Actually this was the plan from when Rifts were first designed out. Back in the dev chat, really - we knew that we would have to create features unique to Wurm Online. Wurm Unlimited is an unusual situation for any game developer to have as it's a game that directly competes with our other product. In contrast, we do plan on improving our support for Wurm Unlimited modding in the future. In this way neither product is being "abandoned", but they are being developed for their unique situations. Your anti-cheat system, you may choose to release this or keep it for yourselves. As true with some features of Wurm Online. Rifts are not a sign that we are stopping WU updates, only that there will be features that stay in WO going forward. Which features those are and for how long they remain exclusive to Wurm Online will be decided by Rolf and Budda at that time and announced. That's pretty much all I have to say on this. I hope to see folks testing this weekend! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 Ah, now when this comes out I will reprem. The rifts sound like good buisiness, especially for healers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hota lost its purpuse long ago when depots became more frequent, easier and rewarding.... Now we dont even need depots! home server people and freedomers can get it without risk.

I'm not talking from the perspective of a skilled player who wants to sell his services (since I play on Chaos), but crafting is a major part of this game and it would be a shame to leave it out of this. Yes. It shouldn't be completed pieces that drop. But receipes and parts to make it instead. Don't take our crafting away from us! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the perfect idea. Makes it a more community like event as may need the involvement of hermit type crafters who don't go to these events. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you mean WU - I'm working on getting a build environment set up, though it's not going to be by the 24th. For WO, we have some bugs open and could use a few folks that run Mac to help test and debug. You can email me at keenan@wurmonline.com if you're willing. I'll likely reach out tomorrow sometime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 Do you play the rifts alone or with/against other players? Do you get teleported from (xxxx) portal to a rift server or do we create a new account, similar to challenge? Do our skills transfer if using a portal? If that is the case, what are the implications of dying on such a server? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 13, 2016 1 hour ago, Retrograde said: What rewards are possible? Each creature killed has a small chance of dropping loot directly into the killers inventory, as the difficulty increases with each wave, the strength of the loot does too Does this mean anyone attacking the monster, or whoever gets the last hit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 can we get some numbers on amount of moon that will drop from these rifts? some examples maybe for different rewards to different groups? 10 players getting to wave 5 5 players getting to wave 5 50 players getting to wave 25 etc etc just some examples please so we know what we're going to be dealing with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 29 minutes ago, Keenan said: It was stated when WU was released that this was a possibility. Just like WU servers can have their own custom mods, so too can Wurm Online. Will WU be updated like the official server? Yes, the game will be updates with fixes from the Wurm Online code which will remain the main development track. There's the actual quote from Rolf and the source is this web site. I fail to see any reference to not providing updates to WU. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 13, 2016 Had this point of view raised to me in a convo. Gotta agree with it. "Person": "Each wave requires the sacrifice of hearts butchered from the mobs to summon the next wave" "Person": why the ###### "Person": if they cant keep up "Person": the rift should close "Person": why the ###### would they make it like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 Maybe hota has lived out it's life with the rewards it gives out, maybe devs need to think of a better HOTA game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 will rifts scale with amount of people present or will it turn into another unique zergfest with no challenge? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I read that, myself, is that "fixes" will come from the WO code, not necessarily all new features added to WO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 A question I have not seen addressed is: "How often will rifts crop up and how will their number be scaled to server size? Are they going to turn into another dragon/unique server wide event or are they likely to be more common local events?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2016 1 hour ago, Retrograde said: most shoulder pieces buff lighter armours, cloth, chain, leather, so wont have much impact on pvp. The other jewellery has slight bonuses to damage types or other factors, but is not yet nailed down, thus why we haven't included that info in this post I don't mind adding stuff that can be used in PvP... but the current whole pvp system is disorganised unbalanced as it is.. or if this is a way of adding counters to specific things it's probably not the best way to approach it. I'm sure it's possible to turn all the combat features off on PvP servers if it's too difficult to turn it off for PvE only.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're curious to see how well this one goes, the difficulty, and the scale. Loot will always draw people in, so we're not fullly decided just yet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
