The lag on the Australia server is causing some problems, so I set up another in Dallas. I'll put a password on it later and list it on PGS: Server Name: {DALLAS} Dogpit Does Dallas

Glad someone made a thread for this finally. I was thinking of doing something (despite not owning the game) but since I made the initial threads for both Xsyon and Dawntide I was worried I might be a jinx. I'm definitely interested in seeing where this goes.Xibanya posted:Terraforming Xibanya posted:Construction Also, I thought LiF had modular houses? Or is that just something still in the planning stages?

Me and another goon have established ourselves in a US 64 player server (KC Banana-something something, can't remember the exact name but it has KC and Banana in the name, pretty easy to discern) and have already slayed two pubby bandits and claimed an abandoned building cluster that can accommodate 7 or so people. I have the ability to outfit everyone with chainmail and pitchforks right from the get-go as long as you have 30 warhorse handling (make sure to spec this at the beginning, there is no way to get this skill yet ingame but is required for chain) Tomorrow we are planning on putting up palisades, making a gate, and getting started on leather for proper weapons and armor, but if anyone wants to join feel free. There are even lots of roleplaying publords to mess with and plenty of violent action. As soon as the palisade is up we can focus more on the production side and less on the defensive side. (our names are Friar Cuck and Celebrity Chef Doobie if you get in, the land of Goondor is the most GBS of kingdoms) Justin Tyme fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Oct 8, 2014 |

So far I've enjoyed what they've got going on. I really feel like this is what Wurm was supposed to be, I wish Rolf could have pulled it off but I just can't see a Java based game that is also so tedious getting any better. If anyone wants to play with some fellow goons let me know, Justin Tyme and I have a decent little settlement going up on the KC Banana Stand server.

Dedicated goon server thread here. With password. Also I was looking at my local LiF folders to reset my configs due to an audio bug and it appears this game is moddable -- I then checked the official FAQ and the devs say they encourage it as long as you don't try to sell it. I'm seeing huge potential for improvement just on player side here - for example, right now there's no texture for a paved road. Would be great to mod in the texture from Wurm. I'll try dicking around with it a bit and see what I can do. At last, a potentially interesting use of my database skills outside of work!

Paved road does have a texture. It's grass with large slabs of stone for that medieval feel. I tried out to pave earlier today. When digging for clay I spotted a moose. Of course I began walking towards it, axe in hand and when the cowardly thing ran away (instead of kicking, trampling or goring me to death) I gave chase. Unfortunately the bastard ran right past a wolf who chewed on my stomach so I stopped to hack away at it. Good god the combat system is awful. It almost felt like Morrowind all over again. Anyway it turns out wolves will attempt to flee after taking enough damage and I chased the bastard around three quarters of the lake before I managed to hit it enough to kill it. Apparently you are perfectly fine until the last hit point. Then I couldn't do poo poo with the carcass. Welp. Do you need hunting at 60 or something to rip off their skin and innards?

There's no skill requirement for skinning a carcass, but you need a knife. You can make a primitive knife with flint/stone/sticks. Also it looks like there's a wound system for players where taking damage can cause bleeding or reduce stats for an extended period of time, but I guess it doesn't apply to mobs. I've also discovered that your character will pass out at 0 hitpoints, but will eventually recover after a minute or two if nothing keeps attacking.

I wish there was a way to invert combat controls, right now it's M&B but completely backwards. Also it'd be nice if you could wind up for an attack relatively quickly (like M&B) but attack speed was still as it is now. It feels less like you are in precise control at the moment and more like you have control over flailing wildly. I'm about a quarter of the way to being able to throw up palisades, once I am there our fort shall begin. Still looking for more people if anyone wants to play on a pvp-encouraged publord server Justin Tyme fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Oct 9, 2014 |

You can invert. Supposedly, palisades are worthless right now due to a bug in the game and you can get over them easily.

