       Land Claim Offline Modifier (18.3)

       I know we've waited years for TFP to address the bug of the LCB
       offline modifier not functioning properly.
       They have recently released notes about build 18.3 EXP that has
       specific changes to address LCB offline modifier settings. It
       seems like the right opportunity to try to test that to make
       sure it finally works as advertised. Since they are specifically
       calling that setting out, if we reported it as not working in
       the bug thread of that specific build it seems like they might
       finally notice it.
       And then, assuming that the bug finally IS fixed, it would open
       up the possibility of preferred settings for GZ servers since
       that could materially change/improve gameplay for PVP in the
       south.
       I'm sure there are a wide variety of opinions on the subject.
       Mine is that the biggest factor against PVP is the fact that
       most base raiding only occurs when the owner of the base being
       raided is offline. It's the "vacation penalty" no matter how you
       design a base, there isn't a way to keep raiding players out of
       it if you are taking your family on a 4 day vacation. A
       dedicated looter with unlimited time can always overcome any
       base design. No real skill involved--simply a question of having
       more time to kill than someone else.
       On the other hand, I've always thought that if you are
       brave/skilled enough to break into a player base while that
       player is online, you've definitely earned whatever you manage
       to loot.
       I'd be in favor of LCB settings that were infinite while
       offline, but zero while online.
       Changes the nature of PVP, encourages player interaction,
       eliminates the vacation penalty.
       In previous builds, the bug kept us from even considering this
       as a setup, but if they finally have fixed it, it might be worth
       having the conversation?

       I saw that too.  Agree 100%.
       We'll take a look when it hits stable.
