/v/ - Video Games

is this the game that takes half an hour to chop a tree down?

>>16011944

no

>>16012007

are you sure

>>16012967

Anon do you happen to be the "let it die" autist who haunts half the threads on this board, its rare to see you do more than (1)

>>16011408

Is the verified and subscription account worth it? I feel like it isn't but I don't know much to tell.

>>16013020

the free account is how haven and hearth used to play, now its just like legacy haven and hearth after the community convinced jorb and loftar to shape up. The "verified account" is just donating 15 dollarydoos once to get fuckall more LP and 30% faster "civil" actions like cutting a tree down or sawing a board. It exists to support the development, otherwise a free account is just playing the game normally without restrictions.

>>16013020

I'd say the best thing from subscribing/verified is the bag space, if you're doing one or the other, I'd say verifying's the best since it's permanent.

>>16013055

>in game hours

fug, real life hours.

>>16013055

the new curio system has made it much less of an idle game allowing you to do whatever the fuck while you construct, adventure, forage, etc

There are still a few things that cook off for a while like drying/tanning hides, cooking opium, and tar pits. and curios run off ingame time as well now which is nice.

Hoping you will join us for the wild ride, when the server starts there will be plenty of crashing after loftar fucks up the servers ports chaos as people with no ability to murder eachother or protect their property scramble to find a place to settle in and hold on tight. However hafen is much safer now and theres far less R U S S I A happening. Credos are also permanent meaning someone can slaughter you and you don't lose any credo progress and have all the bonuses when you return.

>>16013055

oh and another thing you can make three wide gates now meaning the gates of Outer Haven can't be accidentally reamed by a wagon and cause a huge jam

>>16015410

you put a claim up, you get a wall up, if someone wants to use a battering ram on your walls or a wrecking ball it has to set for three ingame days to a week ingame, meaning you have good forewarning that russ wants your shit..

>original owner logged back in to the flat plain that used to be a village we call home

>stole a curio and nothing else

>both alts just afk

>no rage to loot them

ah well the server ends in less than two weeks anyhow

>>16013027

>30% faster tree cutting

Pretty p2w to me

Looks fun though

>>16013055

Hey thats me in the second pic. Id be down for another round of ruski survival game if we get enough people for a village

Can you play offline solo?

>first thread shows up

>"oh hey, it's that game i played in several worlds with 99ch, 7ch, and other losers"

>it was fun but seriously grindy even when curios replaced making tons of wooden cutlery

>i decide to pass

>serious HAPPENINGS occur and i miss all of them

My eternal regret.

>>16011408

>-you can no longer straight up murder people, you have to whittle them down, learning rage now allows you to murder.

Wait a second. How does one "whittle them down", and more importantly, you won't need to buy Murder separately? You can just get Rage and go to town? Will Murder be removed entirely?

>>16013065

>new curio system

Curios were implemented years before the first 8ch village, if I remember. Do you mean the system has been / is being reworked?

>>16019530

>original owner logged back in

How long has world 10 been around? The early worlds usually ended after a few months, wasn't the 8ch village several years ago?

I'm down, how do I add you?

God damn I've eaten my way through half a forest just to complete this task. Can someone give me a quick rundown on how to play this game?

>>16021541

I'm on the same task, I managed to build a kiln that's cool.

You know I don't mind playing as a naked red head, but I would like to figure out how to make clothes.

>>16021685

Yeah, I'm incredibly confused

if you all add the hearth secret "serialautist" and are prepared to kill yourselves, you can respawn on my wilderness beacons as we coordinate

to easily kill yourself see the nearest bear or toggle swimming and swim till you drown.

>>16021367

to murder now you have to kill someones HP via the new wound system, aka you knock them the fuck out and keep knocking them out till they run out of HP which will happen fast since a good solid hit will give them 60-80 wound points per downing

fuck I have no wilderness beacons give me ten minutes

ok beacon is burning, it will last for an hour for any interested, simply put the secret into the mounted skull in the afterlife, its serialautist still.

Then once the skulls eyes are lit and burning, talk to the wizard for a name and then jump into the fire

>>16021877

The fuck you talking about? I'm not buying shit, I thought this was 8chan?

>>16021877

anon please we all know were all going to be unpaid individuals.

>>16021881

>>16021883

It was already asked about above. Game is perfectly playable with Free Account unlike back in World 8 where they had retarded system where the time you could stay logged in was limited by your account type (Verified had double the Free, Subscription gave unlimited.) Custom clients quickly implemented opposite feature from Legacy that made you automatically log out after some time in case you forgot your character online, burning the limited time. This was feature in Legacy (100%) for some reason and people generally considered it mere annoyance since you had to leave your character AFKing for Personal Beliefs (currently removed/unimplemented.)

One protip to get Learning Points early is to unlock Fishing. It will pay back half of the 200 LP spent on it immediately as you can now craft Bushcraft Fishingpole and Bone Hook, both granting base 50 LP from "discovering" them when you craft them for the first time. Every Fish will you catch for the first time will grant additional LP, very first one giving even more as you also discover "any fish."

