One Hour One Life Forums

I liked watching sheep butcher themselves then rise from the dead.

Look what you guys did. Gave away the whole ohol Illuminati in one convenient thread. Next thing you know people are going to start with the aluminum foil caps to prevent our world domination.

I appreciate all the support from you guys in the community, it's nice to see all the love and support from everyone

I don't think it's too huge of a deal since he's reverted back skip change but I know I also had the same issue where I hit the same woman in back to back lives like posted in the picture.

It's just one of those issues that never got properly addressed so players will refuse to raise any sort of group players in the first place. I personally don't like to raise multiples whether they're twins/trips/quads as I've had enough bad experiences with groups to know better than to risk it which is sad because group play is much more fun than solo.

It's unfortunate that you have to go through that when wanting to play with friends but if you want anything done you'll have to bring it up with Jason. When you deal with coordinated griefers it's not a fun experience and it makes normal people wanting to play a bigger risk than reward you can see why no one wants twins/trips/quads.

I used all 24 of mine before the update went live so I can't really say I used a few rofl.

I think the bad mother code does a better job at making children precious than giving players life tokens as generally speaking babies aren't valuable and you aren't the one getting punished for dumping kids. Blocking players from having kids if three of their babies die (not counting sids at the moment) is both a punishment for bad moms and prevents the mother from screwing over more babies. While I do think the change is overall good I do think some of the punishment should be redirected towards bad moms especially with the ability to get their birth cooldown back instantly to hose more children if they want.

You're right, there probably should be some sort of basic warning system in place because most players aren't going to sit around camp just because they "might" have a baby soon. Having a sort of heads up that you're going to be popping out a baby soon means you can either decide to hold off on leaving to work or that you should be turning around and going back home.

I mean I think it's worth a shot. If you dump someone in a cell you can pretty much force them to stay alive and basically tell people to curse the person being kept captive. Of course any sort of jail or prison will be used on innocent players regardless of outcome. At best a jail cell ends up being used for timeout "Don't shear all the sheep or you get five minutes in the pokey" and as a way to keep trolls out of other villages with either curses or by forcing them to stay alive.

At worst a jail system would lead to players being entrapped like they are/were with breeding cells where they just get held hostage until their warden decides to kill them or let them starve.

Yeah I think that's part of the reason it works. I've beaten a bow before by pulling a quick snowball out but that's the only time that's worked for me. Any time I've ran into another armed person with knife or sword I've just ran them over to a snowbank by pretending to drop my weapon or letting them do the offensive part.

Correct, griefers can use snowballs against you just as you can use snowballs against them which is demonstrated in the case of Futurebird and her family being snowballed to death. The snowball is basically the tie breaker in the eternal game of chicken that is melee combat where as ranged combat is just a game of never getting near another player due to not knowing who has the better latency. While snowballs are definitely overpowered and should be nerfed I do feel like something should exist in their niche of disarming with preference to whatever would replace them not be lethal if possible.

Combat as is happens to be a weird system:
Melee beats unarmed (duh)
Snowball beats unarmed and melee
Bows beat melee and unarmed
Snowballs and bows play chicken.

Melee is only truly effective against people who you are outside of their FoV or for surprise attacks with the classic example being stand next to someone and pull out a quick knife.
Melee vs melee is either a game of chicken or a situation of which of the two players is smart enough to fetch a snowball
Ranged vs ranged is just the chicken situation.

While you've removed some of the dancing from combat (melee combat when people are being silly) ranged combat should never result in one player shooting another as it's safer to just avoid the other person until they drop their weapon. So the most effective way in game to combat someone with a bow is to just run around until they have to eat which is also silly in my opinion.

In relation to the bug I have no real idea if the underlying cause for people to permanently lose their surname is related to the server hiccups (completely random disconnects) or if you've managed to fix the root of the problem with players losing their surnames now being cursable.

Snowballs are our only nonlethal weapon in game at this point. If you remove the ability to splat people then you are removing a players only real defense against armed players besides just running away.

Auto-aim is problematic because it has no counters besides just running away. Melee? You go and grab a snowball to disarm them and then proceed to stab. Before auto-aim was introduced the counter was to not get hit as the player with the snowballs could miss and then be punished. There's no punishing in a system where the game just hits the other player.

If you're going to remove the ability to disarm with snowballs I'd like to see a real nonlethal ranged weapon be added to the game along with the promised tools to deal with griefers. We've had the bug where we can't curse players in our own lineages for a month at this point and I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping to see that fixed.

I really think adding a timer is a terrible idea for deaths in general. Why? How frustrating would it be to get abandoned multiple times in a row and get stuck waiting at a "git gud" screen. Moms already have the ability to reset their birth cooldown instantly when a baby dies so you might just end up on the same lady riding around on a horse which leads to another minute of twiddling your thumbs while you wait to be able to play. Runner babies are a bigger annoyance than /die babies because runners will keep you on cooldown longer than someone who just pops in and out real quick. Unfortunately, with all the changes this generally means you get the same /die baby repeatedly but it's better than making 500 Eves spawn.
