Jorb announced a new world starting december 5th
Did they finally remove permadeath? I don't mind getting knocked out from time to time. I would love to PvP a little myself but losing your character is a dealbreaker. >those changes to gatesWhat are they thinking?
>>2046068>ESL devs have no fucking clue why people play>cater to the worst possible people>start a cash store before the game is finished>ESLs extort people for cash shop items and threaten to kill them (and other criminal activity, like bugged clients)>game itself has massive amounts of downtimeAs much as I like the aesthetic, every world I've played has been a shitshow. Just play Don't Starve Together, and actually have fun.
I'm going to play the first two months. That's where the fun is.
The game improved more in the last year than the entire of post-legacy combined. Hopefully Jorb fucking understands player retention is the most problematic element for this game and starts addressing it finally. Here's a pic of my first ore haul in W16.
>>2049459They don't understand and they never will. They only dev when they feel like it or when the annual gold subs run out.
I'm hyped for W16 v2.
I have never actually played this game by building an actual home, I have always played as though I was an actual troll, setting up a camp somewhere and just hunting/foraging and then scavenging whatever moving on when my shit pile of hides and leather was taken.
>>2053664Creating challenges like this is the only way to enjoy this game. I wish they added an official Ironman mode.
what the fuck is a jorb
>>2057641morb = morbiusjorb = jorbius
>>2046435Permadeath from pvp hasn't been a thing for a while unless you're repeatedly losing fights and not healing wounds. Unless you pvp over water and they drown you then you're fucked but that can be avoidable outside of deep ocean
>>2071576Players can't kill you anymore?
>>2074125the only way you can be killed is by someone who outstats you by around x70 their strength vs your con and it becomes impossible to do so if you have quality armor. Unless you fuck up a lot and just stay there while heavily wounded you are basically always able to teleport away unless you opted in for mutual combat
Launch day, Jorb just made a post confirming it, not too late to find a village if you are new, check the official forums. Remember that palisade gates changed, they are all functionally visitor gates, so don't fuck up your base.
>>2103181>wait on a horse near someones base>they leave>sprint and put them in combat>they are now stuck outside because you can't go through Vgates during combatlol
updownupdownupdownpeople inherited from w16 toons lul gonna have 1k stat guys running around gg
i miss the /v/ villages from world 3~6
>>2046068>16.1What is the difference besides the dumb gates?
>>2104339clothes that are harder to make will apparently be better to gild other than gildings and gate change the 16.1 world is running concurrently with world 16 and will be more experimental
I was hoping for some crazy stuff but it's fuckn nothing.
hoping the new stuff is just hidden from the patch notes...whats the best free client now that ard unstable is dead?also vm hermit commune when?
>>2105087i wanna join a commune ;3;
>>2104824This. Wake me up when they remove the turn-based combat mixed with the drinking simulator.
>>2105087>vm hermit commune when?when someone rushes a snekkja and boats over to the islands nobody spawned on
>everything is sped up by 2x, if not morethis shit is so fucking dank, about fucking time
>>2105991cant you just whirlpool to them?
There are 3 continents and you can select which one to spawn on. I don't think there are more than that.
>>2106453there is a cluster you can spawn in, it supposedly gets larger the longer the server goes on but in the last few servers there were completely uninhabited islands simply because nobody spawned there or went there
getting ganked? just say "no" and walk through your gatestudy desk material requirements were cleaved so i'm assuming palisade costs were as well, will report back when i have leather in a bit
>>2107127This is a good change.
it's over, fought 4 bats at a cave entrance for cape hides, took 1 wound hits my nicks and nacks turned into this
ran his ass over pulling this thing with the canoe? new snake meta
I presume it is too early, but any news about sieging?
>>2107832whats there to be news-ed about
>>2105087well ive been testing clients. tried kami, it has nowhere near the same level of features as ard did. tried hurricane, it seems better but lots of the defaults suck. i like the comments on the settings, very detailed. using that for now.
>find perfect spot to settle>build palisade>set up everything >instantly lose interest and delete gamefuck
how am I supposed to get anything done, leave my base with an empty inventory, oh I could use some string, oh I could use more squirrels, oh I need some mushrooms and bugs and my inventory is full and now I have to portal back without even doing what I left to do in the first place
>>2111351Get 20 or 30 hides, dry them and use the bones to build a study desk. Get 10k lp to start forager credo.Whatever you are doing don't eat random food.You can do some fishing and eat spitroasted fish to get your stats to 15-20. Splitting mirkwood blocks gives tons of fishing bait.Magpie gildings can up your int to 20.You will trash a lot of the stuff you are picking up right now. It's a waste of time. Worry about a palisade first.
>>2111351are you using stacks? did you buy premium? did you make invetory space gildings? are you even wearing a backpack + reed belt?you can also make a storage crate and hold it before you tp back. if you get a rowboat thats 2x chests. if you have a cart thats 7x chests (6+hold 1). tame a horse asap and use clovers until you get a real horse. also do what the other anon said. but make the tanning racks in a beast den faraway from water and bases.
>>2105991i am on a non spawn continent. you dont need snek, just double dugout at certain crossings is usually good enough if anyone wants to spawn there lmk, not sure ill play long too much other shit going on
I suppose it was bound to happen eventually to get this lucky finding metal
>play this>get the farthest i've ever gotten>die to a bugnever again
>>2125499this nigga died to a sand flea
>>2125534i mean a game bug, not an enemy bug
The map is too big.
>>2127831I spawned on an island with LITERALLY nobody else on it.Like not even in a 5 hour run towards ANY direction is there a single dead animal, chopped down tree, wild hearthfire, runestone, paved ground or basically any sign of living activity outside my own near me.
I started in this general area and this place is completely packed, maybe everybody started over here, there is also no dugout escape except for the small area at the bottom as the higher tick rate seems to also apply to ocean damage
just spent the last 2 days tanking my satiety to binge on strength foods and refining my axe to dig on level 2 and the copper I found was absolute abysmal dogshit lower quality than my tin and I only got 4 pieces of ore before it was too hard to mine
>>2132421I hope that was a miner alt otherwise congrats on bricking your character.
>>2046068What's the monetization like for this game?
>>2135633it's freemium, you can play for free but can buy extras, if you activate your account for a one time fee you get slightly more inventory space, lots of actions take less time to do and get 20% more "character development" which is either stat gains or lp or both.you can also subscribe which is a monthly/whatever time amount you buy that gives slightly better bonuses than verifiedyou can also buy unique hats that cannot be taken from you unless you give them up
>>2135633You can pay to increase character development rate (more learning points + more FEPs from food) and convenience (speed up certain actions).Verified account (one-time purchase of $15)120% character development rate150% convenienceSubscribtion ($7 per month)130% character development rate200% convenienceVerified and subscribed account (yes, they stack)150% character development rate250% convenience
>>2137622Funny enough, there are a few actions that start going too quick for autodrink to sip between, meaning you're going to be forced into the regular paused action drink, causing it to take longer on verified + sub than it would just sub or verified.Smithing is the most blatant one, which is just kind of nitpicking considering unless you're a bowtard, you're probably not going to be mass smithing much.
feels like im reaching the limits of what I can do without a farm, i have literally no source of dex food other than asp or eating boiled mussels, even on level 2 there is many walls I can't mine was I supposed to just power my strength without a care to 150+? been keeping my stats relatively even at 59 but dex is lagging at 39 and int is starting to get left behind as well
>>2151755You need an alt for mining. Farming too.
>>2151755>trying to keep stats even as a jack of all trades>not making a farmbut why thoughjust waddle around and pick up some wild windsowns for 20 minutes and you'll have a farm