Only problem is that you need bait to catch fish. You won't have energy to dig for Earthworms at the start, your Hitpoints are limited and you'd need energy to regenerate them so letting Leeches fatten themselves up on your character isn't too practical either. You will need to find a flock of chickens, catch them (they wont run away) wring their necks for them to take less storage, take them to base and then pluck them for feathers (useful for curiosities, can be stockpiled) and clean them for entrails that can be used for bait. Fish seem to be best when spitroasted (Drying them is an option but takes a literal RL week.)

http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Category:Spitroast_Fish

is the game still going to have autistic russian neets that run their own client and mass bot without consequences?

>>16021973

Botting is still a problem but devs have been making progress to make the gap between casual player and mass botter less of an chasm. Most important one is probably the Study Table which means you don't need to have client open 24/7 to automatically refill curiosities when they finish.

>>16021367

>How long has world 10 been around? The early worlds usually ended after a few months, wasn't the 8ch village several years ago?

World 10 is more than two years old at this point. I think record for shortest world was 3 months but it had to do with some bug that had extreme effect on in-game economy. Sometimes world has also reset due to hardware failure on server, but these days they have proper professional hosting with backups.

On the discovery LP, forgot to mention that different tree seeds also give discovery, so pick one of each when you spawn.

ok how do I join you fags

>>16022059

You need to wait for beacon guy to respond and light a beacon for you. Beacon will last for an hour and you spawn to it by entering it's name to Skull pole thing in character creation area.

>>16022070

our second beacon just burn out, keep refreshing this thread while I make another.

when you are in the aferlife creating your character, find the wizard, enter the character name you want, then on my signal, go to the skull behind him and speak to it, enter serialautist as the password, its eyes will begin burning, then huck yourself into the wizards campfire.

>>16022070

Beacon lit, follow instructions above and jump in within the hour

>>16013055

I still remember that, the Russians tracked us down because someone made the mistake of stepping on to one of their claims. Dude beat down the pallisade to my little base that was away from the village right in front of me, I had to run out the back door and abandon my home. I cant remember what name I used when I played with you guys but I joined up with character I already had and boated to you for like an hour with a couple friends, good times. Think it might have been Palo? Maybe?

How's the new village coming along? I've been wanting to play again but a new /v/illage never happened because of the paygate they added with the new version, is that changed?

>>16022081

Did it burn out again? serialautist isnt working.

>>16022121

were doing ok

>>16022136

Ill light the backup right now, we had a fifth join, join within the hour

>>16022121

Free accounts now have unlimited playtime, verified and subscription now receive small buffs to inventory space and speed at which some non-combat actions are completed.

I think of myself as relatively experienced player, I could come to give advice on in-game chat and hang out.

>>16022201

Sounds cool.

>>16022214

"serialautist" was not working so I went to buy groceries. Will be monitoring this thread now.

>>16022426

I think he went to bed or work, or something.

>>16022527

Can anyone else at the /v/illage light a Wilderness Beacon?

>>16022050

I was mostly referring to how >>16019530 said he logged in to where the village used to be, and to my memory the 8ch/v/illage was several years ago. Now that I think about it, I think threads then had the old 2D graphics and world 10 is in the new Hafen graphics, so I guess the /v/illage that was in this world can't be the original one.

>>16022587

World 8 started August 28, 2015 and introduced the 3D version and the de facto pay2play model.

World 9 started February 18, 2016 effectively fixed the payment model and introduced new siege mechanics (that are being reverted in World 11 because every siege devolved into race to exploit the system)

World 10 started January 7, 2017 meaning that it ran over two years before w11 was announced.

>>16022566

ill work on one for you pal, gimme a bit

>>16022566

Got one ready, let me know when you're around and ill light this bad boy up so you can get into the village

>>16022710

I'm ready.

>>16022727

whoops, forgot to check the thread. lighting it now, serialautist is the secret

>played this few years back

>played for good while for about week or two before raid

>now there's chance for new beginning

I might join later, anyone playing at the moment?

>>16023124

up to six people already in the warmup /v/illage if we havent been razed

Does anyone have a link to a custom client that doesn't have a keylogger in it? The cursor in the official one disappears on Linux.

How the fuck do I lift

>>16023903

adventure>lift, hotkey shortcut is A>L

>>16023911

Yeah but it's turned to a finger icon and literally nothing I click on does anything

>>16023915

Not everything is liftable. Right-click to get regular cursor back.

>>16023919

Yeah but what constitutes a "liftable object"? I can't continue with the tutorial. I've tried myself, rocks, items I've picked up and dropped, my axe, a stockpile, nothing

>>16023903

Squats 'n oats

Oh I see, it's for furniture and container objects

>>16023923

Old log, tree log, rock that has been chipped enough, wiccker basket.

>Restore energy until healing by eating

So what, I just eat a fuckton of berries until my energy meter is full?

>>16024071

You should be eating pretty much any food you come across yes. Eating is what increases your stats permanently.

