One Hour One Life Forums

Most people on the forums who complain dont play anymore.

Most griefers are well known and tracked by community members. Join the discord and ask around and people may be able to tell you who's doing it by name.

Griefing has always been a problem and most of the prolific offenders are banned on the forums.

Trolling and negativity is a defining characteristic of these forums. Without it, these forums would lose the flair that makes them interesting. I personally would have stopped reading them long ago if it wasnt the chaotic mess that it is.

I respect your perspective as someone coming back to the game with a fresh heart and mind. Many people on here and in the game have been hardened by the frustrations this game can promote. With enough time invested you may feel exactly as they do.

Gotcha - the game has changed quite a bit since that time.   

Good news is that yum chains never break, so you should aim to eat a varied diet to stack up yum as high as possible.  Also more storage options and new vehicles (trucks, race car).  And you were gone long enough to miss dealing with the rift and tool slots, so that's great.   

Unfortunately "family specializations" are still a thing, so you will need to learn how that works.   We also have a bunch of poorly documented new mechanics - water/oil/iron depletion, leadership, posses, and gene score to name a few.

You might try reaching out to the people working on You Are Hope.   They are already in the mobile game field, so Steam Deck is right in their wheelhouse.  Also the idea might be more appealing, since YAH is already built for mobile.

But when I get back to it, here's the plan:

---Of course fix all the open bugs

---Do several months of bigger content updates

---Figure out a satisfying "endgame" of some kind.

Just got back into your game. Going to learn everything and all the updates and be the best player ever. Hope you do finish the game. It's amazing, that's why everyone always complaining. It's addicting. Hope project December works out for you. It sounds fun but I like oHoL a ton. Bought it when it first became available.

Why pay 4 bucks for a mobile version of a dead game?

Seeing how OHOL only has 30 players max nowadays, how many people are playing a knock mobile version?

I'm will to bet no one is playing.

I mean, as someone who has given a hard hard pass for the game after race restrictions were implemented I don't in the slightest disagree

Homelands and race restrictions should absolutely be removed. The rift can be reworked to make the map more limited or finite, but it can't just be a huge jail (I think reworking the rift and adding continents that you can travel to would be best).

Personally I think the best idea for OHOL is re-adding tool slots and tying them to eves/families. For example, first tool the eve uses becomes a free tool slot for everyone in her family (maybe the first iron tool and allow stone tools to be used by anyone). Like I don't even think tools slots are a >needed< mechanic, but I think it can be reworked to do the job that race restricions never did.

Spring mechanics, rift, posses and race restrictions were all means of making the game more controlable for jason but very distressing for whose that played the game. IDK what else to say that we haven't said billions of times so...

But why is Jason spending money on 10+ servers though? we hardly ever use more than 3

Which is pretty sad, when you think about it.   And probably related to why Jason hasn't come back from his extended break.

Congratulations! How has your trip been so far?

Planning to stay here!
(Nah I'm kidding, I live here . These coins were send to me.)

I hadn't played the game or visited the forums pretty much at all since the start of the first lockdowns and so far the only positive change I've seen is that there are now more people who are calling Jason out on the bullshit he's been putting forth for years; even before all the wildfire stuff and COVID.

Been playing the game again for the past two weeks or so and remembered why I fell out of love with it pretty fast. All the things people had been complaining about since implementation are still there and everyone still hates them (eg race restrictions to force "trade"), and Jason still just keeps making excuses as to why he can't take them out. Although at least this time he's finally choosing external factors to blame it on instead of being a conceited asshat who just repeats how much experience he has with game design over and over so therefore he doesn't have to consider any suggestions from paying customers lol.

I really really really wish we could have gotten a game even remotely similar to what was promised at launch, or what ANYONE in these forums has suggested over the years that would be an improvement over this. I still like the game.... kind of.... It just feels unfinished. Feels like if you start reading a really good book and realize someone tore out the second half of the pages. Like what I've seen is so promising it just never goes anywhere.

I dunno, y'all. I'm sad and rambling. I was hoping to come back to a better game, but the game can't really grow with Jason at the helm and it's just a real shame. Still love the community though! I missed you guys!

Anyone else just going on a little nostalgia trip through the forums? Even if times were rough? Damn...
