Yes, truly a shitposter's post. I read it, Rem.
Low effort thread, because this is HnH and I would actually be surprised if more than 2 people actually gave enough of a poo poo to even respond here.

Any of you nerds want to poopsock this and start a village?

We Have A Bow And We Wish To Use It
it's been the dev's hobby for about twelve years

not sure about getting back into it, over time the older versions would turn into a daily chore simulator from which the only release was sweet pvp death

If i'm remembering right there is a real poopsocking element where 6 fuckmen playing the same account 24/7 to say level unarmed combat could then walk into a base and punch out a whole village. Instead of other open world pvp games where the levels/gear are a distinct advantage but say 5 casual players with basic bows/swords could take on a poopsocker.

I also remember the combat being pretty janky especially around fights involving more than 1 person?

Has any of that changed. Whats the ratio of time to efficacy?

also is the pvp mainly constantly attacking a static structure (maybe it was a gate/wall) then getting very tired having to take a rest or meal break and then slightly damaging said structure again only to find out the player has another set of walls and logging out to never log in again

this also might be the game where a small group of us spent like the better part of a day fumbling our way through making a small shack/cabin and very short wall requiring 100s of doing the same chop tree harvest fiber etc only to find out we didn't put it on a foundation first so it rapidly decayed with no way to recover.

Combat has improved a bit... It's still janky. PvP is now mostly centered around building siege poo poo and breaking walls with that rather than punching walls.

Played this with a group of friends last summer for about a month. The game is absolutely huge and the crafting is legit. However as it became clear just how much grinding was required to increase the quality level of everything from your crops, to minerals you mine, to deer you hunt, we all fell off. Chat was full of people whining about squads of Russians wandering around razing everyones houses and villages on sight and combat seemed really janky with yet another huge investment in time to be any good at it. I was consistently getting stung to death by gnats and decided this game just wasn't for me.

So it's basically Wurm Online but less grindy?

Something about the graphics really appeal to me, I just wish this wasn't a game about PvP and crafting.

How long did you last in W13? I will probably be playing in W14, but it's really hard to find a group that I vibe with. Lots of spergs, undesirables, and kids. I played solo for about 3 weeks and then just gave up. There's too much for one person to do, you have to either play with multiple people, use bots/learn to code, and/or run multiple accounts. I've played in at least 4 or 5 worlds by now but I've only ever had a serious village for one, and that was a ton of fun (in W11 iirc).

The HnH discord and forums are extremely toxic and edgy. I think 4chan has better moderation. There's been a lot of drama this year as it seemed to be a push to get these toxic people out of the community, but the devs are pretty much libertarian swedes or someshit and won't permaban anyone or even make a statement against this poo poo. Devs are completely clueless and feckless and have to be jedi-mind-tricked into doing anything. Jalpha is a poster there who seems to be an open pedophile. There are a handful of other equally problematic posters and they ALL post in EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. to give their 2 cents and boost their post count. For every post that these people make there are at least 4 other posters calling them a pedo and poo poo, it's impossible to have a normal thread. It's loving hell and I would never in good conscience point anyone to play this game.

Here's an example of the type of posting fare that is not uncommon to see. TW: homophobia



So anyways, anyone wanna play together? They added a cool new 'doomsday stream' that jumps around to random players. I actually really love this stream and hope they keep it around, wish it had some sound though.

Yea sounds like the kind of poo poo they would allow to fester.

Man imagine getting probated for a thread title you can't edit from so long ago, that neither the slang rule it violated nor the moderation team even existed back then. Couldn't happen to me :eyeroll:

About a month and a half. Yeah, I have a similar issue with the HnH pubbie community. There's too much problematic chud energy and the prevalence of bots means that unless you're with a group you'll get outpaced pretty hard regardless of how many mechanics the devs try to add while avoiding the obvious solution of just banning bots. Might be a good idea to try and meet-up early on regardless. Maybe we'll actually get a decent goon group this time around since it's a massive game draught anyways. If nothing else, we can enjoy kicking down a few sandcastles before some poopsocker with 10k statted toons roll through us and we all collective rage quit.
