Game Development: Gemology

[MagicManICT]

/sproing!!!! Shinies!!! I feel a dwarven urge to strike the earth!

That said, gem cutting could be a bit more of a mini-game.

Sounds like an awesome update! Shame I'm such a terrible miner

[Granger]

[*] Rings -- and, for now, only rings -- can be gilded using Gemstones. We want to expand that to clothes as well, but want to contemplate a bit on how.
[*] A bit rushed, so there are a couple of things missing here in terms of graphics, sound when crafting, stockpile for gems, cheaper rings made of wood and stone, &c. Will iterate!

Please introduce rings out of wood and lesser metals asap to make the gems not pointless for the average players that don't have a deep mining industry (thus are devoid of precious metals).

[*]Rest assured that a Jotun Brilliant Diamond is a rare, but nice, thing.

Only rare for the ones who have a life and had to sleep in the time between you pushing the update and fixing the RNG.

[*] Pumpkin lanterns should no longer decay on claims. Reported here.

While nice, it's just another band-aid: viewtopic.php?p=751556#p751556

[*] We are considering, especially so in light of this patch, but regardless, introducing diminishing returns when slotting the same item type in several pieces of clothing (i.e. bear tooth in everything). Let us know how you'd feel about that.

Please no, gildings already suck bad enough for hermits.

Apart from that it's nice to see additions to the underground.

Kh-khm, slimes still work like that

That's odd, that should be fixed. I'll have to look into that.

In actual fact, it doesn't, but perhaps their intervals of attacking is too small to be meaningful. Will considering increasing it.

Just mined out 7 slimes from 1 tile and in one moment I was hit on 200 hp.
They still over-aggressive.
I summoned my warrior and while fighting, 7 turned into 23. Kinda crazy.
Also, while initial 7 was at 164q, all "splitted" new slimes turned out to have q20. Feels like bug.

Bear tooth in everything is not OP at all.

It's more that it's ugly, to be honest.

maybe rework gildings a bit so that they have restrictions on what types of clothing they can go on?

One of the reasons gilding was implemented in the first place is so not everyone in high end PvP is forced into the same clothes. No.

[tyrtix]

wait, so everyone getting mad for a content that only the biggest villages and players can actually use? Because... if gems can be attached only to rings...

[Potjeh]

Silver is reasonably common even on level 2, actually. I've got a shitty casual hermitage and I've mined like a bar worth.

[HulkingUnicorn]

We've been developing, and here's what's new.
Rings -- and, for now, only rings -- can be gilded using Gemstones. We want to expand that to clothes as well, but want to contemplate a bit on how.

How about letting us craft buttons that can be set with gemstones and then sewn onto clothes? Are you considering setting gemstones into weapon pommels, by the way?

We legit haven't seen a nugget of silver since the world start.

GOLD ON THE OTHER HAND
TOO MUCH GOLD, SIMPLY TOO MUCH

awesome update jorb
maybe you should fix miner and cave hermit credos to better the chance of gems maybe?
