We should throw another stupid forum chat game party in celebration of being top ten the next time he's online.

Another 2-3 years at the current rate, which considering the game is about 8 years old is pretty good

Leaderboard points is one of the reasons I want us to do a newbie drive. If we pick up some fresh blood, especially now that our stockpiles are more mature, we can speed up our progression.

Aside from a brief addiction to the Shark game, idle games don't do much for me. However I've grown to hate the pubbie community of this one with a passion and contributing in even the tiniest way to making them angry is well worth keeping another tab open and occasionally clicking a mushroom.

This looks interesting. Can I get an invite at TLuvFromUpAbove ?


Got the invite, thanks!

One suggestion, put whatever the current guild name is in he OP. I saw a person in world chat when I joined but I wasn't sure it was goons because I didn't know the name had changed to #10.

Got some details on the upcoming extensions overhaul:

  • One "extension" per type, accessible anywhere on the island where that type is exclusive to (Grumpy's undecided on what to do with Orchards, Distilleries, and Smokehouses)
  • All your current extensions of a type will have their experience pooled, in general it seems you will have fewer slots overall than before.
  • More starting slots, more slots per level (Grumpy teased 50 + 15 for herb gardens), probably much more XP needed per level (or a smaller multiplier)
  • Permissions will be strictly on/off, individual level only (no guild / bulk add permissions). But at most 14 things to add players to (one per extension type) - more likely 4-6 is what most people will have to deal with (herb, veggie, still, orchard)
  • Permissions interface will make it easier to bulk-add though.

Possible lame exploit.

If I have zero mana, drink a bottle of lightning, then start to clear an extension, I magically have 3 mana. I can then go back to town and start making white runes immediately.

Are you sure that extra mana isn't coming from the every-five-minute ticks?

Finally got a chance to test out the bonus effect from gilded tools (private beta only). It's nice.



Also here's a couple more of the new features:



Top left: New one-click travel system. Select any town and you'll automatically travel along all the actions required.
Middle: Action menu now shows how many actions you can do and what materials they take. Should reduce manual lookups a little bit. Also when you're doing the action you get a little mini-menu in the upper right of the action area that shows how many actions you have left.

-------------------

Guild news:
-August project will be tools. Going to calculate out worst-case scenarios of break rates/XP and get our stocks up to having enough to get 100 people to max level in each skill.
-Also during August we're going to stock up on apples and pumpkins (can't really wait around for the extensions update any more at this point) and have a recruitment drive for the harvest events.
-September/October is mostly going to be all about the apples, pumpkins, ciders, and ales. November I was thinking we get RD% stuff up in anticipation of the Christmas event.

Gave the OP a much-needed overhaul in preparation for our fall newbie drive. Tried to keep it short this time. If anyone can take a cleanish screenshot of the "back to town" screen in AB for inclusion, that would help because I'm in the private beta and a lot of things got moved around so it wouldn't be helpful for new players.

e: Also I'd like to get a title change but don't have any good ideas right now.
