One Hour One Life Forums

No problem yahg. The reason why I think (1) is important is because a smart griefer would spend most of their life as a food sponge and disrupt activity, then at the end they would go around killing. That way if they are killed they only have to wait a couple minutes to come back and wreck havoc again. Plus it will add a HUGE cost to war which will make it feel more real and challenging.

Anshin, i think Jason has his mind set on how he wants to change the value of men. As their value changes, their role kind of changes. He is only going to change the women. Thus, I have a proposal:

If there is going to be a grievence toll, the determination of grievence needs to be made. Babies that dont starve dont cause grievence. This will eliminate grievence by client closing. Also, babies that move more than X tiles wont cause grievence. This prevents run away baby grievence. Lastly, death above infant age doesnt cause grievence, this prevents trolls from killing family lines by intentionally dying after infant care.

Overall Jason, I must say adding a grievence rule is just going to make things more complicated and you need to keep your player base alive. Look for some QoL updates for a few weeks. Add a few more tech trees, give players more to do. Dont make the beginning more complicated, give everyone a wider range of things to do (more social roles). A shamen would be a good start, maybe add some herbs and magic and a success rate that goes with your amount of practice in that life. Just do something to solidify the game for once. I know it is early stage, but there were only 50ish people on at a time today.

Kubassa, I know this never works, but chill out man. We are trying to openly discuss the flaws we see. I understood your metaphor, but my point was that there was nothing of value to be stolen from the town. It was a shitshow because half the tiles were filled with bloody corpses that couldnt be moved. Sure children kill people all the time, but it isnt the same kid reincarnated doing all the killing, otherwise Im sure we wouldnt be here discussing this right now. If you actually read the other threads jason did talk about hiding the coordinates from players. Even though it is open source, he can certainly make it a lot harder if not impossible on his servers.

Anyways, take a breather, realize that its okay that we have different opinions, and then choose whether you want to continue discussing with us. Personally, I think it would be a lot more reasonable if a murderer couldnt be able to terrorize your village until it completely dies even though it takes multiple attempts where they actually are defeated.

The griefer has no value in their life. If they die, they can respawn and continue to do harm until the village becomes unrepairable. A person who intends good can not do the same. Once the final reproductive mother is gone, they have no chance at repairing the village. Im not saying they should, but the griefer needs to be limited to not give them the advantage in this situation. Like nofaz said, its ironic that you think i cant call someone a griefer because everyone has their own opinion... xD. Alright, ill be around, hope jason does something about this for all of us that see this as a flaw

Just a note, why not make all fences corner fences? The only way the sheep can get out then is if a griefer has a shovel. You arent entering the pen through a fence anyways right?

Also based on the last two comments im slightly confused. Is the home marker in the image necessary or can that be a trash pit too?

Its happened to me about five times today. Thought it was part of the fix this weekend but must still be something messed up. Ik this isn't just to do with my connection because I had never had this happen to me before the decay update.

Yeah, I found that cart and the other one i chased you for when I was grabbing branches for knives. I'd suggest hiding carts behind swamp trees (that you know wont get cut down) because people like me wont accidently click on them when grabbing for a branch on a maple tree. Im completely against griefing, but I think you could have done better

Also, I couldn’t give two shits about the village, my mom and her mom were hermits when i was born and we stumbled upon it. Additionally, i try to limit myself to an hour a day so I typically dont see the same village twice post appocalypse unless I am looking after a lineage that I was eve to. Please, join me in the fight against griefing, because this side is much harder and therefore more fun imho.

I noticed when I use the server select a lot of random tiles are not loading (shows white with squiggly lines). Also, how do we check if it works?

I just want to make a commit here because I just participated in a migration. I was kind of excited because I had literally just read this thread. The migration wasn't to start fresh though, it was like 3rd-5th generation moving closer to swamp land (I later found swamp land in the opposite direction that was really close to the old village and this kind of ticked me off).

Anyways, it was really disorganized, and it felt like we wasted a bunch of resources in doing so that set us back a generation or two. I almost went back to the old village to start up again on my own. We moved shortly into my adulthood. The move actually discouraged me to be a productive mother and I ultimately didn't raise a single kid, but I really supported the group and started smithing stuff/making clothes. Overall, I started with negative feelings towards it, but at the end, I was more neutral. By all means, anyone could feel different about this.I just wanted to share what I felt from an early village experience.

Honestly, when I first saw this I laughed. I thought "there is no way this would work, why would anyone be honest?"

Then I thought, well that's just part of life. If you keep a kid alive who rates themselves well and turns out being shit, that is part of the experience. People lie on job applications, and it screws them and the employer. If you get a kid who is honest that they aren't good, and you are a decent mom, you can teach them and benefit their ability in the future.

I probably won't apply it as an eve, but if you see success let me know, I think it would be fun to try even if it fails.

I think when I bought the game I was mostly looking forward to the long unending progress. However, I seem to enjoy being an eve the most, and I think it is because I enjoy the struggle that doesn't exist past the beginning. So rather than asking for more change, I ask to make the whole experience as challenging as it is in the beginning. The best way I can think of this is adding disease states.

Of course, you can get real deep like Ernest just did, but I'm honestly just looking for a mindless way to blow some relaxation into my day.

I look forward to seeing the game when social roles potentially develop, but I'm not counting on it. I think the "grass is greener on the other side" phrase is something more likely to come in the end.

I also have a problem that the only real challenge is preventing starvation. Griefers and killers aren't really a challenge in my honest opinion.

So, to answer your three questions directly:
1. I want a challenge that varies in complexity but never lets me take a break without regret.
2. I think Jason needs to revise his update strategy. Take suggestions more seriously and propose his additions before implementing them so he can get feedback before implementing a bunch of shit.
3. Different styles of challenge (e.g. natural disasters, seasonal problems/events, disease states, war invoking things for stuff like land control or resource control).
