Posted October 22, 2018 I am in principle against the creation of new servers. The player/server ratio is already below acceptable to have no current servers closed actualy. Perhaps better to change the destination of a current server (with compensation for the affected inhabitants, speaks for itself). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2018 So who wants to give up there server for this idea ? Epic ? maybe Release or Pristine would like to ? Don't think anyone would want to ... Maybe even Chaos , how many subservers do they have ? The idea is a good one but it comes down to using a less used server instead and not permit any building at all , only a tent for rez . No uniques at all , just some harder mobs the farther you go inland .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2018 rifts are unusual spawning event of creatures.. could easily mix up a lore story about a raid cave, static raid template or rng procedurally generated rooms in a cave network of traps, loot, deaths and loss of skill gear and so on.. to keep it fun after all is the initial idea just valrei mobs for potions and moonmetal loot, gank the epic mobs, get the loot and go cash it how is this idea actually fun and not just a loot spitting machine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a place where players could go to find a challenging hunt and put their skills and gear to the test while exploring a wild wilderness. No deeds, no pvp just lots and lots of baddies to mess with, and some critters you can't find anywhere else along with some rare things the devs may drop in there to test or reward successful hunters with from time to time. Dangerous as a single individual, challenging with a group of like minded hunters. Edited October 22, 2018 by Thalius 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This; the epiphany and embodiment of someone who doesn't understand absolutely a single square footnote of anything about Wurm as a whole is the normal decision swayer in many suggestions. How many subservers does Chaos have? From this alone is enough to completely discredit any information you have to contribute, agreeing or disagreeing with the mass. It seems for whatever reason all too often people that 'are' this kind of misinformed always immediately take some kind of aggressive and soccor mom manager seeking tone, and yea, you did too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2018 And see there you jump to conclusion , it was sarcasime . No one is willing to lose there server for a hunting only . And yes I made mistake its epic that has the 4 different land masses . Some people think adding a new server for hunting only will pull more people away , I don't think it will . Only servers that let you build and deed did that , a pure hunting one wont .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2018 I mean, technically all the freedom servers a subservers of Chaos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2018 +1 Premium only access. No permanent construction at all. Fast decay on anything dropped, even tents. Your boat is your refuge. No paving, at all, ever, for any reason. Very fast decaying (like 3 wurm days or less) wooden defense (bashable by baddies): Spoiler Ruins. Maybe some original artwork related such as: Spoiler Angry gorillas Spoiler Associated cm/gm created archaeology Native champ troll and uber goblin of Libilic helldom fortifications / encampments. Forests of enchanted trees that can't be affected by players. etc. And if you can make it to the very center of the map, you must face: Spoiler The Enki! pro-tip: bring a barrel of milk. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were wrong and are now writing in the blanks acting like you weren't You have no sense even debating changes for the game with such little understanding of anything well off for Wurm, because what you are agreeing with is deteriorating the game When threads like this come up it's so vividly clear of who does and doesn't 'get it'.

Nice expansion on the base idea thank you, although I would not want to be the one to find "The Enki" befor it has had its morning coffee. I have played alot of other mmo's and this is the first one that has the least grouping for fun and to make new friends type of area. Sure Chaos has kingdoms but not the type of content that draws people into the game over and over by meeting new friends that keeps them playing. Although Wurm could use alot more advertising we also need a reason to explore and meet new people other than the trade channel. Yes living off the land/ and just a tent or boat , no paving or deeds, all make a "home" server a place to return too that is safe the reason to have a server for just hunting and grouping up. No population loss for any server and more reasons to use that dusty old sail boat<s> that you have been collecting. Maybe even sea monsters that damage or destroy boats. Champion Giant Angry Squids anyone? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was the suggestion of allowing construction of wooden defenses that decayed rapidly and were bashable by certain baddies, but I could not imagine they would add much to server load as you mentioned.

Posted October 24, 2018 -1 We don't need anymore servers. Go to one of the small servers and hunt. I got 2 alts to 50fs in a couple of days just hunting on Release. If you can't find something to hunt then there is either broken code at work or you're not looking hard enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the idea is to "get atls to 50fs" or to hunt already existing mobs...it is to give people with high fs the opportunity to hunt different kinds of mobs which will actually present a challenge to their skill, thus curbing the boredom which comes with "oh, another troll, whoopdeedoo". 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sorry but it also should be about building fighting skill above 70-80 which is a pain on pve. Also the more difficult mob to kill the better loot should be, at least more meat if nothing else, or some special kind of meat or a chance for some unique new items to motivate people to go on hunting expeditions. If it's only new harder mobs and no gain at all I would just quit using new server and continue hunting on easier mobs for equal gain even better as it would be faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2018 So far every QoL that people have asked for.. and later devs have implemented... players have yet again whined about.. how the game is way too easy Thing with demands is..... 'we want easy', than 'oh now it's too easy, I've been spending last 2-3-6-36 months grinding this ONE skill, now I'm OP AF, I am super bored now.. as nobody else did what I did.. and when I want to have fun, oh well I'm at another level now". Um.... yea..... if you grind to be good at something, the tough stuff becomes easy.. stop whining about it, be thankful your work was worth doing it in the 1st place. We want challenging, we want ez skill, we want.. MORE QOL to whine later about - sorry but this is what I read, it just gets repeated over and over. Come to your senses if you want fun and challenging keep it that way, to get something you have to give something, if you want challenging prepare to lose a foot or more, we're not talking about challenging here, we're talking about teams to gank op creatures, there's no challenge in super prepared people doing it. I'm up for a new raid mechanic, similar to rifts or other if that was needed... as we all know rifts and how they work, spawn, happen at random times etc.... sometimes it's hard to go to 1 rift in months, unless you sacrifice a lot IRL to just be there for your own server or travel elsewhere at inconvenient times just to see how rifts are nowdays.. You want challenging, you know who gives you challenges.. ask mr enki to show you a bit of his world, play in the rules of it whatever they are if you dare, you want a challenge.. we could have a ladderboard with points of slayed creatures or participation in that other realm of madness or w/e it's to be called. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I still don't understand why some people are so dead set against something like this being in WO. Things like this are already in practice on many of the WU servers and are very successful and popular. One of the nice things about WU is that it has put-the-lie to so many firmly entrenched WO assumptions. lol. On the WU servers I've seen where they have areas like what's proposed here, the reality contradicts every argument I've seen against it so far. It simply has no negative impact whatsoever, but does add a very cool fun factor to the game for those with higher fs who like to fight with a group and meet people. And as has been said, arguing that there are not enough people in the game, therefore don't add anything that might increase the fun factor is so counter-intuitive that I hardly know what to say to those folks. Guess I'll just mosey on back to WU and quit trying to talk sense before my second cup of coffee. Edited October 25, 2018 by Amadee 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
