PoB Siege Mechanics

[Laz]

Players. A lot of them.

Edit: This is best summarised by my comment in one of my Discord servers:

Hey Laz
My opinion on PoB Changes.
Remove this cancer.
Just freaking remove it, ever since they came to existance, no year passed without several massive dramas only about pobs and the way people abused them to troll people or got trolled for building a pob. Otherwise make them unavailable to the huge majority, have them require an official faction, would also boost the value of being official, which, to be honest, holds zero value for any faction not being a house military or OC/Sairs/Hessians atm.

The problem is Discovery was made with this cancer. Moulded by it. Ultimately, I agree. Yet a flat out removal is just not on the cards, so I have to make them less cancer. Treat it rather than amputate, you dig?

It is not my decision to make such drastic changes, but through my own development choices and designs, I can make certain options more preferable, and therefore more likely to get in.

It's an odd position. I have all the power, and yet at the same time, none at all. Without me there will be no rework, but with no rework, we stick to the current system.

I am of the mind to get as many people agreed as possible. I don't want to shimmy people to have my own views and force my own ideas on the dev team. I want everyone, players, devs, and admins, to agree. Now ofc that's not entirely possible, but some is better than none.

Let really explain what I am saying here. PoBs are, as the others have said, not really meant for this game. It was not meant by the original developers, but this is what we have to work with. I am all for adding new mechanics, but this one causes problems. It's been a part of Discovery so long now, we simply can't remove them without having irreparable damage.

Since the moment I got the devs on board with my rework and changes, I've done my own thing, yet told them whenever I added something new and why I did it. I want to make sure everyone is on board and agrees, just as I said in the OP of this thread; the same rule applies here.