>Can't do shit because stamina is low

>Need water

>Can only drink from a birch container for some reason

>Birch trees are pretty rare from what I've found

>Accidentally dropped 2 kuksas in the water and lost them forever

FUCK

>>16024111

I'm trying to figure out how the game works before jumping into it

>>16024115

But the entire point of the game is to learn small parts of it and letting others do the rest.

>>16024682

autismo + red menace + learning for 30 minutes then grinding for weeks only to log in and see it all destroyed

Is the Dis clan still alive? I remember them and the brazilians being the biggest assholes in the previous worlds.

>>16024693

So I made a guy, spawned somewhere and have a handful of raw resources, and not even a stable food supply. I haven't chosen a Credo yet, and I grabbed farming and stoneworking skills.

I'm in a shaded area called "Dis" and I'm not sure what the significance of it is, beside some buffs. I don't really know how the world works; like if I join the /v/ clan, it's not instanced, it's some place in the middle of a shared world?

>>16024734

Yes. Ill make a wilderness beacon and you can make an alt to spawn on it or suicide and keep 45% of what little you have earned until server wipe

>>16024763

Maybe later; like I said, I know it's not quite the point of the game, but I want to make a mess of things solo before joining a group

>>16024728

And that does it for me

>>16024885

>not killing the horsefucker and stealing the emblem he paid money to put in full color and throwing it in the river

you have no spirit anon.

Is this "game" an elaborate troll? Its fucking java, and they make you install java instead of bundling their game into an exe with java? Even fucking notch managed that much and he's a fat worthless retard.

I just tried to punch some ants to death and got wrecked

>They use the Hydralisk spit sound to attack

>>16012990

No that's me and I really just want to talk about a game I enjoy with you guys

>>16025071

Sure.

>>16025071

you can cook meat.

Figured out how to make a stone table and chair, and some wooden tableware. Just need to get some food and stuff going.

I keep getting wasted by a snake, how do I not die like a bitch? Also, my health is yellow and says 1/45/100, what do

>>16025247

The first is your soft HP, when that's reduced to zero, you're knocked unconscious, the second is your hard HP, that's reduced when you receive wounds which you can see in the wounds tab of your character sheet, and the last number is your total HP. Each wound has a different method required to treat it, but many just heal naturally over time, to recover soft HP you just need to wait while you're at 8000% energy or more.

http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Hitpoints#Wounds

>>16025247

you need to actually put points into unarmed before you fight anything ,you can crush a snake under a horse or a cart. also adders venom gives you a wound that slowly ramps up to 20-60 damage before ramping down so you are likely fucked.

>>16011408

Is the combat still shit?

So if I try to place a house or kiln or something, it complains that the terrain is wrong. It's like some brownish-grey area that I thought was just forest stuff. I can't lay bricks or stomp to dirt, and I haven't been able to level terrain yet, it always complains about lack of energy (which is what I'm still trying to solve)

>>16025716

You have to plow the dirt then you can lay stone.

>Realizing you can fill crates with shit and then put them in a cart and increase your effective inventory size several times over

>>16025874

Two weeks and it will be a new one. Also the old graphics female was much cuter.

Do stats and skill levels affect what you can craft, or only the quality etc of it?

>>16025926

Just the quality

>>16025972

Go into the river and dig up some clay and see if you can lay down a claim.

>>16025974

Okay, you need hearth magic to make a dreamcatcher, and then a beautiful dream. It will probably be unlocked then.

>>16025978

Ah, I didn't build one because I had no string. That's actually why I was looking for stuff in the swamp, I don't have any handy fibres to craft

>>16025982

Perception is 15 to get the roots, you can see the roots on the mini-map, right click on them and your guy will walk up and pick them.

>>16026000

20 minutes.

>>16026000

Hey, where about you at fam?

>>16024115

You're supposed to play with a group because splitting tasks makes everything a lot easier, specially if you don't know every little secret that the game has.

>>16026021

Wish I could read a map better.

>>16026036

I know, but I have a weird thing where I want my contributions to be noticeable, but at the same time, I don't want to be forced to help out or relied on, so this lets me gear up at my own pace. I'm pretty comfortable with it now, I'll probably hook up before the reset and touch base with everyone

>>16026037

Just look for one of the two or three big town-like shapes on yours and see if there's any connection

>>16026021

What's your name in game?

>>16026055

Hearthsecret I mean.

>>16026056

Try 2pfbuTGp

if anyone still wants in, we have beacons ready, let us know

>>16026082

That's only valid for fresh characters right

>>16026099

yes, or you can just drown yourself

>>16026071

Sorry, drowned.

>>16026181

All good. Thanks for making the effort to come out.

Rowboats are pretty awesome though

>>16026181

Ill light a beacon for you with serialautist now

Wait how do I get out of the rowboat

>>16026205

control leftclick dry land or shallow water

>>16026206

Thanks. I figured it out around the time you posted, but it's not the most intuitive thing.

