Tiritto Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hello everyone, I have few questions about oil pumps on official Ragnarok servers (possibly SE as well): 1. Is it allowed to block someone's oil pump by building pillars in close proximity, making oil pump owner unable to build around it? 2. Is it allowed to build metal block structure around the oil pump in order to prevent other players from reclaiming them? (oil pumps are supposed to expire after 48h) 3. Is it allowed to replace expired oil pump with your own if given oil pump was inside someone's base that has not expired yet? 4. If the answer for the 3rd question is "Yes", is it allowed for the original base owner to block an access to the oil pump, preventing its new owner from accessing it? 5. If the answer for the 1st and 4th question is "Yes", is it allowed to block someone's oil pump in order to prevent him from accessing it regardless of the location? 6. If the answer for any of those above questions was "No", does it mean I can report such a person? 7. Assuming I managed to claim expired oil pump and I want to build few structures in close proximity to it. Is the previous owner obligated to remove his old structures?

Guest DJRone89 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 You should probably specify which game mode you’re on; PvE or PvP, though I’d assume PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without reading the code of conduct I’m fairly confident that points 1 and 2 would break the rules, where as the others would come down to the GM’s discretion. There’s no harm in reporting an issue if you have genuine concern, just make sure you are thorough and can provide reasonable evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiritto Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 One of my problems is the fact that I claimed some expired pump close to someone's base. I am not a jerk so I always leave my pumps unlocked so other people can use it as well. Sadly, this person used this fact to take advantage over me and built a box around that pump so I can't access it anymore. How can I even prove that inside was my pump at any point? They expire after just 2 days, so it might be gone before I even get a reply from support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecandbuttons Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 you cant place a pillar if someone else pillars close to the pump. You cannot block pumps on PVE and I don't believe you are allowed to build structures over it either. You would need to make a ticket and see what happens.

Can you direct me to where someone from WC has said that you cant block pumps or build structures over them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Wouldnt this be similar to the element crafting stations on Aberration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the element crafting stations on Aberration require a structure to be placed on them, one that starts out locked by default that only the owner can use, thereby locking all others out of accessing it? Then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmedfataka Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 yeah allways have a piller near it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntflo1 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I would think that if it was not allowed they would make it so structures cannot go near the pumps or nodes like they did with the supply crates. You could always do the pillar beside it but if you arent gonna be playing enough to keep up the timers, you'll just be blocking so others can't get oil.

brenon45 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Even if another tribe pillars next to it, the oil pump isnt blocked by normal structure restrictions. Meaning of some one buildings a big base around an oil node, ANY ONE CAN PLACE A PUMP ON IT!... But its seen as good ethics to always unlock them for PVE players.

Paroxyde Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Like gas pump on Aberration. There are no clear rules about it and thus depends on the person in charge of your ticket. Mods deal with it at their own discretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the coc PvE Specific Griefing Game Blocking - you are not allowed to block other tribes from playing the game on PvEservers. This can include but is not limited to: Blocking access to important resources (ie. charge nodes, gas nodes, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
