Land Claim Block - Pillar of Light

[zztong]

I tend to leave "show bounds" on at my base which make it easier to see/find. (That's in addition to the compass symbol.) The green bounds though mess with sight. I was wondering if a "pillar of light" my be added as an option. Show bounds is handy for placement. A pillar of light extending from the land claim block and visible to the owner(s) would keep it easy to find.

I like the idea as an option. When building, having the green square makes it far easier to see where the land claim ends, so I wouldn't want to see that go away. But afterwards, having a pillar of light would definitely look nicer if you want to have that visual indicator for where your base is located.

I'd also add to this suggestion that you have the option to enable visibility of the land claim block to all allies, or at least all people in your party. That way everyone in your group can see the base and not just the person who placed the land claim block.

It's not very clear why. The base is clearly visible on the compass, both the bed and the claim block itself.

This is a good point, however the compass can get pretty cluttered and symbols can overlap. For whatever reason, I find it desirable to see an obvious marker as I get close. I would certainly understand if this Pimp Dream were ignored.

It is a preference thing. Not everyone likes to look at the compass. And it's not something that would be hard or time consuming to implement, so it's not a bad suggestion. Also, if you consider my addition to the suggestion, 1) only the person who placed the land claim can see it, and 2) not everyone places bedrolls since not placing one lets you spawn near where you die and some people prefer that (I don't, but some do).

If there is a bed, there will be 2 options for appearance: next to the bed and next to the backpack.

Of course, everyone has their own preferences, but I can recognize my base if I'm nearby, and from afar, a compass is the only option. Therefore, personally, I don't see the point in such a marker.

Only if you have stuff drop of death, which not everyone does. I don't because it is a hassle and does nothing to improve the experience for me.
