Ocuvigil telling you when you are getting griefed

1) Except it's not though, and the addition of Water Balloons just erased any challenge with Fire.

 

2) As for characters, nobody will ever have a damn clue why they did it.

1) Prove it/explain!

2) Agreed.

Characters...Woodie was mostly PvP from the sound of it at the time. I hope Woodie gets back some level of better defense/attack in were-beaver form though. It should be able to fight, it's a big scary beaver monster.
Willow was half PvP and half grief, though it did nothing to change the latter.
Anti-grief stuff should be separate from character changes, I think most people are in agreement there.

 

Rather than an alarm...the Ocuvigil is supposed to give you vision of the area it's in, right? All it gives at the moment is map vision. What if clicking the icon on the map gives you direct vision centered on the Ocuvigil? With a button to leave that view and go back to your character. That would give it a use for both newly-joined and longer-term players.
When in character view, if players are in the area that would be shown by the Ocuvigil, show their icon on the edge of the screen, like if they're nearby.
It'd be awesome, fitting for what it's supposed to do, and wouldn't be too intrusive. Doubles for the purpose of the alarm; icons would show when anyone enters the area, so if you really want, you can see what they're doing.

Obviously wouldn't work in other shards, but you can't see it on the map in other shards anyway. Can be explained of interference by the ground, like Telelocator staves/Foci, I guess.

The idea is that when a players sneaks on your base and starts hammering everything you notice it,obiuosly if a friend tells you that he's going to hammer something you don't need to be alerted by the message.

The message might be a little bit annoying tho,maybe you could deactivate it for a while by clicking on the message or something.

How does the system know it's some griefer sneaking and not me or another friend helping out?

That's my point. AI won't handle this.

The Ai does not need to know it,simply have your friend telling you that he's going to do it. Its not like it will shot a laser similar to houndius shootius and instakill him,it will simply send you a message.

If the message is about someone that told you he was going to hammer/burn something and you let them do it you don't have to worry,but if it is about that players that has been suspiciusly looking at your alchemy engine with a hammer/torch on his hand just check the map to see if structures are disapering from it,kick him,and roll back or whatever you think its necesary.

No, nothing like that. I'm just a bookworm, work in letters, I have to stay up-to-date. I think you may enjoy, say, "Hamlet and the Madness of the World".

I don't see why this idea would get any disagreement. This idea isn't interfering with gameplay, merely warning you about someone burning/hammering your base. It would be helpful since if you get the griefer right after he's done you won't have to end up wasting half of your day on nothing since you're rolling back anyway. Plus, you won't have the common "OKAY WHO DID THIS?" issue since the ocuvigil would tell you who's doing it.

10/10 idea would build ocuvigil again
