I will make the offsite for normal people.

What is the state of non GS guilds on azanreb?

I cant be in GS because I keep getting banned on AAgoons despite not having played the game since the last time I was unbanned.

My Auroria thunderstruck tree venture was a success. The small seed money of 250g let me harvest 4 trees, 3 for myself, 1 to the donor.

Its sounds stupid and nigh unprovable, but could there be a cap on thunderstrucks per day? The rate was much better than when the massive illegal farms were in full swing.

Now that im flush with gold again, i think i want to play this terrible and fun game again

gently caress my life

I've planted 300 cherry trees, my friends have planted 150 apiece, I've planted 300 cedars, and 300 pines

0 thunderstrucks

I was there for every single phase

i think the game actively discriminates against long term users and gives the benefits to new players so they stick around. You know, like Tinder. I dont actually believe this, that would be retarded and more coding work than they are capable of

People say that it can happen at any growth phase, I have only ever had it happen on the last one right before mature. 25 or so thunderstrucks is not a reliable sample size but its something.

Then the current leadership needs to put their foot down and make that clear, because it's still hard to log in at peak times without a ton of people in guild chat shouting "IMP ZONE" and "oh god stop stirring poo poo up by mentioning SCT!" A few people like Kimsemus are willing to say "If you stick up for SCT you are dumb," but somewhere there's power being lost to actually do anything about it, especially with Dodgy being gone and openly working with SCT behind the scenes anyway.



Keep trying, friend. I had my one TS from a Pine, if that makes any difference. I know people are all about cedars nowadays, but I'm a traditionalist like that. Hoping for another so I can finally buy a thatched plot. :shobon:

Yeah I planted more trees at once than he did ever. Dont waste your farms on trees, get something that fruits or lays eggs. Do your trees illegally. I can show you some sick nasty spots that are usable on weekdays.

Yeah I know, I'm just bound by labor requirements because its illegal farming. If you do want to show me some spots that would be great. Name is Eonwe in game.

Labor shouldnt really be an issue because you arent supposed to chop the trees down. The farm should be big enough that even if someone finds it and starts chopping they wont be able to chop it all. Them "stealing" your trees is doing you a favor by clearing the land for more trees. As long as you are logging in often enough to get the thunderstrucks, who cares.

Secret to big dick illegal farming:

Go to the zone border of an unreleased zone.
Climb something tall nearby
Fly to the border, drop the glider and use drop back across it.
You should have bypassed the dangerous creature error message.
Run a long way past the draw distance so other people cant see your farm
Plant 1000000 cherry trees

The error message occurs in a narrow band between zones and triggers based on time spent in the error zone. Passing through it very quickly wont trip it. Its about 4 drop backs wide.

of course they do, thats why you do it on a throwaway account that you log out at the farm. Use the disposable mailboxes and never stay logged in unless you are actively farming.

Well fair enough but for both plate and cloth there are combinations so simply don't want. Since they moved healing to Spirit anything with int is one of them. Won't do poo poo for you except it's cheap and gives you a little extra mana but there are only like two or three viable combinations that use int plate like the Skull Knight and barely anybody plays those. Honestly I'd still play a Templar if the items had the stats for it but besides random drops spirit plate just isn't a thing.

One of my thunderstrucks this week came at the very first growth point, less than a couple hours after planting the Cedar. I planted it, hosed off for a while, then came back to my land and it was thunderstruck.

i know other people have had that happen too. My main point is that I dont think its exactly random.

My theory was that it's a proc chance that occurs at a growth phase change. I got shouted down when I first suggested it, but maybe this is additional evidence?

Just based on my small sample size, this is my own unproven harebrained theory.

There is a daily limit to amount of thunderstrucks per day. The evidence for this is that there was no major drop in the amount f thunderstrucks being found after the huge hacker farms got shut down. They only seem more common now that they arent all being grown by hackers. The hackers planted more trees than all the legal farms combined so of course they would have gotten most of the trees and choked off the supply for everyone else

Thunderstruck can occur at any time, with highest chances at later growth stages and during growth changes. Evidence is that all 25 of my trees have happened right before mature or instead of the tree turning mature right on the timer. I have heard of lower stages getting thunderstruck, but never as low as sapling. The longest growth trees have the best chance, but only because they get to roll the dice more. If you did nothing but plant hornbeams 24/7 you would probably get the same amount

because its close to a 24hr growth time and its very easy to remember to harvest a tree at the same time tomorrow.

The track record has shown them to be willfully corrupt and incompetent to the core. Anyone who was trying to do it right was not in any real position of power if they could still be kicked.

You know the racist thing I understand but people seem to get awfully butthurt over other people cheating. Personally I liked the bots and cheaters in this game mostly they bought the poo poo I sold and sold the poo poo I bought, kept APEX and labor potions down.

Its about devaluing their hard work. It pains people to feel like their effort towards being good at something can be trumped by someone not even trying. A real pro gamerz wants to win by the largest margin and will use every advantage they can get away with.
"Wow this guy easily made 1000g in one hour that it took me a month of daily playing to make, gently caress that dude."
Its a perfectly reasonable but futile reaction.

The most fun I ever had was hacking in BF3 because the hacks were out of control and it became a hacking arms race as the different cheat packages escalated the absurdity. It ended with a tool that just kicked people you killed.
