    Hello all! As previously noted, we will be doing server migrations to Cloudnet today. The plan is to do three batches, two servers at a time. We will not be taking down any other servers except the ones being migrated. First batch: Deliverance Exodus Second batch: Release Chaos Third batch: Affliction Desertion We strongly recommend that you avoid mail and travel with the above mentioned servers until the migrations are complete. We will update this post and broadcast in-game with the status of the migrations. Expected downtime for each batch is about 1-1.5 hours. STATUS UPDATES Mon Oct 05 14:49:58 CEST 2020: Starting shutdown of Deliverance and Exodus. Mon Oct 05 15:39:12 CEST 2020: Copying data over for Deliverance and Exodus. Mon Oct 05 16:19:25 CEST 2020: Final checks before bringing servers back online. Will be a little over the 1.5 hour mark when we're back. Mon Oct 05 16:41:55 CEST 2020: Deliverance and Exodus migrated successfully and back online. Mon Oct 05 17:21:10 CEST 2020: Chaos and Release offline, data is being migrated. Mon Oct 05 17:58:19 CEST 2020: Chaos and Release are migrated successfully and back online. Mon Oct 05 18:05:11 CEST 2020: Shutdowns started for the final two servers: Affliction and Desertion Mon Oct 05 18:55:55 CEST 2020: Migration underway for Affliction and Desertion. Mon Oct 05 19:14:37 CEST 2020: All servers online! Migrations complete!

    This is something that's long overdue, and should not be too difficult considering that bridges already exist. Piling This is a heavy, rounded, wooden pole that may be sunk into the water. A player can craft a Piling from a felled tree using a hatchet. The pilling will weigh ~90% of the weight of the tree, the remainder being turned into wood scraps. A piling may be painted using Tar. Up to four Tar will be needed, depending on the weight of the piling. Pilings can be stored in bulk storage containers. Unpainted pilings and painted pilings will be stored separately. A Piling can be Planted on a tile corner that is below sea level. The weight of the piling limits the depth at which it may be planted. At the upper limit, a 160kg piling may be planted in water 40 dirt deep. If a piling is bigger than needed, any excess wood will be left in the player's inventory in the form of a smaller piling. After planting, the piling will protrude above sea level to a height of about 15 dirt. After planting, a lantern may be attached to the piling. A planted piling will decay in one Wurm month to one year (depending on quality) if not tarred. A tarred piling will last ten times longer. Planted pilings may be repaired or improved using Tar. A tile corner with a piling planted cannot be terraformed. Pier This is a flat wooden deck, held up by pilings. Piers will sit 5 dirt above sea level. Containers and decorative items may be planted on piers. Floorboards may be made into a pier on any tile that has a piling planted on each corner. Floorboards may also be made into a pier ramp, on any tile that has pilings planted on two adjacent corners and two corners that are 5 dirt above sea level. A player in a boat may Disembark onto a pier. A player who is Climbing may climb onto a pier from the water. Piers decay at twice the rate of pilings.

    little change to the combat window hover over to help with some readability issues For Footing Height and footing aren't the same thing, you can have good height bad footing and vice versa and it'll show bad due to one of them being bad even if the other is good, but they are both represented by "footing" in the combat window, and the image looks like a height bonus, not a footing bonus, mildly confusing For distance Should show whether your target is facing you, and if you are facing your target. When fighting multiple people in pve, mobs often spin around on the spot and it can be hard to tell where they are actually facing, this would help alleviate that. Also a nice thing for pvp, where desync often has you facing the wrong way due to your target being a tile or two away from where they actually are on the server. its easy to not need this if you're already experienced with these things and know how to compensate for it, but for someone without the knowledge on these things the game telling you would help greatly.

    How do you propose to deal with whole alliances (or a single person with alts) locking you in and putting you on KoS on all of those deeds, leaving only 2 tiles between them which are easy to be made unpassable (e.g. slopes)? Main reason for the perimeter being implemented in the first place is to systemically stop people from doing exactly this. I would like to see a possibility to completely connect allied deeds but it does pose a risk of being abused. GMs can't be running around the world all day checking and ruling on situations like that. This is why perimeter exists, this is why highways were systemized as well.

    Spelling questionnaire is tough... Greetings Wurmians! As many of you may know we have our very own Twitch channel at https://twitch.tv/Wurmonlineofficial and we conduct community streams where I roam around, get lost, and waffle on for about an hour or two. The focus of this is building the Community aspect of the streams, as dev news isn't always possible, and live stream isn't always the most suitable place for it being revealed, so I want to focus these streams on other aspects of the game, and this is where you come in! Below is a form for you to submit your anonymous feedback about the streams, what you like, what you don't like, and what you would like to see more of! Feel free to fill it out in your own time and share your thoughts with us! https://forms.gle/QH7mvw4ntEfzf5edA Thank you for your time!