I got a chicken coop built now, so that's cool

>>16026290

Well Haven and is the Dark Souls of Survival games after all :^)

>Shove shit into a kiln

>See a fucking mario fireball fly away into some guy's turf

>decide to screw around in wilderness before going to bed

>no idea where my char is but make new one anyway

>try enter the password

>No such name in use

I might try playing bit seriously now, anyone making beacon?

>>16011408

Is this Farmville?

>>16026731

Farmville with instant aggro racoons, trigger-happy russians and diverse ethnic groups which don't stand a chance against the red menace.

>>16026736

Farmville doesn’t have threat in the game.

The biggest fault with this game is combat its just not worth playing because of this.

>>16026737

It's an anarco capitalist, pagan hellscape where the only reason why your neighbor won't kill you is him being busy trying to corner the opioid market.

>>16026757

Is it based on history then?

Ive heard about this game but have never played it before. Ive played on the WURM and Eco servers for a bit. How does it compare? And how pvp heavy is it? I tend to stay behind the lines and just farm materials in these type of games.

>>16026866

As long as you don't have criminal acts turned on, you can't leave Scents that can be used to track you. People may consider certain areas "theirs" but if they haven't covered it with a claim, then they don't really own it.

>>16026405

>charging digital currency for skype ASMR with an online handle like ChildhoodObesity

based fat bitch

>>16026877

http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Scent

Without crime skills you can only walk across claim and not interact with anything in the claim. Tresspassing scent is kind of harmless but I think there was story in this thread where some Russian tracked some /v/illager's trespassing scent back to /v/illage and killed everyone just to spite people. So just don't turn on Criminal Acts and you'll be fine

>>16022050

>it had to do with some bug that had extreme effect on in-game economy.

If I remember correctly, the goons found a bug that Koreans had been exploiting for a while. They exploited it, too, and then reported it. Jorb showed up and started shitting gold bricks to celebrate with them.

They then used another exploit that they had up their sleeves a highly situational one, to boot to clone the gold bars by crafting it into nuggets and triggering a server shutdown by attempting to tame a wild Mouflon that had been fed about one hundred clovers, without sheering it. They'd figured out that items in your character's inventory would be saved before anything else in the event of a server shutdown, because they didn't bother saving the world's container inventory again, but only if the book-keeping code on the server didn't spot an item in your inventory in a container somewhere in the world. So the nuggets, freshly created as far as the book-keeping code was concerned, didn't associate them with the bars that were still in the containers they were left in. When the server came back up, they were left with both the nuggets in their inventory and the gold bars that had been left in the box that hadn't been updated prior to the shutdown.

t. One of the codemonkeys that used to hang around with the goons, after all of their really good ones left

So you XP by doing random shit, and then study curiosities and get lore events to convert it into LP, which is then spendable? Does XP have any other use, besides hearth magic?

How do I be more accurate with arrows? I've shot 3 so far and they've all missed. I let the bar fill up halfway, to the yellow, and only pissed off a beaver from my boat.

Is it worth it to just keep leveling my Foraging? Since I have so few possessions and skills, it's the most consistent way for me to get resources, even though I'd like to do stuff like farming (which takes forever).

>>16025874

I miss those days, but my memories of them are vague at best.

>decide to stop being a giant pussy and take up combat for once

>since everyone else is crafting and building, become de facto enforcer

>minor scent shows up

>hory sheet, something to DO

>turned out to just be the dude living nearby who was 7ch or something, and didn't want to be part of the village but also have all the benefits, and the guy whose property was trespassed on was cool with it

Such is life as a Hearthling.

Don't really want to invest any of my time in this if the server is resetting so soon. Someone make a new thread when that happens though and I'll help rebuild.

>>16026043

>I know, but I have a weird thing where I want my contributions to be noticeable, but at the same time, I don't want to be forced to help out or relied on, so this lets me gear up at my own pace.

Become a thief. You'll eventually get treated like Santa Claus, showing up with anvils and chests of metal, but clad in whatever garbage you happened to find laying around in someone else's abandoned house. All it takes is a little luck, and being in the right place at the right time.

>>16027473

Oh maybe. I know it's kinda dead right now, but are people generally respectable to others' property? Or does there get to be a lot of PvP against normalfags?

Also, is there any way to quickly deposit several of the same item to a stockpile (eg dirt). Also, how do I use the quickbar? I can move icons to it, but they seem unresponsive

>>16027403

Marksmanship only affects how fast you gain the aim meter. You would need to improve the quality of your bow and arrows to do more damage. Notably, being in melee range doesn't stop you from aiming and firing an arrow. Tested with my alt with low stats and I couldn't one-shot even a bat with q10 bow and arrow.

>>16027550

Shift-click usually transfers all items of same type. I'm not sure if it's custom-client only feature.

