Archaed

I believe it's this

It seems odd to me that there's a known system that has (with a little bit of lead up work) known hype, something that can be announced on press websites easily, and generates ongoing excitement and replayability being left to gather dust. I understand that in the devs timeframes it might not be something they want to pick up immediately, but Krister should be very enthusiastic about launching a new Jackal round purely for noteworthiness

The new map experience and hype was part of the appeal of jackal, I’d love to see that come back as a repeating event to get that exploration kick every few months

Bean wanting this for years!

There's been no new endgame armour for a while, I'd not be looking at this as a majorly hot topic given it's not changed.

It's new as a rare metal from the holy sites, and now small chance when mining a meteor. It's okay, you're still forever a noob, but not here haha

Fully agree, it sucks. Enki has been a backbone of this game for so long, and has brought so much of the wurm magic to the game, from his random ENKounters, to his Knights of Seris quest chain (what a mammoth task) the game is worse off without him. I do sincerely hope GCG give him an event coordinator role where he can bring more fun and whimsy to the game.

Honestly even just raising the cap from 10% to 20% would bring a ton of flexibility into the system Steel kind of set the benchmark of what was the best option, and then everything had to be built around that, but not being better than steel means you get tiny bonuses that ultimately don't do a lot more.

100% The game was built on the idea every action should have a skill attatched, but so many are unnecessarily shallow. The food system is broad, but not deep once you identify a few key OP recipes (full house pizzas are a mistake) that you can't really change without upsetting everyone. I think limiting the affinity timer from foods would give better flexibility but that's for another thread. At the end of the day, I think the affinity system is broad enough and the skills existing need sharpening to get better before there's any worries about expansion, but out of curiosity, what skills would you like to see added, and how would it be deep?

100% for different styles, some like the look, some want to make their own, it's simple to have it changeable

I want a turn! In somber verse, I'll spin a mournful tale, Of Wurm Online's Head Gamemaster's fateful fall. Enki, once revered, now lost in sorrow's veil, His departure casts a pall upon us all. With skill and passion, he guided players' way, A beacon of knowledge, ever wise and just. In realms of Wurm, where dreams and castles lay, Enki's presence fueled our trust and lust. But winds of change blew harshly through the land, A decision made that shook the game's foundation. Enki, like a ship lost in shifting sand, Was cast aside, a loss felt in every nation. His absence leaves a void, an empty space, A loss of magic, wisdom, and camaraderie. For Wurm Online, it's a dim and somber place, With Enki gone, a shadow shrouds its legacy. No longer shall his words of guidance ring, No more events where players' hearts unite. The game grows poorer, missing Enki's wing, And sorrow clouds what once was shining bright. Oh, Enki, Head Gamemaster now departed, Your absence echoes through the game's expanse. A tale of sadness in each player's heart, For Wurm Online, it's a woeful circumstance. So let us mourn this loss, this bitter woe, And remember Enki's contributions true. In every sunset's glow, in rivers' flow, His spirit lingers, guiding us anew. Thanks chatGPT

It's already happened with cartography and archaeology, there's ways and means to join skills together and it's a far easier process than mapping out a whole new range of skills! There's also other skills far less used, and titles arent connected to skill in the sense that if the skill was removed the title would disappear

You're absolutely right! It's the slippery slope fallacy, not the strawman, good catch

I think the better option would be to actually remove some skills if new ones come in. Shields for example has 7 skills attached to it, that could be 1-2 at most (wood, metal) There's no huge need for hundreds more skills, I'd rather see existing skills deepened than new ones added.

I believe they have to burn for a certain amount of time now, how long did they burn for?

Impalongs are great for meeting people! Treasure hunting and archaeology are absolutely not late game, their goal was to be accessible from the start. don't worry too much about the tumultuous time, there's concerns about branding and the like but ownership hasn't changed, just the CEO, but everyone is anxious as you said, shouldn't impact your play though

Unlucky with RNG, I've gotten several

Honestly not really, I get it feels that way, but it likely takes time to collate the feedback and have a solution, given the amount of feedback there needs to be a solid response and not just "I understand how you feel, we'll get back to you with a response" because ultimately it's a non-answer. Krister should be speaking with the dev team and organising proper collection of feedback before posting anything, so don';t worry too much!

The game has had a community manager for about 8 years now lol, that was me and is now demona.

I think you still have the Valdor Action Figure, right?

No it doesn’t. Just one per deed

Not the one I get, I think it's jumping at shadows as the rebranding was purely the website

Hi yes I would like meadows to dance and sing to my Swedish children. yea I know it was Swiss, but hey. The hills are alive with the sound of arch!
