  1. So i was minding my own business building a home and had a ladder leading to the outside. I saw the goblin below me as i was planning to just look at it and call the guards.

    But he bloody walked to the ladder and climbed up it then attacked me. I think i might be wise to add that knowledge to the wiki as goblins being able to climb ladders is a clear risk to players.

     

    I checked and while trolls do show that as an ability and have a noted on the wiki, goblins do not seem that have that noted.

    looks like i may have jumped the gun, on uptime history sorta suggests this is a routine maintenance.  mfw that feeling of wurm separation anxiety

     

    I do believe most of us know that feeling by now. Well i would just get a snack and watch a movie then come back. Should be up then.

    I chose the wrong day to swing by celebration lol

     

    Oof that is indeed an awkward timing alright.


  3. I don't mind the quantity of the wave's but i see the argument for having existing waves thinned out a little.

    As (to me at least) the first wave and sometimes the second wave feel like a horde you are mowing in on for a little longer then is interesting.

    The waves with more interaction and stuff like the turrets i enjoy and actually do not mind.


  4. I just feel like i want to build and hollow out more of my home. Ever since i started playing i spend a decent part of in-game time either exploring or in a mine.

    After the ability to build in a mine i just do everything in my own house, In a mine. I do my crops, in a planter which is in the mine. And though i haven't gone so far as to keep animals in the bellow. I'm still expanding and building more.

    No clue where it ends but if i can have a full underground village i would be a happy cave man.

    Is that in Potato years? I cant imagine a potato lasting 24 years.

     

    Anything, even my unusual acts and moments of maturity can be dragged through the years given it is properly refrigerated.

     

    Back to topic though, from my experience over the years, most people are from what i gathered 30-40 years old but there are clusters of people that are my age. 

    They usually maintain a distance or hold to there own groups(me included). As truth be told, spending most of your spare time among people who age-wise could have been your father/mother just feels odd and it does lack a certain connection.


  6. Currently 24, been here for a while now. Feels like i have always been the youngest in any group here i happened to be part off over the years.

    Don't mind it though gave me some interesting perspectives.


  7. My utmost respect to you, I am genuinely angered it has come to this and wish you the best in these moments of turbulence and hardship.

    I simply wish we actually did more to prevent this, so please stay safe and be well.


  8. I got about 10+ names i swap between as i see fit, but for my wurm names 'PotatoOnStick' and 'HairylBulldozer' both have a bit of a short story.

     

    PotatoOnStick came into being due to me liking Jeff Dunham at the time in particular José the jalapeno on a stick.

    Which did not help as me and my friends at the time had some rather dumb inside jokes and one day we swapped Jalapeno out with a Potato and it was born.

    Used the username for a few years then like i usually do i swapped again whenever i made a new account.

     

    HairylBulldozer however is somewhat of an oddity as it started out as me and a friend talking about hairy bulldozer operators.

    This was during the time when the server 'Cauldron'(I might be mistaken on the name) was a thing, I said i would join and he would recognise me once he saw me in local.

    To no ones surprise he did, we laughed and i forgot about the account till i later needed another alt for priest stuff. 


  9. If i am not mistaken this exact idea has been mentioned in here before. I was against it then because it destroys the reason to even go out and explore. 

     

    Even if it would be implemented it would distract from the real area. As for older servers the in-game maps do not even show the correct biome in a few places anymore.

    Seems like something not worth the effort as it would only add frustration because of the lack of knowledge. While looking at the community map

    s is 'mostly' accurate with the only point you need to do is figure out where the hell you are.

    With a higher level of the cartography skill, you could also draw a map with those deeds that you visited and sell to players who don't want to drive all over the map.

    There are deeds that prefer not to be marked, i recall someone that if you got his deed listed on the community map he would make your life a hell for it. I could see this falling horrendously bad with those people too.

    I don't see any reason why the dot and name of that deed should not be displayed on the map in the game, it is normal behavior in every game.

    The most interesting places tend to be in the wild or deeds that actually have a legacy to them. That is assuming it isn't barred off. So believe me when i say this would add very little other then maybe a local convince once every so often. On top of that as i stated before being told there is a deed somewhere can be distracting. Thus pushing you away from the wild.


  10. Having used macro's in other games and been an admin for a game that did not allow it and having to sniff it out and deal with it.

    I see no positive reason other then to give a very small group of people a way to just not play the game and get stuff.

     

    If you can macro, i want to magic free items or skill out of thin air too with a timer which we all know is not gonna happen.

