    The idea i've put forward before that i feel is a reasonable short term solution until a proper rework is done would be this: Give people the option to re-roll one thing from their personal goal list at a time with a cooldown of say...a month? This way noone in the game can say their goals are 100% impossible as they can just keep rerolling one at a time when they get undesirable ones. But the cooldown keeps it from being stupidly easy.

    The god of Wurm a.k.a. Bloody Drongo a.k.a. Emoo vs a lead developer a.k.a. Budda Hi everyone and welcome to another Valrei International! It's been a huge two weeks, with the metal crafting update, metal colours, AND dye-able armour! These are some extremely long awaited systems to be introduced, and I'm thrilled you're all enjoying them so much, from sails to scale, tools to, uh... everything else, these updates have everyone tinkering away and it's awesome to see. While it is something that's been long awaited and requested, it's by no means the only things on yours and our lists, and we'll be working on those systems and getting them out as soon as possible. So we'll be mostly recapping the past few updates in this weeks news, considering major content has dropped we'll be tidying up a bit (And releasing WU beta, I promise!) and taking our next steps too. But first... Patch Notes Mac client issues As many mac users know, we've been having ongoing issues with the client running on mac, and we believe we have found the cause! We had hoped to have the fix available for todays update, but unfortunately some last minute errors delayed it, but we will have this out as soon as possible for you all!. One thing that will not be possible on the mac client will be the accessing the settings via ingame. It's a part of why the issues were happening, so you will need to adjust settings prior to launching the game. That said, we are working on a system that eliminates the issue for good, but it's slightly more long term. We do appreciate your patience in this, and hopefully the new client will be out before any updates. The importance of bugs (or at least reporting them!) In all software forms, bugs creep in from time to time, and it's always a developers goal to reduce their impact and eliminate them, and this is no different for Wurm. We've seen a few circumstances where people have complained about a bug in a random thread, or other channel (IRC, Discord, In game) and question why it hasn't been fixed, and one reason for that may be that that's not where they are reported! We have a dedicated forum section for bug reports for many reasons: 1) It keeps them all in the one location. 2) It allows us to address each bug individually. 3) It allows users to check if the bug has already been reported. 4) It allows us to update the status or confirm bugs being eliminated. These are all extremely important factors, as our dev team monitors them specifically, checking for issues arising and adding them to our internal tracker. Now I know some bugs have been around since the dawn of time, (and rumour has it that Wurm was created in order to put those bugs somewhere), but it does not mean that they are not ever going to be fixed or we don't care. Reasons that would slow us down in addressing bugs are: 1) Not enough information in the bug report 2) No way to reproduce the bug and identify why it happens 3) Low impact, and it simply gets pushed down the list as higher impact bugs take priority. What you can do to help with these is simple, when reporting a bug, make sure to do it in the right place, and make sure to include as much information as you can, and please do not use the in game support system to report bugs, if a bug is sensitive in nature, or potentially abuse-able then a support ticket is best used, but if you use the support system to report other bugs, do not take offence if a staff member directs you to the forum, because that is the place to report them It is also very important that you report the bug on the forum yourself, instead of having a friend or staff member report it for you. The issue may be happening to you specifically, or the server you are on, the colour socks you are wearing or even what you had for dinner. The key here is that if a dev needs further information, the person who experienced the issue is the one they need to reach out to, not a friend of the friend who saw it or the staff member who heard about it second hand. If you still don't feel like reporting a bug, then there's no grounds to complain about bugs going unfixed, it's a group effort from players and developers, and we're shifting some attention to focusing on long-standing and important bugs over the next few weeks and months, so please, help us as much as you can, so the only bugs in Wurm are the six legged kind. Dye-able armour Hidden in a link in a previous Valrei International, dye-able armour is here! The types of armour that can be dyed are: Shields Helms and hats Chain mail Plate armour White cloth Leather Studded Leather Drake Hide Dragon Scale Here's a sample of some awesome dye jobs, from gorgeous to "your clown car uber is here sir" There's a lot to style yourself with now, so make sure to get out there and try it out, and to encourage that, we'll be giving away something shiny! Competition time! We'll be giving a rare long sword, and shield, made from the metal of the winners choice with 90 enchants to the best coloured armour picture, judged by the dev team. We'll be judging on colour, how it matches your armour and equipment, and how much it makes Saroman groans when he sees it. We'll be announcing the winner in the next Valrei International, so submit your fashion here: WU Beta Yes, we know it's late, with the metals and armour dyeing out, we'll be shifting all focus to getting that beta out for server admins and modders to break, it's been delayed a little longer to include the metal types and catch all that stuff, there's a lot in it and I know we've been rather slow in getting it out, but it's worth the wait, I promise! The next projects There are some projects in the works, and we'll be pushing forward with previously mentioned ones as well, the UI update being a large one, as well as animal crates and other things hinted at here and there. I for one am hoping it's more unicorns, I'm a big fan of unicorns and always ask for them! So get dressed up, slap on your most eye bleeding dye, and take pictures for us to mock enjoy! Until then though, keep on Wurming! Retrograde & the Wurm team

