    depth means Wurm should add overly complex

    Because you all wanted more depth in content we made sure the system is super complex.

    Keenan seems define depth as something about the complexities of feature.
    But u seem define depth to something like an extreme level of complexities of a feature, because u used the words overly complex and super complex.

    That's two different levels of complexities. In other word, one is mentioning the normal complexities, and one is mentioning the super complexities.

    When players ask for content depth, I guarantee you those players aren't asking for convoluted system and secret mechanics that need to be discovered before they can use the system. 

    U said somthing players don't want, but they may just want something that u didn't guarantee.
    When players ask for content depth, why can't those player be just asking for complex system and secret mechanics that need to be discoved after they can use the system. They can use the system no matter they discover the complex system and secret mechanic or not, when players ask for content depth.

    They don't share many details on features can maintain the complexity of the content

    It's good to keep certain amount of details in order to reach the complexities that the community can handle. Not overly complex and super complex.

    are you suprised? you pay 1s 30c for your deed

    No, i am not suprised. I have considered to buy a trader when my deed was created. So i know how much i can save.
    I didn't buy it because i expected i might need to relocated the deed token and i struggled to figure it out where to place the trader. In other words, i was still thinking how to plan my deed. U know once the trader is placed u can't move it.
    But now, it has a deadline which encourages me to start picture the deed that i want in more details. Like the trader it's a little push in other words.
    So ya, i bought a trader finally. Once and for all.
    Actually, the traders will remain in-game as a testament to the game's history, it's the reason why i reconsider to buy it again.

    But i did something that i did not expected which doesn't relate to the monthly upkeep thing.

    I just bought a trader.

    the function of traders will be discontinued and the refunds will not be in place. Traders will remain available for purchase until July 17th, so seize the opportunity to invest in the future of your deeds with trader contracts while you still can.

     

    Before my main deed is 1s32c60i monthly upkeep.

    After having the discount from trader is 1.326s x (1-20%) = 1.0608s monthly upkeep

    So I save 0.2652s per month. 1.3260s - 1.0608s = 0.2652s

    Cost of the trader is 35s.

    35s / 0.2652s per month / 12months = 10.99798893916541 years.

    I will need 10.99798893916541 years to cover the cost of the trader if i don't shrink or expand my deed from now on.

    Who knows what will happen in the coming 11 years, but ya, i bought a trader.

     

    The main point is i bought the trader with something i did not expected which isn't about the monthly upkeep thing.

    So seize the opportunity to have something may be unexpected.

    We aren't going to tell you anything else because figuring it out is part the system's depth

    They don't share many details on features can maintain the complexity of the content. People sometimes dont know how complex can the content be, until u tell them or they play long enough. When people figure it out how complex it is, many of them will be like wow, this is the content that has a lot of potential to explore further. It engages them in the game.

    thanks for proving me right, and i do rest from Wurm

    There is sleep bonus made after couple days of rest. Those sleep bonus that i made have engaged me to start skilling in the game for a long time.

    I have alot of content to do when ever i come back from breaks and get that special wurm inspiration. But my content is to progress forward and develop my deed.

    Here is the other example of self made content that have engaged people in the game for a long time. The account joined in 2012, now is 2023.

    Looking at why players don't engage with new content IS focusing on what makes people lose motivation to play the game.

    Looking at why players don't engage with the old content IS focusing on what makes people mainly lose motivation to play the game.
    They can stick to the old content which motivate them, if they don't engage with the new content. I haven't even touched the new holy sites content but i am still playing.
    Although some new content could affect on how people engage with the old content, that's why need to think twice before adding it.

    People keep talking as though the devs haven't added anything in ages but this simply isn't true.

    Agree.

    in what way do you think this would be significantly game changing?

    No, the focus should be on what makes people lose their motivation to play this game in order to know what motivate people to play this game.

    Why would it give us motivation to learn the skill?

    Because the action would be game changing in real way IMO.

    And a game changing decision can heavily affect the motivation to play this game.

    So all the other sandbox games are false?

     

    im so tired of hearing this, give me an example of self made content that have engage you in the game for a long time.

    Maybe im not creative enoug but ive asked this question to many people who says to make your own content, to this day i havent got any answer/examples of what that may be.

    Take a rest then.

    Of course i realize the downsides of something like that when it's in the hands of people willing to abuse it. 

     

    That's why I also mentioned that it wouldn't be a bad idea to get these things linked to a similar role as a GM. Just not the same as GM, people that are streamers don't need to be moderators, it's different functions that service the game with different tools and different responsibilities. 

