You realize that lady just wanted to start a war and kill both villages right?   Next time, curse her.

Gotta love people that don't like something and therefore want to ruin it for everyone else as well.
They'll always be around as long as it's easy for them to get away with that stuff.

Thank you for everybody trying to help me but I didn't make my problem very specific which is I dont know how to login. What I mean is that I dont know where to login for the the game itself and starting playing. Everything all of you told me is very useful but the underling issue for me is that I can't play because of this but I am still grateful for the advice I have received.

Download the game onto your desktop on computer. You should have a OHOL icon.
Click on this icon and run program, accept permissions etc
Once you do this, you should end up with a folder Onelife-v217.
Open folder and scroll down until you see a custom icon titled Onelife.
Double-click.
This should open the game
Use login info sent to email. Game should be ready.
Play tutorial.

So is there a graph or something that illustrates the amount of extra pips gained at end of life depending on your placing? Like 10 extra for 1-10, 8 extra for 10-30? Or maybe 10 extra for score over 58, 8 for score over 57, etc.?
Is there any other advantage to a high genetic score besides this? Or is that pretty much it?

-1 for the constant dramatic tone (most of the major issues are going to be fixed at some point)

Jason may solve some particular small set of issues, but won't really address core problems.  This game has been on consistent decline in terms of playerbase, and there exist a small handful of good updates since December.  Most of the technology wasn't useful when introduced.  An apoclaypse for no reason, which were never consistent with people playing for their lineage.  Then we had swords.  People coming together and leading to griefer Eves.  People complained, rightfully, about such as not consistent with a game about parenting and civlization *building* (at least raidos were compatible with building, even though they were NOT about parenting in the sense of making better lives for in game children).  The genetic score system had something to it, but not much.

Oh, and Jason had already seen evidence that bringing people together so that towns could easily get found by Eves lead to mass griefing.  Yet, he implemented a system that made such even more likely to happen.  People told, AND SHOWED, him that the problem was griefing.  And he responded by insisting that the problem could be solved by some time constraint, indicating that he didn't get the problem.

The whole rift idea also indicates a problem, since it limits potential growth.  The finite map idea never made a lick of sense, because of that limiting of potential player growth.

The game has continually declined in terms of player count: https://steamcharts.com/app/595690#All (even the green there will change shortly due to the recent dropoff).  And it dropped drastically recently:

http://northcountrynotes.org/latestGraph2.png

And instead of finding such sad, or taking such as a moment needed for self-reflection, Jason just laughed off such a precipitous drop.

On top of that, Jason should have hired help long ago, and I doubt he'll do that at any point in time.

And -1 for a positive attitude.  There is no cause for optimism when you have consistent negative information coming in (see above).  At least not with serious change that caters to players' preferences.  Something that Jason has repeatedly spit in the face of, for example, with his reluctance to implement a choice screen for players, showing that he disrespects player's making their own choices.

Dodge wrote:

Keep in mind that appart from behing passionate it's also his livelihood, you have to pay the bills some way at the end of the day.

Jason wrongfully believes that he's the greatest game designer ever and has only said that he will continue development to the end of 2019.  He just does what he did before.  He just lives off of the proceeds of his last game and makes a new one, anticipating the next one will work out well for him financially.  Doing that may even interest him more, as he certainly doesn't like listening to opinions of his playerbase as he has repeatedly made clear, and making a new game doesn't have a playerbase to listen to.  No, there is no reason to believe that Jason has to fix the game with respect to core issues.

And he's probably not interested in doing such either, because it would mean that he would have to give up on concepts as viable, recognize inconsistencies in the game, listen to the playerbase, respect their preferences, and no doubt hire help.

He did give access to the game. THOL will probably live on even if he drops OHOL at the end of the year. And someone could always create their own server and continue with the game, improving and tweaking the original concept. Maybe the game will end up with atomic powered robots, just not with Jason at the helm?

I saw two of those spots. Looked like one was getting ready to be tapped as I was heading back to town. Got side tracked leading a bear further away, so by the time I got into the town, I was able to give babies my clothes and die. Looks like the Joy family did very well.
So many old age deaths.

I was born Jace Joy in a starting village. They were putting up a fence. I left before it was done to get BP and more clothes. I set up a little camp south, and made myself a full set of clothes and a BP. I had a nice setup. No one bothered me. When I got old, I went back to the village. It had grown. And the gate was up. I never got access. Someone nice let me in, and I was able to give all my clothes to some babies as well as a basket of cooked rabbits. That was a great life.

Hey man, I had 3 minutes and I starved. Didn't hear the STARVING bells.
You get Maple leaf, Juniper bundle, bundle of kindling, long shaft, and bow drill. Use bow drill on longshaft, then use leaf on smoking long shaft, then put it on juniper bundle. As soon as it starts to smoke well, put kindling on it and you have fire!
Sorry again. Thought I had enough time to show and let you try

#62 Re: Main Forum » Just gonna be nice. » 2019-08-13 04:52:47

I'm just gonna keep doing it if I can. Gonna try to get off away from them and start taking off my stuff as fast as I can and hopefully they'll see it. If I come to a town and old, I'll just strip down at the gate and hopefully someone'll end me.

