One Hour One Life Forums

I've been telling my wife, who hasn't played the game since April, about this ridiculous dispute [and she was never there for the "naked in the desert" meta] and her comment is, "It's a survival game, it isn't the Sims"

Exactly.

Lol at the silly people that think Jason would actually pay me, a person that gets maybe a few thousand views per video, to say anything. Jason refuses to get the game localized into different languages which would pay for itself within days, what makes you think he'd throw money away by paying me, a person who already loves this game and plays it almost every day, to say positive things about the update? I have no clue what you people are smoking, but I want some.

We've had what I think were mostly bad updates for the past few months, and I've been pretty vocal about it in my videos, the discord, and even these here forums. But now that we finally got an update that improves the game mechanics and fixes one of the things I've been complaining about for months now, I'm 'being suspicious'? Besides, you could have just checked the description of the video to see that I'm not being paid, as any paid content must be clearly disclosed as such.

True, Eve starts are more difficult than before, but that's a completely unrelated issue that can be balanced on its own. The fact of the matter is that the new temp mechanics are just plain better and make more sense that living butt naked in the desert.

...

I am extremely invested in this game because it is the game I've been looking for my entire life. It is THE game for me, and I've been following it since 2017 and playing since it released last February. I play it on YouTube, I play it on Twitch, I play it in my free time, I read these forums, I am active in the Discord, I watch other people's OHOL videos, I am active on other people's Twitch streams always ready to teach and give advice. Fortunately for me, last summer my OHOL videos started picking up a bit of steam and they're reasonably popular these days, so yay for that.

I even recall him complaining in some earlier videos about the apocalypse but now he seems to have different view points.

The Apocalypse is a completely garbage mechanic and I've had the same opinion since day one. I don't have a different view point now, I have no idea where you got that from.

it's not elitist for a game to be challenging. Stop being babies. The fun of the game is that it begins frantic and challenging. it should actually be difficult for an eve camp to survive.

Do any of you remember 25-30 years ago when it commonly actually took some effort to survive a game's first level?

The response to any complaints about the new update seems to be meet by pretentious elitists that think they are something godley

Nah, mostly only betame loves the update, he just posts a lot   I think a lot of players agree with the concept, like myself, just not necessarily the tuning of it.

For the record, this isn't how I'd want heat to be modeled. I've posted explaining how the mechanics have shifted, but never shut down complaints. - criticism challenges the status quo.

The dev adds what he fancies, and we're left to decide whether to play his game.

I understand how you feel FlyingAboo, I feel like this game has changed really dramatically and for the worst with this new update. It was done with little consideration to how the majority of the player base, casual players, would feel about it and I personally feel like it was done with either minimal or no play testing at all. I understand wanting clothes and buildings to play a role, but this was not the right way to go about doing it. The game isn't as fun as it was before.

Its a real shame because it really felt like it had so much potential.  But I guess I should have read more reviews on Steam before I fell victim to the Youtube hype.  Allot of them clearly warn that this game should be beta or better yet early access.

My hope is that Jason will realize his mistake and his next update does something to either reverse this or add something in to balance it all out. My advice to you is to not give up on this game just yet and wait like the rest of us for the next update.

I still say that jason has 15 servers, like 3 of them were being used fairly regular before his 'big server' update. Why does he not keep his stupid vision of having people do nothing except eat every 2 seconds and work their ass off to wear cloths that really don't help that much, or what ever his vision for a 'too hard to enjoy' game is, and dedicate a couple of those EMPTY servers to easier settings.

If he cared at all about his player base he would do this, test which model his PAYING customers prefer and cater to the majority while also providing for all player preferences.

Hell he could have different settings on all 15, or maybe do something more reasonable like keep 10 servers and have beginner, intermediate and his hell settings available.
