  1. Pretty sure that Zethreal’s suggestion was added to the game. You can now make blank books, add pages and write on them with a reed pen.
  2. I agree whole heartedly. I would also like to see all in game windows that have the “send” button get an overhaul.
  3. This struck me after watching my first wurm puppet show. The entire show was in the event tab and I thought to my self... Man, wouldn't it be great if the puppet show was in the local tab so it wouldn't get all mixed up with all the event messages. Later, this made me notice that emotes were also in the event window and often I miss them because of this. My suggestion is to move the text for the emotes into local chat so that its less likely to miss them.
  4. Love the poll, but there are a few notable changes that are missing from the list: 1. Bridges 2. Underground building <-- my vote is for this one! 3. Fishing 4. Archaeology (not sure if this is as much of a change but rather an addition)
  5. Is there a way to see which way the mob is attacking you without reading the combat log? If the key to winning the fight is to defend in the direction that you are being attacked, there should be a quick way to visually see which way the mob is attacking you (before you get hit) How can you tell whether a special move landed? Is there a way to see the effect of the special move landing successfully without looking at the combat log? Overall, I will agree with most of the comments so far. I personally don't see how any of the changes made in this update will improve the combat experience. I was not expecting that taking the text out of the combat log and pasting it in the game world was what was meant by making the combat more visual. Unless I am missing something, it looks like reading the combat log will be more important after the update to keep an eye on where the mob is attacking you and where it is defending. Aside from that, it feels that combat will be unchanged. Special moves do not seem effective and its still just better to let your swings do the damage. The mobs die to your regular attacks so fast that special moves do not seem worth the time to do. If I could offer a suggestion for the next major update it would be spend more time at the drawing board before committing to any changes. Come up with more ideas on how to improve the system you are working on and how it fits into the bigger picture of the game. Spend time to ensure that the changes are addressing the current flaws and player complaints. This update does not address any of the current issues with combat and after such a long wait, we will be left with a system that is no better than the old one.
  6. Thanks for that! Brightened my day and provided a few good laughs (along with some sideways glances from my wife).
  7. +1 Make it help with healing disease
  8. I totally agree with all the suggestions related to making it more clear. This entire system of these types of UI windows needs an overhaul, not just for this window, but every window including permissions, deed founding, bsb item moving confirmation and literally every other window that has the send button.
  9. While it was said inside of a suggestions thread, this is something that could have gone into an official update post at the same time. Not everyone reads the entire thread of every suggestion just to try to figure out what things the devs are working on.
  10. Thought there were bug fixes in the works. Did this update address any of them?
  11. Absolutely had a blast!! Thanks Cista for holding this event!
  12. I really like this idea. My personal feelings is that it would actually encourage me to go exploring more since it gives more detail about what I might find in certain areas. I agree with previous comments that the resolution and the gradient of colours should be increased to give a bit more accurate information.

  14. But all of the scenes in the trailer were taken with actual in game footage. Everything in the trailer is possible in the game, including all of the animations.
  15. When I take off my demon helm I look bald to other people and my alt toon, however, on my screen I can see my hair. Then, if I embark on my horse, my alt can suddenly see the hair. This is repeatable. I am not sure about other helms and things but I don't think it happens with the witches hat.
  16. The way that uniques are now incentivized private slayings since they drop a set amount of hide/scale that is split amongst the slayers. So the less slayers there are, the more hide/scale each slayer gets. So the optimal strategy currently is to pen yourself a dragon, make 30 free alts and rush the dragon with all of your toons and you get all the hide to yourself. The second best strategy is form an alliance with as few fighters needed to slay a unique and pen as many uniques as you can to be slain by said alliance. In order for someone to choose to make their slaying public, this person must be a kind hearted soul who is willing to give all of their hard work and valuable treasure to friends and strangers alike. This person is akin to a lottery winner who takes handfuls of their winnings and scatters it amongst a crowd. There aren’t too many people like this out there, and I am happy there are some like this in Wurm. I am hopeful that this issue will be addressed by the devs. The solution needs to be a fundamental change in the mechanics so either there is little to no incentive to keep ones slaying private or so that private slayings are not possible. I’d like to point out that rifts is an event that has been designed to prevent private rifts. I am not saying I want uniques to be exactly like rifts. What I am saying is that it is possible to design these events so that they remain open to all who want to (or have the time to) participate in them.
  17. Elwood should go up there too as it was he who found the White Drakeling yesterday and proposed the public slaying. Pnutp should remain as a hero as he helped Elwood pen the drake. There are also far many more people who helped out but alas, I do not know everyone’s name.
  18. Make it so everyone gets 0.25kg of hide regardless of how many people attend. Make hide similar to bloods or rift points.
  19. Any possibility to allow the gift to fit into a backpack?
  20. Wow! Just wow!! I am super thankful for this gift...lots of hard work went into making it possible. Very thoughtful, Thank you! Let the games begin!
