Game Development: As Above, so Below

[L33LEE]

qbradq and magicman are right: I don't think it hurts newer players, but hurts more established ones.
From that perspective, I thought I would bring up some of my new-ish player thoughts:
1 As mentioned before, veterans will be more hesitant when raiding bases. Without access to 100% purity crops, any bile damage done by braziers cannot be recouped. Newer players with braziers but only low quality iron may not be worth targeting. Huge swing in the risk/reward - the only way to keep those 400+ biles is to not fight. Biles above +100is (whatever the number is) is a finite resource, for now at least. When it comes to raiding less established players, is the juice worth the squeeze? They might be able to make an army of 300 bile characters, but for now there's a limit to how many. That limit wasn't there yesterday.

What the veterans should do now is use the power they have to bash any base they suspect have pure humus, that way they secure power forever.

Its already happened im sure of it.

This is already going down. May as well place statues of all the super powers in boston on each server. I don't see them being contested for a very long time.

because pure humus is an unlimited resource, amirite?

Inb4 the powers of plymouth raid everyone they gave pure seeds to to get that humus, even if it means throwing away a few tiered alts.

The pure humus is just going to be used differently. Lets say I need a barrel of 100% pure flour (extremely valuable now). To make it i'll need just a handfull of pure humus and just add Lime to goet it up to 500-1000 plenty.

Imagine how much high purity food someone with 500 s&c + Limespam can sqeeze out of just TWO units of humus

Dont get me wrong, I'm not complaining... because I have pure humus

Oh well at least I still have my zombie apocalypse seed cupboard.

OMG D:

As a farmer, my thoughts on this update...

This.

eheheh ;D i'm the onle like you

[Andromedan]

Loving the added depth and complexity, a lot.

Wouldn't mind a server wipe or new server, to even the playing field. It's still beta. Reading through all the comments, I'm sure everyone's concerns have been vented. Mine are the same, naturally, so I'll leave those out.

So why are people asking for a server wipe? Why not ask to wipe the purity of all the humus? People keep their characters and bases, and seeds will decay from crap humus. Seems like a reasonable compromise. He said, with nothing to lose.

Even if the seeds decay, the 400+ bile characters won't just go away, sure, the braziers might damage their biles a bit, but If they don't attack your base directly? You can't stay inside your walls forever and you can't ever hope to catch up with them. Character wipe & purity wipe on all seeds and humus would be the way to go, resetting erryrywun.

Wipe is only solution or people will start playing hnh

"There are 313 hearthlings playing."

[RainbowMoostache]

I actually have the lust to abandon the ship aswell.

Wish I can go back to HnH. But the lag is just awful. When are they gonna fix this?

Something must be done to this, all the active playerbase is sinking and not to mention, some of my friends are considering quitting.