>>16027550

I haven't played much with the new Hafen. Back in the pre-3D days, we used to find ourselves with five to six hundred players on the server at any given time. The front page of the website now indicates that it's around one hundred. Suffice to say that most people who safely encountered each other in the wild did so in boats, to allow a pretty fair chance of escape if the other person turned out to be hostile. Being able to type quickly and keep your sentences positive in tone would drastically improve your chances of survival. Also, knowing a few languages really helps, as well. Short of having a shitty attitude or a great deal of wealth/fighters in your area, there's probably not much anyone would be interested in killing you over.

Shift-scrollwheel used to do that kind of thing in the old client. The hotbar is either a number-row thing, or F-keys. Best of luck.

>>16027580

>>16027550

Oh I see, it looks like the hotbar only responds to actions. I was hoping to move like, a crafting category there so I can just press 6 and open the food menu, for example. But that's fine, I can hotbar my flask and save a bit of time

I once talked to someone who was responsible for maintaining the bots that the goons used when making their Haven and Hearth efforts in a thread about a different game. If he's still posting here, maybe he has some left over goon tech.

>>16027648

>leftover goontech

the only thing laying about is the goon client for legacy which was a keylogger.

>>16027550

the newest world in hafen is much less ganky, probably due to being able to port away after having your shit stolen typically before they can deathblow you with wounds. There was also a "hermit and new player friendly" kingdom in our area that might still be active at its very heart, and the people settling within it tended to be friendlier types.

>>16027684

Realms added incentive to live and let live at your Realm. You can no longer attack KO'd players but it's relatively easy to attack in a way that will cause enough HHP damage to kill people if you have good enough weapon and high STR.

http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=62292

To my understanding, this is currently the best (or at least most feature-rich) client. Notable changes include that I is for inventory as Tab has been repurposed for toggling through targets that you have aggro'd. This is, for example, very helpful if you want to rather punch one of the bats still hitting you instead of pursuing the one that started to flee. X for character sheet, C for equipment.

If you are paranoid for keyloggers, you can check out the source code and compile the client yourself.

>>16027738

>Also fuck mites

If you are referring to midges (the insect swarms that bite you and leave wound) currently only way to avoid them is to enter cave or house and wait for them to despawn. Otherwise they just follow you infinitely. Jorb can be sadistic sometimes.

How fast can I expect to acquire fishes? It seems to take quite a while for one to get landed. I'm only getting Q2 fish because my line is shitty, but I'm more concerned about the quantity

>>16029085

With road paths, people rarely travel by boat anyways. They're nerfing that in the next world though. New world will have oceans too, that can't be traversed by rowboat. We'll probably have to start by having one person make wilderness beacons or something.

>>16029123

Isn't there a trireme thing too?

I'm glad for oceans, the map just looked like a huge cluster of forests and big lakes

I played with you guys for like a day or two when the 3d servers opened, I just couldnt get into the game so I quit pretty quickly. It feels a lot more fleshed out now though, you should give it another shot.

Ive made six more SLAVE♂ keys for our /v/illagers to use since we have had quite the influx

I also have a wilderness beacon for any freshlings looking to join, simply post to request the light.

Why must such a terrible swedegame have such a hold over me?

I think I tried playing this game (when it was still in 2d) with some of you autists a few years ago, maybe briefly after the latecomer gamergate exodus thing. I didn't stick around very long and don't remember how to play.

Is there anyone online that could light the beacon or however it works now so I could join?

>>16030387

>Is there anyone online that could light the beacon or however it works now so I could join?

I have no idea how to do it but I'll look it up

How many players were we at peak and minimim during the heyday of they game? How long did it last?

>>16030927

Heyday, around a thousand players at peak, and three hundred during the slowest times. That was some three to five years ago, though.

They apparently forgot the same lesson as Blizzard. The game was mostly popular with the crowd the devs were interested in because the game wasn't incredibly resource-heavy. A toaster could handle an isometric, 2D game like Old Haven, even in Java. Then they made Salem and got stupid ideas from working with larger groups of people, coming back to implement 3D because they thought that what really got them all that attention was the game mechanics instead of the emergent gameplay.

Why are people playing already just to start over in a week?

>>16031111

To learn how to play, or get reacquainted with the game so they have a clearer idea what the want to do when the new world starts. Just practice, mostly. Besides, even in a new world, everyone is just going to have to restart everything again after a week when Russians demolish everything for fun.

>>16031111

Learning the game in a dead world instead of trying to learn it while a russain dabs on my corpse while chanting "XAXAXA".

I will be playing in a group of 2-11 players, but not in the 8ch group.

If we see each other in game, we will be friendly to /v/. Never hurts to ask who you are upon meeting

I'm glad I started this up two weeks in advance, looks like were really building up steam for new world chaos. If you need a beacon, i'm around, let me know.

Alright help me out with quality here.

>While using Land Surveys, wooden shovels dig a base value of 2 units of soil, modified by quality.

I had a shovel of q6, which moved 2u of dirt per action. Then I did some stuff and ended up with a q10 shovel which still had 2u moved. I need more and more quality.