    It's possible that reducing the perimeter would just result in the same arguments playing out 1 tile from a deed instead of 5.

    I did calculations once a long time ago on distilling rates. Was xan at the time and stills suffer from lag a ton. Once went 3 days without a drop. But takes about 100 hours to do a barrel. Ql of still doesnt seem effect skill or distill ql that i could find using 20+ stills staggered in ql from 70 to 5ql. Distilled booze was normally around the ql of the input. Never checked to see if ql was skill locked. Burn time is affected by ql but mostly by less than or greater than 70ql on the still. Results in about 30 mins difference. Rare stills burn considerably longer ie a 50ql rare burns as long as a 70 and a 70 rare has maybe 30 mins on a 70 normal. You can get skill ticks from a still... just not often. At 91 skill i can get .01 if i burn 21 stills 8+ hours or atleast enough for the skill tracker to show .01 so .0055 atleast.

    We're going to continue working through it, the first lot of tweaks were far too aggressive, and we took a bigger step in the second lot. We have heatmaps of creatures and can view spawn rates, but I will say deserts don't instantly mean more mobs, just more visibility. Lots of people hunt them and respawning doesn't guarantee spawning in the same place

    Since shoulder pads are not dropped randomly at rifts no more but have to be purchased with rift points that severely decreased the amount of pads we can get, could we get an option to repair them? Its annoying to have damaged items that you are unable to repair. Also improving them could be added too. that would give a chance to turn them rare+ as once again, we do not get rare+ pads from the shop too.

    Paging madnath to a beverages thread... But I will try to answer this from memory, as my brewhouses and coal piles were often mistaken for mass gatherings of lava spiders on the surface... Quality of the still DOES NOT affect burn time appreciably, though it is not something I actively measured so i cant be sure. I know that I got 2 to 2.2 kg of distillate per burn cycle Rarity of the still SHIFTS the affinity by +1, +2, or +3 Quality of the output is NOT affected by the quality of the still Skill gain from distilling is going to depend on the difficulty of the liquor you are attempting to distill. Quality of the end product affects the affinity timer AND how potent it is, requiring less to get drunk. The best method I've found to distill mass quantities is to make multiple stills and place them in a circle - this part can be a bit of a pain, but you can fit 20 stills in a circle in a 2x2-ish area. The circle part becomes important later. Once you have set up your still circles, you will need to mark each quarter of your circle with a wooden sign. I normally labeled them with the number of the still they were in front of, so 1, 6, 11, and 16. Place a large crate in the middle of circle to store wood scrap. Now that setup is done, on to the method: make sure you have enough kindling to light all the stills, as well as enough fuel for a full burn (20kg of woodscrap/still - hence the large crate) Light all the stills in order and when you come back to the first one, fuel all the stills. Now you can go do something else for a couple of hours, but you should check back periodically and refuel them when you get the appropriate low fuel message. Keep in mind that the condenser can only hold 10kg of product, so you're going to want to be sure to pick up product for storage and aging to increase its quality. And that's it. I used to run 80 stills at once and the passive skill gain while they were working was pretty nice, but its a big chore to set them all up and keep checking on them to make sure they dont go out. a burn of 3 rotations (initial lighting and two refuels) would yield 6kg of product per still, or 120kg for the entire circle - enough to fill 2.5 small barrels.

    You would have to go back in time and suggest this in the past to have a chance of it being implemented by the time you need it. Wait, when are you from? Edit: ps if we had time travel, this is exactly the sort of thing it would get used for, tweaking games.

    not sure if suggested, probably has been but if you raise your weapon subskills too high, you literally can't raise the parent skills (mauls, swords, polearms) at a certain point, because the difficulty is too high for a tick im suggesting you add a few weapons that train specifically those parent skills so we can raise them, as most of us are at 95+ in all subskills and stuck at like 50 parent skill something like crowbar does for clubs

    this isn't about the skillgain, it sucks that it gives no skill but as retro told me it's not intended for skill- that's fine but for god's sake make it less awful. Still quality doesn't seem to impact burn length nor distilled quantity over a duration, making it a pain in the ass to distill any decent amount of alcohol. Above, the whisky is one full run of distilling, the moonshine is a full run -~.2kg as we were drinking from them as it was distilling. It's bad enough that mead and wine are awful for getting drunk (requiring something like 8kg to get drunk as opposed to less than 1kg for moonshine), but the fact distilling is such an annoying task makes it all the worse either up the rate that stills distill, up the duration they burn- or base either off the still quality pls and ty

    Exactly. And the cost for extending your perimeter beyond that is a fraction of a cost compared to extending your actual deed - all you're doing is declaring more land that can't be claimed by anyone, keeping an extended, unowned distance away from you. The best use of this is to ensure that, sometime down the road, you CAN extend into that extra space with a guarantee that someone else's perimeter won't prevent you from doing that.

