Just say the towers are grieving your preferred play style and he might do something about it.

[Cashew Lvl 60 USEastPolar BearPosts: 25]

I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to say, but higher level mining does result in faster mining.

Higher mining = better “success” chance each swing, resulting in less fails, which means you get more mats faster.

Combine that with packrat to carry more mats each trip to gather mats even faster by not burning time going back and forth to your base.

I likes you Eska such wisdom, much restraint.

The issue lies in that it has basically made any building or account created prior to the release of these non-pvp zones completely vulnerable whilst simultaneously giving new players an impenetrable safe haven with little to no effort required to reach the higher levels.

Think about this future scenario:

Old players: set up in Galebrook, decent base with lots of towers and double (triple, quadruple and more even) walls and all that jazz cuz it’s in a PvP zone and you gotta protect yo sh*t. There was no safe building zones before so it was basically a requirement. It takes quite a bit of time and energy to acquire such a base. It ain’t all thrown at you, gotta put in a little effort.

New players: set up in wellington, minimal base, no need for defenses just single layer walls and floors etc. That’s it, nothing else needed. Well yeah myst but that’s why the alts are made eventually. Circumvention ftw!

New players stay under radar and levels up at a moderate pace, old players think “oooh finally a decent player and not someone that will play for a week then ragequit the first time they die and lose something” New dedicated players are always gud for the survival of any game.

Said new players finally reach the competitive PvP level and form a tribe to try and fight the old tribes. Might seem like the natural order of things BUT with one big difference.

New players can attack and whittle the defenses of old tribal bases, but the older players can not do the same. Why? Can’t PvP in wellington.

Most likely the older players will fend off the newer ones, and before these updates they’d either make them quit the game entirely or hop to a new server because if someone kept attacking my base I’d try to make them quit as well. I wouldn’t trust them to leave them alone, that’d be naive of me to think someone I fought off and kicked down to a low level wouldn’t try and rise up to defeat me at some point.

Instead, the new players can stay perfectly safe in their non-pvp bases and train in the non-pvp zones to be able to (as it’s so commonly used nowadays) GRIEF the existing players without any consequences simply because they started playing the game later.

If you had played the game for a while and all of a sudden the dev spoon-fed new players with the ability to safely get powerful and GRIEF you, whilst also having the protection to NOT get GRIEVED themselves in return, wouldn’t you be a little upset too?

Not to mention, these same older players can’t even build in wellington realistically because of the insane building costs requiring myst. That is unless they join the bandwagon and make alts to build/repair. But meh, it’s whatever. Maybe change it to Altington cuz the only accounts that’d be able to build/repair anything would be low level alts.

All of this is hypothetical of course.

———

The following is not directed towards anyone specifically, more along the lines of flipping the table on those that had these changes made before anyone takes offense to my non-malicious message and tries to report me for a rule / ToS violation or somethin’. Just slight sarcasm with just a hint of using other’s words against them to show how what their suggestion(s) look like from a different perspective.

Random thought, building in wellington denies access to any map with PvP enabled (yep that includes the underworld) with a pop-up message stating “Sorry, you’re not brave enough to venture any further”. Current wolf cave would be only accessible with a base in wellington with the pop-up message “The stagnant air of cowardice prevents you from entering the cave” if ya try to access it whilst having a base in Galebrook. Then a new wolf cave would be created but this time actually yaknow, put for real new mobs in it and such with PvP enabled. It’s called new content not copypasta.

Switching from Wellington to Galebrook would result in a character wipe. Unfair to let ’em GRIEF me with safely gained levels and items whilst mine were not. Gotta play fair guise, c’mon now what works for you can work for me.

Can’t let players GRIEF me anymoar and that’s what this game is about now anti-GRIEVING. Stop GRIEVING me bruh I dun play dat way.

Seems a bit hypocritical to combat “GRIEVING” by giving people that got GRIEVED the power to GRIEF others without being GRIEVED in return.

Have I made that word sound awkward yet? Yes? Good. No? Meh, go GRIEF yourself hater.

Now even though that entire “suggestion” is just a joke, it literally has the same merit as crying to the dev about getting GRIEVED had for literally the same reasons. So anyone in favor of said non-pvp zones is automatically in support of my idea no matter what ya say. Cuz yaknow, you technically already agreed with it before I even thunk it considering I’m using the same excuses ya’ll did.

If you disagree, then you disagree with non-pvp zones. In which case just say so and we can all go back to what we were doing before all this and I’ll admit my idea was stupid 😉

+1 to separate tabs for chat

It’s hard to follow conversations at times with all of the different texts spamming the chat box, whether it be from players or the game itself.

