I’m with CrazyPirate here. I believe the list of seigeable blocks needs to remain very small. The purpose of seige is to kill and loot. Not to grief. If you add all slabs and all stairs to that list youre builds on the server are going to go down immensely in quality. It’s the slabs and the stairs and the fences and the walls that add the necessary detail to make a good build become exceptional.
Furthermore, if you add little things like plants to the list, you aren’t achieving anything. A poppy has never stopped me from getting to another player. Most plants you can move through anyways. So all you would achieve by making them seigeable is that when a player gets seiged, and is safe inside his house, the Seiger will proceed to tear out all his landscaping, yard, and build details out of anger that he can’t get to the player, which is costing that player potentially dozens of hours of work. Not to mention seige still doesn’t have a timer of 20 minutes like before. It’s a neverending free for all of grief if the player is safe.
Yes, this is a PVP server. But we are just as much about the pride of our builds. As a builder primarily, to lose slabs and stairs would devastate me.
Finally, there are many players who have preexisting builds that use a lot of slabs stairs etc because they wanted a good looking build. Some of these players do not get on anymore but once in a blue moon. IF the decision is made to change the seigeable block list, which I hope it doesn’t, the new list needs to be announced, and players will need time to edit their builds before the change is implemented. This change would take me approx 12 hours of gameplay if you add slabs and stairs to the list. I have an entire build made out of cobble stone slab so that it was diverse and different.
So all this goes to say, unless you want to ruin a lot of the gorgeous builds on the server, have our griefing complaints increase tenfold, and want us all to live in stonebrick boxes, I urge you all to PLEASE consider the builders and exercise restraint when considering adding blocks to the seigeable list.