    What that says is that you retain the right to remove yourself from the highway system, by removing the Waystone that identifies your presence. And then you can remove the catseye chain that connects your deed to the main Highway, because you're not changing the highway, you're just removing yourself from it. The key words there is that you can remove deactivated catseyes once you've removed the Waystone. You can't just remove an unbroken, active string of catseyes that happen to be on your deed willy-nilly. Someone who extends their deed and uses that extension to cut off a Highway without replacing it is a guaranteed GM call, and it will not go well for the Deed owner.

    Your idea would not prevent dramas nor make our community healthier. It would change what the arguments were about, and how people were abusing the rules, but it would not fix anything that's currently broken, and would add new problems.

    ack.... that horrible thing about perimeters.... really... if you want to do a good thing, dev-team, then put a restriction onto the perimeters! as an example: only foraging and botanizing are allowed. nothing more! and only if you really want to expand your deed then you have the permission. okay... roadbuilding should be doable. but only the deed-owner should have the permission.

    1 tile perimeter x2 is not wide enough for a highway; people attempting to "thread the needle" will not be able to get past them without either going around or getting explicit assistance from one (or both) of the two Deeds. It might even be impossible to do without both deeds changing default permissions related to planting roads and catseyes.

    Add optional 0 perimeter, it would be nice to plant deeds side by side without perim gaps in which ppl can bash&loot your stuff.

    I'm not sure I grasp your diagram, but you can't have any tiles of a building (completed or not) under a bridge. You can connect 2 or more buildings via bridges, but they still remain individual buildings.

    I'm suggesting an additional spell be created for Libila, following the theme of other weapon enchants. Essentially, it would work exactly the same as frostbrand/firebrand, except the additional wound caused would be acid. The main reason i'm suggesting this is to provide symmetry across all the 4 gods for the symmetry they already have: Currently, 4 offensive and defensive jewelry enchants exist. Fire, frost, poison and acid. These enhance all damage of a certain type by a small percent, which can be increased by wearing even more of the jewelry. Fo has access to Toxin and Acid Protection. Vynora Glacial and Fire Protection. Mag Blaze and Frost Protection. Libila has access to Poison Protection, and Corrosion. This creates a strange situation, where the WL kingdoms have a +damage enchant that relates to weapon enchants they can provide (frostbrand, flaming aura, venom) as well as the defensive counterparts except for poison. On the flip side, Libila only has access to Corrosion, which increases the damage dealt of 2 (AFAIK) libila spells (one of which is fungus trap, which deals minimal damage to begin with). This can also apply to weapon imbues, but i think it's rather silly that they can only make use of the damage enchant if they can get an imbue- of which i'm not even sure if its possible to apply them (as skilling imbues cannot be used/applied currently) as of right now. Additionally, Libila has access to two damage based weapon enchants that overall don't add up perfectly to the WL counterparts: RT only adds up to 20% damage (from 30% for FA/FB, Venom notwithstanding) while causing the wound to have a harsher healing penalty (usually not important). BT can only be cast up to 1k initially, and anything past 7.5k must be gained from pvp, meaning a priest at best can only provide a weapon that deals 3.3% more damage, and purely from grinding on creatures, the weapon can only gain up to ~25% bonus damage. BT has a side-effect of have an (at 10k stacks, mind you) 10% chance of causing a wound to degrade 10x as fast as normal, which can be pretty deadly. (not to mention this requires quite a bit of time) On the other side, WL priests can gain up to 30% extra damage from their enchants (again, venom not withstanding- which has a weirder function of not doing more damage but having a strange glance mechanism). RT/BT do have an upside where they increase the RAW weapon damage, rather than applying a second wound- meaning they are better for hunting uniques with and gaining weapon skill; though i'm not sure if this is enough to make up for a big loss in damage and opportunity cost for other spells. BT has a significant advantage over WL kingdoms however, as it's the only weapon enchant that can be cast on bows. I think the change could happen in two ways: 1. Remove Rotting Touch and replace it with Corrosive Edge; a spell that adds up to 30% damage as an additional acid wound just like FA/FB. 2. Add Corrosive Edge in addition to Rotting Touch, but allow Magranon priests to cast Bloodthirst; providing a more 'round' circle of synergy. I'm more in favor of 1, as libila lacks a lot of the variability that all 3 WL gods have in terms of enchantments, and taking away a unique enchant for her while maintaining unique enchants for WL feels wrong; and i think having BT be the main 'increases raw damage' would reinforce its niche, while making RT less of a "pretty much universally worse enchant than FA/FB but it's what we get" Or you know just release the Wurm as another BL god and we can seperate spells between it and libila and have libila be a zombie/enchanty/healy god while Wurm does all the combat casting

