as they did, made it more true. It was probably the right decision to lower the numbers, but mayor gameplay is only going to be relevant for around 0.1-0.5% of the player base, depending on server populations

As for the pulling heads off small animals comment from Davey, well, you come across as very angry and sometimes even toxic in some of your posts George. Maybe it's unintentional and maybe you aren't even aware of this? I don't think you are pulling heads off small animals or anything like that, just to be clear, but you are often very abrasive when you post.

It comes across as quite English to me.

Not making any comment as to whether that is a good or a bad thing, just an observation.

I find it funny that I am considered the toxic one, yet I am on the receiving end of insults, such as being depicted as someone that would do such things, or being labelled as racist etc etc.

99% of the hardcore players will miss out on the mayoral gameplay.
Only 1% will make the mistake to complain about the reality of it.
The casual/solo/completionist crowd on the other hand....
At any rate this topic isnt serious and it's def not worthy of being called such an animal torturer

getting constantly harassed to put this building or that building or having to be online all the time / people crying about some other mayor feature. yea ill pass and play / enjoy the game. if i wanted to play city builder / town management i would go play some simulator game

This thread is clearly meant to be ironic; @George_Black is pointing out that someone will eventually make this nonsense complaint.

Obviously, if someone doesn't have the time and/or inclination to be in a community-lead position such as guild-leader or mayor, then they shouldn't be complaining about not having access to that position's tools/menus/features.

Just pointing this out, because there's always someone on the forums from a culture/country that doesn't understand sarcasm and/or irony. In the same way, the OP is just pointing out that there's always someone who will make a complaint about not having access/opportunity to have control of community-leadership tools and options, when they are a solo/casual player.

"No - I'll NEVER join a guild! Also, it is *so* unfair that I'll never have access to a guild leader's tools/features...."

Hm… mayors seem like an unpaid director level role. More power to folks that want to be a mayor. Sounds like all downside to me.

ClintHardwood

Mayor gameplay is for people without jobs who want to engage in political drama all day. Not for me. I rather just gather loot and riches, that's my thing.

Wait a minute... Are you suggesting George is capable of expressing sarcasm and/or irony?

I always thought it was some form of the stereotypical misrepresentation of Tourette syndrome.

Joking aside, there's always something refreshing about George's bluntness.

George_Black

I always though that /sarcasm was the ez mode of the forum pvp, but in revelation of what some "mature" posters hide inside their brains for their fellow human beings, just because of a different gaming mentality, I might have to hold /sarc up as a tower shield.

It's so ez to think the worst of others when it makes you feel better about yourself, and with how much people have become disincentivized to cruelty and horor, due to the constant memeing for a cheap laugh, some can sink that low as to label someone like that.

The amount of mental gymnastics I am doing instead of telling people off with some simple swear words is turning me to a snowflake, but I dont want to risk a ban so I will pay the cost.

The thing with complaints - when you are developing a product or selling a product you developed - is that you ignore 99% of them.

Businesses like to say that feedback is always valued, but the truth is that it isn't. When a business recieves feedback, they - without fail - assess it to consider whether they think it is valid or not. If they don't think it's valid, they ignore it.

So sure, people absolutely will complain about not having access to mayor based gameplay.

So what?

The fact that those complaints will exist doesn't mean anything. If Intrepid intended mayor based gameplay to only be applicable to a small number of players, those complaints will just be ignored, as they should be.

This also is why I laugh at people that blame game testers or what ever for the state of games. If a tester complains about something, it means nothing at all unless the developer agrees with those complaints.

Who would want an AFK mayor anyway? I want the mayor of whatever node I choose to call home to be on 12+ hours a day so we pump out the upgrades asap

Mayors kinda get paid with special armor and special mounts, etc.

A huge benefit for the guild as well. Having the ability to choose what buildings get built, knowing when their getting built so guild members can stock up ahead of time. Buy out all the iron ingots on the market just before upgrading the blacksmith only to resell at a higher price or use for crafting.

A well run guild will 100% be able to profit from one of their members becoming mayor.