    I can't see any logic in this. You're not on "PvE servers only". You have 2 clusters. Epic and Freedom, and Chaos is a part of Freedom. That's it. You didn't choose an option during registration to enter PvE only servers. You've chosen Freedom, and Chaos is a part of it like any other server. It's only up to you, that you don't wanna go there. Your decision, your consequence. It's not like game's technically preventing you from doing your missions. It's the barrier in your mind, only. That's like I'd cry over my goals. My last diamond goal is to improve item above 99QL. "But I don't want to. I've chosen freedom server and my freedom allows me to create only bulk materials. I refuse to do any crafts, and yet I can't finish my goals. Game's broken fix pls" We're talking about winning a game? You get it? Win, lose, those are totally different things, yet strongly connected to each other. To win something, you usually need to deny oneself many things. Every win in a game, life, in your mind has a price. There's nothing for free, and there's nothing supposed to be equally due to all people. If everyone could get everything, there wouldn't be such term as "win" or "lose". That's why people aren't equal as well. There are some, who put a great work, deny everything they had to, and finally they've paid their price to become rewarded. And those, who're claiming they have to got everything just because they can't do something (not technically) or without hard work, or being unable to set aside anything. Those who did and reject everything what's required, have won. Those who didn't, have lost. Simple as that.

    Breeding animals with high animal husbandry skill is very broken. I first played this game in October 2011 and the main reason for breeding has always been 5 speed horses. The benefits of additional traits has really only come to light since WU but still it's the 5 speeds that people want. So how can it be so broken for someone with high animal husbandry? Speed traits are lost, negative traits are gained and colours seem to be somewhat random! Here's four foals from my latest round of breeding. The parents traits are in spoilers. This foal has 8 traits as expected, but 2 speed traits have been lost and "it has some illness" has been introduced. It's also come out gold from ebony black parents! Pretty sure mama horse has been a good girl ..... [15:51:27] It will fight fiercely. It has fleeter movement than normal. It is a tough bugger. It has lightning movement. It can carry more than average. It has some illness. It looks unusually strong and healthy. It has a certain spark in its eyes. It has been bred in captivity. [15:51:27] Its colour is gold. This foal has 8 traits, but lost a speed trait. [19:58:40] It will fight fiercely. It has fleeter movement than normal. It has a strong body. It has lightning movement. It has very strong leg muscles. It looks unusually strong and healthy. It has a certain spark in its eyes. It has been bred in captivity. ] Due to the loss of speed trait this foal has become very unmotivated .... [20:00:42] It will fight fiercely. It has fleeter movement than normal. It has a strong body. It has lightning movement. It has very strong leg muscles. It has keen senses. It looks very unmotivated. It has a certain spark in its eyes. It has been bred in captivity. This foal has 8 traits, but lost a speed trait. [19:56:32] It will fight fiercely. It has fleeter movement than normal. It has a strong body. It has lightning movement. It can carry more than average. It has keen senses. It looks unusually strong and healthy. It has a certain spark in its eyes. It has been bred in captivity. [19:57:12] Its colour is gold. 5 more foals were born from ebony black parents, came out 5 speed, but 2 are grey and 1 is a blood bay. I keep animal ratio on deed between 16 and 19. Now to the uninitiated this may not look too bad, but when someone with much lower animal husbandry skill (meaning they are capped to 5 traits) can churn out pure 5 speeds far more succesfully than some with 90 skill can then it is BROKEN. As an aside I've been breeding a few unicorns for a couple of years, as they're always born with 8 traits I've not yet got a 5 speed from probably 40 foals. Also, what's the point of a 5 speed sheep.

    I tend to think along these lines BUT if others believe it is worthwhile to strive to accomplish these Personal Goals why should I condemn them for doing so. Others doing things I consider to be wasting time means little to me as long as I have my own options to do things that they would consider to be wasting time. In light of this, more options available to suit different player's interests are a good thing, even if I have no personal interest in them. =Ayes=

    100x arrows for 2$.... i think thats cheap. 300 actions at least, make the arrow shafts then make arrow heads and combine + the work to get mats. Well i guess everything is expensive when you cant afford it or you are willing to do it yourself. Like the idea of this Nomadikhan, dont have to play with silvers if dont want to. Makes some peoples life easier when you dont have to first buy the silver and then the goods. Good luck with this!