The KC Banana Stand server we are on is light RP but PVP encouraged. In fact I think the admins are straight up trying to stir strife by roleplaying tax collectors/causing rebellion. Not like we care in our hermit town anyway. Does anyone know if you can carry fully-loaded carts? I know you can't actually pull them yet, but if you can carry them, theoretically you can still use them by being the dumbest dark age idiot incredible-hulk barbarian ever by carrying the cart on your back instead of pulling it. It would be useful for moving bulk building logs and ore at least. Can ore/dirt even be loaded into carts? If so, what's the cart's weight capacity?

TheresaJayne posted:You get banned for killing other players or stealing their stuff (and getting caught) That is incredibly stupid. Wolves are the only thing that can hurt you, besides other players. You could jump from 100 feet up and land on rocks, or stay underwater in the ocean for an hour and you won't die. For wolves, you just kite them to the water and hit them because they won't go in. Then, everyone is going to be cooperatively building their own bases, which is going to lag the server and cause extreme lag.

The tiles also seem to turn black whenever you plant crops, they must not have it textured right yet or maybe it's just missing texture. I know I have to turn my graphics all the way down so I don't lag, even though my computer isn't poo poo.

Join Ye Olde Detroit also if you have the time, we've got lots of folks and a nice little goon village. I'm planning to post a bit on the official forums to see if we can snare some more pubbies. I think our goon village has at least 6 people active.

TheresaJayne posted:and you cant wiki it as everyone gets something different from different herbs That' actually a good thing. If you have enough people in your group then almost every herb you gather can be converted into flux. If not by you, then by someone. I think we're suffering from the fact that the developers are designing game mechanics for the MMO for groups of tens of people but we're all playing in groups of 4 or 5 on the alpha test version.

I have a simple question: Will the movement/combat/crafting in this game make me want to kill myself like Wurm did? Also is this anything more than progress bars: the game? A lot of the Sandbox games I've played fall into the category. Apparently it's super hard for someone to just remake Wurm with a basic fluid 3rd person movement system.

Extra posted:I have a simple question: The movement is better than Wurm - you can switch to a 3rd person camera, you can jump over obstacles, your stamina regenerates faster, and you can fall several feet without taking damage. There's no vehicles though, and mounts are not yet implemented. I haven't tried much of the combat but it uses actual physics and collision detection instead of the text-based staring matches of Wurm. There's also a mechanic for combat between organized ranks of units, but I haven't tried it out yet. The crafting interface in this game feels clunky and unfinished (especially for herbalism and smelting), but it handles multi-step crafting with large amounts of required materials better. Crafting items like mortar will generate like 5 mortar at a time instead of 1 at a time like in Wurm. It also looks like crafting tasks don't have a chance of failure, although material gathering tasks do. Robo Reagan posted:Sorry to hijack the thread, but anyone still playing Wurm?

I'm starting to thing that too, once the initial "wow, it's Wurm but actually presentable with M&B combat" factor wears off you really start to see the glaringly negative aspects Hopefully they fix the poo poo performance and allow for permanent groups/building access organization so multiple people can operate gates and doors because right now it's such a slog. You are literally better off burying your valuable in the woods than you are building even the biggest of walls.

I constructed a wheelbarrow. It... sort of... works? Kinda. You can open it and store 60 units in it as well as picking it up and slowly carrying it around on your back like a log. But I did finally get my masonry up to 80 and started shoveling an area for a sawmill. Terraforming is surprisingly not as boring as you'd think. As long as the terrain you need to lower doesn't reach well above your head of course.

I was told i was recorded for combat logging and would be banned from a server. This is alos for apparently swimming around for 15 when other guys enter the water and told me I had to go to the beach so they could kill me. The amount of times I was called a pussy or human being while asking them questions about thier personal life and if they were happy was by far one of the most entertaining parts of the game i've had so far. I literally was only playing for ten minutes.

Also my private server hasn't attracted any pubbies yet, so it's time to either come up with a better name/gimmick or just invade other servers. It looks like most of the LiF playerbase are hardcore PvP roleplaying nerds so I guess we need a name that would appeal to that kind of demographic.
