Fix turf hopping!
Forums › Suggestions & Feedback › Fix turf hopping!-
Turf hopping needs tone fixed or an alternative made. This game gets stale when you're in an area where the only challeneging sized mobs are allies.

I always wonder if turf hopping over these great distances was envisioned when the game was created.
Whether or not it was, is beside the point now, because it's here to stay.
So something needs to be done to make it more workable. But it's not TW software that is causing the problems. It's the geocoder people. So maybe we need to start a mass mail campaign against them?

👍👍👍👍👍
Turf hopping is an INTREGAL part of building and expanding. IMHO for the majority of players this is the only means of "travel" and expanding.When you have even Major INTERSTATE Highways NOT being recognized this is a problem that needs to be addressed. It is in no way logical that programming to disallow planting turfs on water should have ANY affect on planting turfs on any roads and HWYS on land!!
Just last night I tried to plant turf at Disneyland and guess what?!? It would NOT let me!!🙎🙎 Just giving me the INCORRECTLY WORDED red ban msg.
And this does Not just benefit larger players! This allows smaller players to get out of crowded areas and have a chance to build up before coming into a war zone. -

Ok. The mew upgrade is a start but we need a little more to pass deadzones

Guess no one else cares that we are all stuck in one place.

I'm curious why you can't take another route to Vegas? Go out of northern cali go east, even to seattle then go east? Sure it might be way out of the way but surely it can be possible. I live on long island, but I now have turfs in 5 states all from turf hopping. My ultimate goal is to make it to both Vegas, and Cali.

The east coast is far more densely populated and has far more people contributing info to the databases.
Vegas is in the middle of the desert, and far less info in the databases. They are being slowly updated as more people in the area are able to atart providing info, but hopping to vegas, or anywhere across the southwest or any other sparsely populated area is going to be difficult.
The geocoder is not a turf wars issue, and not something the devs can readily fix. And apple is only making it worse:

That's why I say just dump the geocoder. It just causes more problems than it's worth. And as far as iknow there's no hoppable way out of socal. I may as well be on an island

Here's an idea... New loot item plane ticket. Gives u a turf in a turf populated area somewhere in the world?

I've checked the 15, 10 and 40 hwys and all are blocked by wide areas that are not recognized. They are too wide even if you stack maps.

It's obvious that the geocoder is inaccurate, thereby useless. All it does is hinder game play.
If the Police Maps allowed forced plants of turfs irregardless of geocoder reading that would allow hopping over black holes. Either that or remove the geocoder if that is the only thing blocking hop capability. It is only an hinderance and limits the scope of the game. -

You better be smiling when you say that.

I agree. Although I don't have much of a problem ATM, I can see myself having trouble hopping to London or any other place I want to outside my area. So I'm gonna wait and travel in RL to those places if I do.

yeah. I did. But at the same tine our situations are very similar. The difference is I don't have to travel as far and socal beats Hawaii by about 1000 active players or so but that still doesn't mean I'm in ideal conditionsBelial wrote: I may as well be on an island

This is still am issue. Now more than ever as was proven by the use of the map exploit
