One Hour One Life Forums

So I just had an idea of how to make trading, and co-existing work. Add an emote to the game where if you have it on you can't draw a sword or a knife or bow.

People will actually trust you, and not kill you on sight.

"Well couldn't you just change your emote and draw a weapon?" Well I'd say make it unchangeable for at least a minute. This gives people time to actually trust you and realise you're not a threat.

Having this will make encounters easier, and might possibly let us actually trade and live together.

Murdering people doesn't area lock them because it can't. This means griefers continue to keep coming back, and back and back. You can kill them 10 times and nothing changes.

I know what you're going to say. Curse them! I did. But there is 40 people in a town, and nobody has any idea what is going on because there's too many murders, too many people, the names are all crazy weird because of the massive amount of births. You tell people to curse them but no one has any idea who is who. This is isn't fun. This is REALLY rough. REALLY REALLY rough.

The lack of families just makes this impossible to deal with. All of us, the entire player base gets born into a single town because there's only one family left. Even if you get born into a different village it's a VERY short walk back to the main town to cause more mayhem or simply /die until you're born back because you will be. There's no way to fight this Jason. What are we supposed to do? Seriously? Build fences? They're killing us from the inside.

I played for an hour, and I killed 5 people who were griefing. I was killed 3 times, and on my 4th life I decided to give up and kill myself when I watched a 3 year old run off with the bucket again. This is seriously hell. Hiding stuff behind trees has always been a problem, but it's out of control now with limited resources. Losing a bucket means death in a place with limited resources. "Plant more milkweed!" How are we supposed to water them? Walk across the map to find a pond over and over? Then when they're finally grown and you make a bucket, a 3 year old runs off and hides it behind a tree. Putting you in the same position.

This isn't fair.

My solutions for this? Make it so we can use bowls on cisterns. It's an unmovable water container. It would help a lot. My solution for the tree griefing? Make tiles behind trees taken up by the trees. This tree hiding is disgusting and unfair. You and I both know people can see through trees, but a large majority of the players cannot.

My solutions for the griefers being reborn over and over? Revert the rift. This is NOT working Jason. There is no possible way this can work anymore. The lack of families, and space for murdered people to go is making it so much harder on people just trying to play. I don't like having to watch my family to make sure they're not stealing shit, I don't like having to spend my time finding stuff behind trees because I'm one of the few good players that can, I don't like being born to the same town over and over and over and over and over and over. I don't like this.

Dealing with griefers isn't a story like you put it. It's a stressful time no one likes dealing with because the damage they cause can last a long time. They killed all the sheep? That's half a lifetime of work, growing rope and finding the sheep and stuff. They hid all the iron and tools behind trees? That's 2 lifetimes of work, between getting more iron and smelting it all and making more tools. Oh they hid all the plates? That's 10-20 mins of work to make new ones. All the while the times inbetween are hell because we can't work without the items that were stolen or hidden.

But guess what Jason. It takes only a few seconds to grief all the work that was done. That's the huge flaw. Pick up the iron, the buckets, the pies, the plates and put them far away. It takes them no time at all. Kill them, they come back and do it again.

The way the game is right now isn't going to ever work. This isn't OHOL. One family? One town? How is this your vision? At least get rid of the rift until you think of a way to fix it because me and a lot of other people are at our limit.

I loved this game. I have over 700 hours in it! But I just can't stand it right now. It's so draining. The only thing that makes me play is the community. There's so many good people here, but there's so many bad people too.
