  3. Hmm, I feel that if the player can use the mouse wheel to scroll through the options, or use arrow keys, or swipe on mobile on a touch screen that could work. It could also be like "highlight" and then "select" and choose the option. Hell, copy the fortnight building menu, it's obviously working for them lol Problem with the select bar is that it's not obvious enough. Whole idea being that the options appear as soon as you mouse over in some manner. Most of us would use the tried and true right click, it's just that there needs to be a system that's simpler for new players who don't think like we do.
  4. That's awesome, I like everything so far but the right click menu needs another option instead of right clicking everything. KIDS THESE DAYS "TLDR;" THE RIGHT CLICK MENU. It's too tedious for them. If you want to win over the mine craft generation and make the big bucks you need to make a super simple UI. Something that pops up in their face with all the options possible whenever they change their view to a new object. Like, auto-right clicking lol. Most of Gen Z is that lazy, yes, I work in technology in a school and see them using computers everyday. To give you an idea, they literally hit Capslock, type their capital, then hit capslock again instead of hitting Shift... they don't think of technology the same way we do. Imagine a whole generation of people raised on Apple devices and they're all used to interacting the way they do on an iPad. I tried to get some of the kids in my school into the game and the right click menu was just too cumbersome and complicated for them. https://imgur.com/a/oqZzVCV
  5. Man i feel like you post for the sake of posting.
  6. Hmm.. when was the increase? Before or after patch? my 53.5WS only translated from 22WS to 26WS on freedom earlier. Didn't see FS transfer over i think... ?
  7. Curious, Would you have played if all the skill you gained on Jackal would be transferred back to your freedom char?
  8. As the leader of the most active deed since day 1, experienced burnout and seen alot of active great villagers (like OP, we miss you nygen ) quit i can say this about Jackal Pros - Mystery, fun figuring out the map - New challenge, somewhat new content alot of it recycled in a good way - Opportunity to play with new people who you wouldnt normally play with Suggestions - The terrain just f'n sucks, it's tedious, its not fun. Wetas constantly get hung up when trying to fight at beacons, tone down the steepness by 10% atleast - Skill transfer f'n sucks. If you're going to make it slow skill gain, atleast make it rewarding, or else give us challenge server skillgain at like 6x or something. People don't want to grind if the skill transfer sucks. We'd rather have fast skill gain and no transfer. But think about it, if you gave people a 1:1 skill transfer from Jackal back to Freedom, EVERYONE would be playing on Jackal, and thats what you want. Freedom will become the "dumpster" league like Standard in PoE, Which is fine, because everyone loves playing the new content anyway. For those of you freedomers who grinded to 95-100 (myself included), good for you, but know if you want your game to succeed, freedom ain't gunna cut it for everyone else in the world and help the game succeed. - 400-500'ish Jackal Beacons are repetitive and boring with this many people burning out. Do something drastic to revitalize the server, seriously. Get these people back. Increase skill gain to freedom? If there's real incentive like bonus skill gain there, people will want to move from freedom to jackal to grind. That's GOOD. - This whole - "Non sb, no CoC" skill gain relation is F'N STUPID. WE WORKED HARD FOR THOSE BONUSES, Why take them away from us?! You want to make people mad or make them feel rewarded and keep giving you money? Seriously you guys shoot yourselves in the foot ALOT. Don't give me the "If you want skill just grind on freedom" crap, FREEDOM IS BORING AND DYING, THAT'S WHY YOU MADE JACKAL. Alot of people are resubbing after not playing for years because they found no point in grinding on freedom anymore. Don't ruin your own efforts to revitalize a game by some ill-conceived rules. - Make WS and channeling skills faster, it's too much of a grind to decent weapons to entice people. WS Gains are SLOWER on Jackal (wtf?) Jackal is an opportunity to actually make WURM great, where you release meaningful seasonal content patches. This was a good start, dont scrap the idea just fix and improve. Alot of us are really enjoying working together on a goal that feels more then just "minecraft freedom wurm" -- EDIT OMG IM A GENIUS. Memory Stone - 1000 Jackal Points - Copy any 1 skill from Jackal to Freedom at a 1:1 skill ratio. Body Stone - 2000 Jackal Points - Copy all gains to body stats at a 1:1 ratio Mind Stone - 2000 Jackal Points - Copy all gains to Mind stats at a 1:1 ratio Soul Stone - 2000 Jackal Ponts - Copy all gains to Soul stats at a 1:1 ratio
