Deep down you wanted this. The only question that lingers in this patch is how long it will take before you acknowledge it.

If the game does grow then it'll be because noob players like this stick with it because the game is also fun not just "unplayable".

The game is harsh, chorey and grindy we all know this but losing everything by being caught out with no ability to defend yourself against bigger players makes for a dumb mechanic. You've made it so that Bases are nearly permanent and there's no more wiping of bases and that's awesome but now you need to protect that mid level player a little bit so that they don't get griefed out of the game. I keep saying it, but it's important: Killing should be an end-game mechanic about crimes, witchcraft and politics.



Nah it would be better if you learn the first time not to afk holding a boulder over your head. Would be better to not stand around sorting through your 100 boxes of crap crying about how scared you are of getting raided rather than working on the walls, braziers etc. Would be better if you didn't cry about how long it takes timber piles to dry only to have so many moldy boards, and learned from this so that next time you build more than 5 timber piles thinking you're gonna be set for life now. Etc.
As if I care.

no no, i want to interact with others, trade, talk, sit around etc... not be forced to do work i dont want to, up till now the game has never forced anyone to do anything (exept maybe building defense) wish there was a simple solution to Deactivate it for those wh odont want to take part in it... :roll:

edit: just if u think i troll, i dont its very serious here i love the game and i love sepnding on it but i dont like dying for standing afk in my base or just chatting.

Just make a new character, and refuse to do anything but stand around in town and chat. You'll have 30+ hours to do so before dying to insanity and then you can just make another to get another 30 hours of free chat-room time.

thats not the point, would need to transfer over my 100+ friendslist each time, also salem shouldnt really be about forcing the player to anything, that was never ment to be, and alot of people/vets think so/hate it. :/

You don't have 100 friends. You have 100 people who accidentally accepted your Kin and curse the day they did.

on a sidenote please stop ignoring the face most of the players dont want to get forced onto anything, maybe ask them before doing such harsh things?

Sometimes Salemites just don't know what is good for them.
