Yes though the stabbings may have to come later. Apparently word got out goons play this game and there is a big group of RPer slavers from Darkfall who brought over all their goonhate so we need to make friends in the area to be able to muster enough troops to ward them off. That means no random sealclubbing unfortunately, we aren't strong enough to be belligerant unless we want to become the poopsockers we hate. We are behind them right now, but we are far, far away from each other so there isn't too big a risk yet.

There are always random unaffiliated travelers that like to murder people though who you can slay with impunity.

Sounds like a job for a certain crew of Rust goons who everyone hates but are good at killing mans :toot:

Does this game have like, MMO classes like stealthy assassins or something? Is assassinating people in the wilderness/open fun/fruitful? How easy is it to pick your engagements or escape from people jumping you?

You have a finite number of skillpoints/hours in your life, so specialization is rewarded.

Incorrect. Everything has a server side check and stops us.

Except for making items INSANELY huge or setting your camera SUPER far in the air. Both of which don't really destroy the game like speed hacking, etc.

We're going to report those.

Pretty much this. Keeping all the game .dlls in their current format might be an issue later on, but there are server sanity checks on pretty much everything except comical proportion abuse.

This game is basically a better version of AoC and Salem. Consider the fact that you can script stuff and take the tedium out of the way. Also consider many of the goons playing now are the ones going uphill in the snow. Likely a week from now everyone who starts will just get free poo poo and be told to kill people or "do whatever". Also consider you can get your skills up if you want to do whatever.

Basically this. A large number of us are slogging it to get the crafting bonus buildings, housing, food, and other poo poo, people coming later will be able to just dive in and have more instant fun :toot:

We fought our first major battle today. I only managed to see the rear end-end of it but I still managed to get a kill. Someone who was there, can you summarized what happened?

Blood Wolves have been attacking our vassal Dreadlords pretty heavily and taking a major toll on them. We knew that if we can't defend our vassals, they don't owe us any loyalty, so we decided to go and do something about it.

Today we sent a raid to scout their base out, about 8 of us engaged and killed 4 or so outside their base and stole a trade cart off claim.

When we were almost home, they rode up with about ~25 people, and we engaged. We were really caught heavily outnumbered and had to fall back to Goondor.

For awhile, with casaulties mounting, we were in deep poo poo, but Dreadlords mustered a surprise counter-attack on their flank and split their group in half, allowing us to rally on our defenses and begin forming back up. Bowman and ranged on the walls kept them suppressed and scattered, and, battered and wounded, the goons gathered at the gate, and together with our allies, outgeared, wounded, and ragged, fought a bloody melee against the enemy.

Amazingly, we broke the enemy in the melee, causing them to scatter and flee back to their castle in the mountains. Undeterred, we gave equipment to our vassals to help them rebuild and re-arm, and tonight we're setting about the work of stockpiling arms and fortifying our position even further. The enemy cut down a ton of our trees off our claim, escalating the war from skirmishing to all out. We will burn them out of their hovels and drive them into the dirt.

We have the equipment, we have the base, what we need are more goons, more spears in the line, and more bows in the walls. This is our first test in this single-shard, full loot PVP game. We can fight and win. The call is out, the horn of goondor sounded! Join! :getin:

Don't buy this game, it's garbage. You can't move between most zones right now and the devs are unresponsive only giving out pre-canned messages, all while charging for characters, coins and claims in a beta stage. What I've seen of combat is ten times worse than Mount and Blade: Warband and after 3 years of developing LIF:YO it's still not even good. So much of this game is about abusing auto-clickers and stuff like that, it's not actual content unfortunately.

You're not charged for coins or characters or claims :smugdon:

Goondor is recruiting, just join up with us and have some fun. The combat is fun as gently caress and anyone that's been in a guild fight can attest to that.

I actually like boring skill based systems that need macrod. I enjoyed gathering and crafting in darkfall a lot. I just want to melt my brain and make hats.

I am more worried about how to protect a house/resources/inventory while offline. I don't mind some set back, but alpha clans on Ark really killed the game for me. They would completely level anything built each and every single week.

Just put stuff on the guild/your own claim. Craft lots of arrows. Give goons arrows.

lol so they rolled out a new EULA this morning. Less than a week ago they were saying that large-scale automation wasn't possible so it wasn't something they had to worry about. They have now made it against game rules. From the discord:

The only solution would be to remove the things that make people want to use scripts. You won't win the war against automation. I took even Blizzard 8+ lawsuits and millions of dollars to take down ONE bot provider.

I've gone from wanting to stay to wanting to move to wanting to stay to being okay with both. Seems like whatever we do we're gonna be in a lovely loving situation, and it's almost as if we might as well stay because most of the work is already done and we're just trading one problem for another. Then again, who knows, maybe planting trees won't be so bad- but the growth cycles may be severely stunted in the southern biomes for all we know due to lack of rainfall (trees grow better in the north supposedly). Hunting is way easier and we get tons of clay, but we have to ration wood and who the gently caress knows about crop growth or if the weather patterns are different since its a dry biome.

I think devoting an entire day for people to look for alternative locations has helped with perspective. The problems we have with our current spot are fixable, like any other location. It would be hard to find better. Leadership issues have been fixed, and we have clear direction, just need to nail down what people want. I'm fine making it work either way.

Ultimately I'm looking forward to building/finishing the dreadfort in goondor so I can just go back to chopping heads off full time.

Is there anything someone like this dude can do to help the overall effort other than just be better?

You're going to want to get your strength to at LEAST ~30, so you can use most non-2h weapons and equip all the gear you need. In discord there is a ton of pinned info about how to grind skills up easily.

If you're going to go mostly crafting, Willpower/Intelligence are your stat priorities, for PVP it tends to be agility/constitution
