One Hour One Life Forums

I´m not sure why but I dislike the idea of moving the engine from the well to the minning site. You may be right though, just unsure why It doesn´t please me.

Shame on you Destiny.

I don´t know what the general opinion is but it seems to me that serial griefing has decreased a lot thanks to the current curse system. Blocking someone for a few hours isn´t strong enough to make serial griefers not to shit everywhere.

We got used to people messing around with everyone just for the lulz because annoying others is fun for them. Since they have almost infinite lives that means they just don´t care if they die or what happens to their family. I don´t log in to play with those people because chasing them all around is useless and boring, its not fair when only one party cares.

I like the way the cursing system works now. I like it a lot because you don´t get free reign to be an asshole to everyone around you whenever you want.

I´ve said it before, I am a mean player. Which means im pretty loose with my language ingame (telling someone retard or dumbass if I think it is deserved). I even steal a few things here and there from other families if the town im currently in needs it. The one thing I try not to do is to shit on others for no reason. Guess what; I don´t get cursed often.

If we had to change the curse system I would rather decrease the time to 20 days and leave the rest untouched.

I get your point. Its weird because 1 corn+ 2 water for 3 milk buckets is wasteful compared to 3 corn for 3 milk but at the same time is super efficient compared to using the same water on berry bushes. You don´t even need to get the numbers tbh. I am happy we see more mooo in the game, either with corn or water.

Wait what swapping water? I dont understand, Why you need water?

Except neither you or I get the monopoly to define what is interesting in the game. Several players have explicitly asked for more colors in this same forum and dyeing the clothing is a mayor moment for several players: they get to prepare all the dyes and mordant and go around town sharing everyone to dye their clothing.

I would say there is reasonable evidence to say that doing the same thing in different colors in the game is actually really interesting and important for many people. You can make a search for all the fashion and color threads, this is not something i´m making up. I could add more examples like the color themed roleplayed gangs and all the petitions to make pigments for paint more accesible.

In the topic of the shapes I would also say there is reasonable evidence to support that people expect variety and find super interesting to experiment using different shapes for buildings, for example. I won´t flood you with the topics about shrines, gardens, buildings, town design and patterns that people have shared around here, what I expect from you is to understand that variety in shapes and colors is something missing but important because they help to give an identity to the culture and civilization we are supposed to be recreating. That is missing important content, even if the gameplay for each village was to be the same.

I don´t understand what are you implying here, maybe you are trying to get the point about content not being the essence of this game?
I agree with that, the core of this game are the interactions it creates and how people get together to survive, or as Jason put it in a few words "I want a puzzle where each part of the puzzle has its own motives and goals..." or something like that. But note that most of the playerbase is not asking for a huge amount of content. Just varied content to explore. For example Tattoo shops where an amazing content addition. I believe i´ve never had people jump in or get more excited easily than when I say "hey lets make a tattoo shop", even if they don´t even know how to make black dye or make a tattoo. Just like colors and shapes: tattoos are useless for surviving. Completely and utterly useless, you don´t get food or any kind of value from them and you even waste thread and rope for some of them, not even counting the water wasted in making black dye. And yet several people love them, new people love to "be the tattoo guy" and explore how many tattoos there are. Seriously they go around town giving tattoos to kids and there is no shortage of tattooed people that leave their clothing just to see their character with a few damn dotted pixels. Another great "content" addition? Playable pine walls and pine floors, as simple as that. How many towns have you seen without pine floors since they came up? How many different shapes have you seen for the pine walls? even the infamous pods of zucc town where interesting.

All that points to one thing: this game can get a lot of simple content that is not necesrily boring to the players. I believe you value scarcity and challenge to survive as "interesting" and I have it on you to have said something among on the lines of "it is boring if every resource is infinite and there is no challenge to survive". Well, i would say you are just defining what you find boring as a person, but just as we don´t get to define what interesting is we don´t get to define what boring is.   

The underlying problem here is the lack of perspective Jason has regardless of content addition. Several times he has made huge claims about the number of unique craftable objects and whatnot in the game but we all know the n unique transitions of a sheep are just sheep as content. Im not trying to look down on his work, I know he works hard in this game. But last week it was readily obvious that he sees almost anything new as content, when he highlighted how he had made dozen of new piles of objets. Do we really consider pile of clay new interesting content?

I believe the forum is literally filled with ideas and proposals, from new clothing items to diseases and crafting. And many people have just given up making suggestions at this point since its pretty much a dead effort to elaborate on something that won´t be even look at as an idea. When I say need content im pretty open to play with whatever I get to try and experiment, from property fences to pine walls. Why would it be interesting? Idk, I like to craft and try new stuff. I even consider shoveled rabbits interesting content since you get to move them around.

Last but not least, I can tell you that 2ohl, molife, YAH and crucible managed to make some new content to try. It is not that much what we are asking here.

Except again, you are just trying to force your view on what is or is not interesting. Some people find wine interesting content, they get to learn how to make glass and make a new crop. Is it a good food? nope. Is it fun? Well it seems it is, given that a lot of people like to cheer around or even roleplay as the drunken villager, crafting can be interesting while it goes related to a story and players interactions. Not everything is about a decition to make (do I take a glass of wine or not?) but about the character you play in the story.  Afterall "you are part of something bigger" was supposedly the motto of this game, no?

Just to be completely clear im not being sarcastic by any means, I do think this is a bad update from the design pov but I also think it is worth to get the most of it by rolling it to see where it ends up. I would really hate a hotfix for the bug for the simple reason that im not so sure it can´t be circled around ingame. If we got a broken puzzle at least we can see how much do we "really care" about the resources. I would be completely fine and happy with a full week of the game untouched. (I already played 4 full lives)

Can we at least leave the game as it is with all the bugs for another day? It is frustrating but we may work an ingame solution, isn´t this what you want us to do? To try to coordinate and stuggle togheter in the game? Somehow this created an amazing social puzzle over the code failure, I think its worth a try.

Please no hotfix because we are too dumb to figure things out.

This is actually very good drama. From a shitty update. I am perplexed. Jason somehow, did it.
Color me entertained.

I stand by my other post:
"Play the game the way I want you to play, stay in your village and fight with eachother"