    I trust the GMs can select the people who are trusted by GMs.

    This is a good suggestion overall.

    Yes, Video and picture contents incoming. Excited.🔥

    The reason i mentioned "can move through walls/terrain" is not to have a view on locked area's. 

    More like, imagine a party of people walking through a mineshaft, it would give a better view to have the camera sit inside the wall to give a wider perspective and make the visual bigger and feel less cramped for the viewer.

     

    For walls it's really not supposed to be a thing like "oh my neighbor locked his door, i want to go spy on their stuff". It's more for example when people stream storage wars, imagine a camera panning through the house, showing all the valuables and then going to a shot of the participants. Commentating on the discussions they're having and giving the viewer an extra glance to the items they're discussing, dynamic visuals. 

     

     

    Most of this feature I more or less envisioned for professionals.

     

    Just imagine how nice it would be to have weekly engaging content within the universe of this game. How many people could get affected, see the fun the game can bring and have motivation to stick through the hard beginnings. 

    In the end wurm online is a sandbox game. A sandbox game builds on the imagination of the player. Engaging video content can give a spark to that imagination for many players and players to come.

    Engaging the video contents whatever u want, but u do realize the downsides of "can fly" wherever its in a locked area or not. How would u do with it?

    It would be nice if there was a possibility to have an account that:

    • can fly
    • fly through walls/terrain
    • Can not in any way interact with the environment

    I can't speak for the hermits since i can only speak for myself.
    I am not against people to show the creativity of wurm.
    However if the creator fenced the area with lock(s), i suppose they want people to knock before entering.
    So i am against players fly through (locked) walls/(locked minedoor)terrain unless u are GMs who are investing investigating a support ticket or monitoring players, etc.

     

    Since u already stated the downside of "can fly", i am not gonna repeat, but i can imagine the "..." in ur sentence.

    The downside is that people could easily use it to find all fallen deeds, all uniques,...

    I'm aware that the potential for abuse is high in these things, certainly in pvp.  I have a few idea's on how to lower that potential but first want to go in on why this would be a good feature.

     

    Currently it is quite hard for streamers or for players themselves to get a good view of something to capture it and share. With a cam account streamers/ youtubers could set up just the right angle to shoot and make a timelapse of a project for example. They could do showcases of people their deed as there are now already guided tours, just with better images.

     

    An easier time in making good, engaging video content of the game allows for more people to get engaged with the game and start playing. 

     

    Also an easier time in documenting the building process of a deed, all information like this gives accurate representation of what the game is and can actually make people excited to play. And for the players themselves, you can get a better history of your area, more beautiful screenshots, ...

     

    So that's the benefit.

     

    The downside is that people could easily use it to find all fallen deeds, all uniques,... On pvp, find all kinds of access to a deed and study the best way to get in without anybody even being able to stop you. 

    Some of the idea's I bring up are based on all characters (including the cam account) being linked to each other, it was mentioned that the game would implement this.

     

    • Link the cam account with 1 character linked to the player and make it so that the cam can't be placed more than X tiles away from that player. 
    • Hold detailed logs of cam accounts (log the exact location on the server, the direction the cam is looking in) , making it easy to determine people used it for scanning. When tied to the other accounts.
    • Let the cam be a feature that's given to players with good standing in a similar way as CM's and GM's are appointed but less strict

     

    have u consider the hermits in game?

    I play on Harmony since Steam release. Now i want a new place, because my place have no connection to ocean. But i want to build a harbor and ships. Many times i was traveling around harmony and was looking for a untouched place at the coast but i couldnt find anything.

    If u want a harbor and ships, build a connection from ur place to the ocean. A new path or a new tunnel whatever u call it. It becomes a coastal place.

    U can even start now.

    the new direction of wurm is one to bring in new customers and younger players. the hype appeals to the younger crowd.  the point is to drive you away and bring in the younger users who will say how amazing it all looks. then they ask their parents for their credit cards so that they can buy some sweet silver items from the cash shop.

    My first impression was like the burning flames and sounds of thunder can catch the young lads eyes after watching the new trailer.


    Will most likely listen to the mommy voice "join the community and play for free by visiting wurmonline dot com"
    because the flames and thunders are usually dangerous in the vast untamed world, the survival chance most likely increase by listening the voice who tell u what to do. A survival instinct.

     

    They did a great job in marketing the young generation to try wurmonline IMO. New branding New website New players!
