One Hour One Life Forums

I like this idea, and maybe like draequine said, perhaps it could be a cone shaped item to amplify the sound or something.
But OP is right, when there is a troll, by the time you inform everyone, they are already dead, or in danger of death seconds later.

I think I saw your posts about the multi arrow solution, and I'm on board with that.  Because its just too quick, you are dead before you know what happened.
I always look at a corpse and see if it has an arrow in it, and if so, start looking around to find out where it came from. 
If you constantly move, they can't knife you or shoot an arrow at you.  But if you stop moving they will get you.
But that is what makes it so easy for them, people are focused working in a field are all lined up and not expecting to flee
at the drop of a hat like that.

Also, I think the knife should only decay after X amount of human attack uses, whereas using it on animals provides no decay.
Although in some ways it just might mean more knives in the world, but at least more people might be armed in towns.

And since there is no way to know a player's name in game, and no way to exactly flag a grief attack, that last solution wouldn't work, however, if there was a
way to do this, it would be great to send all the griefers to their own server to live out their days.  They want that type of life, they can have that type of life.
And maybe an easier temp solution would be an option for PvP on or OFF on the settings options, so that people that would rather not deal with that can
play on those servers.  But without the over eating killing you, they will just use that tactic, or perhaps leading bears into towns or what other evil methods
they can come up with, but for now, it seems like those 2 things are effecting the people that play to advance.

I'm more concerned with the invisible people, you can see them pick stuff up, and you can hear them, but i still don't know if they can hear me
when I talk to them.  Its weird moving into a town as an old man bringing a cart of stuff, and you aren't sure if the people even know you
came to help.

Without Names, and ways to mark people in your own town as legitimate citizens, its a horrible idea to have PvP, because its going to turn into a Kill On Sight scenario
in ALL cities, when the vast population is friendly.  You only get a handful of people that were molested as kids that have to act out this way, so why ruin the friendly
nature of stumbling onto a new city?

I don't have a problem with combat being a thing, I have a problem with the inability to see names, and know who to be weary of, and until that is added,
its just going to turn into grief central.  It shouldn't be a core feature of the game that attracts the unwanted people that have no friends that must ruin other
peoples fun.  It can be an element of the game, but there is no way to keep it in check without a names system.  But the real issue is it needs to be perpetual,
otherwise they just use a new name each life.  We need to be able to screenshot and name and shame these assholes, the anonymous nature of the whole
thing will kill the decent player base if this is left unchecked.  This is also because of the people that eat all your crops, you raise them then they just eat everything
for lols, it shouldn't be that easy to literally not need to do anything to ruin hours of someone's life.  And i say hours, because if you have a good village, often
you respawn as a baby of one of your kids.

Conventionally, forum admins usually are selected by devs to move posts around and delete or lock threads that go off topic.  Not sure what you are talking about.  But if you are saying I can post into the known bugs issues now that I have an older account, then I guess I will do that in the future.

Or they give Jason some food for thought on perhaps finding ways to nerf these types of people.  If people want to ruin a game, you have to take away the ways they ruin it.  For example, Friday the 13th is a good example.  Little kids went around killing other councilors for lols, when it was hard enough to survive as it is.   Over time it just grew to a point that, they just took the pvp element out of the game.  Its sad when you have to do that, but at the same time, if you remove what attracts the trolls, they are bored and leave, and you get just players that want to help.  And if the goal of the game is advancing society, these people create the opposite effect, and thus you could lose your main player base over time if it grows to a point that its pointless to play.  Until there is a name system in the game, and a way to identify other tribe members, and thus differentiate the outsiders, it might need some nerfing because its bound to happen to someone else, time and time again. 

The way griefing was solved in minecraft, i can't recall the mod's name, but it tracked every action a player took on a server.  And if someone griefed, they would contact an admin who could then hit the blocks in question, find out who did it, and then ban the player.  But it was better than just that, it was a massive ban.  It banned them from ALL servers that used that mod.  The player had the option to appeal the grief to the maker's of the mod, and both sides were able to argue your case.   But if you had a screenshot of the ID of it happening it was pretty hard evidence.  So in the long run, you weren't just banning a troll from your server, but all servers that used the mod, and it was super effective.  Granted being there is only a handful of servers of One Hour, and its all run by the dev, something different would need to be done.  But clearly there are those that would rather ruin other people's fun than actually play the game as intended.

The reason its not on Steam is there is no value to a dev anymore to use Steam.  I don't have the exact numbers but I think Steam takes 60% of the retail price, so the
dev makes less than 1/2 and also you would say, well it will sell more cause its on Steam.  That use to be the case, but with 10 new games or more per day popping up,
if people don't notice it launch then it just falls off the charts and drags the game's ratings down, its a slippery slope.  So for now, its just through the main website its sold.

I find more often its a bow the trolls use, but I've died by both.  If i see a knife in their hand, I run for the hills
even if they are friendly, and tell them to drop it, and they either do, or they chase you until you lose them.
