Anything that goes over the timer is automatically removed. If you happen to be there right when it goes into demolish you can do it yourself, but if you run out of render range and come back, it will be gone. Had a single foundation with a loom on it sitting in the middle of the woods in lawless. 10 day timer hit for the foundation. Loom still had 30 days, blinked and it was gone.

 

Have logged in and out several times the last two days, foundations are sill up with decay timer expired.  Went to a different island and back, still there.  Clicked it and manually attempted to destroy, nothing happens.     So yea, another broken mechanic

Even with the notification that you can destroy foundations in Lawless, still cannot?  If it's abandoned long enough for the timer to go down, we should be able to clear it out no matter what is built on it.

In preface, I am a patient gamer, I don't complain about much at all and generally go with the flow and adjust my play style to the rule set and mechanics presented at the time...  Hell, I've stuck around with my other game for the last 12 years through every expansion and the game changes every other year lol....

I have played many games over the years and I honestly cannot think of a single one that penalizes you for not doing end game content.    Before the argument starts, there is a difference between getting the rewards for end game content, and actually punishing players for not participating in said content.  A permanent debuff forced on players because they can't or don't want to do certain content is not very smart.

Forcing every player to spend the time traveling to a FOY, and then basically zerging a cave a dozen times to click an item that we hope is still there is not fun.  If you want this mechanic in the game it should be a choice.  Those that choose to do it get rewarded, those that don't, don't get punished for it.  That seems fair.

At least give us  viable alternatives, I don't want to have to go through this every month, it takes away time from doing things in game that I actually enjoy, or are useful in my own progression as I see fit.  Please listen to your players, this is a bad mechanic of the game and should not be forced upon us.  If I have to chose between playing a debuffed character that I have up to level 57 so far, and all content just got harder because I chose not to do some content, or starting a new character ....  I will chose neither and move on to a different game....   I have a feeling I'm not the only one not willing to start all over every month....

I understand you already have my money and 400+hours of my time so far, so nothing I say about leaving the game matters, but I hope this mechanic is under  consideration and at least being talked about.