So I found a carcass and made a q29 bonesaw (q68 bone, q10? wood). I am not sure why the wood was so poor quality; is it because trees are capped at 10, but will go lower if your stats/skills are poor? It seems that having high quality basic tools basically enables you to produce better end products all through the crafting chain

Also is there a way to make the sound stop cutting out halfway through each action?

>>16031900

Oh, on second look, it seems that the audio shitting itself is because my quad processor is hitting 55-70% for some reason. Does this not take advantage of the GPU?

>>16032060

I've been thinking about the chugging too, wonder if it has to do with the age of the world and the amount of crap laying around.

>>16031796

wiki in OP should have the formulas for everything

>>16032192

I did glance over that but I couldn't find information on shit like wood. I'll go more autism with it later I guess.

How do I unlock fruitroasts? It says I only need Survival skill, but I think I still need to find mulberry leafs for them

>>16032249

generally whatever ingredients something might have listed will be what you need to discover, for instance you need to discover metal for things like a cellar or the larger housing

>>16032249

Ah yes that was it

>>16031796

>I had a shovel of q6, which moved 2u of dirt per action. Then I did some stuff and ended up with a q10 shovel which still had 2u moved. I need more and more quality.

q10 = 1x

q40 = 2x

q90? = 3x

>So I found a carcass and made a q29 bonesaw (q68 bone, q10? wood).

Some attributes start at 10 (carpentry?) out of pity and cap quality that way, others start at actually 1 (survival)

>>16032535

It's a quality-of-life improvement from the original goonclient, back in World 7. The bear roar triggers when a bear is within your minimap square, as a warning to players who may not be paying attention. Suffice to say that it was added because some people are chronic masturbators that rely too heavily on bots to play games like these.

>>16033177

I like it.

>>16033177

As an aside, glimmermoss has basically been a good curiosity since curiosities were introduced. They're more plentiful most, don't take as long as some of the heavier payouts, and most importantly aren't bugged like the Golden Egg used to be, which was used to destroy quite a few villages in the past. Seriously, negative LP gains used to affect village authority, which was based entirely upon the LP gains of the village members. This led to moles infiltrating villages we didn't like, then consuming Golden Egg curiosities and taking a huge negative LP total, which in turn gave a monumental authority hit to the village. It doesn't sound like much, but things like this were the minor information differences upon which many were destroyed.

But I digress.

>>16032125

Almost everything will decay overtime, but crops and Hearthfires (at least currently) do not.

They will unfortunately take a long, completely random time to refill as it based on decay ticks.

>>16034547

You download their java script thing, and then run it and it downloads the game proper.

Yeah, but how do I run it? it's in some weird format I can't run

>>16034575

Install Java. It'll set up the file association for you.

Goddamn, wetlands are comfy. Found a salt resource, respawning screens of cattails, it's great

Alright readers and lurkers, if you have any piece of prepared (dry) hide you can use it to make a parchment and then grab an item to transform the parchment into a lesson about that item as if the future reader had learned about it naturally. This means once we get enough leather for a wall during the next world we can create a grand library of various things to get newfags up to speed on anything in moments.

Things we definitely need to make parchment of for newfags:

Any string material

Any Prepared hide+leather

Any Hard metal ingot+metal nuggets

Anything rare and of value (making the parchment doesn't use up the item in question)

>>16035981

>Not having a million waystones around the world to act like sleeper agents

So I remember doing alot of ranged combat last time I played this because melee+latency in any game is fucking cancer. I read that they changed the way hunting works to the point that ranged hunting is now basically pointless because it reduces the QL of the kill to nothing. Is that still the case at this point? Will I have to hunt everything with a sword to get a proper kill as a fucking hunter or have they since reverted that so that you can hunt things as an archer without shredding your kill into confetti?

>>16036183

I don't like the way they have you charge your bow. I have yet to kill anything larger than a squirrel. A fox fucked me up , so I'm taking a break.

>>16036217

charge speed was based on skill, it becomes rather fast when you're a high tier archer. The problem is wether or not it's worth the investment anymore. It used to be a slower, but safer way to hunt. From what i've read it's now completely pointless to use ranged attacks because it absolutely tanks the QL of the kill, meaning there's no justification in the time and effort involved in raising a high level archer outside of pvp purposes. Whereas building a melee combatant still gives you all the perks during non-pvp usage.

>>16036250

And what does UC even offer to combat? The wiki says it affects "weights" but doesn't elaborate

>>16036659

I think you don't damage the critter you are fighting. I mean quality wise.

>>16036683

Yeah but I mean in terms of skilling up

>>16036659

Attack Weight means it will make more opening to the target, allowing you to actually do damage. Actual damage dealt is mostly determined by Strength and in case of Melee, weapon. Even when you have access to sword it is optimal to use UA attacks to get the opening and then use Melee attack. This doesn't require much Melee Combat skill so most people stack UA only.

>>16036840

It will also make your defenses restore openings on you more. Everything combat related works by comparing your stat with the opponent, that's what the triangle (delta) symbol is about in some move/maneuver descriptions. Your cooldown is based on the delta of your and your opponent's Agility. This makes Agility arguably the most important combat stat.

