Posted July 21, 2017 6 minutes ago, Arium said: i'd like some more clarification on this too. so, does the animal get a server-specific caring setting, eg i could bring it to every server and care for it with a char and it'd remember those settings? or would it only remember the caring status of the original server? when crossing with an animal that is venerable and would've died of old age already yet is being kept alive by the caring system, will it have a certain time window in which its age wont be checked so you can take care of it and keep it safe? or will it be checked on server crossing and randomly fall over? When you cross over to another server your care-for does not follow so if you have a free slot available on the server you are crossing to, you would obviously be able to care for said creature. If you cross with a venerable creature do so with care as it will no longer be cared for when you arrive at your destination server. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2017 The best practice for this early release of cross-server animal transport is going to be: don't bring venerable animals over. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) On animals that suddenly become uncared for perhaps a change can be made to increase the time till they suddenly hack out a tongue and die? So your favorite venerable animal can be safely transported to a new server and cared for once unloaded. This will be a exciting feature, I do hope the large animal crates will not be bigger than a large crate, be nice to be able to transport 4 horses and a wagon in a knarr, where there is room in a standard knarr for a wagon and 4 large crates. Also it would be nice to be able to put these crates into a sailboat, would make for more interesting pvp I would think if you could crate 5 horses into a sailboat. Also for the new player in a rowboat to be able to transport cows/sheep/bulls/chickens/pigs. Edited July 21, 2017 by JakeRivers 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2017 Exciting news about animal cages What happens if a caged aggressive monster such as a dominated troll becomes untame ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2017 Animals cages! YAY! Now I can truly start my five speed pig breeding program. The new skill, eeeek. Not that I want Wurm to progress anywhere near the modern age, but let it be glassmaking. Or something textile-y. Flax farming, with linen processing and then finally swanky medieval dresses. Cold food cooking? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2017 I am SO HAPPY to see the cage feature. Idk what will happen to the animal selling market (in some weird way, it might actually improve). But it saves me having to keep separate horses on all servers that I travel to, in unprotected horsie houses, which is bad for breeding. I can just take my prized rainbow of 5 speeds from Xanadu to wherever I please! Now, I gotta figure out how you make one of these cages..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How strong is the cage? Will it hold uniques? Also, I wonder if this becomes a good way to stop the aging of hell horses, bred specifically for carts and wagons? I'm sure it isn't the intent, but it will get used that way, potentially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Quote Scenario rewards are also being changed slightly. Coming with this update will be a requirement for players to be premium in order to be rewarded scenario points as well as karma upon completing a mission. If the player that participated in the mission is non premium, they will only be rewarded karma and sleep bonus, but not scenario points. This doesn't go far enough, you can really use this system to entice players to go Elevation. have a different Tier for HOME SERVERS and ENEMY HOME SERVERS. So to get a certain tier of rewards, you go home servers or an Enemy Home server. Elevation should have the top tier rewards to entice more people to come. Not being a prem won't help much with this, as they will prem the alts [as we do now] just to do them on home servers in saftey of a CR nerf to enemy. Which is why you see mostly mains on ele and alts on home servers. You have to make this choice now or rip. Elevation needs more Reason to consolidate the pvp. And Enemy home servers need to have a reason to be visited, this mission system could prove worth the time. Home servers need to give low tier rewards just to get a player good enough to start to go to elevation or even enemy home servers.

What will your /caredfor list say on their original server in the meantime? Will there just be an empty name in the list, as in "Lightningbrisk, , Rolffast" or "Lightningbrisk, Unknown, Rolffast", or is it handled more gracefully? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Finally after all the begging and bribery's, we're getting animal transports for ships! We can now make them long delivery trips in style or actually can make rift without having to either ride for hours leading horses or find them once we get there by boat.

Posted July 22, 2017 Been moving animals across servers for a couple years now, only issue came up a couple months back, horse shoes get a little twisted but only like 4 every 2 or 3 days.. This didnt' start happening till the database schema changes but I don't think that is what caused it. At any rate the wurm devs are smarter than me, so I am sure they can handle moving horses across servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or will there be an opt-in for this again? Yes, if they just add a skill and allow it to have food affinities it will change all your food affinities. This is why when the fix for the missing affinities was put in I assumed that meant they were never going to add new skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
