  1. Rare knarr? I'm not paying that much for an extra 1km/h!
  2. I've never had to stop halfway through a project to make more materials.
  3. Feels like quiet resignation to me...
  4. +1 And some Jimmy Barnes in the background would rock too
  5. ❤️ PvP'ers all agreeing... i may print and frame this thread... Ok but seriously.... Leave the decaying score, not sure what the time frames are but i'll hypothetically call it the "lately" score, and basically add a column with non-decaying "lifetime" score, center the achievement around "lifetime". Separating those scores would make the "lately" a useful score than can be reset to run contest and whatnot. My 2 copper.
  6. You want easy, cheap retention? Start players off with the ability to ride a cart. This would be a great opportunity to add the 1-horse carriage, something with the build difficulty of the small cart but a bit more capacity...... give starting players a rope and keep a decent stable of wild horses penned at the start deeds. Set up (if they don't exist) a well-signaled public mine near the spawn deeds and make sure there are some trees for cart making. Maybe a change (or highly visible clarification) to the "you need a mallet to start making smithing tools" conundrum. Wurm "survival" isn't that big a deal, many games do THAT way way better. Wurm's more of a settling and building game.... I mean, towers and templars aren't really a survival game thing.
  7. Rift mobs being possible mission spawns would be amusing imho, even if they don't drop rift stuff, just for the killing fun factor.
  8. You know what'd make people really stick around? Remove priest restrictions. In other words, remove the distinction between follower and priest, like most WU servers have. Really, the game is goddamn fun like that. Become Fo priests btw, for Fo is Groot. There'll still be a market for enchants, the channeling grind is no joke.
  9. -1 Unless we also make "plot course" risk putting you on the wrong server, dead and 50 tiles away from your ship... arr!
  10. First time I see that thought mentioned, so fitting big font =P +1 and +1 on tracking dogs Lemme translate the OP Dogs need an overhaul, they way they are now makes little sense. They should follow the player without constantly having to use the "Go to" command, with the option of a "perma follow" toggle. Have them bark when someone walks onto your deed. Also would be nice if they assisted in combat, backing away after their health drops below a certain point (translator's note: dogs are too squishy, I don't see this specific one being very viable). They way dogs are now, almost no one uses them so all they do is join the bearsharks at the coasts.
  11. I'd love to see a "mercenary" market result from those lol. People pay people to make bricks, why not pay people to help take down big mobs eh.
  12. A handful of new mobs with rift ogre/mage stats wouldn't hurt to make this suggestion a reality. *Edit* just make them rather slow with a tiny aggro radius to not lose half the newer players in the first week. The kind of mob where pursuit isn't the concern, but whether you can stand toe to toe with one. For an extra "bonus", we could have guards and templars ignore them.
  13. +1 just because some derp basically referred to the bulk of the subscribers as welfare recipients. While I don't wish harm upon WO, it would be fun if Freedomers mass quit some day to watch the "for profit" players and those who want to keep Wurm back in 2010 tear each other to bits... all 20 of them (at best).
  14. Close enough... now if we could get Elfin's "General Mordraug" (last troll invasion, was spelling slaughter with laughter) to stick....... *calls propaganda chief*. Pieces of unique loot from archaeology mixed with uniques dropping more pieces of and less/no complete megaloot would rock at many levels. And yes, WOsians, sorcery charges are hella rare on Sklotopolis even with our megasharing habits. Winning a charge is still a solid 50-150s profit depending on which one.
  15. Funny, on Sklotopolis private slayings are forbidden. The capturing team does get the gloating rights and the whole "thrill" being amusingly used to defend the status quo on WO. One I helped capture, the 4 of us who kited and penned it could have technically taken it down, we even joked about it at one point when the dragon got stubborn on us. We didn't, everyone had a good time in the end, and I've been sporting scale armor for ages (and since all the dragons are available at all times, even without winning a set I could have made a couple more sets by now from the scales, but heck I mostly give the scales away). In case you're wondering, I still see lots of normal metal armour in the community so dragon armors are confirmed still a rarity. Even the lowliest of newbies can come swing at the damned thing (we got enough DPS from us "elites" or whatever we get called behind our backs) and roll on the loot. Ample community donations for the raffles, 0 drama. While we do have overkill with the dragon armor sets, we've lost so many to newbies who quit a week after that their market value remains steady. I stand by my usual statement that Wurm's fine, it's the WO community that sometimes shrieks possibilities down from becoming a reality and thus keeps the game way less appealing to new players than it should be.
  16. Large axe and small metal shield.... lovely combo and does pierce dragon hide once your skills and stats are high enough.
  17. Unless you're past 70 mind logic, at 30 seconds per prayer, you should have to requeue more than every 4 minutes, or you'll end up with idle windows which in theory should remove you from the "botlike behaviour" check. If you're re-queueing the second your timer of choice warns you, then yeah pay more attention to that window for the popup questions 'cause that kind of dedication can be mistaken for botting. Btw... don't do the cat and laser pointer bit, it'll end up with both sides calling lawyers to make sense of it =P
  18. What can help with the prayer grind (even if devs do decide to make prayer great again it's gonna take a while so, in the meantime...).. Have the altar selected on the button bar. F1 setoption no_world_render true Alt+tab between that and another game, preferrably something pause-friendly (A Civ game, a MUD, or a Wurm alt but with the praying one using way less system resources). Bonus if you switch the praying one to small resolution windowed. Definitely not an elegant solution but it'll at least get you halfway there eh.
  19. Still, filling a 4-prayer queue means 4 key presses every 2 minutes. What you could do is google "timer", set that one to 2 minutes (more if you got a higher queue of course) for efficiency. Or.... we can start the debate on whether it's legal to hang a laser pointer off the ceiling with a string, aim a fan at it so it moves a bit, bind all your keys to the same command, and let the cat have at it (technicism: account sharing is allowed and the cat is, in fact, a living sentient organic being).
