Thoughts on the further development of Haven & Hearth? Feel free to opine!

Beacon Fire

Postby vatas » Mon Aug 31, 2015 7:04 am

So this is my idea that would help with the "I can't find my friends and I have to play this game as single-player."

New Structure: Beacon Fire
-Requires Beacon Fires or Beacons that becomes available after Hearth Magic and maybe carpentry
-Built from Stone, Wooden blocks and Beautiful Dreams, possibly boards also. Requires more blocks to stay lit.

As long as Beacon fire is lit, your Kin ( preferably there would be option to enable Beacon Fire to only kin assigned to specific color(s).

Your friend or alt would still have to run all they way from their spawn point but at least they would be given clear heading.

Heading could be similar to prospecting and it could be toggled from toggle menu.

Basic Claim Safety (And what you’re doing wrong) (I recommend you read it in it's entirety, but TL:;DR: Build a Palisade.)

Combat Guide (Overview, PVE, PVP) (Tells you how to try and escape, and make it less likely to die when caught.)

No need to overcomplicate it. Just say that beacons enable party arrows. =)

Did you noticed your char points the direction when preparing to jump onto his HF? You can still interrupt jumping ;)
