  1. Yeah. The ability to attack your own mount seems illogical. You can always buy silver, spend it on a new horse and accessories, but you won't get that time spent breeding and grinding back nor the sentiment YOU bred that horse to be proud of and grinder the silvers to outfit him/her, and that's one of the biggest issues with me. The time and personal investments are insane if you don't spend cash. I get why you're upset and I would be too. Hope things work out for you! Good luck!
  2. +1 I was hoping to see a section for people to post their in game constructions whom may or may not have borrowed the power of the gods :S
  3. Plant the pole via your inventory on the tile you wish for one end of the bridge to be and travel to the other end and activate the dioptra. Rightclick on the Pole you planted to and click Plan Bridge. -- Hope this helps anyone else whom may be having trouble as I did. Good Luck!
  4. I like wurm online I just don't have the time anymore foe the mmo aspect. WU will allow me to play by myself (which, in my experience, is the norm even in WO) yet at a pace that suits me. For a 1 time purchase I'm sure I'll get my money's worth where unlike in Wurm Online I pay for a month and only have a chance to play a few days or so depending on RL. Def a purchase for me.
  5. Will WU require creating a new account, making one up similar to TEST, or will it just use our steam handles within a server?
  6. I love jumping in games and generally get frustrated in games that don't let you do so. However with wurm, especially with new players, I would see people attempting to trespass and get stuck. This happened a lot before when people would drop down into walled mines. I don't think most newbies would quit over an inability to jump so much as quit when they're forced to suicide after jumping a fence in which they can't jump back over. I do agree on the launcher issue. Wurm can be a HARD game to get running properly. Between the three different PCs I've played across each time it was rough to get going. This has driven off at least 3 diff people I've tried to bring to the game. As for the clicking thing I coils have sworn you could key bind a mouselook toggle. If I am mistaken wurm could really benefit from such a thing. It's a small team and small playerbase. Wurm won't appeal to everyone nor do I think it was meant to. Keep up the feedback though;the developers need a newcomers perspective on things.
  7. +1 for overall more character customization. Sheesh I can't believe the lengths some of you go and the BS you spin just to keep darker skin tones out of the game. How does it hurt you at all??
  8. I'm not reading anything in particular at the minute though I am in between Megatokyo Endgames short novels. You can bet I'll be reading again once the next book comes out! I used to read a LOT back in school. Series like The Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, Merlin (the lost years), The Obsidian Trilogy, and plenty others. Sadly the only series that I finished was Obsidian as it was composed of 3 books. I got 5 or so books into each of the other series because that's usually how many we could convince our librarian to order, having only 2 ppl in the whole school that was likely to even pick them up lol.
  9. Sounds awesome. Ever moving forward from the 2D plane.
  10. I'd say give alchemy some love and allow it to be transmuted to some other more useful metal. Doesn't help the uselessness of the lead itself though :/ Most things it could be useful for would be outright toxic to wurmian health
  11. The only one I keep up with anymore is Megatokyo. I had read it in my early teen years and sort of fell out of it. A few years ago I got back into it and caught up and it has really picked up. It's not everyone's cup of tea as it mixes comedy romance and MMOs along with the occasional lazyday art. The thing I like most is how the story and MMO (fictional) go hand in hand to tell the story. Fred, the artist and writer, recently teamed up with Thomas Knapp to write short stories further explaining the MMO characters story. It's a bit too much to explain especially on my short break but I would recommend it. It starts out as a joke but popularity picked up and a story develops quickly.