  9. Misophonia is a real thing, it really sucks. It impacts my life daily in a negative way, i've gone to all the Drs and there is minimal treatment options at the moment. If I had the option to trade 10 million dollars or no misophonia, I'd go no misophonia in a heartbeat. I don't expect a bald redneck who sh!tposts on forum suggestion threads to understand Misophonia, but here is the lowdown, for a lowborn. A miswiring in the brain above the right ear - people have related it to Autism or SPD but it's neither because it gets worse as you age. People can be eating downstairs loudly, and I could be sleeping upstairs in my bedroom and I'll wake up aggravated. It's not a choice we make, I personally don't care how people eat, I regularly give my friends popcorn and chips then regret it later because I keep conflicting between not caring how people eat and my Misophonia. One major common thread for Misophonia sufferers is parental abuse as a child for eating loudly or bad manners. In my case, I had an extremely abusive mother who would inflict me physical and mental harm when I ate loudly at the dinner table - now as I age, I feel a reaction like someone is hurting me (imagine getting sucker punched outta nowhere) when I hear eating noises. My case may be that as my brain was growing and forming neural connections, the PTSD from those traumatic events miswired those noises in my brain to another feeling of pain. You know how annoying and strange feeling it is to eat loudly yourself and then get mad at yourself? lol I do for 90% of the time I've been playing WURM have had my sounds disabled, more many reasons - but it's hard when im on jackal combating rift beacons and need those alert noises.
  10. Glad i'm not the only one!! From the sounds of it, you could probably just remove the eating sounds from the game and no one would mind. lol
  11. Hello, I have a strange mental problem called Misophonia... and eating noises in general cause me a "fight or flight" response where I get really annoyed/irritated instantly. It SUCKS. I tried messing with all the sound options but there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the eating noise.... Can you please add that option? its frustrating to have to mute my sound every time i hear someone eat in game or myself eat in game. It sounds crazy I know, but would be greatly appreciated... thank you.
  12. Jackal transfer is better! thanks for that. Still not ideal, especially for WS seeing as its slower gain on jackal than freedom.
  13. No info on Jackal skill transfer and what happened exactly? WIll jackal skill transfer be buffed a little atleast?! 3 hours of grinding on freedom for a month on jackal was pretty disappointing. Especially WS, Its slower on Jackal and i only got from 14-17 for 50ws on jackal. lol
  14. So... you let your deed expire and someone took something from it and your mad? lol
  15. Man you guys need to grow a sense of humor.
  16. The skill gain is pretty terrible. What i got in Jackal in a month I could get in a couple hours on freedom =/
  17. 68 BS on Jackal, 96.11 skill on freedom, up to 96.24 50.7WS on Jackal, from 14 to 17 Was expecting to see WS go alot higher... seems like a ripoff for the amount of grinding to 50 on jackal WS is...
  18. sooo.... im not sure what exactly happened?
  19. FIX UI FIX UI FIX UI, MAKE IT EASIER FOR MINECRAFT KIDDOS! YES! You guys are on the right track, thank you. I just had some of my students testing out WU for a programming modding project in our programming club and they lost interest because of the clunky complex UI.
  20. in b4 WurmNite server where it's battle royal and super fastr wall build times
  21. That's an awesome idea! I dont mind buying some licenses to start since i've got some money in my budget - but maybe there can be a WU for Education Sku! What are some game programming related aspects you guys think I could code right off the bat to get them engaged? I was thinking map design and building would be cool, getting them to plan their own houses and deeds, maybe a pvp objective? I will have to speed the timers and skill gain ALOT since they're used to minecraft and forknife (yes i know i spelled that wrong
  22. Awesome, thank you! They're fairly proficient with Javascript and C#, so they can read simple code... Is it pretty advanced coding to make mods on this game? Thanks!
