I propose we remove the Fatigue System from Wurm and replace with something like this:

This is Keenan. Keenan doesn't understand this is a joke. Keenan likes the idea. Keenan implements it for next patch. Don't be Keenan.

I have to somewhat agree here, in case somebody cannot pay for premium because of real life issues he still will instantly loose premium once his premium time runs out. I also have to make sure that every project I work on is doing well even in my absence. That generally applies to every company. It also looks problematic since every developer currently seems to have real life stuff going on, hardly see any devs online nowadays.

Please make adventuring on Freedom more exciting by adding the rare encounter with a son of no gump, or eagle spirit, or drake spirit, or spawn of uttacha, etc. This was one of my favorite things about living in the epic cluster as a mostly carebear style player. Let them trigger on a pendulum that can find legendary creatures. Would add another dynamic to unique hunting, as you'd need to handle the valrei creatures attracting your pendulum before knowing if a dragon is just a bit further.

Hello, It is a pity that Demona had problems irl and I wish her to solve them all. But we are customers and we pay .... Wurm is not a philanthropic work ... shareholders make money ... Regarding the competition deadlines, it's as if you were told when you drop off your broken down car at the garage, "Sorry, sir, but I have problems in my life, come back in 2 months when I can do the repair" It's making fun of its customers ..... too bad for the game ..... and shameful for the leaders of Wurm who take us for cash cows !!!!!!

I was thinking, we could put the memorial for Tich on the community map, as it may be a place of interest for people to visit. It's at her deed at Y26 X47/48

I'd like to be able to mill sandstone to sand, to be used for terraforming, as the only current uses for sandstone are construction and paving.

Plan B doesnt exist in Wurm, not Demona`s fault but to have a contest ended and hanging in the air for a couple of months is not good, same with updates, where other devs normally use the days after to fix bugs etc, wurm just leave a broken update for months, some for years. im on now to pack everything away and get ready for a longer break(permament if things not getting better) As a paying costumer i just cant accept this anymore.

I am just curious as to what was the point of the partnership with that esports company then? Samool said that it was done for this contest So where were they in this? And while its understandable that you had RL issues, but for any other product that we pay for, there are replacement persons and plan Bs for this sort of scenario and one person isn’t expected to do everything in case something happens to them. Which it did. So yes, the dev and management team IS RESPONSIBLE for not planning it out better and having no alternative replacements for over two months to carry this out with. For any other paid product, a secondary person would have publicly come out by now and carried the contest on, while apologising for your absence.

I love my VR heaset. I've done some work-arounds before to try it out in Wurm, and while not having native support damaged the experience a bit, I found it to be quite awesome to actually walk around my deed in VR and feel like I'm really there. It was a fantastic experience, and VR in Wurm is something I would very much like to have. That said, I've been bumping my bug report on the bug forum for literally YEARS and even when a dev told me a long time ago it was being worked on, it was never fixed. I was also very against the AH changes BEFORE they happened, and while lots of people argued with me that it was going to be great and sorely needed, I maintained that there are both far more important priorities for dev time, and that I lacked confidence that the changes would be better than what we already had. I'm not trying to say I told you so (though, I mean, I totally did), just want to say that while I absolutely love Wurm and still pour hundreds of my hard earned dollars into the game, please start listening to your own freaking players. WE are the ones opening our wallet and giving you money. WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE PAYING YOU???? VR? Yeah, would be great, but no. Spend some time fixing issues and addressing the concerns of your paying customers, THEN implement the gimmick that will cause the small financial bump before the numbers revert to normal. If you don't, your gimmick might LOSE you players/money in the longer term as player confidence is fading quickly. I apologize if my frustration is starting to show. EDITED TO ADD: I also want to point out that as someone who started this game on the Epic Cluster, I was there when a badly considered change was implemented despite the ACTUAL PLAYERS ON EPIC all telling you it was a terrible idea, and now my home cluster is a dead wasteland. I want to point out that DESPITE my home server and my home and my friends ALL being eliminated due to badly thought out changes and failure to listen to the players, I am STILL here and giving you my money. Please stop making me feel like a sucker, or like I'm in an abusive relationship just waiting for the abuser to finally change and stop abusing me. Listen to your own freaking players.