>>16035513

DO NOT go into the swamp with crab wounds, they will infect like fuck.

>>16036860

Oh yeah, this got me by surprise once. I didn't realize that was a thing, and ended up with three fucking infections. I'm down to my last one, but it's still at +8.

We should make a newfag friendly infographic so we can ease as many players in as possible when the new world drops

>>16037073

Let me be the first asshole to say "You first."

It doesn't have to be good. God forbid that it actually is, because then it'll never spark the interest of talented people. But throw something out there, with the bullshit you've learned from your first week of play, and slap it on the table. The crucible in which great shit is found is formed from first attempts.

Please be that first attempt.

>>16037073

>>16037115

There used to be fanmade reference sheets for UI. These days there's bit less need for one since almost everything has been made more intuitive but newbie friendly infographic wouldn't be a bad idea.

Tutorial quest chain handles character creation pretty well (before implemented some people had no idea they had to burn in the fire and even worse, you could only enter fire from certain angle)

Stuff that probably should be covered

>pick samples of tree seeds to get discovery LP

>increase Survival to not hardcap everything you pick up

>Find swamp to catch Dragonflies

>Find shallows where to catch Watersriders

>Find place to camp that is relatively close to both above things

>>16037565

Game is relatively poorly optimized. Maybe just try if it works on your computer, remember to download and install java (64-bit if you have 64-bit OS.)

>>16037565

>Good computer

Something from 2007 with a video card.

>>16037580

If it has 1-2GB or RAM to spare for client and GPU that supports OpenGL 2.0, it might just work.

You may be mistaken with the Legacy version that was quite toaster-friendly with it's isometric graphics.

combat will always be shit because neither jorb nor loftar ever attempts any serious combat, especially not PVP

>>16025716

With the farming skill you can either build a plow or do Adventure>Landscaping>Hand Plow, and then pave the plowed land

Note that grasslands (which have less trees and allow you to 'sprint') do not need to be plowed and can be paved directly

>>16025874

If you find any less than 10 non-Russians in a settlement they're probably at least vaguely friendly, however the big factions and any Russians are probably gonna fuck you up if they can do so easily or have a good reason

>>16029103

That's certainly enough of a risk for me and I have a bwall

>>16029682

but actual hills and mountains are verynice

I had an old fort near the old water place for Aurora, so there's some supplies and some mid tier kilns and ovens for the using. I'll be back later with the location later

What should I be spending my early LP on? So far I've got +1 exploration, +1 survival, FIshing, Foraging, Lumberjacking, Will to Power and Hearth magic.

>>16039431

the general rule is that you are going to want go survival/fishing at first as survival is how you get better beginner tools and determines the quality of the fish you get, after 10 - 15 survival you want to go heavy on explorer to around 40 especially when the new world happens

please clap

Clap gang

>>16039480

Is there a way to tell if something is hard or soft capped?

>>16039622

not easily no, without having much more stats than necessary you have no real way of knowing the exact quality of things unless you know all the values involved and calculate it yourself

>>16041053

Affirmative

>>16040989

It's a lower chance to get ingots/bars/nuggets

>>16041138

that is even if someone else has dug up the ore correct?

>>16041142

Chance is determined when the ore is created.

Is there any advantage to creating furniture like ovens and stuff inside a building, rather than outside?

>>16041192

They don't decay indoors.

>>16041200

I see, so you only have to stake a claim on a much smaller area, and have much smaller upkeep, if any. That makes sense. So you could potentially build a few houses/buildings with different functions and claim them all personally if you had to?

If my claim covers half my house, does it still decay? I assume they could attack the half that isn't claimed without leaving a crime scent

Drowning is one of the easiest ways to delete character but you don't have to do it to create a new character, you can have multiple characters on same account.

why the fuck are bee stings so ridiculous? they happen all the time when grabbing wax and never go away. it's 2 days later and my 10 wound bee sting has gone down by 1. I managed to get kelp cream but it has done jack shit. Gauze worked faster on fell slash than this and my infected wounds from stepping into a swamp for 2 seconds are going down faster as well

>>16041447

IIRC they were even worse when first implemented, Jorb can be sadistic at times. People pretty much just use alts to gather wax, especially since AFAIK gathering stuff from beehives isn't capped by anything.

>>16038470

okay

I get micro stutters evey 2-3 seconds, even the sound stutters. Anyone else had to deal with this and is there a fix ? I'm using the last version of java with the last version of the amber client.

>>16041863

Are you on Windows or Linux? Although Linux should only have cursor lag (that is fixable by using system cursor or forcing 1-bit cursor, don't know how to do that though.)

>>16041865>>16041865

Windows 7

>>16041871

Did quick search on the forums, try typing : with no chat or other window active (should activate console) and follow it with "audiobuf 2048" (should show up as :audiobuff 2048 before you press enter.)

>>16041192

You can't make ovens inside buildings but I get what you're saying.

You can lock doors and it's harder to get sniped, if someone with a bow can still fire at you behind a palisade/brickwall.

