HOWEVER!
As with player-armor, there will likely be buffs that you can see, when targeting the Caravan wagon. Noobs always assume that visual-identification is best, because it sounds good, on-paper - but in the heat and chaos of an active fight, it's actually quite hard to make reliable visual identifications.
Also? We don't know for certain that the customizations *won't* be specifically made, for each "mask" applicable to a Caravan. It sounds like a LOT of work - but at the same time, it's to-be a major element of the AoC gameplay, so it *is* possible that they'll include customizations across-the-board, for the Caravan wagons. As SS mentions in the livestream, their staff is a LOT bigger now, than it was a few years ago, when we got the very first look.
I suspect that the masks will only be applicable to certain levels of the Caravan wagons, though; If it's not powerful enough, then default appearance will probably be more the norm.
I think they mentioned that caravans dont have collision with other caravans.
Okay thank you.
i'll try to the find the time for the exact details. but it may just be like caravans wont have collision with other caravans while on roads?
Might make sense in terms of traffic...
Intrepid already has plans for visual “threat assessment” UI tools for enemy player characters … regardless of what that character is wearing.
Not only is it not relevant to a P2W discussion … there are other threads on the subject (if you do a Forums search).
If you have several in an event, I don't see why they wouldn't have collision though, other wise players would just stack them and stack the abilities lol. I imagine the wreckage from the destroyed caravan is collision as well.
yeah, that's my point. I thought everything has collision...if two ships smash into each other i hope damage occurs to one or both ships unless one is a trireme lol.
That would be pretty cool. I don't see the sea having a shared road for a buff lol. I imagine trolls would make ramming fleets though but who knows especially considering if naval ships are expensive.
EDIT:
maybe the smaller ships wont be able to ram as efficient. But could be interesting with naval blockades as well.
I used to play a star trek game. I think it was called 'Fleet Commander' but I could be mistaken. In the PvP scenarios you'd select ships to duel other players with. I always chose the Klingon Stealth Ship or the Federation Transport Ship and would just ram the enemy ships until we both blew up. Was terrific times.
lol, that's the spirit. all part of the experience
He is exaggerating a issue to try to call it pay to win. The same issue (to him it isn't to me atm) that can occur if one earns cosmetics in game and does the same thing.
I am no match for your Mithridacy Skill today...
I feel like some of these are made up scenarios in attempt to prove your point. First off if this caravan has special abilities and you have a shot caller it should be readable and not just by what it looks like. If they click on it if that is what is intended. (though i have 0 issue not knowing).
Second why do you think you are going to be able to see what abilities it has, and the abilities equipped are going to change the look of the caravan? I high doubt you are going to read the element of a caravan so you know exactly what to do and make it easier to destroy them. (also making more work that they need to add a decor in the right place for all caravans or create new types that is 100* the work for no reason that won't be a thing)
This is what I mean by you are making up a non issue, you are adding your own fiction to it to create a issue that doesn't exist in attempt to say it is P2W.
You can see in my post above i answer him.
Cargo is represented in this way even if a cosmetic caravan skin has been applied to the caravan.[2]
But if i buy 4 accounts am i more p2w ;o
I mean, firstly a big issue I see with the argument is that, we are going off of assumptions. It could just as easily be that each segment is altered to your skin, but clicking on the caravan gives you it's stats. It could also be a base skin, where the tier upgrades such as the added defenses are added onto which make tier differences obvious from the get go.
But also, even if we assume that the upgrades are completely hidden and that they all look like the lowest tiered or even the highest tiered caravans, I fail to recognize the issue. The thing that would stop you taking over a caravan, or knowing if the caravan is worth anything, wouldn't be the caravan itself. It would be those accompanying the caravan. The caravan cannot fight you, nor can it run away without someone, so if you have a caravan that is surrounded by a tonne of heavily armoured people then I would take a good guess and say it is a higher value target.

He was trying to make the point that the way the caravan looks you could meta game what skills they are using. But nothing shown indicates skills change the look of the caravan.
And the most important thing for players is having a base knowledge of its worth, which will be shown on all caravans skin or no skin.
Issue to me is players jumping int he game and expecting to know meta of what they are using and make a plan instantly. Like let the game come out lmao.
Have you seen the finished caravan skins at the end of beta to make such an analysis?
Time Machines are 3rd party advantage.
is there a TARDIS skin coming soon?
My cousin ate a whole tardis cake once and his shit turned blue for a week.
lol sounds about right, though I pictured more of a green tone consider the bile colour (yellow + blue = green)
maybe we'll get some Dalek mounts to pull the TARDIS
