    Rift loot range has been slightly increased. In order to be eligible for loot upon killing a Rift creature you need to be engaged in active combat and within range of the creature as it dies. This means any strategies of “tagging” or scoring hits and moving on to increase participation will severely reduce chances of getting loot.

    There are other threads that mention spidersilk and I wanted to revive the concept, plus add some specifics I'd like to see with it. First off, there are different types of spiders: Giant, Lava and Fog. I think each should drop silk of different characteristics in armor crafting: 1. Giant drops the strongest silk, providing the best overall physical attack resistance. 2. Lava silk is less for physical, but high flame resists. 3. Fog - you guessed it, bonus to dodge and stealth (those bloody bast...). Spidersilk by default should weigh than cloth and provide the same movement and no impedance to combat or spell casting, but be as protective as leather armor. It should also require it's own skill, under tailoring. "Wurmhole, you jerk! That would ruin all my years of work skilling cloth and leather crafting!" Well, to answer: not if we limit the silk drops to only rare rolls when butchering. Also, we need to make spidersilk behave like leather imping, where the silk QL can be lower than the crafted item. Please consider drake hide armor. Did it kill the leather armor market? Nope. Why not have spidersilk craftable by CT skill? Because I want everyone to have equal opportunity to raise themselves up to master crafter levels, at the time it is introduced. How do we skill this, with it being so rare? We also add a coin pouch. This tiny little pouch can be crafted from a single drop of silk and imped for days on a second drop of silk. In fact, the super stretchy qualities of spidersilk make using it to improve have an almost imperceptible amount of loss over time. - Coin pouch would have the special quality of combining all coins into larger amounts & auto gather coins from praying. - Imping coin pouches raises QL VERY slowly, due to the incredibly intricate nature of the materials (yes, so we don't have to make 100 pouches and have them all taking up inventory space, or using up too much silk to level the skill). I detest the wastefulness of wurm's current craft grinds, making 100 needles, 100 butcher knives, 100 rope tools, 100 ores, etc. Finally, we have to have spidersilk packs! Weigh half as much as a satchel and carry as much as a regular backpack. By the time this is released, I'm sure the excitement of the 10yr knapsacks will have worn off and everyone will be itching for the latest packs to show off. Appearances are everything!! Make the armor and packs reflect the spiders they came from: - White - Orange - Somewhat greyish/foggy/smoky looking, without looking like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown cartoons. I think that covers it, but please add more suggestions or changes to keep this viable. PvP? Not sure how good or bad this will impact it, but I imagine it would be similar to the release of drake hide armor.

    Thats a nice design and a free horse too! For anyone who is interested I'll be doing some planting this saturday along the Lormer-Linton highway on Xanadu. The shrines will be along long stretches of road and at most major intersections, the plan is to have dyed dog statues pointing the way to Lormer and Linton. If you'd like to join me I'll be starting at roughly 4pm Saturday GMT from Black Forest Nemeton (Q13) and would welcome any helping hands and supplies people want to invest into the wayshrines!

    Number 3 on... What about Healers?
  9. 2 points
    umm.. I've received one or more rewards from each rift I've done, beyond the final lump. I usually have 2-4 characters participating though. The rewards are not supposed to drop every time for everyone. Otherwise, we would be flooded with new loot in the market and it would all lose value and be pointless anyway. THe point is to keep doing rifts in the hopes that you finally get a prize or two. Seryll lumps are nothing to sneeze at. Considering you can sell them for 2-4 silver, depending on QL, it makes doing rifts as profitable as any other 2hr grind I'd think. Great FS boost while you are at it.

    Excellent move! Next for rifts: Healer love? I'd bring a cart full of healers, if there was any reward for healing.

    Yeah, I am whining to a degree because 'i want my stuff', but i really was angry enough to post, expecting a lot of "QQ moar!!" replies. This isn't some small event, its a 10th anniversary and should be treated not only as a reward, but as a potentially good marketing tool. Unfortunately, as pointed out, they obviously didn't understand the impact of "free stuffs!!" as anything more than some silly weekly event. The real impact is 4 accounts will not be sub'd, and a further 7-9 accounts -might- have potentially come back but 100% will -not- because my anger vented out on them. Its consumer driven focus that should perpetuate these events, but they do not, either for a lack of resources, understanding, or cohesion.

    The anniversary thing was just Wurm trying to get more subs lol. We'll see that 700 drop again in 2 months time. Wurm needs to to work on features which will retain players rather than features which aim at enticing them to reprem again for a single time only mostly resulting in them getting a gift they can sell on for a profit.

