Stealing has been broken for a few years now and on the bug list: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/158784-stealing-black-bear-rugs/ https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/162281-bug-stealing-skill-has-been-broken-for-awhile/

That just encourages preying on smaller communities. Someone that lives on xanadu where they need 100k prayers could be stalking someone on one of the dead servers to see when they meet their goal. The only way to prevent that would be to make it a real time update, which of course would then allow people to come over and block casts, the same as people logging in to get a rite in the past would block the cast
-
I have nothing else to add to this other than yep. Myself and Sme had to make the rite of death happen on inde ourselves because it was never going to happen otherwise, probably on any server seeing as my cast was the only one since the existing favors from priest overhaul time was exhausted. We had to spend weeks with an army of accounts praying so much that fatigue was a constant issue in order to do virtually all 100k prayers ourselves (we counted our logs in notepad++) which is also why I didn't make any threads about making it public and only asked my alliance. Because you know... opening it to the community is what gives the option for people to steal it. Find me someone that puts in 99% or more of the work to something that will happen as a "community effort" once a year if at all seeing as there are no other rite of deaths before or after, and is willing to let someone else steal it, and I will show you a liar. The system forces people to go behind the community's back in order to get what they want without being screwed over by those that did nothing at all. Kinda like when there was a private pm to cast holy crop and one of the participants kingdom mates come over from chaos and steal the cast, working with the community results with getting screwed over because bad apples will ruin the whole bunch.

The problem is everyone claims to want what's fair, but what we all think is fair is not all the same. Some people think the first merge gave epic players too much skill on freedom and was unfair, I think I got shafted in the merge and it was unfair, which is a good example that we will never agree on. Algorithms and doing math on paper does not equate to the many different play styles and methods someone can take to get a skill, and the more drastic the difference is between freedom and epics skilling system, the harder it will be to find something that majority can call fair. The simple fact that one person can be grinding with 20-30m sb a day while the next person will have a satchel full of bought powders is not something that can be known or accounted for, and the one without the luxury of throwing away many euros/silver on sleep powder will have spent basically twice as long grinding the skill, yet they would be nerfed the same. There's also the fact that fight skill gets nerfed despite grinding at the same speed on both clusters, but I guess that's another story
-
I've been solely a freedom player ever since the skill merge while still having been playing freedom before it (or you know, starting on the freedom cluster too), I am not playing new elevation or epic at all still since the merge, and I am even grinding 70 prayer on freedom instead of epic. I still think it's fair for epic and freedom to share a skill set rather than just one way, and I have absolutely nothing to gain from it. What's not fair is people on the freedom cluster demanding everything that was unique to epic and then continuing to treat epic like second class players that deserve nothing and should be ashamed for even asking
-
Treating epic as a risk free playground for freedom further pushes the idea of epic being second class and less important, and well, that's what drove epic to the state of 0-10 players per server pre-current hype, and will continue to happen as long as epic is still not considered equal with the freedom cluster

I'll always support this as I always complained about rain making wurm run worse and kept asking for this for years, but I wouldn't expect it because I was always told that rain shouldn't cause issues Though there's also the fact I want it hidden more because heavy wurm rain feels like lines being scratched into my eyes, which makes wurm painful to play similar to when we get blinding snow
-
5-6 years before epic was released is at least 1 year before wurmageddon, even worse off when you talk about drawing stages. I'm not sure if you understand that epic is nearly 8 years old The rest of your post is a whole lot of rage and not a whole lot of actual fact. You aren't even taking in to account that most people pre epic did not have the option for endless sleep powder, because sp with prem wasn't a thing. The one thing you did get right was that the merge wasn't fair, because in many cases it took away too much skill.

it was already like this on challenge iirc, maybe test allows it I don't recall, but it's definitely there somewhere so can't be that difficult. I'd also like this on frowns too though, so I can see how bad I am

2600 [Fixed] Demigod sermons read favor of demigod instead of template god
MrGARY replied to Ostentatio's topic in Server Bugs
That's weird, it's the same line in the patch notes for live release as well, the overhaul thread was just easier to find. It means it's intentional that even 20 of the same 100 faith player god priests are unable to cast a rite for their journal without relying on a lone template priest to link to for a cast. -
2600 [Fixed] Demigod sermons read favor of demigod instead of template god
MrGARY replied to Ostentatio's topic in Server Bugs
They were supposed to be shared all around as if they were the same priest, weren't they? So template and player god fill the same pool and both can cast from the same pool It's the intention I recall, and even from the priest overhaul thread "Rites now function off of template god favor pool when cast by a demigod." -
I ain't opposed to encouraging more steel use, as the current bonuses for steel aren't enough to make me think it's worth the extra headache of making steel. But nerfing something else to encourage using it is never the answer.

