One Hour One Life Forums

Thanks Jason for that review ...

Anyway, I would like to ask your thoughts about baby suicides and if you plan to create some punishment / curse with this?
Currently the population of OHOL players uses this system (/ DIE) to "travel" to a city more suited to that player
this causes extinctions of early lineages and overcrowded cities

Child suicide is more harmful than a single person with a knife or a griefer

I think all the damage a griefer can do is repairable
even a murderer can only kill a person before suffering a large mobility penalty
if the city takes advantage of this mobility penalty the killer is eliminated without complications

but child suicide can not be countered in any way
in a single day I have registered 3000 infant Suicides ....

I think the numbers have skyrocketed and I think it should be countered in some way

Additionally, I would like to comment that the current curse system should also be revised
I have seen new players try to create objects, feathers, etc ... and other more "experienced" players curse them and kill them because they think they are trolls or griefers
He's a new player! It's not fair ... Why should he be punished? this is a reality now
Lately I do not see players in a virtual family, the only thing I see are robots from an assembly line
and if these robots examine your work and do not execute it as they want, they curse you and kill you

it seems that they are playing factorio and not OHOL
They only think about productivity and efficiency ... but a family is not like that

I do not think it's fair Jason

Can you tell me who was the streamer? I would like to see it, ty

If JK Howling, I recognize that the / die command is not the problem of all this ... I've been playing OHOL for 1 year and I remember when it still did not exist / die
I remember the children running out alerting all the bears they found while committing suicide

people commit suicide for many reasons ... but above all because they can do it without penalties
using the / die command or running away allows you to travel to the perfect city for any player
It should not be so easy to commit suicide to get to the desired city

about the problem of curses, I think that OHOL players do not know how to use it correctly
they curse other players in an absurd way for reasons that they perform on each play
they curse others without thinking ... often paying attention to other players they have not seen in 40 minutes

I have had children who at 2/3 years commit suicide, and I have also lived baby chases among wolves and bears
I have been angry many times, but I have never used my curse token in these situations.

Why have not I cursed these players?
because this player is only the last player of a lineage full of suicidal children who have run out of the arms of their mothers to "travel" to another city more desirable
that player is just one more piece of a big puzzle

and yes ... It's frustrating to end up with and old, with every child of yours having died in your arms, because they did not like what they saw
What is the use of spending 60 minutes in an early camp, working hard to find a good location, a good early farm, and basic tools
worried that all their children have enough food ... so that in the end ALL their children have committed suicide
What fun is that? I'm sure he'll be happy to be EVE for another 60 minutes ...

I do not force anyone to play with me ...
but OHOL is a family survival game, this is not simcity

I never thought I would agree with a griefer ... but it is true, the current system of curses does not work correctly
yesterday I was born as the only female of an early camp ...

My mother called me hope ... (I did not like that much, but still I did not say anything)

I asked my mother if it was new, since she had seen that she did not move from the fire and did not want to spend 60 minutes working for a sponge noob (again not)
He answered that it was not new, but I did not believe it ...

When I was able to let go of my mother's arms, I went for a walk around the camp, to see what was needed ... my mother thought I was committing suicide and she cursed me ...
That angered me a lot, I've never been rude, I've never created chaos, I never killed myself in this kind of situation because it would bother me if that happened to me.

At this point, I wanted to end the lineage ... only for revenge to my mother, but I did not i did not hurt anyone, I did not hide anything, I did not call the bears ... nothing ... just wait to grow enough to see how that lineage continued
neither my brother nor my mother trusted me very much ... and I understand ... but I've never been a bad person, there was no reason to curse me when I was a baby ..

I'm tired of reading in this forum that nobody can force you to live in an early camp where I do not want to live
I see many users of this forum who believe that the / die system is positive and do not see any problem with the practice of child suicide
I also see the statistics of deaths by / die and they are very high ... in short we ALL use the / die but then it bothers us to lose the lineage and we decided to curse the babies ...
this has a name HYPOCRISY!

