I was trying to enchant a wolf teeth necklace with tier 2 dexterity, but with the rss to make that possible, it allows for 5 different enchantments. I can't pick which one to enchant it with and it keeps giving me everything except the only one i am after... Like... it could at least go for the enchantment with the damn highest amount of the circles filled. what is the point in trying to enchant your necklace for dexterity when you get magic damage up? At least let us CHOOSE what we want... so, what? i need to make 10000 necklaces till i get one with the 4 enchantments i want? and have my old descent one break before i get to make a new descent one, even tho all i am doing is farming for materials for the necklace?

My character has 6 intelligence for a reason... I don't want more... same for cooldown reduction... who cares about that when u almost never use skills?

My charisma is at max... like, that's what luck is for isn't it?

@islesofurth if not for the daily post, i dont think i would be active in the forums at all. i am sure alot of other people are the same. at first, i didnt post much stuff and alot of my posts were in the daily post, but for quite a while now, i have avoided the daily post thread. i try to post stuff that is useful and the devs sometimes think it is, or i wouldnt have won a few of the weekly draws... all because there was soneyhing pushing me to post in the first place.

all the people that post in dail post and spam will be losing out, because they will never have a chance to win bonus points through the weekly reward things, coz they never post anything useful.

sure, it isnt good there are people that never commit properly in the first place, but there will be people like that regardless of what u do.

sounds rather interesting. I might consider joining your side, despite being a pretty reclusive person and player alike!! perhaps i could be a hermit, but still provide support every now and then

living on my own in amongst the wildlife could prove fruitful for rss gathering to then sell to the merchants or craft into powerful potions!!

oh, woww ^c^ thanks. i wasn't expecting to be a winner in one of these any time soon

@PeachMcD said in Mount conundrum....:

I can't even imagine riding a gorilla, tbh. They are intelligent beings like dolphins. Unless it offered me a ride, I would never.

I'll probably keep my mount as a companion and just not ride her unless under duress. I'd imagine Wolflings will have decent stamina and speed on foot. Or I might come up with a backstory that would make her conveying me believable. I just wanted to raise this as a question cuz it's a funny mental image to see a wolf riding a wolf.

to be fair, some people treat their mounts as companions. Treat a mount well, and it will treat you well... Treat it poorly and it will run away as soon as it gets the chance. Horse riders are a great example. a lot of people i have met that ride their horses absolutely love them... feed them, water them, brush them, give them plwntly of room to run around and sometimes even play with them.

@Jairone said in People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday:

@Xzait Glad you opened up to join the community on a deeper level!

i am too. Has certainly made the game alot more interesting, despite not being able yo play it unless an alpha is up. Rhe community is wonderful and we all have fun chatting about all the updates and potential mechanics! ^c^

I am definately hoping the ability to remove buildings is implemented by full release. For now, it may not matter too much, due to lack of total players, being an alpha. But what happens when full release happens and there is a flood of noobs that don't know what they are doing and build 5 blacksmiths so everyone can get armour quickly, only to realise they have completely fucked themselves over, when everyone is geared up? Or they fill everything with farms, because they don't have a high soil fertility city and think they need to fend for themselves, instead of buying food from another city that has high soil fertility,, running out of room that they didn't neccissarily need to use for what they used it for?

@GamerSeuss It might be all well and fine for you. But you have been Alpha testing since the beginning (or at least very close to, if not). You already have the knowledge. There will be hundreds of people that don't later on down the line. Not being able to edit the cities will be of detriment to the game. People will start playing and fck up their city. Being unable to fix their own mistake they will just give up and leave.

@Jairone said in Attacks speeds depending on armor ?:

Further, it's actually realistic to run at about the same speed. Especially for trained warriors. The idea otherwise is tied pretty heavily to being outrun over long distances, which remains true... but that's best represented not as a maximum speed, but a limited time for going full speed.

That is not true at all. No matter how well trained someone is in a full plate mail, they would not be able to keep up with someone that is running away from them in light armour that weighs literally 10x less. It is the same for weapons. A master Greatswordsman will not physically be able to swing a large greatsword faster than someone swinging a rapier.

