Looks like a pogo stick.
I like tribes
Oh yeah, I actually experienced this too. One staircase was perma-blocked. I took down the coords and had a shovel with me, so dug to the next level to see what was blocking it. Turns out the coords led to a spot two steps into a wall. I cleared to the spot with a pickaxe and it revealed the stairs making them usable again. Probably good to always bring a shovel or a lantern till this gets fixed! 😉
Edit: I should clarify, once I had dug down, the stairs up were not visible until I had dug them out, so would have been nearly impossible to find without taking down the location first from the floor above.

Tldr; this is a game, treat it as such. We have no rights, it’s not our property.
Would you really want proof to be posted publicly?
Yes, because I believe a proper justice system is entirely transparent. I’m not asking you to divulge proof though, I already now that you won’t. Rather, I’d like the game’s remaining players to be aware of the fact that you won’t, despite it being necessary.
So, this is a pretty intense game. Many people, especially members of Frost Legion put untold hours into this game. It has also been quite punishing with the constant persistence, and the harsh death penalties (which recently I’ve found through experience are a lot more lenient now). Because of this, I see that emotions can run high for this game.. I think that’s one thing that draws people into it, and is completely understandable with the time and effort people put into it. I’ve seen so many hurt feelings on this forum, and have felt hurt myself recently.
What seems to be problematic, in my opinion, is that from these things we start treating this less like a game and hold up our virtual lives to the same scrutiny and morals that we would in our real lives. We should never lose sight of the fact that this is a game. This isn’t our world, and we have no inherent rights to it. The plug could be pulled any day for any reason (or none). We could wake up one day, and the server is just down, RIP. I don’t think it will happen, but it’s an important thing to hold in mind, I think – just for our own peace of mind. I hope the lowered death penalties can help to alleviate people’s pain of loss in this game, and I hope more updates come out soon that help us take it less seriously.
Does it suck to get banned? Yes, definitely. It can feel like a personal attack. It’s reasonable to feel upset and hurt. Also, in my 20+ years of gaming, I can not think of one time that developers for any game have had to produce server logs to justify a ban. Every EULA I have ever seen says that the company reserves the right to terminate or suspend accounts for any reason whatsoever. They don’t need a reason at all.. it’s their property. When playing an online game, I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that those are the rules even without an explicit warning. If people are exploiting (I have no idea if they were or not), it seems reasonable to suspend an account. If you disagree, try to imagine what it would be like if you got killed by an exploiter. Would you want something done? I would. Regardless, it’s still the dev’s right (any dev for any game) to suspend or ban accounts at will, reason or no. That’s just the reality of modern gaming. Gone are the days where you buy a cartridge, and you own it yourself.
Blockquote fail! lol.. Oh I just figured out editing too.. Forum skill (2)!

Hardcore? With a spear? Yes, you’re a Man. Next time give Mr. Burlington a bow and 1k arrows.
Yeah, I know it’s not really a big deal, but it was a pretty fun experiment. Hopefully some other people will feel encouraged to try, and maybe be more impressive than me (which isn’t hard imo).
Nefer, to answer your questions: Getting down to UW31, I found two gold ore rocks, from which I got 1 gold each, although I wasn’t using a pick, so you could probably get more. I’m not sure if the armor type affects the penetration, but I was getting hit for 20 from flame demons in medium armor if that helps. It seemed to be from every hit. That’s actually less than pre-armor changes which was 25, and then 17 after the armor changes but before this patch. So, I think the base damage was lowered to compensate for the penetrating.

Well, it would be super if I was that epic! Sadly, if that is the case, my Awesome Aura(tm) has disappeared following the recent earthquake rearranging the UW. No more explode-on-sight behavior witnessed. As for victim blaming, I saw no victims, just a huge giant raging party! 😉 I think they lost the rest of their MDMA after the quake though, so that was that. Although I did catch two reapers dropping chests with strange devices, so it might just be chill 420 now.
Dinosaurs.
I’m wondering if the bug is related to fullscreen mode. I never use it, and have never had a problem with graphics. I seem to remember there was talk of some kind of chat bug a few weeks ago too, and I never saw that either. I’m using Chrome on Windows 10 if that helps.
Yeah, that restaurant idea was really cool.. 🙁 RIP Restaurant! Thanks for making the effort, Cap. Wish I could have seen it.
Awesome! Thanks for the post Odovir!
I’ve been using medium armor, and it seems a lot more balanced now. I’ve been really enjoying it. Some things do a little bit more damage now like skeletons, making skeleton lords a little scarier, but flame demons and dragons and stuff that hits hard have been reduced. So, now it looks like the damage variety of mobs has been smoothed out. Skeleton lords feel a little more dangerous, which feels right, and flame demons are less scary. My medium armor skill is still pretty low too, like 19 or 20, so I imagine it’ll be even more viable as I level it up. I used to really enjoy heavy armor, but the movement penalty was kind of getting me down before. I think it’s really cool that it feels like a hard choice between heavy and medium for me now.
Thanks for all the support and feedback everyone! There’s been some great ideas here, and some things mentioned in game that I’m considering for balance for this update. It’s still definitely in a rough planning stage, but hopefully I’ll have a new revision soon for JVH. Also, I doubt I could actually leave the game to try to convince him to implement this.. I’m too addicted. :p I’ll just have to come up with another strat. I’ll keep you all posted! <3
Yusss very cool! 🙂
I wonder who will be the first to build a base in the middle of the lake..? :3 Sounds like an awesome expansion. The dagger nerf makes sense too.. they were too crazy. Still good situationally, just like the other weapons now.