This isn't a suggestion for the developers, but for the user base (the people who actually read these posts) The idea is for any players who are interested to form groups that will find locations where abandoned deeds, rift battles, or imp-alongs have left unnatural scars on the land, and tidy them up. How to do so: (this could be partial or complete, to give the impression of natural weathering and decay — or to remove things altogether) removing the paving on roads, house sites, and paved slopes smoothing out the edges of level areas destroying any remaining furniture such as storage bins, looms, beds. With some experienced and skilled players, (plus less experienced but equally willing helpers), this work could be done in good time, and possibly people would have a fun get together too?

I sent you the blackest of blacks. May it please you.

Can we get any news ? Please? I know this thread is monitored since I've noticed deleted posts. Any word at all?

If there were more rarities, names would be least of problems, but these are good. 1. ??? There should be charges pool for all 3 items, so you can select, for example, a ship, part of armor and tool. Using selected tool you can fill pool for all selected items. By wearing armor and performing actions with other tools or killing mobs you also fill pool. So even priests would be able to make their rare items by just casting spells while wearing part of "care for" armor. 2. It's a matter of balance and without information on how often an item appears in a given tier of rarity with current system I don't know is best answer. It depends, if 3 rarity tiers are the maximum, then this period seems quite balanced to me, although maybe 546 RL days for 1 fantastic is too long and 365 RL days would be enough. But if we could convince Devs and add more tiers of rarity, I would also agree that it's too long and the more tiers, the shorter time it should take to obtain rare item. 3. "Items cannot be of same type." - You shouldn't be able to choose 3 items of the same type, so for example 3 pickaxes will not work, but 1 pickaxe, 1 hatchet, 1 piece of armor would work as pickaxe and hatchet are tools, but they are different. 4. I guess this should create an economic loop between newbies and vets, as newbies would be delivering a lot of rare that veterans would need to make supreme and fanstastic. Newbies could earn their first money for deed not by making bricks, but by simply playing with items they think are useful or items that some veteran needs and told them to choose for "care for". Yes, of course, priests would benefit too, as it would be safer to lose 2 common enchanted items, than to risk losing a rare. But such a system seems good to me, because if you want to own a rare weapon, you have to risk losing it. 5. It depends on how many tiers of rarity could ultimately exist in game. If 3 tiers then nothing changes, if it were 6 tiers then maybe instead of +3% for each tier +2% better stats for each tier would probably be enough. With more tiers +1% stats per tier. 6. Well, I don't know, it's not for me to judge, but most work would probably be required to create a charge bar/pool, feature of transforming or destroying items is probably not a problem. I think that rules that exist at the moment are more complex than this proposal.

There actually is atleast 1 people that i know off that play primarily with voice command issued commands due to disabilities and in the past we had 2 more(they have quit) who did make voice lines to individual keypresses while using a custom designed controller to move their mouse and wasd keys but all other interactions like typing in chat or specific key presses were all issued by voice commands this scenario was brought up before in the past(pre this forum) and rolf ruled that if a disability on the hands warrants the usage of such a program that it would be allowed(missing hand malformed hands that kinda stuff) but only for those people not for those who can still use their hands properly not for the sake of botting or automation but for the sake of disabilities yes Also on the whole "you need to be attending this with more attention then just watching tv in the past multiple times its been asked if having wurm assistant action queue sound(and later on pm notification sound) was enough to afk mine with a keybind and that was fine case being hold finger on mouse 4/5 which are bound to your u(u is mine for me) key and upon hearing the ding form wa i hold down my mouse button for a split second upon wall breaking hear other ding press other mouse button to move forward and press and hold key again to repeat mine I have gotten into the flow of being able to do this while playing games like league or watching tv shows or playing other games heck even cleaning(wireless mouse+wireless headset) i will go ages without staring at my screen yet there is no actual macro keys involved just remapped keys so here is my question is that still fine given by essence 1 keypress= 1 action? Asking because this is how many of us do things like mining grinds or digging a bsb full of clay in a day we will sit there wurm on its smallest lowest settings camera pointed at what we want(clay tile walls whatever) keybinds setup and just spend hours doing this while playing other games(note no external software being used in this example just remapping of keys) As if the above scenario isn't allowed then i am at a loss how we all got away with that for years on end be it macro to use 5-7 actions or individual keypresses while we watch a fun movie or do other things Heck to add we can sit there and craft and imp while playing active games purely because alt tab and windowed mode are a thing(wurm in the center if your playing a fps and when you alt tab mouse is center of the screen if the fps is the type to lock the mouse to the center)