    Just out of curiosity, what would be so wrong with giving people a long list of choices to choose from? Say we have to commit to the list we make up at first premium. Obviously only actually achievable goals are on the list, so no diabolico thingamajig. As I said earlier, I'd rather have fantastic item, or imp to 99, etc. than anything to do with pvp. Why in the world would that bother anyone else? Say Angel would rather not have imp to 99, but wants a challenging or time consuming pvp goal... Why in the world would that bother me? Imagine Nadroj doesn't see himself ever doing anything remotely fantastic ()... who cares if he wants to choose something else? Sure, some things are going to be tougher than others. So, create groups of choices and make people choose from each section. One nearly impossible, three ya-gotta-be-kiddings, 5 piece-a-cakes, and 12 gooolden rings... or whatever. Seriously, if you were to tell me Nadroj no longer has to do a fantastic item, Woohoo! Why would I want to impose a pain in the arse on him. If Angel said, "ya know, crafting *pukes*." Fair enough, what do I care? The extent to which I care is that it makes no sense for me to want to impose stuff on him just because I enjoy it. Rather than insist everybody must be screwed in one way or another, why not brainstorm a system in which everybody can have fun and be excited by it?

    @Corsan: I'm like yourself when it comes to PvP, I never went to PvP server and never will. But... it's my choice. That choice has it's consequences. I won't be able to complete 5 of my goals. It's as simple as that. When I started playing, I didn't know personal goals exist, found out about them years later. I could change my decision in order to complete the goals (perhaps except the demigod one) but I stand by my original choice. There is nothing more to it, either I go to PvP server and try to "win" the game or I don't. Nobody is stopping me from doing either and nobody is forcing me, it's my choice and my choice alone. It's the same for yourself. Pristine and Release are connected to the rest of the world now so that makes things easier. I could say that I don't play Wurm for PvP or PvE, I play it for the chat and that's all I ever do and it's unfair that I can't "win" the game by chatting to people (I know few people who stopped "playing" and only ever log on for the chat *points finger at Septymon*). I do agree that some of the goals which can't be completed because of bugs or technical reasons like Pristine and Release being their own cluster, should be fixed, no question about it but the reward for completing the goals is worth a lot because it's so hard to either roll an "easy" set of goals or complete the ones we were assigned. I have 11 toons in total, not one of them has only PvE goals, I'm not getting the reward because I CHOOSE not to, just like you do :-)

    Crafting is not versus environment but either way, pve, especially as you define it, exists everywhere in Wurm. PvP does not. There is a very good reason for that which is not lost on a majority of game designers. Again, when you need silly little workarounds that people really shouldn't be using but wink wink, nudge nudge, it's time to quit game design and find something you have a talent for. I do not have a talent for game design, but I do have the requisite experience to know that when people tell you they don't want to pvp, and your game is not exclusively pvp, then you accept it, leave them alone, and take their money.

    This is a whole different kind of "sandbox", lol. To avoid lag, change your client settings. Turn off the number of lights you can see. Turn on LoD and Contribution culling, then set for short distances. Turn off shadows. Make tree, building and creature render distances really short. These things should help a ton. Russ, if you have animals, buildings and items on your deed, you have no justification to ask anyone else to remove things from their deeds. This is just an argument to create drama and you know it. I have no history with you or Glasshollow, so no grudges here.

    On some level I do agree with you. But then again if we separate pvp from pve, then almost none of the goals are pvp goals, which then would mean every single player goals in existance are not doable by PVP players. I am not saying you need to participate in PVP activities, like becoming part of a pmk and doing all things that have to do with pvp. Neither of the two goals mentioned require this. You can go on your own personal time, and complete both of them without having to deal with the intricacies of Chaos. Even the one that requires you to kill another player you could do it by just jumping on the epic portal and completing it there, without much travel involved. If you are ingenious enough, you can simply talk to one of the Epic chaps who would likely help you out to get settled. Many pvers have no qualms going to Chaos to priest up at the white/black light, or had any issues with pulling out an affinity from their alt. This is no different. I think the misunderstanding lies that people see that you have to kill another player, and people quickly assume you need to go join some pmk and participate in some raid or something. You don't. You cross the border, get invited into HotS, kill another player (your friend's alt) or get the crown, and you are done. And yes, both of these two goals are just that easy.