Unless I'm missing a change of story in some other thread/medium, the one posting here was about the quick jump in prayer, not faith. Nothing changed in the temporary prayer gain from champing mechanic and champing to complete the prayer skill goal is not new and widely known

alright but the difference is imagine if you were able to take a bite to fill your ccfp bars and then refresh for more than a decade and it was widely known and used as intended working, you wouldn't suddenly be concerned it's an exploit would you? Now imagine you will get penalized for doing something that, and I emphasize this, has been a game mechanic for more than a decade and without an ingame warning telling you not to. Wouldn't you be upset? Now imagine this happens after you were already previously banned in error a while ago, wouldn't you be more upset? This is what has actually gone down and is why people are upset. They don't want a sorry after the fact, they want to not get punished for someone else's error in the first place. They probably don't want to be called toxic for being understandably upset about it either, but as you can see, it's that easy to assume you understand and just call people toxic when you don't

I don't know if you misquoted but this has nothing to do with wondering why people should contact staff to find out if there's risk involved in doing something when there's nothing to tell them they need to in the first place

If there's nothing anywhere to let people know that something could be off to begin with, why would someone contact a staff member? If I wanted to champ to complete my 70 prayer goal knowing I would dechamp back to 50 faith, and I didn't see any post made just before about a sudden penalty for champing, and there were no ingame alerts while going to do it and not before doing it, why would I contact any staff member to do something thats been done for more than a decade? Should I contact a GM before I drop food in a pile under my pet every time I go to feed it just to be sure I won't be breaking any sudden rules that I would never know to expect?

In the time I played with no one as sotg and everyone as sotg, even though I was a sotg supporter I agree. Unfortunately, the issue is how sotg was needed to compete with the ever increasing damage outputs we do. It's not body strength, not everyone is a beefcake and body strength was still put on a decreasing curve already. People blame true strike, but that's only one scapegoat. We've got moon metal weapons adding damage, we've got priest buffs adding damage, aggressive stance adding damage, weapon damage for med maul and polearms increases, and whatever else there might be. When we were playing pre-sotg days, aggressive didn't give more damage like it does now or at least not as reliably, we didn't have an abundance of moon metal, we didn't have increased weapon damages and very few were even challenging the longsword meta. If we reduce how much we lower damage taken, we need to reduce the damage given as well or everyone will just yeet themselves at each other with whatever meta huge weapon there is and people will die comically fast. Body strength is already curved down (and now some kind of cap too?), I got priest damage buff reduced with the priest overhaul, I think it's time the weapons themselves were overhauled to be more than just slash poke or smack at different speeds, and aggressive stance changed somehow. Otherwise I feel it's all a disaster created by temporary bandaids

All I can think of in times like this is how the prem count is still ever inching towards sub 2000. The hype of epic being active for a couple months brought prem count to a stand still boucing around 2100-2150 for a brief time and now under 2100 and still dropping. This loss is clearly coming from the core amount of the player base, pve, seeing how abysmal the pve server player counts have been, so when the pvpers are pissed off and driven away yet again, a noticable chunk of prems countering the pve loss will disappear. What are the plans to truly save this game when players are driven away? Are we so reliant on whatever frontier is, and so-called epic attention by the people actually paid and in charge in the future, to save wurm? We literally can't even know what's going on half the times unless we want to be forced to waste hours of our time watching people talk on a stream waiting for tidbits that matter and when we want to know what's going on we're told to just watch the stream, it's like people are so out of touch with what the players want and need because they're right in their mind and that's all that matters. I still don't even know if people talking about epic being fully reset in the future is just a meme or something said in stream. I still don't even know who found Enki's treasure or what it was

Stuff like this is changing mechanics to force people to change how they keep their animals. Many people use wide open pens, even if they still use 1x2 pens for breeding, they'll use wide open pens to hold random horses, or riding horses, hitched wagons etc. I can't agree with anything like this that forces people to change how they play just for a cuter animal system. The rest that don't force anyone to change how they play are fine

I went to freedom because of the merge update that told us playing on freedom is smarter than playing on epic and being 1 of 1-5 players online on elevation and there were no visible motion or care by devs to do anything about it. I was gonna go back to play chaos again but decided it wasn't what I wanted I preferred the less toxic early-mid epic kind of fun and I've been waiting for updates to epic that will convince me to care enough to invest time/will into going back since freedom sucks and feels pretty pointless to play
