More village mgmt options

Recommended Posts

Added more roles to village management:- lead, pickup, tame, load, butcher and attach lock. Note Load needs Pickup set at same time to work

Changed the delay for vote question to be 5 seconds before being shown

Fix for charcoal piles on deed, they now should decay like they are off deed

Moved unhitch to a sub-menu to stop people accidently clicking it

Some Epic abilities were debugged and tweaked. These changes will be discussed in the Epic forums and possibly tweaked further.

Expired Epic missions should now be replaced more properly

There’s now a small chance that Valrei creatures yield some Seryll when butchered.

And the village options, NIFTY!!! PICKUP on role page! Does this means ally no longer automatically able to pickup? :))

Really like the butcher idea, some other hard mobs should give special items like this too =)

Overall these are good additions, still not enough 'paranoia' in the defaults, or after trading a deed!

Yes, that is included in this change.  You can, of course, add that to the Ally role if desired.

Thx, but we citizen have to wait for our mayor to be online because "citizen may not pick up items outside buildings" seems to be a default setting.

Great update. A lot of those new permissions/roles were sorely needed. :)

Note: Citizens defaulting to not having pickup options is gonna cause grief for anyone with semi active mayors.

Excellent new deed permission settings! No more strangers butchering on deeds too, Ha! Yes, pickup, etc will now have to be set as desired which may cause problems for some citizens in the interim but that is the way changes work. Always some minor drawbacks at first to be dealt with. Well done, Dev'os!

That's already what happens. Which is sad though.

This is what happened to me, my neighbor sold me his deed when he moved to pristine, his deed overlaps a bunch of the clay in the area, so i always had that so that allies can dig there, then i made a new deed for newbies to live in, and since it was still mostly needing terraforming and whatnot, i made a role for the newbie village on the other one so they could use the mine there and the pens and fields which i basically left untouched.

But i forgot to add dig permissions to that role. End result, eve though that deed was in the alliance, and allies could dig there, the people on that deed couldn't because their own role wasn't set up for that.

Its nice since it gives more control, but on the other hand its kind of wogic.

Would be nice if you could setup new roles in it but instead it just tells you [17:24:14] No village found with the name true. (or false) and creates a global role


 


GMs then say Out of Hours - maybe call back tomorrow...

Astonishing!

I begin to understand why [he who controls me] still is a poor, lonely database wizard, riding into the sunset, blessed with high regard by the customers, but severely lacking the monetary compensation.
 
He just does it wrong. Rofl knows ways better how to do it, after all there's ppl left and right that are shoving money in any of its available pockets, right? Well, he's on holidays half the year, right?
 
So I'll kick [him who controls me] until he finally realizes, and accepts, my newly learned road to fame, glory and wealthiness that I'll now share with you :

  • When we change basic parts of the rights distribution system next time, we'll keep it top secret. Warnings are for sissies, who'd ever wish for such?
    .
  • When the change is on line, we only say that there's a change. Not one word more. This will add greatly to the fun, excitement and entertainment of our customers.
    .
  • We'll make sure to leave some serious bugs in - anyways, testing is for sissies, too, right? And a new feature that actually works is boring, right? Booooring ...

This will work. I'm sure.
[He who controls me] will not stand a chance against my mighty spells, Fo be praised! We'll become happy, and really, really rich! We'll be wurming all day long, he'll have a phat car, and I'll have a white drake set, and a huge deed, only for me, where I can keep at least 20 champ crocs, and maybe a few sharks too? It'll be heaven!
 
I already can imagine the EMails exchanged by our customers:
 
 

Ant_1 to Admin: Cannot do anything. "That would be illegal here. You can ask your admin for the local laws." Can you help?
Ant_2 to Admin: Cannot do anything. "That would be illegal here. You can ask your admin for the local laws." Can you help?
...
Ant_162489 to Admin: Cannot do anything. "That would be illegal here. You can ask your admin for the local laws." Can you help?
...

Admin to List_Ants: I'm working on it, be patient plz

...
CEO to Admin: You can solve this, right now, right? I hope, for you ...
...
Admin, after fighting the new rights distribution system for hours, finding out that half of the stuff plainly doesn't work, to himself: "No department found with the name false." ARRGGHH!!!
...
Admin to [He who controls me]: When will this junk get fixed?
[He who controls me] to Admin:  I has identified the issue with creating new departement roles. Should be fixed soon.
Admin to [He who controls me]: ARRGGHH!!!
...
(We'll skip a bit here, content might not be approbate for minors)
...
CEO to [He who controls me]: Please, we're out of business for 2 days now. We have already burned the Admin on the stake, to appease you. No change. Now I see stakeholders outside my window, carrying tar and feathers! Please help!
[He who controls me] to CEO: I hear offers?
CEO to [He who controls me]: [incredible sum of money]?
[He who controls me] to CEO: 30 seconds after it's on my account you'll be reset to the previous version, OK?
CEO to [He who controls me]: Thank you so much! I'll send a courier right now, instantly!
...
[He who controls me] to Xandra: Thx a lot, just bought your drake set. And a [crazy car] for me. We'll have a good time now :)

 

Who says that video games don't teach you something for RL?

 

Have fun!

It would be easier to manage a village without the animal ratio.