    Curently my AH is 79, been slowly pushing it from 50 since update... Other then miscarigies update is badly though frustration yeah, i still want few draft skills on my horses for riding more than acustomed to water. System where traits are locked in categories is double sharped blade. I been trying to get bisons, horses, hell horses, sheeps and donkey(have no idea why i guess) and must say i'm having quite mediocre success in getting what i find optimal in animal. i wish there would a way to direct towards desired traits more easily. for example, if i have horse with 3 speed traits and horse with desirable draft traits i would expect offspring to have 3 speed traits and 2 draft trais(or any random combination of those two cattegories) if i have enough points to support slots,  but instead i get useless speed trait and random misc trait, if i wanted misc trait i would breed it with horse that has misc trait ffs. So my biggest problem is popping random traits to fill space instead of traits i'm aiming for

     

    So even at higher skill you still do not get what you want? Ok that must be horrendously frustrating knowing that you actually have the ability to get it as well.

    Keeping deed ratio at just barely 15+ is a bit dangerous. Someone could show up with a cart and enter your deed and push it just below 15. Or even a wagon.

    or god forbid, a wagon with a few lead animals. Deed ratio is all animals on your deed, no matter who owns them.

     

    If you want to live on the edge, that's your choice. I wouldn't go on forums making forum posts mentioning miscarriages if I was living on the edge like this, personally.

    For a start no one but me has access to the animals, secondly i had it at a solid 18+ before the update. I can only keep it at 15ish as a result of all the deaths.(which includes me going out and collecting what ever i can find btw) Which is why i stopped breeding entirely at this point and started this topic. On top of that most horses i lost so far were bred up from a line that i have kept alive for over 5 years now. I am not in the mood to see it die out because an update made an error in the numbers somewhere.

    Miscarriage and mother dying, even cared for, is the reason i don't breed vanilla 5 speeds no more. I could swear it was done deliberately  to wipe off old vanilla horses by the devs. 

     

    To me i am genuinely starting to wonder if don''t want like 2 to 4 glue horses to pull a wagon or ship transporter and beyond that just live on foot at this point.
    Like what is the point of having a horse if it just keeps dying faster then i can breed them?

    I might attend, I shouldn't have anything that week, I can provide PAS,SS,BS,JS.

     

    I have 70 Metallurgy as well if you need some alloys feel free to shoot me a message.

     

    Please message that man, he has been staring at the same forge for a few weeks now.

    To the point that i am starting to think he is talking to the metals he smiths with.


  14. So to start off i am just a small deed owner with a small farm, I spend most of time in a cave or bashing wild stuff in the north of Deliverance.

    I breed and farm stuff about twice a day as a means of not having to bother much with others or just enjoying the experience. Yet this update has caused a lot of problems for my way of living.

     

    For a start i started the update with 17 5S horse's with about 80 Trait points, bred over a few years of hard effort and patients. Currently i am only at 5 horses left. With my breeding pairs seemingly dying first. (With 50 AH on a dedicated Lib priest)

    I did some research and some small sized testing (for the details see the spoilers). The results pretty much make me want to kill all my animals and just not bother anymore. With what feels like a hard cap to trait points, The shorter lifespan of my horses and all else just making it a pain. 

     

    Spoiler

    Deed animals ratio: 15,2 (maintained by finding random animals in the wild or killing them for Bloodthrist)

     

    Breeders:

    First Pair

    5S White Male, Cared for 80 Trait points Venerable

    5S White Female, Cared for 80 Traits points Aged

    Second Pair

    5S Black Male, Not Cared for 80 Trait points Venerable

    5S Black Female, Cared for 80 Traits points Venerable

    Third Pair

    5S Black Male, Not Cared for 80 Trait points Venerable

    5S Black Female, Not Cared for 80 Traits points Venerable

     

    Offspring:

    First Round:

    AH: 45

    First Pair, Male Piebald Pinto, 35 Trait points

    Second Pair, Female White , 30 Trait points

    Third Pair, Male Black, 40 Trait points

    Second Round:

    AH: 47

    First Pair, Male White, 40 Trait points

    Second Pair, Male Black, 30 Trait points

    Third Round:

     

    AH: 48

    First Pair, Miscarriage, Mother died, Father still alive 

    Second Pair, Male Black, 40 Trait points

    Third Pair, R.I.P.

     

    Authors note:

    All breeding animals were groomed twice a day, checked for food and kept in there separate pens of 2x1 in the outside with grass tiles.

     

    Because i like this game i wish to ask that some rules around breeding be loosend a little to at least make it friendlier to people of lower skill or with less time.

    The main thing that blocks most of it for me at least appears to be the point limit with trait points. As it seems to be directly linked to your AH skill. Which for anyone who is not a dedicated breeding is a nightmare.

    Lastly i want to ask if anyone else has noticed the increase in Miscarriages, before i only recall having one about a fat year ago. Since the update i had about 4 which seems like a  horrendously dumb frequency for that to occur. 

     

    While this is just my experience with it i am very curious what others have experienced. As i have seen little other people talk about it besides some of the people i play with.