    Ya ... pretty sure no one is mentioned lately becuase we are all still waiting... Just in case not clear it say on December 4th 2015: >> Digging! Another upcoming change will be that digging will now work similar to mining, with the dirt appearing on the tile, as opposed to into your inventory. This will only be for digging, and levelling/flattening will continue to work as it does currently. << ... just saying this one went beyond a suggestion and .... nothing

    I have done some custom modifications to the bounty mod for my server already. I know it pretty well. The external tool ... If you could make a tool like this that appropriately writes a properties file for the bounty mod, I could help you on the modding side to get the bounty mod updated to handle the drops. If you can't make such a tool (I don't have time to do apps), it can be pretty easily explained how to work the properties file so that people could create drop tables for whatever creature they want (expanding on what is already there). What would be helpful for this however, and for another mod I am working on it would be a handy thing for people that use it, is if someone would do the tedious task of going through the item templates and getting all the template id's for all the items and making a neatly organized list. Because what would need to be in the properties file is like Troll_Bounty=1000, 179, 24, 210, 30, 99 (where first number is coin, second number is first chance item, third number is second chance item, fourth number is third chance item, fifth number is lowest possible drop quality, last number is highest possible drop quality). This is based on quick thought, may need to have more for material or whatever, wouldn't have the full specs until I actually dug into it. However it is possible, if enough people are interested it would be worth the time to work on. I would do it as a fork off Walker's to make sure he retained credit for the original mod creation, cause he did a lot of really good tedious time consuming work. It may be possible too to have loot be on the corpse of the killed creature, I would have to do some tinkering and testing on that first. I am sure it is possible but not positive it is within my capabilities at this time.

    From the dirt to the decorations, re-building a town that I started in with all of the people on this build, has been an absolutely amazing opportunity. Speaking for myself and everyone else I'm sure, this project was awesome! We had great times and late nights, but every one was worth it. The tireless nights are over, the memories made and to last for all of our time here, the fear of the secret forever banished below, the project complete. Speaking for everyone, we couldn't be more proud to present... The new Esteron!

    Once again, it's not WU messing up player retention, it's the players themselves. One can't drive in a straight line, the other one can't stand newbies surviving for too long, so bugger everyone else. Yeeeeeh WU is definitely what's driving players away.

    So far I've enjoyed the rift I attended and walked away with a nice lump of seryll. This is mostly because I had some downtime in between healing (usually after LoF casts) to poke monsters with my spear. A role often overlooked is that of the healers, we're busy people who sink a lot of prep time into keeping folks alive. Not just the magic healers but those helpful people who run around applying cotton and covers. It would be nice to see a small participation gain for healing people (WITH A DIFFERENT IP ADDRESS) in the rift area, be it by first aid or by magic. For magic make it based on the mana expended: 1/4 of a point (rounded up) per person hit by a LoF cast Maybe 3 points for a full heal 2 points for a cure serious 1 point for a cure medium wound A 10% chance for a point with a cure light For the mundane healing just make it based on the type of wound: 3 points for treating a serious wound 2 points for treating a bad wound 1 point for a medium wound A random chance (10%) for a point when working on a light or less wound.

    It does flat addition afterwards to the value. It turns out to be about ~2% increase after the flat additions are done, check setDamage in CombatHandler. Look here for the thread I made a while back, which I assume was the reason it got fixed in the first place.

    Last rift I fought with my main and left my Nahjo parked at an altar that turned out to not be outside the aggro range lol. For the entire rift I fought, earning 8th place while my alt healed almost non stop and only earned last place because at the very end I ran him into ranged and did a few heals. Now if we need to change our tactic to be included, that is fine. But it would be nice to know exactly what will be required to get credit for healing. Is it possible to use a system like lots of MOBA and FPS where healer gains a portion of it's targets points?

    He has some really nice maps from quite a few years ago from past iterations of his game. I have been trying to find a good way to do it, he gave me one to try to work with. I tinker with it in my spare time but mainly when I translate it into a heightmap I have problems with the northern section because its either snow or light sand on the original map, which when converted to a heightmap makes some gnarly cliffs lol.

