One Hour One Life Forums

Yes I've had this happen all night tonight. The game keeps lagging out and crashing. I'm not starving, because some of the lives I had a lot of food left but when I came back it takes me to be another eve or born to another eve. I went from being 4th ranking on the server to 120th because so many of my lives, my babies and all their relatives all die over and over. Its always the same reason, lag out then kicked from game.

I'm pretty sure others around me are crashing as well because the moment I become an eve, I pop out like 4 kids all talking about how they died.

A few of the lives I've been born as a ginger eve right next to a jungle, I thought that wasn't supposed to happen.

The aspect of war within this game COULD be fun but it hasn't been because it's not the focus of the game. The game is and is advertised to be about parenting and civilization building. Any new player who is learning cook then sees their family slaughtered is not going to have fun. They did not sign up to play a PVP game. Many of them probably quit during the Rift. That's the problem with war currently in this game, its fun to those doing the killing and it's not fun to everyone else and the result is people quitting the game...because that isn't the game they paid to play.

However if Jason launched a new game, a spinoff - OHOL: War Edition and civilization building was much easier and combat was the real goal so that all other gameplay aspects supported the war effort then yes that would potentially be a fun  game.

Actually I don't think a tutorial is what you need, instead what we need is a better UI for recipies. Any other game would have real UI for a recipe book, that would have tabs for categories, such as (starter recpies, animals, building, cooking, forging, hunting, etc). It would be intuitive how to use it, it would have pictures with notes, you could mark your favorites, etc. But that is a TON of work for 1 person so it's unlikely to be made.

Sorry but this is the type of person I'm ok with not sticking around to play the game. This is the type of person that drives the good players away. I do spend a lot of time teaching new players and it's usually pretty easy to tell who they are based on what they pick up and how they move. Most new players genuinely want to learn but we shouldn't have to teach someone how not to be an asshole.

This particular player, even if he was new he knew how roads worked, he knew how curses worked, he knew that what he did was wrong enough to immediately run away, he knew what to steal, he choose to lie, he choose to call me a slut. Not having him in the game is better than having him.

Do /leader, if it says "No Leader" that means you are the leader. it's not intuitive.

I think I ran into you earlier today with the jungle people. We had a griefer in town, a ginger who stole a horse and kept taking our tools. We had a posse chasing her down and eventually she got off her horse and ran into a pie hut where she died in the door way. You asked what was going on and that this was your pie hut.

I'll try to remember this so I can find one in the future. When I'm playing a woman I love moving into little huts that are mostly self sustaining because its the one time when kids and grandkids actually stay and have a home life. New players are more likely to learn because there are less distractions.

Honestly I think the population is just too low. I think it was this past weekend that I was born as an Eve. I wasn't in the mood to start a new town so I started walking to just something an abandoned town. I had a daughter (new player) and quickly found the desert people's town. My daughter wanted to stay so I got food and clothing and followed the road. Very close to that town was an abandoned town that I moved into. This was perhaps the BEST abandoned town I'd ever seen. It had a well ready for an engine but no engine, but it has a second well, a working deep well with a road close by. We had all the supplies for seals to upgrade it, the cisterns still had water, there were tons of food, clothing, farm animals, etc. The town hadn't been scavenged yet, I think the people had just recently died out.

I had two more daughters (thankfully not new player) and they had children. We claimed the deep well in our family's name and lived very well. The town only survived for 8 or so generations before it died out. We had the BEST chance to survived from any Eve family I'd ever seen based on the healthy status of our town and we quickly died out.

I don't know if outposts would help.

I wouldn't say we're being overwhelmed with babies but they tend to happen a bit too often. When I play a mother, this is my problem: I do not want to raise more than 1 baby at time. Twins and triplets are rare exceptions, but in general I don't want to be giving my 1 year old newborn a tour of the town and pop out a second baby. Having 1 baby allows me to keep it in my arms and still be mobile, I can take it with me to collect clothes, get food, give a tour of town, introduce the baby to their grandma and siblings and talk to them a bit. 3-5 minutes the bare minimum to raise a baby that feels welcomed and loved. But the moment I have two babies that can't feed themselves it means I'm now stuck at the fire, the babies don't meet family members, they are half dressed, they may not know where the food or farm is. It's just a subpar experience raising multiple babies at the same time.

So the key is allowing mothers to raise 1 baby at a time.

After each child of mine is born, I want a timer to start and I will not pop out another baby for guaranteed 3 minutes. If that child dies any time during that 3 minutes then the timer goes away. That 3 minute buffer I want to be longer based on how experienced the baby is. If the baby is a veteran player than 3 minutes is enough but if the baby is a new player then I likely will need to teach them something and will need extra time. So the buffer time could be a sliding scale based on how experienced the player is, vet = 3 minute buffer while a complete noob is 6 minutes.

Were you the woman in the kitchen that was attacking multiple people with a knife and getting mad because we wouldn't let you do it? You sound like the same person. All she did was complain about Jason and the game dying and how we were all uptight for not letting her attack people. Was that you?

Yup lately I've been between 2nd place and 10th place so most lives now I end up the leader. It makes things so much easier. I exile problem people and usually it sorts it self out after that. If they continue to be trouble the town people get rid of them or if the problem person behaves then I redeem them.

I only saw one life where the leader murdered everyone, since then I never pass on leadership to anyone, I let the system do it.

Yes please add forgiveness!!

Not only have I see "Curse You" curse the wrong person but I've also seen "Curse my baby" curse the wrong baby when the mother is trying to curse a SID baby but a different baby was born at the same time.

I'm one of the "good" vet players that was sent to donkey town. It's because I have a hard time not going after griefers. Someone kills all the sheep...damn right I'm going to hunt that person until they are cursed and dead. But that makes me a target, that sheep killer is likely to curse me for hunting them down. The random person who didn't see the sheep killing only see me with a bloody knife and also curses me. Taht sheep killer probably had a baby that will also curse me and try to kill me because I'm trying to end their griefer mother. That's 3 curses for trying to save the town. I've gotten better though at getting towns people on my side and letting others initiate the attack so I don't get cursed as often now.

Sure I could let that griefer steal our engine but getting it back has to fall to someone. Most people don't have zoom and aren't advanced enough of a player to know what to do so it falls to the vets to fight back. That's why I ended up buying a second account, the first one was stuck in donkey town.

Long story short, yes please add forgiveness.

If I curse someone as a child, when I'm old I get a 2nd curse. If I curse that same person again, will it count as a 2nd curse on that person or does it just refresh the curse timer?

These are always fun to read.