Thank you to everyone who bid on this beautiful cart! Congratulations to Gnomegates on the winning bid! Please contact Allakus in game to arrange the trade!

Hey mate, can I get a fierce combo? Mining, digging, mind logic. But I'll have to do taste test first, please send to Itkovian.

1. I am in agreement with this. Just because a single program does not take care of all of the automation, does not mean that is not automation. 2. Yes and no, you are allowed to press in this form. But you do need to remember that we also state you need to be attending this with more attention than just watching tv and not even looking at the screen. 3. Sadly I do agree with this, it would not be allowed. I can bring this up with the GMs and see if this type of program could be allowed. My own feelings(which do not change the ruling) are that it should be allowed. Speaking is a form of physical interaction from my perspective. I do not believe we have set a precedent for this situation, although currently the rules do not allow it. I would try to be more specific with these, but any more information will need to be asked to the Head GM as I do not want to say anything about how our detection works.

Smooshing is hands down the best solution

31s

Quite a good idea. Makes a interesting change to the rarity system. I like it 🙂 Most of the system seems like it would work in the background. All that users need to see is that 3 cared for items have a progress bar towards an increase in rarity. The bar moves up as the user uses the tools/items in their daily wurm life. A number counter for how many clicks or actions could be on the bar for that day or month.... Etc. Then when the bar reaches max level, you can combine them together for a chance at one of them increasing in rarity, while the other 2 get destroyed. It seems very random chance. More so a nice little extra then something to try and farm with alts. As your example showed. It would also be good for the bar to be turned on and off as well for people who don't want to see or use it. ------------------ There is something like this on the wurm unlimited server I play.... Details below: Rarities and smooshing: Three new rarities above fantastic: Epic, Legendary and Unique. Each higher rarity gives the normal increased effects of rarity and items that are at least epic cannot be shattered via enchanting. Epic and Legendary rarities are available via normal rare rolls, but Unique is reserved for special rewards and Smooshing only. Smooshing allows you to combine two items of the same rarity for the chance of increasing the rarity of the target item. The chance to successfully increase rarity is determined by item qualities, if they are the same item, and if they are bulk items or not. Smooshing is only available to characters with KangaWU+

I mean, if something like this would be introduced (with the needed tuning), i guess i would be ok with the gameplay-effects and dynamics of it. But... It has literally no justification or sense in terms of game immersion, sounds like basically another game, has way too many rules and conditions and it's generally a bit of a mess.

Distant rendering mod meets third person mod

Is any of this still happening?

I agree it isn’t Demona’s fault and all this pressure isn’t helping either. But there should have been someone else to continue with it, and they should not have left it for a single person to do.

you really coded a bot that scans log files to make a custom string to input based on what it reads and think it's not logic/automation? enki's already specified that such a thing is automation, but feel free to argue with cm's about it lol

QL 92 Rare Still w/ 10% Less Fuel Usage Rune A still used in distilling alcohol. This is a very rare and interesting version of the item. A iron rune of Fo has been attached, so it will reduce fuel usage rate (10%) From the wiki: "The effects of rarity are unknown, but rarity seems to increase the QL of the beverage and change the affinity the same way rare ovens change meal affinities." (Will likely also burn longer than non-rare, but this is unconfirmed) Starting bid: 10s Increment: 1s No Buyout Sniper Protection: 1 hour NO PICKUP REQUIRED, delivery via mailbox! (For those worried about pickup) Happy bidding, everyone!