    EDIT: The first lot of treasure chests poofed. Retro said they will be replacing them daily in different locations. So feel free to keep posting new locations here. The ones below are no longer available. Also, seems they are one shot use only. So if you got something out of the first lot of chests, and that chest is found somewhere else and you go there, you won't be able to get another prize out of it. Basically, you won't know if you already got something out of the chest or not before you actually get to it... There are seven chests hidden around Release, and Rolly told us about four locations so far: 1. One east of colonia carrera just off the road, 2. one east of logi (the tortoise in front of the Vyn Colossus) at spawn, 3. one on the south end of Harvest Moon island, 4. one in I 23 on the west coast of the larger Island there. If anybody finds the other three, please post their locations here. Each premium char can get a prize from each of the seven chests, mostly moon metals and sleep powders. Worth going on a trip around the server to visit them all

    I think a lot of it had (has) to do with perceived societal roles thrust upon us and the feeling we must comply to be accepted. I grew up in southern society where roles were very defined for generations, even to what time of year white clothing could be worn. My generation was the first to rebel against most every moire that made no real sense. Leave math to the boys? Hell, no! Men don't cook or clean? My boys did their own laundry from a very young age and both are excellent cooks today. More than just the society and gender roles was what I'll call age-stage expectations: pressure to conform was exerted in subtle and overt ways to 'act your age'. A woman of 50 should never wear the clothes she wore at 20 or 30 even though she was probably in better shape, a person of 60 should be retiring even though they are at or approaching intellectual peak with vast experience and resources - not because they functioned less well, but because greedy corporations realized they could hire noobs cheaper. Humans are very susceptible to persuasion and perception is very important to most - everything to some. Technology was a major tool in allowing us to change that, and to continue the change. Previous generations gave in to the pressure to retire, sit down, die .. not this one and not any in the future! Our minds are marvelous wonders of nature, but like anything we use it or we lose it. The 'golden years' should be the most active, entertaining, challenging and fulfilling! When your time is your own to work, study, play and do whatever the hell you want when you want - and if you don't have the money to leave home and do it, do it online! Just open the windows to let in fresh air once in awhile! ;-) I have to add as I sit here drinking coffee waiting for sunrise - if the young people are blown away that older folks use technology and play MMOs so well - they'd really be mind blown if they knew what else we do!

    Yes, but... Work this out. You have to open the cart, offload, disembark the cart, click the ladder, climb up, find and activate your rope, find and right click the offloaded crate, click to haul up, (do this several times if more than one crate involved), then find and click the cart to haul up, then embark the cart (cause you can't load stuff onto a cart without actually being on it as the commander), find each crate, load each crate, disembark the cart, pull it to where you need to use the stuff.... How many clicks is that? Carpal tunnel syndrome, anyone? (The same can be said about not being able to harvest or gather sprouts from a cart, yet you are able to pave from one? But that is another gripe for another thread.) I think all changes should be looked at in relation to the amount of mouse clicks it removes instead of the amount of mouse clicks it adds. More mouse clicks = bad update. Hauling is tedious, and if you develop carpal tunnel, it is even dangerous! We would like to ride our cart straight up the stairs instead. Also, please fix carts and wagons NOT following terrain. Riding with your cart parallel to water at all slopes is irritating. Seeing as they could follow terrain before, what is the problem here? The tours around servers is a great idea, I always wanted to visit the sights on other servers, to see what others do in Wurm. The creativity always amazes me.

    I think you are misunderstanding some items. Credit card companies do recognize virtual goods as items having value. The only issue is that unlike physical goods that can be mailed/tracked are easier to identify and regulate. In this case due to IP/Privacy laws, we have no proof that the buyer actually received the items. This is where virtual goods and physical items separate themselves in disputes such as this. Netflix isn't a virtual company. Revenue also doesn't directly represent net worth or it's value in being traded publicly. Netflix has infrastructure/rights in over 100 countries. On top of being a production company that makes high equality content. Also Netflix is a monthly/continual service, not a virtual good or item that you are buying. I know the point you're trying to make but it isn't the same thing. Netflix is a very tangible company. The issue with virtual items is that you have to distinguish a clear chain of buying and selling. You have to guarantee that Mike who lives at X place and uses X credit card is actually real. PlayerAuctions a website for middle man trading of largely unprotected virtual items hit the nail on the head. They require all people to register when buying/selling proving their address/Photo ID being held by the person. In this way they will win any dispute and every dispute as they can provide the IP/Geo-Location as well as prove that "Mike" did in fact buy the goods. Credit card companies do actually investigate credit card fraud. While they do not often do small transactions. If it's rampant/consistent they will investigate. You can be charged with fraud as well for falsely reporting them. Your credit score could be tanked by a credit company or you could be prosecuted. Either way I don't suggest doing it. How ever there are certain stores that allow charge backs within a time period for virtual items. Though these do not pertain to any credit card company. Unauthorized Charge is the only way to initiate a charge back on a gift. Fortunately for us in this situation. He will have little evidence to go on if peoples assumptions are right. If he is a young man who spent money he didn't have and didn't bother to properly hide himself he's doomed. If it's a child of the real paypal owner. He'll still be held accountable and charged as the amount exceeds a felony level. Then let's not also forget that it's identity theft / most likely forgery as he didn't have permission to use the card for those purchases. The charges will take 1-3 months to be adequately disputed apparently. Either way Niru was dumb enough to buy WU on a Steam account that's over 8 years old. I contacted Steam and got them involved with the charge backs. In this case I wanted to establish history as a reference point to confirm the identity of the buying party. Steam does fight the charge backs that happen outside of the Steam store. So unless Niru has no associate with the real Neil Hicks. This should be a win for any seller.