A greatsword is designed for great physical power, as a heavy armour is designed for a formidable defence. Using a rapier sacrifices brute power for speed and piercing. Light armour sacrifices a large amount of defence for agility and manouverability.

Running at the same speed in all armour is in no means realistic at all.

@Xzoviac oo. the idea of damaged trophies is interesting... maybe they deteriorate over time like the house does if you dont maintain it... so you can only have a trophy if you have killed the difficult enemy rescently. Like, in the last 6 months for example (not sure if that is too long tho tbh, with the rate of which houses are planned to deteriorate).

Have a blacklist, a working chat scroll lock and the ability to turn off specific chats would be amazing!!

I bring this up, partially because of Black Widow Spiders. Before they felt like a bit of a threat, just like big black spiders... Now, even without ANY magic resist... In fact I have negative Magic resist due to 6 base Int stats, they still aren't a damn threat They are COMPLETE pushovers. Completely useless mobs. Giant Spiders seem to have been buffed and now have stupid amounts of poison damage. WTF? How can this be called Balancing?

I know there are multiple topics, but i scrolled through like 100 rescent posts and couldn't find any.

I feel the nerf was completely unneccissary though... and I have never played a mage. I have fought along side a few and even done some PvP with one.

I honestly think acid damage is alot more dangerous right now than ice or magic damage was. People were only complaining about magic missiles and ice spikes in particular, because almost every mage seemed to have it... My question is... if it was such a problem... why the hell did noone decide to protect themselves against them?

In my duel with a mage, they took down my hp real fast with a couple of skills, before finally using magic missile. I had warg armour on, so it did little damage to me. The mage supposedly didn't expect me to survive that final barrage and just stood there for a couple of seconds, I can only assume in shock. My gear wasn't even enchanted for extra magic defence. It was just the basic material bonuses.

If people stop treating this as a vertical progression game, and even 1/4 as a horizontal progression game (which is about all it is at this point, despite the devs saying it was going to be fully horizontal progression at the beginning)... then players actual knowledge and experience would reflect and they would hopefully adapt and evolve instead of complaining and brining in toxicity as they have lately.

1 set of equipment is NOT supposed to be used for everything.

If unarmed naked mages were the main issue... why not make the spells only usable with the assistance of a staff instead? why not have a damage algorithm like;
Damage = (1/10)Staff DmgInt stat?

Instead of ONLY being based off Int?

You can argue that isn't horizontal progression... But if it was truely horizontal, no1 would even get the chance to choose base stats. Their gear would reflect any and all stat changes.

@OlivePit Rabbit paws have an approximate 10% drop chance. even with 1000 luck (which is a hard cap), you will still only have about a 20% drop rate. That can very easily become 20 rabbits before you grt a single paw, or getting 5 paws in a row. I killed about 40 rabbits without getting a single paw, at 360 luck, to end up getting 6 paws in the next 10 rabbits. It's all RNGeezus

@Kralith No wonder I can draw a longbow as quickly as a Shortbow XD

@Shivashanti I am talking about when Net Trap is used, you can no longer hit them with basic attacks at all. they become immortal.

When using net trap on a horse, it will successfully pin it down... But it will also make it completely untargettable. I was trying to kill a few of them... and yeah... issues...

@Ignator oh, I must have misread it before. Now it's a bug within a bug though!! XD

@yneternum you already can.

If you are hunting and see a player prepping to kill you though, they are likely already red. With the system I proposed, even a -1 in karma would have someone be red. This could even be achieved by attacking a player that isn't red, even if said player escapes.

I can understand a karma reset... but maybe a system like passive karma decay could be implemented? spend X amount of time online and your karma will get 1000 closer to zero. If a player REALLY wants to have good karma, after experiencing the consequences of being evil... they can always wait inside a town

I Recieved a Nation invite from @Kralith , which was pre-planned... but when I clicked accept... all it did was close out the window.
