(because the forum wouldn't let me say another word) Be grateful. I think it's very different and very interesting, It's a shame that I have 0 interest in either faction involved but its a great thing for anyone who does and I for one want to see more of it, of this and of whatever they come up with next. For the mod to survive it needs to be ever-changing.
When that new concept involves afk shooting a stationary object for 9 hours otherwise losing a storyline asset I can understand why people would find it unsettling. The event further solidifies the already community-declared shitshow that is the siege mechanic. Instead of molesting and demoralizing the base owner once, you get to do it multiple times for the same outcome. This changes nothing, so I don't believe the "hey stop moaning like little bitches, this is something new" is warranted.
EDIT: I agree with the concept of a player driven storyline, but not one that revolves around a terrible game mechanic. PoB sieges bring out the worst in people.