My story continued in this camp with a normal life
my mother had another daughter, my sister, and she was amazing, efficient and good person
finally I stayed in the camp and helped in everything I could, my sister deserved it.
I killed a nephew Griefer and I had an AFK daughter who had offspring, but all my granddaughters ended up committing suicide (as usual in this game)

It's over..
something has changed in me with this game ...

possibly this will be my last life as a good person ...

from now on I will create chaos
I do not want to be a hero again that supports the camps and cities full of sponges and griefers
I do not want to die alone again, because all the idiot babies end up committing suicide
I do not want the YUM bonus and good temperature to get many children who end up committing suicide one after another because the city or camp does not fit your ideal camp
I do not want to live surrounded by robots

I know how to do evil
I do not need a knife to create chaos
It will be fun, but only for me

This is a survival game ... and the players of this game are very badly used to being able to choose the city or camp where to live
they are also very badly used to cursing for no reason

OHOL is a survival game where players are born in a bespoke city selected by themselves (by force) and become robots on an assembly line ... in cities with a multitude of food and resources, but even so they complain because they are not able to grow milkweed ... they are not able to get on a horse and travel to look for cotton or iron ... players so comfortable and lazy that they prefer to request everything to Jason before looking for it themselves

curse without any reason generates more pain
generates more griefers
maybe donkey town is not as horrible as it seems

Now I understand Jason's vision of this game ...

if I understand it MultiLife ... I do not intend to force anyone to play in a city or camp ... but this practice of baby suicides is spreading, and the EVES or the last females of a lineage can not counteract in any way.

if this trend continues like this ... nobody will want to live in a early camp ... or ... no one will want to live in a city with murders, or simply with dead bodies on the floor, or messy

the EVE races will be more and more impossible and the players will end up getting discouraged, because let's be honest ... who likes to be 60 minutes creating a good camp if he ends up dying alone ...

Please, Jason! add a circle of options / Ring menu ... so that players who do not speak English can play fluently!
assigning permissions with the current system of / commands is a great disadvantage for players who do not write in English natively
I am not using the new facial expressions because I must write each of my expressions and it is very slow and tedious to write so many / commands

please Jason, do this as simple as possible ... not all players in this game speak or write English fluently ... also write in the game is a little complicated

I think Jason's a good idea ... but make it simple for everyone!

maybe it's a good time to implement a circle of options /ring menu (Something similar to Commo Rose in Battlefield or Rust)
not for building or crafting! ... only to show expressions and to assign permissions on objects

If in OHOL you are able to make a smithy, an oven and have sheep ... you do not need anything else to survive

few people care if you build a car or a radio ... because they are not necessary at all

I understand when an experienced player decides to generate chaos in a city

it becomes a circle of life ...
1.- generate chaos
2.- Assassinate lineages
3.- Donkey town
4.- constructive lives in donkey town
5.- Donkey town exit
6.- return to chaos

I think it overestimates the current buildings ... currently the buildings are built because they are easy to make, and can be made by a single person ... but they are not essential to survive ... and I am sure that this construction complicates. .. we will see the same buildings as radios or airplanes ...

for this to work you must make the most necessary buildings

I have thought about adding Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter / climatology

Making the winters very hard ... with deaths from hypothermia

in these situations if a building is needed and if a collaboration between players is possible ...

but right now the collaboration between players is not necessary

just look at the number of planes, cars or radios that are scattered on the map ... how many cars have been created this week?

Creating a car is a task that requires some cooperation between players, but it is not essential or necessary ... that's why they are not built ...

I also totally agree with what DestinyCall says,
And as I said in the other post about Jason's wars ... We need to create families !!!

The citizens of OHOL look like robots in an assembly line, there is no family, there are no family ties !! ...

When I started playing this game, the mothers acted more like a mother ... I felt that the other player was really getting involved with his baby
lately 80% of times I was born ... I am thrown into the fire in a room full of people and I never see my mother again ...

I try to give a piece of clothing to my children to create a special bond with them ... but it's not enough ...

and something similar happens with the skeletons of people (hated and loved) always left without caring anyone!
I've even seen posts in this forum that recommend not dying in a bakery or a blacksmith shop so you do not have to lift the bones and throw them in another place so that "no bother anyone "

Without saying that, burying a dead person bothers many people because they ruin a shovel!

also as they have said in the other post, sometimes you come across graves of people who will never know what you did, or who you were ... it's just a gravestone under a tree

Some time ago I proposed creating photo cameras ... to create permanent photos with the name below ... or at least that you can write with the current pencil already created to place the name or the annotation that one wishes for future generations

Or at least be able to mark a grave as "EVE"

It would be interesting that the tree of generations on the web have more data, that you can see more information about how the family was after his death
It would also be good to have special family objects to be able to transmit to your children and maybe also the possibility of better identifying the members of your family (tattoos, brands, etc ...)

