Posted June 20, 2014 use of flowers / botinized / forages items to create 'lures'. applied to a tile to increase / decrease % chance of (depending on lure) mob/farm animals spawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2014 Use something from the mob to attract others with the scent ... I like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 20, 2014 Neat! Basically a player placed animal spawner (probably limited length of existence and much smaller spawn chance, but still). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2014 Awesome, many additions to the way we can hunt in wurm have been suggested before and its great to see the idea still being brought up. Specially when it dose not include a new hunting server +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2014 +1Though it might need some kinds of limitation to avoid too many in one area otherwise if you dislike someone. 100 troll lures around their deed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2014 Though it might need some kinds of limitation to avoid too many in one area otherwise if you dislike someone.Presumably you mean for PvE servers. I doubt it would be that hard to add some limits. Going by Wurm's typical mechanics, I think lures probably wouldn't actually work very well and you'd have to build ten or more high-ql lures to expect something to actually spawn unless you are extremely lucky. Not being able to build them on deeds I'm sure would also be a given. Additionally, I think if a lure successfully attracts a monster, it could then prevent all local lures of the same type from working for a period of time (perhaps 18-24 hours). So while some griefing potential might exist, it'd be a rather big waste of someone's time. Trolls aren't that huge of a problem anyway, even to new players (I killed my first troll with 4 fight skill simply by kiting it to a guard tower). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2014 Probably easier just to have a radius on them like guard towers have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2014 Would be more useful to use lures to get retarded cridders off mountains, than to get things to spawn on a tile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Probably easier just to have a radius on them like guard towers have.I thought about that, but honestly, that would be annoying (which doesn't necessarily mean it isn't valid). Edited June 21, 2014 by Nmenth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
