Rare turf loot... "Landmark"

Suggestion: New Turf Loot (named something like "ghost" or "fort" or "landmark")
Some of us like to travel and plant a turf on vacation. This RARE loot item will make the turf permanent, unable to be capped, and unusable. The loot item makes it a permanent stamp or landmark. The loot cannot be unequipped, and the turf cannot be changed or used offensively (either for attacking from, or building and hopping from). It can only be destroyed by the owner.
This turf loot would be rare, and could not be used in the immediate vicinity (adjacent) to another such equpped turf. This limitation would prohibit the creation of small islands or safe havens for live and usable turfs.
This is really just for geeks.

So if you had a turf at/near the Statue of Liberty and used the "landmark loot" I would not be able to have a turf at/near the Statue of Liberty with a " landmark loot"?
-
Not immediately adjacent. Correct. If the turf radii touch, then one, or a group of mobsters, could encircle some live turfs to protect them offensively.
These are rare loot items. Go ahead and try to maintain a turf at the Statue of Liberty now. It'll be capped in a few days.
Try to plant a turf at the White House now. You can't. Same at any major landmark now, huge mobsters will just take it.
But let's just say you want to keep a turf when you go to Santorini, Greece on a vacation. That's a one time opportunity. Plant a few, and keep one there as a permanent "landmark."
I know this is a wargame, but I also know some players get attached to some of their turfs. I would have liked to have kept my very first turf, but it's long gone.

Well it then becomes a case of first come first serve? Lots and lots of people vacation in Los Angeles at Disneyland or Cancun Mexico. Your suggestion could still prevent some players from having "landmarks"... Yes?
-
if the turf has no creation radius, i like the idea
-
How would it work if it's a turf loots. Because if it takes a normal turf and makes it a landmark turf then can't you just have the turfs touching then add it? Maybe if you equipped it like a toolbox then the next turf you plant is a landmark turf? Otherwise not a bad idea. Mark places you've been more like an accomplishment like if you made a long hop or something.
+1 👍

How about everyone gets just one? They can equip it to whatever turf they desire and re-equip it.
-
So you are all in favor of never evicting an enemy?. Give them a permanent base of Operations where they are fighting you?

If I'm reading correctly, you can equip the "landmark" loot to a turf but you can never use it for anything. No hopping from it or using it to cap anyone close enough to it. If I equip the loot to a turf I can't plant another one directly beside it, which means I can't block off an area and keep it safe.So you are all in favor of never evicting an enemy?.

Gotcha
-
I kinda like this idea. the landmarks would need to exist only to you maybe...not be part of the normal map so there would be no chance of congestion or blocking an area out. in the normal map you wouldn't see them, maybe a geocache map or list. it's not part of war at all. just a personal touch for your profile.
-
Deicide, that would be a great idea! Making the landmark turf one that shows only on ones profile would be great. There's no rush to gain a status symbol, and no impact on others. The important thing would be that it cannot offer any game advantage. Once equipped, the turf is "permanently out of play."
Lol... Perhaps nick could sell these in batches of ten! I'd prefer to gain them as rare turf loot, but they could be ones you actually purchase too.
-
I certainly hope this gets ignored. What a hassle to program, assuming this turf would also not give you the 1000 mile Vendetta support, or prevent you from getting a travel discount... Devs would need to reprogram just about every characteristic of a "turf" so that it has no bearing on a "turf war."
Take a screen shot of your phone, or a picture of the place. Plant a munzee, whatever, there's a thousand other ways you can use your phone to document your vacation, without turning turf wars into your personal globe with thumb tacks.
-
i might agree with the programming. i don't know what it would take to make it happen. another tab or button to have a geocache map instead of the normal map? sounds tough. they would not need to reprogram anything because it's NOT part of your normal maps or turfs in anyway what so ever. this tab or sheet is just in your profile, no one else sees it. another row or column in a database, a landmark button on your profile, and a seperate map that opens your turf from that extra column in the database..... doesn't sound that hard.
it could be don points only. no loot. if you are on vacation someonwhere, the option to spend $5-$10 and add a geocache or landmark turf to your profile would be nice. while i believe it's easy enough to do, chucky is right , there is other options out there. i think something like that is even in facebook. it could also give people a reason to keep opening the app that have lost their way.... keeping people around and have them spend ...... hmmmm

Raise your hand if you think nick is smarter than zuckerberg ✋.
-
the more i think about it the easier it seems. the value of it is the question. most of the work is already in the game. copying a button or tab and assigning a new map to it??? the map reading from a new line in the database. and don't even need a new page for a map, the map is already there. just a button on the top left of the screen, not by the plus sign. click the button and it only shows your landmark turfs. new map or same map with more functionality, either way i don't think it's a hard mod to do. it comes back to, is it worth it to nick?
-
I like it
-
Sounds ok. The only problem I see is that you could technically place a larg turf in the middle of a flower and put the landmark on it, making it an invincible loot turf.
-
again... it would not be part of the normal map, it would have no impact or influence on the other map, every turf player could claim the exact same location because it's only local to their profile. no one else would see it. and it could never be used on the normal map.
-
imagine looking at the map and seeing turf, then clicking on a "globe" button or something and all the turf disappearing execpt if you have a landmark turf there. if not , click the plus sign and place your landmark. when you unclick the button the normal map returns and you can't see your landmark or on the normal map a little flag appears for your landmark. you can't do anything with it, it's just there to let you know you have a landmark. or it could be totally invisible and only accessible or seen from the landmark screen. either way it doesn't impact normal turf. you could still be capped out of the area. your landmark doesn't save you. it's just for a person touch, something to keep you coming back and something to put a little money into.
-
I would do it. i don't mind spending the little extra and i've always liked the one in facebook but i don't really use facebook enough to take advantage of it. if it was built into turfwars i would use it alot and maybe share my list with others.
-
there would be no turf hopping and planting one either, that would defeat the purpose. you could only create the landmark within the radius of your gps location. so you have to actually be there to claim the landmark.
-
I see. I apologize for my misunderstanding.
-
i admit this is out of place for war game, but would be a nice added feature. i like keeping things streamline and not bloating software especially beyond it's purpose. and filling this request might open doors for other none war related garbage. but the geek in me likes it and i travel for work so it would be nice to have some landmarks in the game that aren't part of a war or that will get erased one way or another.
-
I like the idea.
-
still like this one