In short ... it is not necessary to change the mechanics of births and rebirths
I do not want to be born again and again in the same family
that is the beauty of this game ... new life, new family, new challenges !!

If the game is about families
and Jason wants to create families that exist for many generations
it is necessary to create mechanics that allow us to know more about the lives of our ancestors
and about those around us (the living and the dead)

something that tells us what your great-great-grandmother did
or the epic journey of Uncle Bob
or when your brother Tarr was a serial killer

right now these family stories are forgotten after 5 minutes ....
there are no mechanisms to preserve or explain those stories

ahh and writing them on a 10-word sheet is useless ... very few people read those notes, there's no time for that.

that's why griefers are annoying, that's why murderers are not welcome in OHOL, because they only bother the work of "robots" (citizens)
they interrupt the creator of tools, or the one who produces compost, or the one who plants carrots ... and they do not contribute anything special ...
your stories will be lost after 5 minutes of chaos ...

I believe that wars generate good stories, and in the right doses it can be a good addiction...

But I don't think OHOL is currently prepared to have wars.

The main problem I see at OHOL is what Jason calls "families."
I never really feel like I'm in a family.

Most of the time my mother abandons me / parks in a campfire and a babysitter or some other child feeds me so I don't starve to death.
and although sometimes my mother accompanies me throughout my childhood, she only parked in a campfire with me in my arms without a word.
In relation to my "family" or people of the town or city... they are only individuals who perform individual tasks, annoying each other when someone invades the little space that remains or taking objects that someone else needs, each one carrying out his own task, without anyone's collaboration, without hardly speaking to anyone or relating to anyone... sometimes you only see text messages asking the blacksmith to create a specific tool... but honestly I don't see it in too many...
occasions... if someone needs something, you end up doing it yourself.

for me this kind of character dance for 60 minutes is not a family, do not create links

just like Jason says, sometimes I just look at the genealogical tree to see if my sons/daughters follow the lineage much more... (and most of the time they don't last more than 2 generations, after mine)
Babies do not stop committing suicide and it is a bit frustrating to have 6 children and only 2 live to 30, the rest .... death subita

There are no families here... and if there are no families there can be no tribes, no factions, not even united cities.

Logically if there is none of this... neither can there be wars between cities... only a few murderers or griefers who generate a little internal chaos in the cities ... but nothing else

And this is only one of the many things that hold OHOL back in this aspect and in aspects such as trade, or politics, etc...

There is no collaboration between the characters, there are no mechanics that unite the citizens of a city and it really feels like a real collaboration ... with a common goal and a result visible to everyone ...

Currently if someone builds a house it is very possible that this person ends the house at the end of his life ... neither he, nor his closest relatives enjoyed that house .....
Only distant relatives will enjoy them... that's why people work on individual jobs... because everyone has a different vision of what is best for a city... there is no common goal....
We do not even bury the elderly who have done a great job such as finishing a hospital or finishing a bakery ... we only lift their bones off the ground if they bother us and we throw them in another place

Even if someone sees you burying the bodies, they can be annoyed because you are breaking the shovel .... this does not generate family ties ...
the citizens of many cities look like robots

Apart from this thought, I also believe that UNIQUE articles should be created that generate some kind of benefits for the city
for example craftear some statues that generate more bonus of YUM to the inhabitants of that city, or more births to women, harder crops, more pleasant temperatures
these statuettes (style indiana Jones stones in the cursed temple...Sankara Rocks) if they can be a reason for envy of other cities

Currently people create sanctuaries in cities, but there is no object in the game that accompanies this practice ... (with real results and with a goal) currently it is only an imaginary role play ... with these objects let's make it real!

Mental note: and if to create these objects we need the murder of several babies that are not of our lineage?

I'm very happy to buy the game and still enjoy it, but if the game wants to get more, Jason must create a real team game...