    Yes, indeed, thanks to Katrat and the work she did in preparation. Actually, this rift was under not that good auspices as it clashed with the black dragon slaying on Release. And though I sailed through all the way I only managed to arrive short before end wave 2 bringing a few free horses I picked in the lakes inbetween, and (fortunately with my priests with me) managed to summon three other players. And it was a pleasant rift battle though. Katrat had indeed done a nice job with camp preparation. Rift habits change over times. I cannot say that I am so sad that the utterly crowded rifts where you struggled to get an attack slot on an opponent at all are no more, or at least rare. One should also mention that preparation needs have changed. One safe camp is completely sufficient now as the rift creatures do not stray beyond the area anymore targeting any creature, hitched horses in particular. So it is ok if people arrive in time as long as they arrive at all. And that has changed towards better compared to last year. During my more intense rift activities I repeatedly had rifts with only 3 or even 2 participants (hello Kgorski, Wulfmaer ). This year was considerably better, even under the unlucky situation of a public slaying occurring concurrently.

    This entire guide illustrates how bad distilling is. A 20L distiller takes about two hours to process everything inside; I know wurm is all about things taking forever but this makes even less sense when time in game is orders of magnitude faster than time in real life. It'd be the equivalent of distilling something for days at a time, which is absurd.

    Another reason for display racks, we could show off the skins we have on items. I currently have an adorned pickaxe and a spiked club lying on my bed because I like the look of them and if I rack them all I see is the rack. Skins lose their value if we can't show them off.

    Laptop running Macintosh (or whatever apple is now, sorry I last used in 1993) or windows will run it fine. The components in many tablets or smartphones just can't handle the stuff wurm throws at them. I run CrossfireX two radeon 8gb RX580 red devil graphics cards both overclocked and an 8-core 4.2ghz processor with 32gb RAM and still get 40 FPS with shadows on in this silly game. There's no way an android device on the market today is going to run this game with more then 10fps imo.

    My friend and I did build a safe zone and cleared the area between the safe zone and the rift center of trees. Though admittedly I did not have any altars as I do not have a priest, I did have cotton, covers, food, and even water and wine for those who wanted it, all on an enchanted grass tile. Granted I was the only one who did this but it was enough I think for those who attended and I was quite welcoming of any who came late or not. And I and my friend did have fun and I like to think that the others did as well. Having said that yes it would have been nice to have others there beforehand to help and I do not agree with the practice of continually showing up late to leave all the work to others while still reaping the rewards. Yet one of the rewards is rift points and since I was only one of two who was there from beginning to end I certainly gained more than I expected which I was quite happy with.

    a simple fix would be to make it so that 70-100 there are points to hit where you no longer breed certain negative traits. For example, at 70 you no longer get hungry horses. at 75, different leg length. etc with inbreeding being at 100

    Well the pandemic hit. Without enough information about how bad it would be, I have been staying on water on my way to a lake for the summer. I am currently restocking supplies for my stay on the Kentucky lake for a while. At least until the end of hurricane season. Today I picked up more fishing equipment, a machete, knife and hatchet. Noob starting gear? I plan to find a cove to set up in. I will have to find a good location and set up a Wurm Offline deed. Then I can start writing up my adventures once I find a spot I want.

    Getting back to the topic at hand, what improvements? Personally, I've been thinking about doing a mod for WU that would make improving an item a bit less boring and reliant on more than just a basic improve skill. I was designing up a system where you'd actually have specific types of damage to repair and specific actions to do. It would be more complicated than the current system, however I would augment the net gain to keep things in line. I just dislike the way it's "1,2,3,4,i,r" at the moment. Oh, why a WU mod? Because it's the perfect sandbox for developers too. I just lack the time to do it right now really. I can't justify working on a side project like that when I have Wurm-related work to do.