>>16042138

Claimed ovens won't decay outdoors. One option is to build them in cave. There's no decay in caves, but this may change.

>>16041880

It worked to an extent, not silky smooth but playable at least.

Now second question, long time ago when testing the game i found a horse with comet metal tools and ore. Is it worth bringing back to wherever you are ? If yes where do i go.

>>16042162

>Is it worth bringing back to wherever you are ?

Yes.

>If yes where do i go.

If this still works. You warp to your HF, bash it then get a village invite from hs "SSSS.THIGHMAN"

So I'm trying to make a new alt or two to "speedrun" the start, so I have the most efficient start as I can.

Right now my list includes finding birch for a kuksa, building an axe asap, and researching foraging and lumberjacking. What else is considered essential?

>>16042650

>too weak to do any damage

Character name is Soon send an invite whenever

>>16042162

You can try using an even bigger number, but too big number may cause other issues.

>>16042716

Make sure you get maximum amount of Discovery LP. Picking tee and bush seeds is essential, fishing will refund LP spent on it almost immediately if you can find bait (preferably entrails from chickens.) I'm planning to "cheat" by spawning alts to divide the LP requirements. A fighter to go all UA to farm bats for hide/bones and future farmer to rush yeomanry (if you don't spend LP on anything else, initial discovery LP should be enough for it.)

>>16042650

No traveling to Village Idols since beginning of World 8.

>>16042719

>too weak

You need (Soak+1-tool)^2 STR

If you're using a stone axe, you need 25 str or 16 with a pickaxe, that said you have to be riding the horse to warp with it.

Post HS or add the one I sent you.

>>16042731

At most I'll have two characters, though I guess it's easy enough to make your own WB and make an alt spawn near it.

Even on my main, I didn't like fishing because of how slow it was, but I suppose the fish variety was good enough to warrant it. I always feel myself leaning towards woodworking stuff.

>>16042731

>No traveling to Village Idols since beginning of World 8.

>>16042752

Currently there are Charter Stones with similar function, but you don't get free jumps by deleting your hearth and it can require humongous amounts of Charisma to use it (Charisma isn't dump stat slash only useful for Bonfire alts anymore)

>>16042757

Not to mention, there are number skill and QOL reworks happening next week, too, so who knows

>>16042763

I don't know about that, but they promised long-needed food rework at least.

>>16042773

Oh shit, what's wrong with the food system right now?

>>16042783

If you're a new player or lack infrastructure, you can ruin your character's ability to level up with food for a long time, while advanced players can essentially ignore this mechanic by spamming drinks.

>>16042783

Also Good Tables are quite OP, symbel bonuses are going to be changed to reduce the effect your highest Attribute has on increasing the required FEP to level.

Sorry for triple posting, but I also need to ask how many cores this anon's processor has. It might help devs to debug this problem.

Anyone ever build the log cabin, or is it better to just go straight to the timber house? They both need the same materials, and the house doesn't need much more

>>16043016

Timber House is probably better as long as you have the space for it.

Jesus, I hope they decide to use the average of all your attributes, like many people have been proposing for the longest time. It's been such a pain in the dick to raise FEPs evenly.

I think you'll find that the only way to avoid getting raided is to wander around while your hearthfire is locked in someone else's fortified home. A shared key-bearer alt would be the best way to ensure that you're not trapped in the house if you happen to need to travel to your hearthfire. Your possessions should be few and should serve their purposes as the need arises. The ability to gather materials for an established village will be your best bargaining chip for whatever you happen to need that you cannot make while wandering around.

You'd be amazed at how many villages are willing to trade metal goods for multiple baskets full of blueberries. In 2D Haven, it was how I managed to score a quality 50 set of spectacles, which improved my Perception enough to find even more blueberries for the next village I sought to trade with.

The vagrant's life isn't much, but it's hard to pin down and murder that which is always wandering.

is there any sort of logic to what the quest rewards will be? I had a quest which took me to basically the other side of the world and it gave me 1812 learning points for three hours of travel but I have had another quest that was a lot less travel but gave me almost ten times that amount of LP

This probably isn't the best solution but it's better than what we have now. The bigger problem is really that attributes and skills can only increase without cap. There should be some kind of aging that starts penalizing your Hearthling later in life and eventually kills them.

what am i supposed to do if some asshole put a claim over a quest tree

>>16044272

you can trespass even with no criminal skills and should be able to interact with it anyway

no they’re completely random rewards afaik

So what are the different types of decay? Like I see I need to repair my house daily, but that's apparently because I didn't pave the ground under it? None of my other immobile toolstations (eg fireplace, spinner wheels) in unclaimed areas need attention. My kilns seem fine - they're on pavement, but unclaimed

Everything that can decay takes small amounts of damage every week or something. Cupboards get destroyed because they are made out of paper while houses last a noticeably longer time. It takes a couple of months for structures to be destroyed. Think walls have some domino effect where a segment being destroyed causes neighboring pieces to take damage.