If you're out in the middle of nowhere, and you see me on a horse with a sword, believe it or not, I'm not gonna kill you. It's your lucky day!  I'm gonna give you all my stuff. Just promise to kill me once I've given you everything if I also gave you a sword. And live a fun life, whatever that may entail. Pass the love on when you're old if you want. Just give some rando in the middle of nowhere your stuff. And give them some love.

this place could need more bears but really, i could not care less.
because the game currently is the pathethic choice between either starving in a village, or getting randomly murdered outside of it at a young age (or randomly murdered within a city)

rift shows the game is bropken beyond repair.
rift was an attempt to find shortcomings in balancing/scarcity and there sure are just too many of those.
all it uncovers is that the balancing of ohol is more holes than chese.

LUL at could need more bears. That was good
But I've been thinking. If there wasn't near as much griefing, a lot of those problems would go away, even with the rift. Other than needing it to be a little easier to find iron and milkweed, you can survive, unless you get murdered. Towns could survive, if they didn't turn into cages due to fear of griefers. The environment would even replenish and flourish, if not for the griefing of specific items. Think about it. What's the root cause? I do root cause analysis for a living as a Quality Inspector. The common denominator in 99% of these cases is greifing.

Three lives in a row. Looked promising, ended with murder. Didn't live past 15. One in a nice town where my mom didn't even feed me, it was another kid. Got murdered by some guy with a knife.

Second life, got clothes, a bag, mom nice, family nice. Some decked out eve leads bears to town and stabs someone. I run back to tell everyone. Then I try to lead bears back out, and she is there. Stabs me and I'm done.

Third life, get old enough, no food currently so as soon as I can, I go outside. Some guy with horse and cart stabs me.
How do I get to the Community Crucible server? This one is way too toxic. It isn't even the rift anymore, just some likely butthurt aholes that want to 'teach everyone a lesson'
You're not making the game better, you're killing it.

MY HOME!!!!

I started there about 11 to 12 days ago, I felt I wasn't good enough for BS2 and needed practice. (I now know its not me) I ran right for the SouthEast corner it drew me in, it called my name. I played alone... for hours, for days it seemed like forever but I was having so much fun! I wasn't being murdered, I wasn't popping babies out like a Pez dispenser, I was able to learn without ruining anything. I begged a friend, Wasabi_Tonic,  to play with me and he did... we built, he streamed and we had a blast had a few randos come in and play too. We learned without fear, without judgement and this has been the best in game experience i have had... Playing with one, recently more, play/ers that are caring and kind and an amazing family... this is the game I bought. This is the game I wanted to play.

I watched so many people come in in the past few days and learn something new, I love that! This has been my favorite place and what I will strive for if I ever feel BS2 is playable.

Man I wish I could get there. I'm somewhat new and so far, I haven't found many helpful players. Almost every place I am born to is full of very short tempered people that have no room for mistakes of any kind. Or they just starve you as a baby to get you gone

One of the first times I played, my mom asked me if I was new. I said yes, and she walked me over away from her camp and told me to stay. She never came back. I starved. Maybe she didn't want to mess with it? Or just griefing, I don't know.

Maybe make chainmail or something similar? If you're wearing it, you can get hit two times maybe before it breaks? It could be somewhat difficult to craft, but will not decay unless it has been hit twice? I imagine even then it would be difficult to counter for anyone other than experienced players? I don't know just a thought.

#75 Re: Main Forum » Sad » 2019-08-06 03:25:02

I kind of agree on it being a lot of the players at fault. I read another post on here earlier that brought up the lack of good communication between players (minus discord, but it's not in game) and the problem of having anonymity for every player. Maybe those things would help some? If there was better, or at the least, a faster, more efficient way to communicate, and a way to identify potential griefers before they have destroyed a town, maybe it would be less irritating, and you would still get the 'drama', just not at the high levels currently taking place. There are plenty of issues, but those things I see pop up quite a bit more than most.
I bought my son this game early this year, and have played a few times, and watched plenty of Twisteds videos, but finally bought my own account. I have tried to play in the rift on mine and my sons accounts several times in the last few days, and needless to say, it has not been the most enjoyable experience. Most of my lives I either starved as a baby, got murdered with the rest of the town, or ended up with very impatient players that had no time for a newbie. So I went back to the tutorial area and I have not left. I don't feel like I can effectively play on the rift currently. I have played on my sons account before the rift, and it seemed much more pleasant, even with the challenges that existed before. I don't think the rift is a bad idea. I don't think war swords, and war, and griefing are bad things. I think being overwhelmed with all of these things on a constant basis is not fun at all though.
The game needs some tweaking it seems like. I hope it gets it. And I hope it doesn't take too long. I hope I didn't waste 20 on a game I don't enjoy. I will keep my faith for now though. (Evidently, if I just purchased another account lol) I see a lot of opportunity for great things, and I hope that will be the case.