Congrats! CoDing to Motec Thanks for bidding, everyone!

Hello Skyefox and Hughmongus. First of all i would like to congrats for your great work with Independence map. Maybe you could consider to add my deed in your map. My deed is called Mountain Retreat what is located in Ghost of Dawn Mount (O17 in game map, and should be in 35x45y in Albia Roads Map of Indy). Also there is a new Highway connected deed with Great Mountain South Road, near to Ravendream deed. Find attached the screenie with deed. Best Regards and have a nice day!

If you look back, you can see a lot of threads over the years of people (including myself) suggesting a cosmetic shop would open in Wurm.. With the idea that the extra influx of cash would help Wurm development. Pretty clear this hasn't been the case. I imagine every cent now goes to GCG who love this current business model of having volunteers develop their game while they only pay a few staff and server costs. We also thought the steam release would bring in quite a lot of cash for wurm development. We also thought the WU release would bring in resources for WO development. With that train of thought....even if VR is somehow an astounding success and brings in high paying customers...will that money actually go to developing content and fixing bugs? Comes a point where you can't break a pattern without acknowledging there's a problem somewhere. Personally I regret I don't have a few million euros around to just buy this game, keep it afloat long enough to develop Wurm 2.0 and migrate people and their skills to new improved lands.

Thanks for streaming parts of my deed. i really enjoyed seeing you walk through Peak View and my Vynora colossus dirt pyramid. and yes i opened the gates to my castle for you the day before you streamed it after we talked. and yes Nightz is building impressive buildings! he is too modest too good luck with streaming\ Rowina

The old motto of "Die and Learn"... 🦆 And how the Ducks laughed at us!

Oh no, please don't waste time on VR for Wurm. You have far more important things to do. I constantly hear about how staff is stretched so thin as it is already and to put content on hold for VR updates. You say it won't slow down regular dev work, but seriously, how can that be possible? Game Chest hire a team to do the VR? Are you all getting paid for more hours in a work day to do the extra work? Where is the extra time and staffing coming from? I don't understand the motivation for VR. VR is going to look terrible anyway, with the current graphics and super weird vehicle movement physics. What happens to your last meal when your cart suddenly starts lurching at high speed, to catch up with all the movements you were attempting to do during a high latency period? You better get some pretty extensive protection clauses for everyone to sign before launching VR. I try not to be aggressively critical of new developments, but I have to say this one is just a bad idea and you are far better spending the time and resources elsewhere.

Awesome news! Not that awesome... Personally, I know my opinion isn't worth 2 boiled cabbages but Wurm right now needs a lot of development into other key areas : bugfixes, adding complexity to skills, people have been clamouring about wanting new mobs, cartography skills, new capes and clothing, adding incentive to play on Epic as maybe a 2 way skill transfer (with reduced skillgain from Epic to account for the curve), maybe add more journal goals, PvP updates or add a new way of trading in game (Auction house), marketing, hiring devs to develop some content, something that needs to be done about the staggering drop in player population, etc. Going VR seems....like something the parent company (GCG) would suggest to sell an alternative version of wurm for extra cash. A similar thing was done by the devs of 7 days to die, where after an entire year of no updates, all they did was add Twitch Integration to the game which pissed off the fans since after 1 year of nothing developed, all that was brought in was something entirely unnecessary that only added negative reviews. I don't think it's the right step. It just seems....too superfluous considering Wurm hasn't gotten a lot of development since the steam release which came with the player expectation with more funding = more development resources. Just my 2 boiled cabbages here. No offence but how many wurmians even own a vr set? 1 % ? Wurm seems to be the wrong demographic for that kind of thing. Maybe I'm wrong. Can I suggest to do a poll to see how many wurmians do want a VR update or support it as a critical allocation of dev resources?
