so you've been murdered & want to avoid it next time ? here's how

IronBear · 2018-05-23 02:54:46

You went of the rails around 9.

Basically if I see murderers or oppressors in my town and I am female, I leave. It is not hard to start a colony, especially if there are carts. And it is hard to get killed by your kids if there is no weapons.

How to avoid getting murdered: Have no children. Murder everybody else first.

If there's bad people, then become a forager. I'm sick and tired of all you plebs hanging out in towns and never leaving to hunt rabbits or collect rope, kindling or cactus fruit. You're probably being killed because you're not observant and/or targeted for being a slacker.

I have to say, I can't recall ever being murdered by surprise. I have died, but that is only because I choose to fight, or while I am investigating the situation. I do some times investigate, as I don't want to jump to conclusions. If you seriously run away, it is pretty easy to get away. Though running away might require you going far away if you want to be sure you will be safe.

it is fairly easy to make a bow&arrow, so if there is no weapon a player who sets out to kill, will

or you could play on an empty server
but maybe you just belong to the alternatives :

1. become killer yourself & make the killing to your gameplay, either as murderer or as self righteous killer to avenge murders
2. become a griefer & avenge all your bad experiences by punishing everybody at your whim

Taught some guy how to smith charcoal, wrot, crucible assembly, forge, as I am explaining how
to make the file some lady with a bow runs up and kills him. He had even offered her the knife
I was teaching him to make (he wanted to learn).. After he dies I take that knife and run after
her, almost catch her and she starts lag teleporting all over the place and got away..

Go back to town and warn people that she got away and tell people what her name was (knife is
in pack at this point) and some other guy comes up and shoots me. He tells me I am the killer I
try to just tell more people bout who the real killer was (am doomed at this point anyways). I hope
they caught that weird lady.

I was trying to help people know what was up

Looks like Mr trigger fingers didn't last long after he killed me lol...

I had at least a pie in my pack, how he starved I have no idea..

@YAHG

Aname · 2018-05-23 10:48:24

You can say that about almost everything in this game. You can find a way to grief with almost everything anyway, doesn't mean they shouldn't be in the game.

If only there was a way to actually capture people in the game, Like instead of having vigilante's just killing people. They could instead catch them and have them explain themselves, People that give dumb reasons can be killed but innocents at least get a chance to talk.

Omg.
This.
Please.

Murder is a necessary concept in the game to prevent the numerous griefers and trolls from continuing, but yes, I agree that people use it excessively and without reason. Since it’s so readily available, anyone without any reason can just shank you if you’re not always on high alert. Which is a shame, because the majority of thriving cities are actually small towns without any weapons.

Most villages I’ve spawned into now have died out not because of lack of women or babies who know how to function when they’re five, but due to murderers who go unpunished and get away with their fun.

The only solution to defeating murderers would be to allow every person to have a weapon or some means of defense, which is illogical and would surely result in more murder. The more weapons a village has, the greater chance they have of defeating a murderer. For example, if you only have one knife or bow, and murderer takes it, it’s all over.

This all creates a giant loop which, as we are right now with no defense, we cannot escape.

Shame.

Some of the replies in this thread are quite disheartening. Play in a solo server if you want to learn pressure free. Get mods if the base game isn't enough. (Larger screen, WASD). Use online resources to look up recipes you're unsure of before opening the game. Keep it open while playing for reference. It's easy.

I just came to vent. I'm pretty good at avoiding murder. Running and foraging, waiting out the troubles, I've even stopped a couple myself when the resources were readily available. But in our large encampment, a gal just killed seven of us (with a knife, even more of her children through starvation). There was a bow and a few arrows but someone conveniently hid them from the camp before hand.

http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=118435

And sure we all cried out her name and appearance and had her all ID'd, but there was jack squat we could do about it with her running around near any hidden tools of self defense, or tools capable of making something for self defense. Jason, lack of suitable offspring to continue the family sucks. Random murder and other forms of griefing suck. Rates of deterioration exceeding rates of growth due to bad land generation sucks. When your only suitable offspring decides to be a serial murdering griefer on the mediocre land your ancestors have settled, the game can be pretty damn frustrating sometimes. More weapons of self defense would not help though. People would kill (or restrain, w/e) for clothes, food, use or misuse of resources, or just because. And I'm sure babysitting this issue detracts big from actual content development. It's a rock and a hard place to have to strike game balance between, so why bother? The issue can only escalate as those technologies advance. Survival for the legacy can already be hard enough through poor RNG and environmental circumstance.

Rant over now. *Clicks to respawn*

I get the feeling Wanda might have been breeze.

this is actually funny

it's funnier though when not playing, as i atm do
sometimes i even regret not having fun griefing & murdering, since it's so easy in OHOL, way easier than trying to get a nice town going

Well im done playing. Ive been murdered every game today. Lats time just being a farmer and built a well. Then i get killed out of no where. Before that the town was starving so i saved them by going to get seeds. Came back with seeds planted them then was murdered on the farm. What is with the state of game play. Idk if ill play gor a wile or if ever again.

Dishehs · 2018-05-24 20:32:17

I'll say this, one reason you guys get slaughtered besides general incompatance is lack of communication.

breezeknight · 2018-05-24 20:39:05

@Realcooldude
did you follow what i suggested in the OP ?

it seems to me that players are targetted as victim especially if they are useful & are trying to improve the town,
it's griefing, the killers want to prevent towns from functioning, actually they want to prevent the game from functioning
the only thing that functions then is murder

Lets agree if u want to avoid murder just stop playing.

or leave youre hometown the second youre old enough. i did that many times i even saved a lineage bcuz old town died but i started a whole new town somewhere else.

Realcooldude · 2018-05-24 21:14:13

Town was full of a lot of new players. Was communicating with them well and ahowing them how to farm and build a well. Orginized the tools and helped save the town. Then blam. Shot through the heart. The nube that picked the seed row did take revenge for me i see. So atleast he will have a taste for blood from now on.

Why even build a town and work to improve if one person ruins it for the other 20 playes in that town.

Maybe your right and as soon as we are able we kill everyone doing anything that looks like it could help the town. Might be fun to wipe a couple of servers. Atleast that way when everyone quits the game it will have to be fixed.

Realcooldude · 2018-05-24 21:15:15

I declair the first purge open intil further notice!

The thing is griefers tend to be lazy, and building a bow in small farm is a bitch. In a small farm there is no one pushing a backpack full of pies on to you. That means you have gather all the supplies from the wild while trying not to starve. And after 40 minutes what is the reward for you effort? A chance to kill a few experienced players who wanted and can handle a challenge? Or will you baby sucides until find a rich, soft town full of targets and resources. You could be killing within 15 minuts that way.

I have never seen murder happen in small towns.

Stankysteve · 2018-05-24 23:22:22

This is supposed to be a game about parenting, legacy left behind, and civ building. I do not want to play a game about murdering, guarding, and attacking. If "2D Rust" was what I knew I was signing up for, I would've never purchase it. Don't let this become 2D-Rust.
