One Hour One Life Forums

This is by far the simplest idea, I had concieved something similar in another thread but a lot more clunky in terms of implementation. GJ. It is unfortunate that in my mind Jason has a thing for dismissing ideas when they aren´t his.

If it would be possible to have a graph of curses and people sent to DK it would be great.

Well if you want to roleplay as the psycho that kills anyone just because you are alone be my guest. But don´t expect people to be happy and salute you for being "smart" while they bleed out.

On the other hand I believe the killing mechanic was introduced exactly to prevent griefing, since before that you couldn´t stop people from destroying and stealing stuff. Even when they were killed they could just return as a new player, play dumb for a few minutes and start killing/locking doors/grief for a new life since they got anonymity behind them. This didn´t happen once or twice btw, there are hundreds and so instances of people killing and destroying full lineages, even people making threads of how much fun it was to destroy a town.

I have indeed played several PvP games, fps, rts, mmorpg, tbs I am sure I´m missing some genre. Maybe this will shock you but this is not intended as a PvP game which may be the source of all your misunderstanding (this is not my opinion, Jason has stated so). I would be happy to fight any griefer on equal footing in a proper combat system (I even used to call for a proper duel when the game allowed to dodge and we needed to solve some issue). The point behind all this is -anonymity is just that much of a powerful tool-. Paceful players had to deal with returning killers and griefers for months just because they have full anonymity. To me it is more like it is you the one that has never played a PvP game before: In PvP everyone has a win condition, a set goal before hand and everyone agrees to competition. Does that sound like a parenting and civilization building game?

I still advice you to read back these forums, because you assume many things that are simply not true in this regard.

Oh yeah griefers did plague the game. I was even a mod in a griefers discord subforum. I am still mod there but the channel is completely dead. Funny enough one of the most known oldtime griefer asked me to mod there even though I don´t grief. I actually even defend your right to be an asshole ingame and destroy and grief all you want. What I don´t defend is the no retaliation doctrine, mostly because griefers have anonymity. In a proper PvP game with a username and no anonymity you wouldn´t be raised so often if you are a dick to others. I normally curse people when I don´t want to play with them and I am happy everyone has the same right. I don´t log in to be chasing after some idiot that wants to kill others or likes to steal stuff to make the game "interesting". I don´t log in to read racial slurs or people being aggresive for no reason. It is just that simple.   

Well how could I dodge that punch if I had to play the game pvp players wanted and not the way I wanted for months? How could I possibly dodge a PvP punch that I don´t want to take because I don´t log in to this game to PvP? My opinion may be wrong to you sir, but I believe I´m not alone on it and the latests changes in the killing mechanic make me think PvP is not where the game is going right now.

Did you play on low population servers from that list? Well I don´t know what to say sir, maybe you got a defective game. Allowing new players to Eve in BS2 is a bad idea because you need some basic level of planning to make a town, for starters a spring for your well. So many times I´ve seen new people making towns far from a well location or next to dry springs lol. Yeah and there are several other factors, allowing new players to Eve is a terrible idea, I wonder if anyone with more than a month of game experience would think otherwise.

Well yeah we clearly have a different view on how the game is supposed to go (Not how I want it to go but its developer). For the last time I advice you to read some of Jason´s posts about the game. I am sorry but I am too lazy to make a selection for you.

I congratulate you on your achievement of Oddity, I´ve never made one.

The thing is, there is a big portion of the playerbase that had to deal with people "choosing to be an evil character" for long enough. For me, the current curse system is a blessing and I hope it stays like it is. For the first time in ohol history griefers don´t have 100% anonymity on their side and I love it.

Your first suggestion makes some sense from a person that has zero knowledge of how the game has developed for months. Maybe if you took a few weeks to read back these same forums you would understand how griefers had plagued this game. You could also understand how helpless the more pacific players have felt and how that has pushed many people away. Just to give you an idea, a few weeks before the new curse system I was playing as a mother trying to keep her family alive, being last fertile female. I had three girls and then twin males. The twins were griefers trying to exterminate my family, they killed two of my girls, I managed to dispatch both of them. In his last words, the second twin literally told eveyone how much fun this was for him and that he was coming back in five minutes to clean the rest after I was dead (My girl and her children were newish players). So yeah, toxicity goes where it is due most of the times.

Your second idea I approve completely. Make a separate space for Donkeys ideally with NO IRON. That way they don´t get a free paradise to play.

Your third idea is almost universally bad, making new players Eve is recipe for disaster. If you want to play the early game from scratch the low population servers are more than you need, just go into settings and choose one from here http://onehouronelife.com/reflector/ser … ion=report, if you die of old age you even get to respawn in the same place.

Family locking is also a bad idea unless you want to make permanent teams. Several times I´ve run into idiots telling me "this is my town, I was Eve..." or "Hey I build this farm two generations ago don´t do this so or so..." I get it, people like to feel attachment to where they play, but the idea of the game is exactly the opposite.

I hope you understand your suggestions make a lot of sense to you as a new player, but not to everyone in these forums.

And yeah Legs is a known griefer so it makes sense he/she doesn´t like the new system.

Game fixes no needs.

I hope you get well soon sir.

1- But the game is sort of popular, and also even if the servers were completely full of people that woudn´t change the gameplay that much. I don´t care tbh.

2- You mean all people that I think are griefers? Who decides what is griefing? Idiots like Punkypal think making an apoc tower is griefing. I don´t care either.

3- I mean doubling someones IQ doesn´t mean anything to me at least. He may even leave the game alone. I can´t care less.

4- Useless, I would be trolling people all day for a week then leave for ever.

I don´t like anything here.

No, it is not, regeneration rate of all water sources was nerfed to prevent that. Current regeneration rate is a bucket for two and half hours which is not enough to keep a town alive.

Make it 60.

You don´t have to feed her if you don´t want to, and there is no real gameplay harm. I mean you can still lose points if the player suicides so that person is actually giving you a chance not to lose points. Are you complaining because you are given a choice?

Thread delivers 10/10

Please don´t take it as "advice" I couldn´t even draw a tree myself tbh. I love your style and just thought in my mind dancers are always expressing something like happyness or they are flirty or maybe some kind of ecstasy. But maybe yours are just nervous because they are perfoming to us? lol.  The ginger guy looks stiff with his lips tight while the girl in red just looks at him like: Hey relax you doing fine.... On the same note I love how the girl in purple is like: Bitch take me to dance!