[Cashew Lvl 60 USEastPolar BearPosts: 25]

You didn’t reply to my disproving of your “The normal gameplay does not require you to log off just to use a feature.” comment 🙁

Ignoring it won’t change the fact that I proved ya wrong lulz.

Actually, if you’d played MMO games long enough and maybe had a little experience Moderating them you’d understand where I’m coming from with my post. Well, if you did have said experience you’d have never even posted this thread czu you’d realize how downright silly it is.

Please quote where offensive language is against the rules/ToS. Remember now, offensive is not malicious… If OFFENSIVE language were not allowed then you could say Hi and I can report you cuz I said it offended me. Hi is thus forth an offensive term and I prefer Hai/Howdy/what’s kickin chicken/igotamillionofem. Everybody that says Hi to me is now in violation of the game’s ToS if your claim is to be valid here, as well as any other words I decide are offensive to me in the future at my own discretion.

I’ll gladly accept defeat if this is the case because in the end I’ll have WAY more fun than I’m having now, and that’s sayin’ something.

The age of majority clause is to protect the developers from exactly this. It’s the same reason why Porn sites have the 18+ pop up the first time ya go on. It’s so that the responsibility falls to the parents on whether or not to allow their child to play the game. (or in that example, to look at their educational reproduction filmz)

What does that mean? If yo chillun sees something you find offensive, you shouldn’t let them play no mo cuz it’s part of this game. *shrugs* Stop being a lazy/naive parent and expect the world to raise yo kid for you.

It also says in there that if you disagree with this (or any part of) that you should stop playing/not let your child play anymore. Minor’s on this game have no rights/protections of censorship or anything really under the ToS, as you have to be a legal adult to even accept them.

So maybe you should just ragequit? Cuz that’s what the ToS tells you to do. Maybe eventually they’ll get changed, but currently that’s how it stands. That’s actually one of the many reasons for section 3 I presume. As a stickler for technicalities, I freakin’ love it.

Srs bsns tho, me so sorry I russled yo jimmies, but I just could not resist cuz yours are irresistibly russle-able. At this point it feels like I’m poking a lil puppy though not a bear to get my kicks. It’s like finding an open tree in GB or a gold rock in the UG, you just can’t halp yourself. Okay maybe some people can but I’ll admit that I could not. Nobody’s perfect.

Owait I think the phrase is triggered nowadays, idk same thing. Russlin yo jimmies is more comical imo, and that’s what this entire thread is. Srsly, love whomever originally coined that phrase, it’s my favorite of all time thus far. I can’t even think it without cracking a smile.

Best thread in a while I’ve posted on, it’s so much fun so please keep on digging this hole.

Just keep digging, just keep digging, just keep digging, digging, digging!

What do we do? We dig, dig, diiiiiiiig!

The above russle is not meant to be viewed by children or those with sensitive jimmies, if you or a loved one cannot handle said russling of your jimmies, please leave the forums immediately.

[Cashew Lvl 60 USEastPolar BearPosts: 25]

Can I has a non-server flag? This thread is for those that dun want servers in game cuz they’re too op and grief us all the time. Apparently if I cry hard enough I can get anything removed, I thought that’s what these forums were for.

[Cashew Lvl 60 USEastPolar BearPosts: 25]

Yeah it does, I gotta log off to be able to sleep in a bed to gain dust.

Please make sure what you say is actually true before posting. You’re terri-bad at quoting things as I just showed in the other thread, and here again.

[Cashew Lvl 60 USEastPolar BearPosts: 25]

Welp, first off you quoted the wrong thing. I’ve read the ToS quite a few times actually over the past couple days, and a few times extra just now to make sure I didn’t misinterpret anything. That ToS quote is for forums or user submissions, cherry-picking will get you into trouble in any debate. Especially when done incorrectly.

What you REALLY wanted to quote, was section 12. (You’re welcome)

Oh wait… waaaaay before that you conveniently skipped over the very first sentence in section 1, which nullifies your “minors” comment and first complaint as that actually indemnifies the developer’s responsibility to censor and/or punish people based on speech that minor’s might see. Most add the censor in anyway just for courtesy, but we all know it’s easily circumvented. That section is pretty common practice though, as trolling/bad language is always in any MMO. Honestly how could you miss that? Anyway…

Section 12 doesn’t even apply regardless, as those quoted comments are just generalized statements.

Section 12 would support your claim if there was any actual malicious content. Sure it might be distasteful or offensive to some, but no personal attack was made.

It coulda been a warning message to not go have unprotected (mommy/daddy special hugs since your ears/eyes can’t handle grown up words) with someone they don’t know as that IS a major cause of it. It’s all about perspective. Some people aren’t as eloquent as others either and maybe he is one of those “minors” you were referring to but his grammar and engrish skillz ain’t so gud and it came out wrong.

