Interesting analysis.
I also died a couple of times in a "berry-picking loop" and mentioned it in my first feedback. I hope Jason is monitoring this issue somehow to analyse how many players are affected.
However frustrating this might be, we could just considere it as an unfair death by nature, like a desease might kill us in real life for no reason. Maybe it would be even possible to implement it this way as a quick fix - if you die while the connection is broken, you could get "heartattac" as reason of death...
Ah, yes, sorry it was indeed just the initial password (which I did not pick) - since I use a password generator it looked like one of those... chances are still a user won't change it, but since it is (most likely) not a password used anywhere else, I withdraw my security concern :-D
Could it be lag if the food meter goes down constantly? I would assume it would stay level until there is no more lag and then goes down one big step for the time I was "offline". But on the occasions I experienced it, the meter went down just like normal, but the picking animation just repeated over and over for up to 10 food bars and I died twice of that. When that happened I had about 40 Mbit down and 30 Mbit upstream btw. :-) Next time it happens I will also watch for the number of players on the server, but I did not know the stat page then.
Interesting thoughts. But concerning (already) regretting the purchase: How much is a beer where you live and how much do you make per hour? I don't expect answers to that. But my point is, that considering this is an indie game by a one guy who spent a lot of time on it, to me it seems wrong to compare the price to data harvesting mobile games or AAA titles, but rather compare it to other (more or less useless) stuff I spend money on, including art (good comparison IMO). Cheers! And enjoy to watch how it all plays out :-)
Okay good to know that the berry picking loop was lag. Scrolling through here I now also found a link to the server stats, which I find very interesting: http://onehouronelife.com/reflector/ser … ion=report and I wish there will be more usage data shared in the future :-)
About my request for a starting guide I did not mean all the way or for a long time. I like the part of finding out and being taught, but I just think the initial confusion might just be a bit too much for some players. I found a youtube video of someone streaming how Jason is explaining him the game, watching it would take more than one generation but what I meant, what I was missing, is what is explained in the very first minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCkS_F_Jyu0
I have played some lifes so far, and I like it, but it is quite hard, I must say.
It is really not easy to get started and I would have wished there was a little bit more of a starting guide, at least for the commands. I almost got frustrated after dying for the first few times because I did not figure out how to eat berries. And asking this questions to my mothers letter by letter was quite a struggle... Normally I would go ahead now and write something about my experiences so others might save the trouble, but I figure this is all part of the concept. So this shall just be my feedback ;-)
Another thing: Last time I died in a "berry picking loop". During that round it took suspiciusly long to pick berries and I think it even got worse over time with me dying because it took more than 5 food bars to harvest. I suppose, something went wrong, or could my character have been somehow handicaped by birth?
Yet another feedback: When I signed up to this forum I was suprised to receive my password within my activation mail. Passwords should not be send, especially considering too many people use theirs more than once and emails not being a secure channel.