  12. Looks like the old wolf model that crawled into a brown bear snuggie O.o
  13. Logged in and re subbed the other day after a lengthy hiatus full of inspiration and with the aim to start a new home. I was in the middle of xanadu northern sea and decided to turn back to a smaller, less leggy server in hopes of finding a good place to set up. The weather however had other plans. It demanded that I sail 8km/h the entire way. I was unfamiliar with weather on the various servers as I never did much interserver travel. Over the course of days the wind stayed at 'light breeze from northeast' or what ever regardless of the server I passed through. Finally I got fed up after reaching Independence (after a circle around deli). Don't get me wrong. I have always loved wurm for how open and expansive it is and sea travel in a gale is magnificent but 8km/h is on par with a rowboat x.x I'm just bummed out that with my limited time to play these days and for the money I dropped on preming up that I'm spending 100% of my time so far just traveling due to a low odds weather system and slow ships. +9001 Edit: and 8km/h is good compared to the 1 km and 2 km I've had in the past ^^;
  14. Someone refuses to pay you 1 gold coin for your 30 magic potatoes and claims they didn't mean to do you any harm by keeping the potatoes even after a written agreement to pay you 1 gold coin for your 30 magic potatoes? That is a scam as well as theft. Intentional, regardless of trying to feign ignorance as offender went in knowing full well the terms of the agreement.
  15. Chicken (??) Flavor ramen with saltines. Throw in a grilled cheese sandwich and one can reach enlightenment. I now have a craving.... needs enlightenment x.x
  16. I would say have a craftable sheath placable on either hip or back (as quiver) to determine weapon location when sheathed. Mostly for conventional weapons but how dual wielding would work idk... even skyrim got lazy with their dual wield sheathing.
  17. I log into FFXIV at least twice a week to catch up with friends tho that's mostly running around the zones and helping low level players while chatting with linkshells and free company. I've given up on raiding/ doing dungeons in mmos. I find myself lacking patience in dealing with tightwads and/or small margins for error. Thankfully xiv has a decent community and great social features.
  18. Were it that I wanted to fling poo I would say Wurm is f2p p2w. Free download, no payment method upon account creations, major limitation being skill cap and a few prem only pvp servers (unless that has changed) you can play free as long as you want but you will only have an advantage when you pay for prem. Though, unless you are (for one reason or another) unable to afford it, there is no reason not to go prem, more cash for development and more stuff for you to do. Take not It seriously
  19. Maybe something like if a player has prayed at an altar there could be 24 hrs he/she can "catch" the bonus while offline. Essentially this keeps religious followers (at least vynora) active within their religion. The other global casts just do things within influenced areas so for such a beneficial buff like RoS praying once a day near the reset wouldn't be terrible if it means you won't miss it.
  20. I have had fun playing the markets in solo play but I am barely turning profits... maybe 150 to 200 after refueling. Once I save up 10k or so I can hopefully pick up a mining laser and refinery to really turn a profit. Still learning to play, though. Maybe 10 hours in or so. Ill eventually go multiplayer but for as long as its taking me to build up credits ( most I have earned is about 3k through selling my exploration data) I would hate to lose all of it due to a punk being a rear. Looking forward to future updates for sure. I didn't think I would enjoy it based on my first 5 min of gameplay but for those whom may be new to the series/genre like me, just stick with it and watch a few tutorials if your get too frustrated
  21. Although I haven't talked to some of these people in years and several may not play any more, my list would have to go: Aegis Imperium of MO beta - I may not have gotten to play MO with you guys but it was one of your early members that showed me Wurm. Watching that oceanside fort come up with everone's combined effort sold me on this game. Markesilvers - it was your helping hand that kept my friend and I up and going during our transition to Independence. Thank you. Wraithglow - had a great time living within the Guild of Artificers and I usually swing by the place whilst sailing near maple island. P.s. crystal coast trail is a life saver! Any others I will come back to add!
  22. +1 you already have an accurate magical clock at the type of a command, why not have a visual representation that is entirely optional? The devs seem to be adding more UI lately so this seems like a good time as any.
  23. More optimization is always good! Graphic artists trying to code in memory leak fixes? ...not so good. You don't have your interior decorator outside laying bricks when building a house, do you? They each specialize in what they do...
  24. As the title suggests, The ability to craft a blank tabard with no kingdom affiliation, players would be able to dye them as well as choose an icon from the shop sign pool to display upon creation. http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Shop_sign Would add a bit more diversity and I rather like much of the shop icons. Obviously not priority but consider it at some point :3