Better stop hating on people’s potential inability to communicate properly or you’ll find yourself in violation of section 12 and someone attempts to report you for it.

Speaking of grown up words, if what you quoted is actually word for word what he said… I’m seriously hoping you just paraphrased there btw. If not, well shucks I really have nothing to say to that except that’s just the worst-est most awful-est language I have ever seen a human being speak (Type) and I’m so sowwie you were subjected to that. My sympathies.

You just have a different taste for conversation is all, and your attempt in reporting him can actually be considered a violation of section 12 on several degrees just so ya know, depending on one’s perspective.

All of this can technically be nullified by section 3 though, that one made me literally “wat.” irl the very first time I read it. Seriously it’s prolly one of the best trump cards I’ve ever seen. You should go read that one it’s pretty good. If all else fails both of us can slam it down and make each other’s reference to anything completely useless. Literally the dev could state a fact about something but then get troll’d with it instantaneously, but most likely it’s to be used in reverse.

—

I’m not defending the player btw, I have no real opinion as to anything he said as none of it directly affects me. Plus I just know he’s an attention whore (more accurate description of the majority of what people consider “Trolls” wait til you discover a real one of those) and instead of complaining about them, I just ignore them. Heck only time I really use the actual command to do so is when they’re chat bombing cuz then I can’t read anything.

There really isn’t any grounds to do anything here. You yourself said they were “questionable” quotes, not anything substantial.

All this will accomplish is a waste of development time, which affects the game, which affects me, cuz I play the game, which is ultimately the reasoning for my post. Before you try to twist words there 😉 I’ve been doing this for quite some time I ain’t no pushover.

We’ve already had enough development time wasted so please don’t request more so.

—–

Welp, gg me I just disparaged your opinion so I guess I violated section 12.

But you violated it against me as well and whomever you’re referring to as well, so Idk. E’rrybody violated e’rrybody I reckon. I guess every player in the game needs to be banned according to your logic.

What do you even expect the devs to do?

Mute? Alt.

IP ban? VPN.

Account reset? Just go to wellington/wolf cave for a week or two you’ll be good again. All the while making alts and annoying you even more.

So instead of complaining, offer a solution. I’m all ears. (eyes)

Normally you could just kill them over and over until they get bored and quit but that’s gone now. Pat yourself on the back for that one cuz you’re one of the major supporters/celebrators of the ommision of PvP from maps.

How is this relevant? Even if you do finally fix your problem with time, all he has to do is go to your precious safe areas and continue enraging you without a care in the world cuz there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent or disrupt their gameplay, but they apparently can very easily do it to you along with every other person that follows suit. So the end result is they win and you lose no matter what.

Have fun with that ^.^

I’m gonna feel sorry for you once real trolls start showing up/coming back if you couldn’t handle that without throwing a hissy fit.

Btw if you go into the player guide section, there is a list of chat commands. One of em already mentioned here can ignore specific players, and another can turn off global chat. You should go check it out so you won’t have to read something you don’t like that someone else says if it’s offensive to you. Offensive =/= malicious. Even I know that without googling it, and there is a BIG difference between the two.

I suggest you go “read up” and COMPREHEND what you read before telling others to do so. It’s really easy to read words, but it’s harder to understand what the words mean when you put them together. I have faith you can do it though. 🙂

How’s that for a quality post? I made it speshul just for you <3

No wait, maybe we need server-optional servers for those that are pro-server to make everybody happy.

[Cashew Lvl 60 USEastPolar BearPosts: 25]

Nope, the player(s) doing said actions are simply playing the game however they want to.

It’s not fair for you to push your way of play style onto them just because you don’t like it, as you’ve been so keen to say lately. You wanted no PvP, here ya go.

Oh, and :

can we have a group of women here with bed sheets on their heads, making a nicely sounding mourning choire?

BOOOHOOO….! BOOOHOOO…..!

No, you can’t report him because he’s playing the game however he wants to, and insulting people is how he wants to play. No rule has been broken here.

Everybody gets to play how they want right? Preeeeeety sure that’s what you’ve been celebrating for a while now.

I’ll admit it was a shitpost simply for shits and giggles but it’s an exaggeration on how whining about unfairness can ruin a game.

The same argument used to remove pvp from areas can be used to remove everything from the game with complete legitimacy.

EDIT: Funny thing is, currently half (if not more) of our server is hiding because of killings atm including me.

Well, I’ve finally ventured out cuz fuck it, I ran outta bandages to train healing.

The ones doing it ain’t hiding it, everybody is kos. For the players that just came on and didn’t know, when they get killed ofc they don’t like it. But most are just like “awww.. :c” then move on and watch their back.

Crying about is like turning your back to a wolf to run away. It’ll only make em attack moar.
