One Hour One Life Forums

What heals tragedy is time. Joking about it and trying to dilute it isnt going to do anything. The scars from history last a long time and take a while to fade. Trying to normalizing it is a distasteful and naive effort.

Grouping them would also guarentee that new players would hardly ever get to be eve or be born to eves. In the early days of playing eve runs and early settlements were what really got me intune with the fabric of the game.

Big towns can be really overwhelming and for fresh eyes it can be hard to see how everything interlocks. At least that was the case for me. I think diversity of lives is an essential part of this game and i would hate to see more options removed due to genetic score.

I like this idea

Good to hear, just learned about the sid baby thing. Very pleased about that.

You ever heard of the civil rights movement or women suffrage? I personally would consider that bringing something to the table...

You seem equally triggered by others being offended by a symbol. I agree society shouldnt be filtered or oppressed in their expression but CatX's referenced post makes a strong point. I recommend letting your personal offense go, bring up your valid point about the cultural aspects of symbols and freedom of expression and leave it at that. Attacking others for their beliefs and belittling them is just as distasteful as what you are offended by. Some might even call it a pathetic cry for attention...

Yea i think structures need a massive buff. I really miss perfect temp and making buildings efficient at creating near perfect temp would be great. Could encourage more building which I'm all for.

Big buildings housing a bakery or smith could be really cool. An emphasis on the structure and layout of a town is something i feel has been missing from the game. Beyond keeping raiders out there is little purpose to walls.

Another odd thing that has been bugging me for quite a while is that diagonal walls are highly inefficient. I know the gap mechanism is essential for sheep pens and such but being fixed to square builds really limits creativity. Ive thought about just planting trees on the inside to save on stone but that leaves it vulnerable to griefers and with the current water situation it would likely be a waste of resources.

Diagonal roads were huge and saved on so much potentially wasted material. Would be nice to see walls given the same opportunity. If pens were not completely reliant on the gap mechanism i feel like this fix would be easy but since its so essential i have no clue how it could be a possibility. Any ideas?

I really like this idea. Maybe a bit more of a speed boost over stone roads. Perhaps they decay as well if people dont tred upon them for 24 hours. Since asphalt is quite soft, to make up for that speed boost. Cool idea, i think something similar has been mentioned before. A good way to encourage road building.

I love all of this except eve runs being dependent on genetic score. Genetic score counts for almost nothing and relies on having competent players as kids.

You can spend almost all your life with a new player, teaching and taking care of them but leave them for a few minutes and they die, bringing down your score. Dump a few veteran players at age three and suddenly your score goes up considerably. It's pure luck.

Refinements need to be made to genetic score evaluations before it influences any more aspects of the game. Tools slots are enough of a hindrance already. Limiting players is only going to make the experience more mundane. Either make genetic score easier and more reliable to grow or make it influenced by other factors like societal progress.

If you make a huge difference for a town or family that should count for something. It would motivate players to not just simply sit around having babies but to make strides in providing for society as well. Perhaps food and resource processing could count towards your score. Individual score would count the most and perhaps a fraction of it would be influenced by what your children and grandchildren provide.

I dont understand how your mother dying can bring down your score and the fact that anyone who dies after you die counts against your score. How could you even influence something like that? Long story short it needs to be refined before it influences any more aspects of the game, as it stands its quite broken.

Dodge, it seems like you would like this game to turn into something completely different than it already is. Instead of complaining about other people's opinions, changing the subject, and stirring up pointless arguments you could try respectfully swaying people to your point of view instead. Just a thought.

This is just a game built to be entertaining. If people have differing opinions that is good. Resistance makes us stronger. If changes effect the degree to which people find enjoyment out of the game it is important those things are addressed.

It's not unreasonable for someone to have twenty jobs within sixty years. Especially if they dedicate years of their lives to each one. What is kinda unreasonable is only being able to learn how to use six to eight tools within sixty years. I personally like the pace of the game, it's exciting. The real issue i find is we reach the progression ceiling very quickly. Instead of trying to stagnate that process wouldn't it be far more interesting to extend the length of that progression?

I agree tremendously. The eve experience has degraded bit by bit for a while now. Once the highlight of the game it has eroded to the point of barely mattering. For a while the momentum of an eve run could make or break a town or bloodline. One of my favorite things about this game was hunting down a viable spot and forging the foundation for future generations. At first i wanted to see my bloodline succeed but grew tired of petty things like that and only care about making the region a powerhouse no matter who is there. Its a beautiful thing to see your influence effect future generations and how it carves a mark on society. These are the reasons i continue to play this game. How i fell in love with eve running goes back to when the server glitched out (everything you built would despawn within five to ten minutes and food was unlimited). What might appear as a hellscape to some was a beautiful opportunity for me. I was still pretty new to the game at the time and it gave me the space and leniency to explore and discover uncharted environments and resources i had never witnessed before. It gave me an understanding of the different biomes and a thirst to explore i had never experience before. The result of this glitch was a rag tag family adventuring through the wastes discovering unknown lands and banding together against any environment. We stuck together conversing and sharing our knowledge and perspective while maintaining a nomadic and perilous existence. We traveled kilometers together, exploring and discovering uncharted lands. I miss these elements of the game more than anything. I used to take pride in the fact i could hunt down a city within half a kilometer in any direction. I dont know how many ghost towns i found back in the day but it felt so good to stumble upon them, no matter how simple. Long story short the old eve runs were something to behold and lately its felt like they have been stripped of their glory. It took skill to build a civilization and it took skill to hunt one down, now it only feels like luck and all ability to make a difference is consumed by this stupid tool slot bs. If effort was put forth to create the same exigency for middle to late game as apposed to subduing early game this game would be charged to a completely different magnitude. Probably one of the most unique and amazing games ive ever played and honestly glory to you Jason. The criticisms come from a place of love, at least from me. You created probably one of the most unique concepts for a game with endless potential. Never give up on it.

That's good to hear. My concerns lie more with that overlap and our ability to fill a void if needs must. If your baker is old and there isnt another to fill that void it fall upon another player to teach someone (usurping their tasks) and spend essential time simply doing that without the ability to show what needs to be done. I dont like the restriction and i would prefer a mechanic that promotes inclusivity and learning as opposed to something that exiles a player from completing a task.

When i run as a baby its because i want to /die out of the way so my mom doesnt have to deal with my bones. Teasing the mom and making them chase you is another matter all together. When i see a baby run i let them.
