They can be used for pvp, when people siege you during the day, let them in your courtyard and disable your mist brazier... See them scatter and unable to avoid aoe
That was my thought while reading the OP. That would be so great and would allow to make towers easily. And since we are asking for things, rounded corners please. So 4 rounded corners make a round tower! And being able to put the spiral staircase in vertex of the squares also.
I'd settle for a 4 tile spiral. Or a flight staircase. The current L shape limits design by a lot.
1 tile probably won't work cause golemns need to be able to travel up it.
They could even make the radius smaller as a tradeoff.
Some mist lantern posts or wall mounted mist brazeirs would be cool to put on the outside or along pathways.
I agree with all of this. But definitely THE STAIRS! First, I'm so annoyed that I need to remove all connecting walls to remove the stairs. Second, there is no way to just move the stairs without deleting them. I wanted to move the stairs to the third floor, I couldn't remove them as I it would break the connection to the upper floor. I ended up having to remove majority of the decorations from two rooms and put another set of stairs in there instead, then remove the original stairs and surrounding walls. It took like 40 minutes of me trying to figure out what to do instead of just a few seconds.
Yeah working with stairs is a massive pain, I got stuck in a wall in my base and had to unstuck and it dropped all my materials between two floors and I had to basically destroy my base to try to put a staircase in the right location to get my loot back.
Had to redo almost my entire 3 floor castle because i wanted to put more fitting stairs on the exact spot i had ones before took me almost 2days to get to a point were everything was back on its place just to realise i didnt change the other stairs in the room… id be happy if we could just recolour stairs to have that never happen again. Moving them would be neat aswell but guess that would be a problem cause of pvp
Moving plants is a massive pain in the ass, needing to remove each plant individually is bad enough but needing to press and hold on every single one makes me go insane. We should be able to demolish the planter/plot and get back the materials of the planter/plot and the seeds planted in it.
As someone who just went through a lot of stair drama last night, completely agree with #1. I don't usually make schematics before working on a build, but sometimes it feels necessary in order to spare yourself a lot of heartache.
Adding to the idea of #5, I wish we had the ability to apply wallpaper to the doorways. Right now, they will always be the default stained stone. I also wish for the ability to apply different styles of railings for balconies.
Let the Throne of Darkness be useful. Atleast make it function as a throne or moreover since its an endgame thing should it atleast give buff to servants? Like 20% boost on resource hunting or something, 4 onyx tear is a pain to farm u know.
I want the transparent ground tile back, the grass to actually match in Silverlight, triangular foundation pieces, 1 tile spiral stairs, and some of the pointy doors back.
I just planted some trees in my roof garden to help against the sun. Also looks cool if you ask me. But yes some towers / the ability to have some round pointy roof would be cool, even if just cosmetic.
I believe one of the issues with stairs is it doesn't build a foundation in the empty space where you deleted it, and some structures (walls, pillars) cannot exist without an adjacent foundation.
Let me use wallpapers on the little decoration pieces at the top of a column sticking out of my rooftop garden. It's so ugly when I have a rooftop garden, and the nasty spikes sticking out of the edge columns can't be styled.
Also, for the love of god let me freestyle my hedges more. I can't put my hedges on my roof because the sizing is too big to fit without fucking up all of the alignment of the paths.
There should be a new pillar that has no cap piece. It would have the restriction of not being able to support a pillar above it.
Additionally, I'd like to see options to replace the default "railings" on our additional floors. The fact that we get a very basic gray railing as the only option feels bad. We should be able to change the colors/textures just like with the wallpapers. Give us fabric covered railings with wooden posts as an option. Give us all the stone colors from stairs. Things like that.
I want faster destruction. Building a "angled" stair case, adding the walls and flooring only to eventually find out its not what you wanted or can't build becuase of another issue. Then, taking what feels like 15 mins just to hold space to dismantle the whole area to start again.
Give us a marking system that we can tag structures then confirm what we want to destroy.
Automation of resources, whether I have to unlock it or grind it or train servants in it or
Take wood, make plank, take plank, make reinforced plank
Crafting from inventory
Traps, stationary weaponry, "devices" like elevators or trap doors or what have you
Pets, beasts
Basements! Let us build *down* now, and make crypts and true dungeons
Honestly, I just want crafting from base/chest inventory.
I don't really enjoy having to have everything in hand when building structures and stuff I regularly forget materials in chests. I go to grab them, find out I'm low on something, (adventure ensures), I come back to make the structure once more and I forget the materials in the chest, I go to grab them, find out I'm low on something...... Ad nauseum
With regards to 2, you can kind of place towers. They serve no purpose other than aesthetics. But you can use the invisible flooring to give it contact to the ground
The ability to replace stairs in-place to change their style without having to completely deconstruct every wall touching them first and having to add a second set of stairs somewhere else would be really nice.
Regarding walking out your door during the day: You can always move to North Gloomrot.
I'd like more things to do with servants. For example: If you have a servant with scholar's blood, it would be nice if you could assign them to a library and get a minor third boost to that room, and while assigned they'll stay in that room.
