  1. im trapped on chaos and am in need of help getting back to indy
  2. Hi there, I am not sure if the below has already been suggested, if so please ignore this post. It occurred to me whilst travelling for over 5 hours from Pristine to Independence that a lot could be done to improve transport via boats within the game. What if we could gain skill from sailing whilst we are travelling as a commander of a boat? The higher your skill the faster you can sail. The more you sail, the faster you become at adjusting sails, the better you become at reading winds, etc. Even if we could gain a few kms of speed per 10 or so skill points would make a difference. From what I can tell sailing is one of the few skills that we don't see any gains from, we even gain skills whilst climbing. I truly believe that no one in there right mind feels that spending 5 hours of game time (which, mind you, is a game which is highly dedicated to skill gains) travelling in between servers is fun. I will give you an example of travel times from my recent trip (if my calculations are incorrect please let me know): Total trip was Pristine to Independence. Pristine - Xanadu average speed 13km traveled along 38 tiles, 250m per tile, total of 9.5km, at 13km per hour so 40-50mins give or take. Xanadu - Deliverance average speed 9km traveled along 40 tiles, 1km per tile, total of 40km, at 9km per hour so just under 4.5 hours Deliverance - Independence border average speed 12km traveled 7 tiles, 250m per tile, total of 1.75km, at 12km per hour so not very long In Indy 23 tiles, 500m per tile, total of 11.5km at an average speed of 12km therefore just over an hour. So any way you get the point......almost 63km in over 6.5 hours. Mind you is still had to get back to pristine. If I have messed up any of the maths please excuse it. Therefore if say at 20 sailing skill i could go even 3km faster it would take approximately over an hour off the trip. I for one would be more inclined to sail more between servers for hunting, fun and trader if is was a bit faster. What do you guys think?? I have added a poll to try and gauge how much support this idea might have.
  3. WTS small sailing boats made to order from your choice of wood. You pick it up only 75c delivery will cost extra depending on distance. PM me for details or to place an order. Larger boats available up to Cog but only making those for special orders. My in game name is same as here Arkadianwarking. Look forward to doing business with you.
  4. As I said in another post. being ported back to deli from xanadu is unrealistic and added pain to travelling cross servers for many people. Even though it does effect me to much I can see where It can pain alot of people. I suggest we have a portal window not unlike the portals at the tutorial area, that we can choice to put us on the server of choice 1-4 (freedom old cluster) Crossing from the old cluster is fair enough in how it works, but going the other way adds an extra leg that really doesn't need to be there. I know a portal window popup isnt ideal, but it's a good remedy to the current situation.
  5. I've been wandering the world of wurm now for over a year, yet I still move at a similar pace when I started! It would be nice if people who travel a lot got better at it over a period of time. To this end I propose adding 4 new skills and shifting climbing under one of these. Wandering - Hiking - Sailing - Climbing - Riding What do these skills do? Wandering gives a base speed bonus (1% per 10 points, ending in a 10% speed bonus), it levels VERY slowly. Hiking reduces stamina usage while walking by 3% per 10 points (ending with a 30% stamina reduction for walking). Sailing gives a 1% speed bonus per 10 points against the wind and a 2% speed bonus per 10 points with semi favourable wind and a 3% speed bonus with favourable wind. Every 10 points in riding allows mounts to be ridden up 1 steeper inclines. Climbing is unchanged These skills are intend to be slow gain and a bonus for people who are around often and travel often. I will say I am not a PvPer and have not taken PvP balance into account. However, if there is an issue then just make the bonus only take effect on PvE worlds (so PvP players can still gain the skills but they just gain nothing from them until they enter a PvE world).
  6. Absolutely love the land of Xanadu. Great job on the design but given it's size, sailing speeds NEED to be faster. Travel and trade among the community is essential to the game and boats are most definitely a primary method of transportation, especially on a map with the size and layout of Xanadu. A long journey by sea (by long I'm meaning numerous hours) when travelling between servers is understandable as that is a unique voyage but no one wants to spend 4-8 hours or more simply sailing to another part of Xanadu for something trivial like completing a business transaction or helping someone, etc. There's no doubt going to be people saying "It's fine the way it is, blah blah, etc" but save you're breath. It needs to be addressed. No one wants to spend multiple hours in their boat every time they need to travel, and they shouldn't have to. Realistic or not, let's keep travel fun.
  7. Horseback riding takes a certain amount of stamina. The most I recall is the strain of just controlling the ornery beast to keep it from eating everything on the trail. It did not reduce my stamina in any meaningful way. However in Wurm stamina drains swiftly while riding, just as fast it would were it you (and not the horse) running. This is not natural and not realistic. The horse might grow tired, certainly, but they do not tire as men tire or at the same rate. It would seem more apparent that when horses were added the code was simply not altered in any way to prevent stamina loss as though a player had been running. Sailing does take a smaller amount of stamina. I have sailed and while handling lines and tacking all while attempting to get in what is almost always every other direction other than the wind is blowing to - it is not as draining as say - running. As it is in Wurm. People have told me that, again, this is a feature - not a bug. I believe that it boats where just added, as horses were - without any thought to reducing stamina loss/distance traveled - either the coder did not care or did not know that horseback riding and sailing are generally less strenuous activities than running 9kmh in platemail. The fix is simple - dig down in that spaghetti code of travel for boats and horses and add a coefficient for them. They can still drain stamina, but the should not drain anywhere near the amount they do. This is not a feature request this is a bug report. There is no way in any universe that so closely resembles are own that such a glaring incredulity could have been overlooked. There are many instances were fantasy can be invoked to bring about a greater level of game and a lesser degree of realism, but when it is in contravention to known strenous levels it begins to smack of 'fantasy as a crutch'. TL;DR Boats and horses should not use the vast amounts of stamina they currently do. It is a bug.

  9. Pristine Wind

    Is it just me or has the wind speed been at Light breeze to strong breeze for at least 2 weeks if not longer? Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
  10. As the topic says I suggest changing the position of the driver on the larger boats to in front of the sail like on the small sail boats. This would increase the visibility of the driver and make navigating a lot easier.
  11. I was wondering what people would think of a simple trinket (like a compass) that tells the wind direction for sailing purposes. It would be HUD component much like the Compass which shows the direction of the winds. This would eliminate the need to have to examine all of the time for sailing.
