One Hour One Life Forums

I sympathize, I've had the game make changes I don't approve of as well, but that's the beauty of it. It's not your game or my game, we're just along for the ride. But I can't sympathize with your desires, all those things are stuff you do when you have nothing better to do. You've taken care of survival and are just sitting on your bear skin rug in your mansion. What now? Guess I'll fight a war or watch some sports.

If I wanted warfare, I'd play a war game. If I wanted sports, I'd play a sports game. If I wanted prisons, I'd play prison architect or something. If I wanted to build a civilization I have full control over, I'd play a civilization builder. I like the challenge and struggle to grow and advance, and I hope the game never gets to a point where the only enjoyment left is role playing something else. That is pre-apocalypse OHOL, which (as someone who played a lot of pre-apocalypse OHOL) I'm grateful is gone...for the most part anyway. I also hope stuff like map wipes are never gotten rid of. I'd honestly like to see it cranked up, like if your city dies, it's gone forever. But different folks and all that.

I would also recommend you take a look at 2HOL, seems like it'd be up your alley.

I suppose that depends on who you ask, I think the decay update was a great idea (aside from baskets). And there were a lot of players that weren't happy during the "pre-apocalypse level happy" phase. Sure, the minecraft kids loved it and inevitably threw a fit when it was implemented, but quite a few enjoyed the game more after the apocalypse.

Exactly, and it would make it easier if you are resettling an old settlement, or if you find someone's basket in the wilderness. I think it's nice to know that things break because I'm actually using them. Right now if someone makes a basket, gets stabbed by a boar, and dies with basket behind tree, that basket will potentially never see use. Let's say a few generations later, maybe 12 hours, someone is cutting down those trees. He finds the basket, but it's all broken, having never even once been used. There are tons of other scenarios similar to this where these baskets hardly ever, if ever, get used. That just kind of sucks in my opinion.

Now sure, you lose the ten hours of "god basket", but I think that's a fair trade off. A lot of these baskets aren't even being used 80% of the time, they're just sitting there. Anyway, it probably wont be implemented, and I'm not saying it should, but it's nice to see that people can see the potential.

Yeah, I agree. We should get rid of them both

So, no thoughts on whether this change would be better or worse? Well, this forum just keeps turning out to be a bummer

Of course, that goes without saying. You make it seem like they're mutually exclusive. We could have both and things could be wonderful. If you're talking about using a box to hold 4 carrots or 4 thread...I mean, okay?...That just seems absurd to me.

Yes, I suppose. Maybe I'm just being lazy, but it would be nice. I suppose I have at least learned a use for a sledge, seeing as they're probably not going anywhere. So net profit.

I suppose I hadn't thought about the fact that no one would take a sledge. They wouldn't even get very far if they did.

I mean, I wouldn't really consider them being "great" for anything, let alone soil runs. But it is interesting to hear that at least a few people use them, albeit hard to imagine. And while you may not have wheels at the moment, they're not terribly difficult to get if your already at boxes.

Well, as it stands right now, they're more than just a transition from box to cart. You can still use them, even if they're not really practical. And I personally think you wouldn't need any tools to remove it, just hand + sledge = box & shaft. This is, of course, assuming that the use of sledges were removed. And as far as griefing, I mean moving boxes that are sitting somewhere for a reason. For example, as part of a wall, or sitting next to a forge/oven full of iron or pies.  As it stands right now, the only preventative measure is to make it a chest.

By the gods, Hiya Sun. I shouted you out on the very first version of this post. Good to see you, thanks again for humoring me
Also, I never planned on killing anyone after I won our duel. Shame that guy stabbed me immediately.

I realize that now, thank you for helping to clarify. I guess I have to admit to my sins and become a changed man. In all seriousness though, I don't find enjoyment in ruining other people's fun. Which is why I don't believe I'm a griefer. I don't do any for the sake of ruining it for someone else.

And to be honest, I said that as a joke. Otherwise I would've never said it. Hell, you probably wouldn't have even seen me until it was too late. But I don't know, it just seemed fitting. A few people laughed, so I'll take it. And this gives me the chance to clarify. I didn't mean that people don't put in work to get a city livable again. I know as well as anyone what needs to be done to rebuild a city. But it's not nearly to the same degree. If the people first made it ran a marathon, the people who fixed it up went for a jog around the block. That's why people do it.

Now that's their choice, that all well and good. I just don't really want to be a part of it. But I have recently thought of a way to benefit all people with my curse of repeatedly being born in the same city over and over again, through 3 or 4 generations. I get to work on roses! Consider me rehabilitated >:]

Ahhh, now that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.

Well, first off, I would like to say that you misquoted me. But, after talking with the wonderful forum members, I realize that I must have misspoken. There was no correlation between me killing a city repeatedly, and my complaint that death didn't mean anything. I realize now, that I mistakenly created one. I would like to apologize. My comments on death not meaning anything doesn't come from me wanting to destroy, but from me wanting the things I make to matter. To be precious and irreplaceable.

I get what you're saying and where you're coming from. I don't think that you shouldn't be able to rebuild, but I felt like that was something that was becoming so token. Not just from greifer attacks, but even natural causes like negligence or just plain bad luck.

And I am quite familiar with tedium, given my younger employment history. And I guess I am just "blessed" to be born in the same town over and over again, just only the ones I don't want to be. I hope that I might be able to transfer the blessing to you. Thank you letting me see from your perspective.
