One Hour One Life Forums

Nearest alive player, had to specifically seek this one out myself because I wanted to curse a dead griefer but wouldn't have been old enough if I waited longer than the curse you phrase length.

Setting the doomsday clock two minutes to midnight doesn't help your family survive at all. All you're doing by conquering another town/lineage is moving those players from lineage B to lineage C or A in the situation where you kill off one of the three lineages. There's still going to be 40-60 players the only difference is you've moved the game closer to end game which is the opposite of beneficial for your lineage as you're likely to then die off once the Eve window reopens as players spread into the many new roots of Eve lineages. So unless your only goal is to reset the server there's literally no benefit in the current game to remove a lineage (except explained in my other post where another lineage can take its place or your sole goal is to reset the arc.)

This is also not a battle royale game if you haven't noticed. Making random lineages winners in an arc doesn't suddenly make the game more fresh or exciting, it just means some trolls finally sniped off the other last standing lineage.

If you wanna play fortnite instead of ohol I recommend downloading any of the battle royale games on the market. You want ohol where its more sensible to kill? Go play Rust.

The thing is there's only two times where its ever beneficial to declare war in the first place.

1. There are enough families that losing one doesn't matter OR the Eve window is still open so a new family pops up anyways. Because you are going to potentially shift from your family to the family you attack you are just shooting your foot to ever attack another family. To harm another is to harm oneself which is just incredibly shortsighted of anyone playing like that. So unless you are locked to a family or always blocked from joining a family you're at war with there is never a sensible reason to declaring war on others except muh arr-pee.

2. You are actively trying to end the arc. This just means you're trying to do a reset which has low value as most the time arcs are ended very prematurely due to people wanting to Eve or do early game. The only way to really remedy this is sprinkling Eves in every once and a while like we've seen twice this arc or just setting the reset condition to be a timer instead of the family condition.

Having cross family curses matters because without them we seen the rise of people who specifically spawned as Eve just to attack places (Most arcs until recently specifically suffered from this and before that they'd spawn in with swords and just massacre towns.) I could honestly due without war because my god the sword has a history of being absolutely dumb. If you've never seen the video of me killing 16 people second handedly with the nerfed sword (can't attack every 10 seconds) or before that the original butter knife sword with Michael Punch I recommend checking that out.

I think its fair being able to curse people trying to raid because honestly I don't want to be around those kinds of people. Lazy, shortsighted, and likely just trolls. No reason to want to be around people whose idea of a good time is senselessly killing in "a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building."

Going to disagree. The ability to instantly give someone up to a 400 curse radius is way too strong for anyone to easily abuse in a quad group. It's much better to lean safely than to make it so you can potentially boost two peoples an hour curse score by 4.

How hard is it to just make a slowdown item instead of bunch of growling monkeys chasing a guy Benny Hill style? You shouldn't need a bunch of random people to be deputy and it's bad enough when you have one to two people standing around now you need them in the case of the big baaaad griffer.

Curse changes were good
Kill changes are in a good direction.

This is silly magic.

Giving twins+ more mechanics to help destroy towns is bad (you can only curse one, and now they get a speed bonus. Noice.)

Retiring names is a cool idea imo. If you last to the end of the arc maybe your Eve name gets on a "high score." For example: if Eve boots lives long enough you can't use the name for X amount of time while having a special section of the site devoted to you. This makes the name special along with those that helped you.

Yeah, probably should be able to rip the motor out of cars since they're kind of useless atm.

At the very least you can make an argument for using a car to get iron since you'd just be taking the engine in and out when mining for more iron.

Seconding this. At least having a bare minimal sentence prevents someone from just killing themselves as a donkey.

Why not just reintroduce a snowball-esque mechanic? Something that slows you down when hit so you can catch up to someone instead of trying to do some weird moving mechanic.

Maybe you toss a net on someone and they're slowed for 10-15 seconds (which is going to be slightly obvious because nets are big) or do something like that has been brought up before like a bolas? This allows for someone to be slowed and then you kill them. Of course these items need a decent amount of range otherwise the stalemate of running away from each other continues.

Players who are hit with a bolas or net drop their current held item until the status wears off in which they're then holding said item or maybe it just gets destroyed in the process (though that makes nets hella expensive to toss on people.) Though we still have an issue where you can't ever beat an armed bow if they growl first so maybe nets or bolas have range 4~5 so a bow isn't impossible to beat?

Like the movement speed mechanic sounds incredibly silly like absolutely silly. Can you imagine the proper way for a group to travel is for everyone to point their knives at the leader growling? I mean if they wanted to be safe they could travel with snowballs instead which again just breaks any sort of game immersion. "Okay guys anyone else coming to the next town over? Grab your knives and snowballs then follow me! Choo choo here comes the growling train."

Two round stones + rope = bolas
Net is already in the game.

As stated before: No arc name anywhere where you can look = hard to remember.

Right now it's sort of like a town with no name even if you remember the town is named Panic Revolt it's lost to the next generation.

Maybe put the current arc name on the homepage next to the years if possible? Maybe when you're born it gives you a current year + arc name? It needs to be clear so people can remember the arcs otherwise they blend together.

I mean there should be some basic time block to ensure abuse like suiciding as a donkey isn't a viable option to avoid punishment. We already have proof of this occurring and is still something that can happen even with the ban radius being extended. Spawn as a donkey? Just call out in the discord for someone to walk into the wilderness to try to birth you. This completely bypasses the whole system and all it requires is you have a friend to spawn you in somewhere on the map which defeats the purpose of 94 people cursing you.

While there might be various shades of grays in play scale isn't it safe to say someone who pisses off 94 people is clearly playing wrong? At the very least put some sort of restriction to keep people in DT if they don't reach old age as that at least puts a problematic player away for 46 minutes instead of being able to suicide in two minutes and potentially come straight back to the rift.

Rift still allows items to fly over.
