Upcoming Patch Announcement

But you mostly running and making maps? Try to settle and lose town and/or main farmer then we will talk

I also had a claim with tiered fields, and several biled characters. The character I had people kinned on was weak, sure, with biles around 110, but she was also my farmer. All skills learned, all proficiency stats worked on. Although I will grant you this much, the only characters I lost were mappers. My raider alts? Never died. Vierna? Never died, although I left plenty of scents around the world on her (only one of them was a murder scent, most were just scents from busting through walls and taking ****.).

Mapping isn't all I have done in Salem, its just all I talk about.

Also, there will be a few days of safety, (or maybe hours) before anyone has the stats to destroy or kill, so make the most of the next few days, and talk to people more.

People will have murder day 1

Maybe, but few, most likely it will be a case of spamming alts to map out the resources as first priority. Always loved new worlds on hnh, a day or so of actually being able to interact with people lol.

If you don't like permadeath, you shouldn't play Salem. If you don't like the idea that everything you have worked for can be lost, and requires (usually), starting over again from nothing, you shouldn't be playing Salem.

Yeah, that's the theory.
In practice there are alts for any action that can pose risks, especially the ones that can leave scents. Making the whole "high risk/high reward" way of life of the raider relatively low risk and the whole permadeath mechanic pointless.

A true permadeath mechanic - with people limited to the use of a single char at any time - would be really nice. If only it was really implementable.

Not sure if people were responding to me, because nothing I said had anything to do with removing permadeath.

Obviously if you are not prepared to lose your character, salem is never going to be the game for you. Kind of ironic considering half of you were whining about server reset, huh

Yeah if people were limited to one character it would actually promote people working together and more specialized individual roles in a government with working towns and civilizations, that would be cool.

People could eventually work on a little bit of everything but would be better to specialize in a community role and work together.

Totally agreed. 10/10 This should be in the next patch.
