  1. Pvp is not for everyone and that's okay. I think the purpose of the thread is to let those that may have been slightly intrigued by the idea that it's not as scary as some make it out to be. It is EXTREMELY unlikely that you will get ganked or mobbed as soon as you portal through. There are many misconceptions about pvp. On defiance, your affinities are completely separate from your pve affinities. If you die on defiance, you don't lose your pvp affinities. Really, I believe you only lose a small amount of fight skill and a TINY bit of body strength. Myself, I love being a part of the kingdom and working together.
  2. I couldn't agree more, @Zundy . A game that does a great job of this is Eve Online. I used to love to read about the battles that played out and what was happening between the varied factions. These stories give the player base a better understanding of what pvp truly is and how it works. There are a lot of misconceptions. It's not as scary as people make it out to be and has very little impact on the pve side of their game upon death. Our stories should be shared and told. For example, no one will know about Bananas, the legend, who respawned during the JK siege the other day and rushed back out half armored; died again; then rushed back thru their line completely naked and unarmed. XD I think given the outside world a little glimpse of the true pvp side of things would potentially spark interest in people who may never have had the thought cross their mind.

  4. Will the old foraging and botanizing be removed or is this in addition to?
  5. Played with this on my lunch break and it worked great. Thanks so much for sharing. Got me thinking of how I could use some python scripts to plot shortest routes. I appreciate you.
  6. Has there ever been a time where the entire pvp community actually agreed with each other? Seems like folks may want to take notice.
  7. If Army has been around a long as he says he has, I doubt all the comments will phase him. He should be well aware by now of how many crotchety old men play this game.
  8. I'm having a similar issue. Skills monitor is only showing skill gained from "SERVERSCOPED:CADENCE". Nothing from Freedom. Also, no other server scoped servers showing in the list. So, I can only see my skill gained on Cadence currently.
  9. Can we please add a single click button to add a "Super User" role or a "Deed Admin" that will automatically assign all roles to that player? I am so sick of going through to click every single check box. This I feel would be an easy, HUGE QoL add to the game.
  10. I've seen two main reasons people are against a merge of NFI and SFI. The first is the economy; I've seen both concerns about drops in NFI prices and also being able to compete in the market with NFI vs SFI skill levels. Honestly, it seems a little selfish. NFI has already been around long enough that there are many super grinders with very high skills, so let's not pretend that "new players" have a drastically better position starting out on NFI. It really feels as if most of those against for this reason are the sellers wanting to keep prices high and corner the market for themselves; this sort of thing happens in RL as well. The second reason I've seen is mention of NFIs "toxic" player base or that they have a "different mindset". I, myself, have not experienced this. Yeah, just like in life, there's some scummy people out there, but I've found it's usually pretty easy to avoid them. If the two did merge, no one would be forcing anyone to travel to one or the other. The reason mentioned about the two different code sets is a completely different story. It would be great if a dev could go in to greater detail about if the merge would be technically possible as the code stands or if the code base differences are merely that they don't feel they should due to increased skill gain or rare rolls on NFI; I've seen this mentioned, but have we gotten confirmation that this is true?
  11. I can never figure out if you're just trolling
  12. I think easing in to the season may help. - Phase 1: Leaves fall off trees - Phase 2: Light dusting of snow - Phase 3: Full snow (Snowballs) - Phase 4: Melt Currently, it just goes straight to full on snow. I know it's only a few days, but it seems to stretch on forever. Due to the appearance of the snow on paved tiles (or any tiles for that matter), it makes it incredibly difficult to determine how your deed will look the rest of the year when developing/building new deeds/projects.
  13. I can try to be there to assist with plate smithing and Blacksmithing if needed. - TheSgtSkully
  14. ... this thread is ridiculous
  15. I think even just a slight change in color would be a huge improvement. +1
  16. ... this thread has completely derailed
