  1. Well this doesn't matter much, it had a point when you could get something higher than your skill lets you. 0,5 g isn't worth it at all. Putting your butt on the boat or hiring a prospector to simply look for a better vein costs a negligible fraction of this. I am 70+ masonry, I need QL70+ shards to function normally, and now me, a new player is even more dependent on old, rich big fish. In my case my tunnel project and mine anxiety saved me - I long time ago made several deals with high level miners to remove my veins, but those who didn't - hell I am surprised they are not angrier, and not surprised they do howl so loud that the moon cracks.
  2. I am pretty sure it is a PoL tile because on PoK I wouldn't the message that I am too low skill for a question as I can't get questions on PoK tiles. And yes I have PoK tiles too, on the highway - paved area that goes along the marina, near water and sand, which is where they should be, and they don't give this message.
  3. @Retrograde @Skatynais right. Woodcutting imbue costs 30-40s. It took me 5 months to collect. Now I have 0,5g worth hatchet and 0,5g worth pickaxe that is as good as 5s one. Seriously...
  4. I've been waiting for this moment all my life...I can feel it in the air tonight... And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord...
  5. [23:18:49] Platyna gets a crowbar.
  6. Please send me one, I wanna have such an amazing thing. This is how you break the glass ceiling LOL!
  7. That change was important for me. I do not play 10 years, I don't even play one year, but I am a hardcore player and a fan of Wurm, but I feel more and more that Wurm staff treats me and other people like me as an annoying fly or at least they do not care about our input at all. I worked out nice suggestions about black dye with Zarame - who is an expert dye maker, we even dug through patents etc. - I didn't even deserved a comment from a development team in these Suggestions threads, after my posts GMs popped out and removed black dye stashes, and I am blamed for that by other players. So it became some Sophocles like tragedy or Franz Kafka style situation where I - a new player - became a centre of it - and I have no idea what the hell I did wrong. It is just a dye, rare expensive dye, it didn't require any balancing. We should have a lot of dyes, eyes candies etc. at any colour we want. I worked so long for RPG economies, I rescued several games from falling down. I can't disclose much because I was paid for most of my work, and I am bound by NDAs. I wrote to them politely asking them to not do the nerf in Year Years, so we have festivities instead of drama - I didn't even get a reply. This is frustrating, especially that this is a really amazing and expensive game. I do speak and speak and speak about lack of communication and openness to new ideas, that fall on the deaf ear. I just observe how much people I loved to play with have 200-250 days idle, and then I write them emails, and they give me their items and say: "sorry not coming back". I wrote about it to staff too, included suggestions that worked for many other games I helped to develop or GM, in private because there were spoilers. I wish Wurm so much good and success, I would love to play till the last days - mine or Wurm's, but it cannot continue like that, it needs a groundbreaking reform.
  8. 1. Allow to hitch one animal (including a bison or a horse) - already suggested. 2. Decrease the slowdown, dragging empty cart or with light load shouldn't give any slow down at all. 3. If you drag small or large cart, and you dig/level, you dig to the cart, it is done on dredging so c'mon it cannot be hard to implement. 4. Let us load 2 rafts or 2 small crates or 1 large crate if runed. 5. Give it speed boost when dragged on fields, green tiles (with flowers, bushes or trees) and in the mines. Give us some cookie for all these nerfs. You know if you use stick an occasional carrot is necessary. I was raised in gardens, orchards, forests and fields I know very well how useful is this:
  9. This is my marina dock ramp, it is in its shape since at least 6 months, it fulfils only two PoL requirements - it is flat and close to water, however it is not 5x5 area and there is no single flower in a radius of 15 or 20 tiles and AFAIR there never were any flowers here, just water and sand, yet it is PoL tile, it annoys me because I have PoL tiles popping out of nowhere all over my deed and meditation is painful enough. I should get Enki-made supreme meditation rug as refund for moral loss. 😄
  10. Can we have some? Would be fun to breed them.
  11. Nothing changed for woodcutting.
  12. I must have missed something, because, since I am not a heavy grinder I don't want cut trees and logs with QL1 hatchet to produce rubbish, so I cut trees with the best hatchet I have, and I cut like 200 trees day before the nerf and didn't get a single QL90 log or even QL70, highest I could get is 65 at my 48 woodcutting, so where it is that ignorance of skill level? BTW I am carp way above 80, so 65 logs are for me like good-plank-material.
  13. As a non-aggressive type I will pass on this amazing offer with no hidden agenda. Thank you! I waited for it so much, I dug that much dirt to get it: 248270.
  14. @RetrogradeNerfs rarely work. It is truth as old as the oldest MMORPG. Most successful is balancing by introducing new features not nerfing old ones. And introducing new features usually causes praise and happiness among the community not outrage and anger. A quick example: increase the probability of popping out QL100 item (or skill+QLX) that increases with skill, imbues are expensive and hard to get even if you have money, I bet fewer people would take them if there are such ability as most of the people do not require enormous quantities of QL100 materials.
  15. I waited for this moment the whole my (Wurm) life: At least something happy happened to me, Vynora gave me a gift for the New Year. BTW: Happy New Year everyone, or at least, so it will suck less than this one! ❤️
  16. I don't have an opinion about source spring changes yet. I am against people hoarding them, I am guilty as charged that I hoarded one (ONE) because they are rare, and it was the first one of two I ever found, so sentiment stuff. But I am able to sacrifice my business for a greater good if it has a point. But with this change if the source springs will still be so rare as they were before then it will become again one more dead feature.
  17. That update makes me sad. If have this game paid for 2 years and I have no idea what other changes like that will be made in the future. I don't trust the developers any more. You guys promised us that the changes will be consulted with us. And it is not about me - I am well stocked in everything, and I am a casual crafter, it about my friend list getting more and more empty. It is huge and 80% of the names there are gone, and pulling this out during New Years celebrations is even sadder. Gold rules of RPG economy balancing: 1. No NPCs generating money directly or indirectly. -> Wurm passed neatly. 2. Avoid nerfs at any cost. -> Wurm failed miserably.
  18. Yes, should togglable if it was made from little white clouds it would be not so brutal to the sky.
  19. Brash I think DJ doesn't find much in our medieval setting, and some people try to RP here.
  20. Thanks, it is like 20 years old. 😉