    The game is running on four flat tires through quicksand and someone has pissed in the gas tank. Sorry, but the days of having hope while the devs and "PR" make empty promises ain't cutting the mustard anymore. Time to stop checking in and seeing if the game is making progress enough for a return.

    Epic: "Well, we wiped Elevation and PvP hasn't magically gotten better. Any other ideas?" Chaos: "Let's wipe it again!" Epic: "..." Chaos: "But this time, force them to move to a server that they deliberately chose not to play on, make them buy PMKs, and then let those landless, 5-person PMKs get kicked in the nuts by the bandwagoners that own the entire server. That'll make them want to play again!" Since Epic and Chaos populations are more or less equal (though at the time of writing this, Chaos has 22 people and Epic has 40), if we're really serious about a merge, let's do it in true Wurm fashion: leave it up to RNG. Flip a coin. If heads, Epic gets nuked. If tails, Chaos gets nuked. Loser has to move to the winner's cluster. And if you're not willing to accept the possibility of your own server getting deleted, you're in no position to demand that other people have their servers deleted. And besides, when you consider that 70% of Epic consists of home server players who aren't interested in that type of PvP in the first place and would probably choose Freedom over Chaos, and another 10-20% are Ele players who would quit after having their work deleted (again), Chaos would gain, what, another dozen people divided out over the US/Euro/AUS time zones? Hope that temporary boost is worth pissing off half of your PvP playerbase that you're trying so hard to resurrect. Truth is, Epic and Chaos are both suffering population-wise. A merge would be yet another bandaid and yet another mass exodus from the PvP side of Wurm. Just because it would help you does not mean it's good for PvP or the game in general. I'm not the type to throw out these types of threats casually, but a large number of people would quit from this. And when PvPers leave, so does the money that they bring in, and that makes it even harder for Rolf to justify spending dev resources on this side of the game. Then, the updates that you're all crying so much about -- you know, the ones that are supposedly going to revitalize PvP and bring in new blood before our servers die altogether -- will take longer to be added, assuming they even get added at all. Hasty, high-impact decisions are part of what killed PvP on Elevation, and they can absolutely kill PvP on Chaos as well. And I really hate to throw stones at other PvPers during times like this, but this has to be said: Chaos has long held the reputation of hosting some of the most exploitative, metagamey PvPers around. Not everyone, obviously, but enough for it to be a noticeable stain on what should be a proud, historic server. But since winning is clearly the most important part of any game, you have to stack everyone you can onto your kingdom, no matter how heavily you're already dominating the map (honor is for losers, like the Mongols). Drop empty war deeds everywhere so your enemies can't expand or drain without it showing up on Twitter, at which point you can teleport in from anywhere to defend. But because dying on Chaos means you also die in real life, this defense should include the use of throwaway alts wherever possible. The alts that you use to artificially inflate your fightskill and give yourself affinities will work perfectly for this. And if somehow you still can't win by doing that, abuse any and all bugs you know of, because lord knows Code Club won't punish you for it; hell, if by some miracle they don't let you keep your cheated skills or your bugged weapons, just throw a tantrum on the forum about "GM intervention," because everyone knows you're the real victim here. And the weirdest part about all of this is, we all treat this cancer as if it's such a vital cornerstone of Wurm PvP that nobody even considers the possibility of disrupting the Chaos side of things for the sake of this supposedly all-important merge. Instead, simply use Chaos's little brother as a guinea pig for new features which will eventually make their way to Chaos, and once you've squeezed all the usefulness and life out of him, absorb him back into the fold for your own benefit. Same song, different verse.
