  1. 200% down for this, would be absolutely incredible
  2. 22s if you outbid me you smell
  3. Yes please, locksmithing imbue would be so perfect
  4. Need some 99ql logs, paying for large crates, looking for up to 1k/1.2k Any woodtype is fine, just want that 99ql Coastal cele delivery, post here or pm ingame
  5. So Enki got removed in some form? And Warlander is next? I'm lost as to what this post in particular means
  6. Not duplicating any other material bonuses sounds like it'd be a frustrating experience for those who work in weaponsmithing or those who just want to use the right material for whatever job. I'd prefer the system overlapping with some fluctuations around. I think just slapping the addy damage bonus isn't the right move. To be honest, Wurm is at a point where a lot of the current metal stats aren't that great and need some tweaking. I think the only way we'll get a good balance for empyrean is by going over the current metal characteristics and adjusting them. We don't need to lift the floorboards out with this, silver is fine where it is currently for example. But the lead damage reduction makes little to sense and is an easy bait for people who don't understand or read into the comparisons. Steel is vastly too much effort for the small bonus it gives. In general I think we just need to look at a lot of these metals and have a look at what isn't working and go from there.
  7. For PvE for sure. For PvP, seems a portion of us want that, given we're spread out between servers and we'd prefer just one unified place.
  8. My issue with this kind of statement is, it blankets all Wurm streams with the same type of tag without an attempt to understand them or understand appeals of each. Drongo would be able to talk about things going on in the game and entertain an audience with humour and proper engagement with a community. Katspurr would adventure to a totally random spot and show the scenery and areas between, and take on the challenges along the way. Fabricant literally hosts game shows and streams people playing them at events like impalongs. You don't need to like Wurm streams, I'm not saying all this to change minds and magically make you want to watch every stream out there. But I do genuinely think there are people who can make streams of Wurm work, but it requires a certain personality or ability to make it entertaining and/or engaging. As much as I love Wurm streams, I don't watch a massive amount because I prefer to listen to them, which is something I actually really like about Wurm streams, they rarely demand you actually sit and watch. They tent to live on my 2nd monitor and I'll wait until I want to say something to bother chatting. It's nice. tl;dr Wurm just requires a certain type of person to stream it and they exist and really, almost anyone can be that person. It just takes some work and understanding. (Please for god sake don't feel slighted if I didn't mention your stream, they're just 3 old streamers who made Wurm work for them)
  9. I love to hear it and I appreciate you saying it. But I am hard against it. Simply put it's a crying shame and almost a disgrace that VEN has been left high and dry for so long. The list on the old website alone wasn't updated for years until it was finally just flat out removed once MEN was made and was well received. Keenan said quite some time ago that no matter how he cut it, when he looked at his metrics there was an effect from VEN and he'd be working to see about getting it working proper again. Plans that fell through, for some reason or another. Simply put those with access to that information knew it was a good system that worked, and Retrograde was onto something great with the idea. Just recently we had an influx of streamers and only a handful stuck around long term, something that may have been prevented had we had a proper system in place to support them. With any system like VEN it's hard for any player to measure the actual effectiveness and the idea has never been only to start people streaming Wurm for rewards. Katspurr has 5.8k followers, and BloodyDrongo has 7.1k followers. I'm not going to go into what made them stop streaming Wurm because that's entirely their own business, but each time they go live on Wurm, that's thousands of people having Wurm appear in their feed. That's however many viewers they have getting Wurm fed to their algorithm. For each person that starts to stream, there's a chance of giving them a proper launchpad to open their streams up to other content, increasing their viewerbase if they want to, and that's just adding to the value of having them as part of VEN. VEN was never a closed loop system, it was there for a larger purpose and as a long term system. The big question on my mind is why a player had to step up and do this. Why did a player have to fill in the void that was formerly properly supported? The playerbase is willing to show their kindness in supporting the revival of the system, because they understand it's of little effect to them and it's a good idea to support those willing to go live and provide entertainment and show the game around. I know for sure I'd prefer an inexpensive system that works to promote our own people, than another failed attempt at buying advertisement spots online that aren't seen because everyone and their dogs have adblockers.
  10. So that terms of service page... This is just an AI template. Most of this page is made using AI.
  11. Here's one forge from my friend, which is supreme at 99.065ql: 1st examine [11:43:06] You estimate that the fire will last between 17 hours, 40 minutes and 17 hours, 50 minutes. 2nd examine [12:03:34] You estimate that the fire will last between 14 hours, 20 minutes and 14 hours, 30 minutes. Here's a fantastic forge at 99.9964ql: [18:10:24] You predict that the fire will last between 12 hours, 45 minutes and 12 hours, 50 minutes. Friend has 48 firemaking skill, and I have 70. I somehow can't imagine 48 skill would mean you're overshooting by 2 to 5 hours. Both forges are protected by a structure and using the fuel rune. Is there an actual bug with burn timers here?
  12. A very poor choice. Wurm website has been in various stages of neglect over the years, and nobody really holds any hope towards that properly changing. We've got entire threads filled with community screenshots already that could have easily been used if a basic level of community outreach was made in advance. The easy route was taken rather than the sensible one.
  13. Can we touch on the fact the new "brand trailer" only showed about 3 seconds of anything ingame in the whole 42 second runtime?
  14. So hey, Krister? You want more registrations on the back of all this, right? So why isn't the registration page also changing?
