The more we are, the more we will laugh

I find it disproportionate that an entire race can translate everything ... they should only be random people, such as when a person has a facility to learn languages ... that would encourage communication and a new profession / role would be added

Today I played 2 lives and at 2 I had contact with other foreign families and I was surprised that we could understand each other without problem ... is this normal? Have languages been neglected?

Another problem I experienced is that when I located another family away from my place of birth, I lost my marker to my hometown ...
my original signal was replaced by this new town found (luckily I almost always travel in a straight line and I could return to my city)

About animals, in the area of my city there were no animals of any kind, but I traveled about 10 minutes to the east and there I began to see animals
this only happened in one of the 2 families / cities lived
in the other city the behavior of the animals was normal

yes! ... the game has become more repetitive and boring now ...
if you want to change homework or just kill a griefer and you don't have any more skill slots ... forget!
Also the cities are full of noobs eating berries and if you are an expert player you must do everything .... without any help ... something impossible right now with this new system
OHOL fun has been limited again

You say that right now, thanks to this update we observe that: "The survival of the city depended on a few players who did everything, while most of the other players were inactive or doing trivial things."

this is not true ... new players and "sponge" players have been in the game for a long time and it is a problem that has long been detected

You also say this:
Now that each player has more value as an individual, we can see that the previous system had flaws and needs to be improved to adapt to each player who has a more important role to play.

We already knew that the system had failures with collaborative tasks long before this update

For all this I think that this update was not necessary right now ... just generated more frustration

My thought about OHOL's priority task is that it be fun again, that EVES challenges and its early camps return, that cities don't disappear, the crack is annoying in many ways ... when the game is fun again, the players will play it again ... and it is at that moment that these mechanics have to be modified ... but not now

In your theories about the end of the arcs do you talk about child suicides (a historical problem in OHOL) currently with the new skill system nobody can´t build a city from 0 ... if you try to create a satellite city but all your children commit suicide, forget ...
since the hated rift has been implemented, it makes no sense to have a suicide system ... if someone wants to return to their old city, they just have to wait to become self-sufficient and walk 5 minutes along the rift until they reach their old project or family
The / die system only serves to teleport to other cities instantly

A few days ago I tried to create a satellite city to the north-west of the rift and all my children committed suicide one after another ... I ended up returning to my hometown without success, because I had no more space to raise sheep (bow)

Child suicides is only a reflection of the real problem in OHOL ..., there are NO real collaboration mechanisms, nor trade in OHOL ... players continue to carry out their personal projects without caring about the rest of the tasks in the cities

These "improvements" have only further limited the fun at OHOL
All this has caused that if you want to continue a project that you have left half by lack of skills, you just have to commit suicide

Currently we do not have early play, we can not evade the big cities, there are no survival challenges, the genetic score does not work well, the exploration is laughing, the PVP another heavy joke, the maps are unnecessary in a closed space of 5 minutes per on each side, the "secondary" tasks (french fries, letters, ketchup, dogs, etc ...) are no longer performed because nobody is going to use a skill for this

The game has become very repetitive and boring

If I'm writing this, it's because I want OHOL to be great and be a great game ... if I wasn't interested ... I wouldn't be writing anything

Jason, have you ever considered implementing something similar to what I said long ago in this post?
I think it would largely eliminate the boring lives of big cities and create collaboration situations between players ...
With these disasters it would not be necessary to restart the arc every week

Sorry for refloating a post from 1 year ago, but I think this makes more sense to implement it now than a year ago

Spoonwood and other players give their vision of the game and development because anyone can give their opinion of the current state of the game

I agree on many things that Spoonwood says, he is realistic

Surely you do not like how it is expressed, but he is very right on many points

I would worry more when there is no one left to give his point of view of the game (negative or positive)

Sometimes we don't value others' opinions correctly
sometimes we despise the thoughts of the other players ...
But the reality remains the same ...

if I have also seen the cities oversaturated with backpacks and it is absurd ... but I must remind you that this is a consequence of putting everyone in a box (rift) and it will happen with everything that regenerates automatically ...
The sheep are also endless and the berries ... many elements regenerate automatically

a backpack should not be a precious object ... if we become a jewel we will frustrate the few remaining players ... especially the new ones

if we have excess backpacks, it is as simple as lowering the rabbits respawn

this also indicates that there will only be one way to get a backpack ... rabbits ...
we have airplanes ... but we have to keep hunting rabbits like in Neolithic to get a backpack ... this won't evolve? No new materials will be created to get "futuristic" backpacks?

Articles that nobody has requested to change are being changed, but I still do not see trade, new players, or a development with a clear objective.

I ask myself a question ... has iron reduction generated trade? Has it generated interesting stories? Has anyone seen player migrations heading to an iron mine to reestablish nearby? or ... have epic battles for iron control been created? ...
... none of this has happened, only the EVE game has been eliminated and the game of players who want to create satellite cities has disappeared ...

the same will happen with this ...

I'm sorry but I don't like this ... a lot of people are complaining about the rift and this post is intended to make a bigger rift ...

This does not solve any current problem of the game, it will not create more fun, more survival, or new challenges, (heck, do not even move now to get water 50 squares away!)

Let's make a "live" map as in Age of Empires that can be transferred from generation to generation! for example! or let's make earthquakes that generate cracks where we must create bridges to cross them! but the rift is a simple (and underdeveloped) idea to a basic problem in the game
