Game Development: The Rest of What's Around

Postby jorb » Fri Dec 21, 2012 8:29 pm

We've been developing, and here're a few new things.

Herbpots can be placed on sleds and in boats.
Boardpiles now destructible.
Character plots can no longer be used to destroy authority objects
You can no longer log in on village plots if you are not a member of the village.
You can no longer log out from a place where a login would be forbidden, for example in a village you are visiting.
Silver can no longer be refunded from personal claims.

A few new store offers!

Thanks for all your feedback on siege and gluttony and whatnot. We do read it even if we do not always have the time to respond to everything.

We have a real update in the pipe. Coming soon(tm)!

Log out using :act lo [not sure if the vanilla client has the log out feature in options]?
^ assuming there will be a proper text popup
Or your character will just stay logged in?

Also wondering if the gluttony 'fix' would be axing the farming purity/adjusting food events and leaving the world with some 'terminators' [who already fed themselves enough] like prewipe.

Better late than never.

Still no reason to use vclaim over a pclaim though.

Does having a personal claim on the same place as a village claim, override this? Otherwise I can imagine town bells being dropped to prevent people from logging in there.

Also: if you "can't login on a village plot", I do hope that you will get a "you cant login, but you can login at homestead" message and that the homestead overrides the "can't login on a village plot" rule even if the homestead is inside that village.

I'm fairly sure it does, but do tell if it doesn't.

You may be new here, as am I, but I have read all the old forums threads about your now dead village laughing at the mm tribe for all the different bug abuses they did ( I have read about tracking abuse, multiple claim abuse, summoning abuse and more) which seemed to result in deaths for them each time and bug breaches into vaults and what not, and each time your glorious leader and his cronies just laughed and said they were "bugtesting" the game.

Karma? Get bug tested.
I bet your entire village has been crying to Jorb for weeks and got some friendship magic...
This looks like an entire patch for the crying Gallow kids.


Still seeing butthurt weeks later? Priceless. I love this game. Tears, need more tears.
