• Pillars can be rotated.
• Added Rift spawning message to Area History.

Seen something about iron plate jacket and such, is it something coming or going to craftable now?

 

[Belfesar 155]

Can we get a plain white version of the cloth hood that can be dyed different colours? or even just a few coloured versions of the cloth hood that match in with the new clothing options?, Hard to match up the clothes as a lot of the headwear just does not look right.

now all i gotta do is wait two months for this to get added to WU

[Arium 321]

nice updates and stuff.

too bad basically none of these points is of any interested to me...

 

but what about the things that somehow got lost over the course of the last months?

like transmutation liquids on chaos, battle rams, underground buildings on chaos, enlightenment fix/rebalance?

[luvable 370]

Braziers and candelabras plant perfectly. The marble planters don't have a plant option though.

• Halter rope can be used to haul stuff up/down instead of rope.

Didn't pass from test to live, so I've removed that from the list.

 

Also, marble planters did not turn out to be sticky enough, so I've also removed that

[Huntar 1,692]

Will candelabras and braziers take damage if they're planted?

textures for new iron plate armor

[Zekezor 3,188]

<3 the new texture.

art devs have my babies.

[Belfesar 155]

Trying not to overreact but I hope that Iron plate set is nothing more than a rumour , It will negate all the hard work us plate smiths have put in to get to a good level and to be able to produce good QL steel.

[Pingpong 1,070]

I am curious how equivalent iron plate is to steel plate, because of how many steps/skills steel plate takes to make vs iron plate. Mine iron, craft plate armor sounds highly appealing even if it's 25% less effective, it's still far superior.

Was the one thing PAS had going for it, Was one of the skills that not many of the playerbase has because of all the associated skills, Iron negates that and will turn it into another common skill.

Iron plate is a very good thing for allowing a more reasonable advance from crappy armors for newer players, especially on pvp where it's very important

What happened to mount horse and get outfitted with plate armor? We're always told "join a kingdom and get outfitted". For that matter, where are all these mythical new players going to come from for the pvp servers? I see lots of talk of "new" players. All I see are vets and recycled toons.

Forgot to finish thought.

Would be no need for it, If the staff stuck to what they said, Was talk of new armour last year or the year before, Ringmail etc

[Wurmhole 3,650]

I look forward to getting the halter rope hauling in a future patch

 

Iron plate... should be nearly equal to steel in protection, but far heavier and must less durable.  Walking in it should absolutely suck.

Not everyone joins right up with a group/alliance (not as necessary on epic as chaos is)

 

Where are the new players?  Dunno, they all join and then once they start getting into pvp basics they suddenly disappear, retention is key and we're lacking in that

Retention must be what? 5% if that ?  tragic, but Wurm is not for the faint-hearted or it would seem the want-it-now generations.

 

Regarding iron armour - this sounds too horrible for words - better to come up with different armour, preferably made of plate, such as ring armour.

if your game is only fun enough for "5%" of the people who join your game sucks no matter what way you look at it. blaming it on the new players is next level ######ry.

A bit over a year late to preventing the HotS Epic capital conversion of July 2015 that caused the majority of our kingdom to quit.
