Welcome to Ye Olde Detroit, the Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune for Goons in the new Life is Feudal MMO. Now with more ditches! The best description I’ve seen for this game is Wurm Online, combined with the combat mechanics of Mount & Blade: Warband. There are a lot of grindy, potentially brain-numbing activities that have been made bearable by 1) Goons figuring out how to effectively min-max all the things 2) The developers embracing simple macros that our talented scripters have churned out and made available to us common folk. The game has surprisingly nice graphics, here’s the north gate out of Detroit into our entirely man-made Great Forest The aptly named Autism Island, one man’s private getaway on a man-made island: Dishonorable pvp (the only kind of pvp) Goons nearly dying to otherwise harmless wildlife All in all it’s a pretty game with a lot of gameplay potential. Why get in now?

So you’ve decided to be a bloody peasant:
Things I wish every new member knew: We are sincerely glad you have decided to play this game with us and we look forward to seeing you here. However, Goons being goons, we’re also going to fly off the handle and bitch to high heaven if you do the Blindingly Obvious Things Nobody Bothered to Tell You to Avoid Doing. So we’re going to go ahead and list them here. You may not know what these things are right now but you’ll know to keep an eye out for them when you get here.

The men and women of Ye Olde Detroit hope to see you soon terrorizing the lands of our enemies, working the fields, and digging the mines, Glory to Goondor! andromache fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jan 28, 2018 |

Easily the best world-shaping MMO, dig until your palms are raw ingame and irl.

Playing charlie in the trees and killing guys with good armor and weapons while 4 of us are wearing nothing but shoes, hats, and crossbows and then getting out with the loot while 4 people are shooting at me is hilarious and stupid and some of the most fun I've had in a game in ages.

to be fair, the mans killing portion of this game is fun when you arent fighting exploiters. the minecrafting stuff can be fun. the devs make bad calls like when they split the already niche community from two servers to three and seven as of today

think about this though: everything will be fine even if i agree with you regarding them adding a third server type lmbo

If killing nerds isn't your style then you can minecraft. This game is super rewarding on the building aspects.

Eh, minecraft can be fun if you are in the right frame of mind. Once I get my character set up (this weekend) I plan to grind up herbalist skills. Question for Goondor management: Since I plan to spend most of my time in the woods grabbing every herb I can, would it be okay for me to get a house built in the woods? Also, is there a trick to picking a name? I spent 10 min trying name my dude. Kept getting an error message. I'm guessing that since the game is still in beta, I may have hit a glitch. Gave up and will try again on Sat.

Once I get my character set up (this weekend) I plan to grind up herbalist skills. you can herb safely in walls, herbalism is looking at the ground clicking gather herbs then gathering the herbs that appear. It's very easy to help out with the more minecraft aspects as thing shovelling iron into a cart then hauling it back helps a lot but only takes about 20 minutes.

Well then... hunting herbs within the walls sounds safer. Still think it would be more fun to forage in the woods, but definitely like the safety of walls.

Having a font issue. The print is way the hell too small. I messed with the video settings in the game and on my PC (4k high rez). Any ideas on how to fix?

heard some complaints about cash shop pay to win gibs. Any truth to that? This looks like a fun game otherwise.

of all the things actually wrong with the game, p2w is not one of them. you need premium (1 free month incl with 30 dollar pack, 20/mo after) to use the power hour system which doubles skill gain on your character while its active. the good news is, there is skill caps so once your character reaches it, you dont really need premium ever again. all the alignment bonuses and and skill loss avoidment that you get with prem can be done w/o it e: if i had focused and spent every powerhour when it came up after each 22h, i would have easily maxed my skill caps in roughly 3 weeks Blazing Zero fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 13, 2018 |

deathflea posted:heard some complaints about cash shop pay to win gibs. Any truth to that? This looks like a fun game otherwise. There's a sub that gives you "power hour" which doubles your skill gain for an hour every 22 hours and death insurance. Death insurance offsets your skill loss slightly. There's no actual pay to win aspects that affect anything beyond the first week of the game because skill gain becomes quite easy once you have good food.

It's 5:30 AM, I haven't played an MMO in months, and this is time and money I could spend with my girlfriend or doing something productive. I'm gonna use it griefing pubbies.

Goon engineers at work: expensive house too tall to be protected by walls, and vulnerable to trebuchets? Cover it in protective bullshit while we build a bigger wall!

This game is Wurm with excellent graphics and Mount and Blade combat. If you liked Wurm or M&B, you will absolutely love this.

Looking in to potentially picking this up (because I'm a sucker for mount and blade style games), if you follow the guide in the OP about 55 points in slinger to use a Crossbow (?!), and you only get 400 total to spend on combat stuff, how hosed are you if you want to do anything other than just crossbow people forever?

Combat skills and Crafting skills share separate skill point caps, so it's a matter of what types of combat you want to do, not crafting or combat. edit: lol InstantInfidel fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jan 14, 2018 |

Okay, I'm in and running over. I can't actually see the minimap thing because it's still showing me an image of the newbie island instead, but I'm on server 11 and running east, so i should get there eventually.

Also, we use discord for text messages and alerts/announcements, but Mumble for voice, so don't think nobody is on or people are ignoring you if noone is in Discord voice

https://clips.twitch.tv/HeartlessAmazonianStorkNotLikeThis https://clips.twitch.tv/ScrumptiousFurryUdonBudStar https://clips.twitch.tv/PerfectMildLyrebirdPrimeMe Some cool clips from judgement hour today. We dumpstered the crybabies that have been ~elite pvp~ on us for a few weeks after werkwerk hosed their landbridge. Then went around and got destroyed tradeposts, stole a few horses and killed some dudes.