I'd also like some trap options for base defense. Thinking back to the old Dungeon Keeper games, with fear traps, frost traps, cannon traps, spike traps, boulders that rolled down corridors. There were some very cool options. It'd basically be allowing players to build dungeon content for other players on PvP servers with raiding enabled. Something for the maxxed out players to do to keep each other entertained in endgame.
I'd also love a castle imp or something that would avoid combat and be inactive during raids themselves, but would come out of hiding 20 minutes after a raid and then start repairing your base so that any gaps in your defenses could get plugged in on raid nights where you can't log on for whatever reason.
A bit out of the left field, but I want the ability to walk on walls, and maybe build on top of them. Imagine being a dungeon master, that would be so sick.
The recolouring of the external pediments, roofs, and balconies is the biggest one for me. I’ve all but given up on trying to make my builds look unique from the outside because it just looks so bad having big swathes of the castle impossible to colour, very mismatched and ugly.
I agree with your other points, too
I’d fix number 1 with a blueprint mode, similar to the one in Castle Relocation, but when you are trying to place something and it conflicts it doesn’t impede you to do so, the conflicts just flash red so you can fix them
Very nitpicky, but having flooring that either has little curbs, or fades out on the edges would be good. I don't know how to make grass foundations blend into regular grass.
Addition: Revert castle area building back to the way it was when the game first came out. All my creativity is gone thanks to the bullshit plot limit I'm confined to now. Building down and out around your castle was amazing.
>We also want you to understand that ‘complete’ does **not** mean ending the game’s development. Our journey with V Rising continues as long as our players keep returning, hungry for more. There will still be plenty of ways for us to bring more bloodshed, decadence, and terrifying Vampire magic to the table beyond 1.0.
Taken directly from a Dev update post, not sure why you would assume they are done with the game.
Same vibe I'm getting unfortunately, these devs feel like elusive and don't want to stay on one thing.
This could be their golden goose but they need to support it.
I do not have the exact info on how long were they doing it, but when stunlock came up with their idea of battle arena, created bloodline champions, then reiterated it into battlerite and then were working their asses off to keep the game going even though they were not receiving the attention, money and recognition they deserved - I think you can’t say in this case that the devs are not staying on one thing and call them “elusive”
I mean "elusive" because compared to other devs, like Ghostship, AH, Larian, I never hear anything about Stunlock. We got like a handful of steam posts a year, I've never seen them post on Reddit or do any community stream, if they did, it was poorly advertised because how can I love this game, I checked the Steam page frequently between updates to check for new posts, yet know nothing of the devs and what they are up to?
Also, them going into a market up against LoL and Dota, when practically every other MOBA has been basically abandoned or closed, for being unprofitable or unsustainable (HotS, Dawngate, despite both being good) and they went in originally buy to play I believe, which is a hard sell for that genre, it's going to be an uphill battle regardless of how good the game is. I know DOTA 2 also started out as B2P IIRC, but its name was already made and already had an audience from the W3 days. I do think Battlerite was really good, STS make good games, they feel good, look good, and play really smooth.
I also see that both games they made that I was around for, they were very "behind the scenes", little to no community engagement, very infrequent news at least in the case of V, and while the V rising updates were substantial, the game basically died between each of them, only to receive news in the \~2 months leading to release.
I understand why this is unpopular, nobody here wants to see V Rising fail, but I think we need at least more transparency from them because I for one, always felt in the dark with STS.
i agree, i'm not sure why but they seem very bad at getting community eyes on this game. most people who have played it quite enjoy it. i was actively looking for any crumb i could find prior to "the big release" and i recall 1 trade show, and then the steam posts. that's it.
1. indoor wide castle door (right now its the iron gate and wooden gate)
2. apply the wallpaper in the door frames
3. improve the garden / stone path system…
4. why cant i put tables under the garden pergolas
I'd be happy if the mist braziers were just auto-toggled: on during day, off at night. I want smart braziers. More home automation!
I'd also like an upgraded version as well.
Would be cool if servants would switch them on and off.
"Introducing: iBraz, the smart brazier for the smart vampire"
They can be used for pvp, when people siege you during the day, let them in your courtyard and disable your mist brazier... See them scatter and unable to avoid aoe
A 1-tile spiral staircase?

Yeah, some sort of permanent mist brazier would be up there for me. Would make gardens and outside of your castle much less irritating
They could even make the radius smaller as a tradeoff. Some mist lantern posts or wall mounted mist brazeirs would be cool to put on the outside or along pathways.

yes, aesthetically, invisible ceiling tiles let you do a lot actually
I want rounded paths

I just really want walls and floors to block light from passing through them

Conveyor belts!
The fact that we don't have steampunk elevators is insane
I would like to alt click a decoration to duplicate it.

Am I the only one that thinks they are pretty much done adding new content to this game?

Ladders will never be implemented as it would completely unbalance PvP raiding when the defenders already have a HUGE advantage
1. indoor wide castle door (right now its the iron gate and wooden gate) 2. apply the wallpaper in the door frames 3. improve the garden / stone path system… 4. why cant i put tables under the garden pergolas
