Who needs World 4?

Postby Thurrok » Sun Oct 10, 2010 2:20 am

Basically, everyone is excited about W4, and no, I don't wanna start another one of these threads. I just wonder... why don't people roll new chars NOW, instead of fixating themselves on the goddamn reset? Unfortunately school and moving are taking away 99% of my free time now, but if I had more, I'd start a new guy just to see what's out there nowadays. Just for fun, to live as a noob hermit again. That funny part of the game, where you try different fishing combos, trap boars in gate fences and shoot at them with a crappy q10 sling.

Now, I know all the mines have been taken blah blah blah. There's a dozen alternatives to metal, and when one reaches q level where metal is absolutely necessary, then there's the long trek to Nople where one can sell forageables for metals. As for me, I'm pretty much endgame but still haven't had the opportunity to make a single piece of hardened leather, bone clay or porcelain stuff. They might be crap, decay fast or be useless in general, but what isn't, compared to q850 thanes? Sure, sitting at a table eating 800 cavebulbs per session is a FUCKING GRIND, but that's no reason to call the game itself boring... I agree that endgame has no truly entertaining goals, but why not stick to the ever-expanding basics then?

All in all, I was just wondering why a reset is needed to be enabled to start anew and try stuff. Hope you don't mind if it got too long.

People really can calm down about world four, because unless Jorb and Loftar are sitting on a major update for the test server we still have a long ways to go before any reset. They've already had to go back to the drawing board for some ideas that didn't turn out as well as they would have liked during private testing.

Just restating: it's not happening anytime soon because resets are tied to huge patches.

Well imo it seem people want a new world because with a new world comes fresh politics, new alliances and a totally situation. Resources is mostly just an issue to nubs that cannot find them, plenty of unlcaimed stuff now in World 3. But as it is now trade is ho hum and the current drama is just some small boo boo's on the individual level, even the Sodom griefing was minor and they recovered within a few days, the Goons seemed fall because they were too bored to fight back after the AD attack. A new world will totally change things, while some of the top three may stick together, I bet some will split and reform in different ways that will have a new dynamic in the events on the server.

Personally, I kinda want world 4. I will probably just be an nomad. Traveling through the world instead of settling down like how I did now. Although I will, it would be a great idea :lol: .

well I for one know that making a new character and starting over with having one that is way more advanced is not that easy..But a new world would mean having no choice but do it..
More excitement as everyone would be scattered and have to find one another..New villages and new merges..so even if they did not add anything else exciting just these things alone would make it worth it to me..
The race would be on as the advanced players would know what they needed to do and how to do it to make it back to the top..I think it would add alot of excitement and even more drama...But I can only wish as no one knows except for Jorb and Loft what is going on..:)

A new world is a clean slate of the nazi infested H@H world XD. That's why when someone dies, they always say "see ya in world 4" because they know that all politics and crap will be wiped. Forcing a new(I don't know how to explain, if u get it, u know wut i mean D:).

This is what we are waiting for.

More creativity, more balance, overall improvement. that's what all the feedback is for in an alpha stage game.

I like world 3, I have a lot of fun, work hard, and sometimes leaving it behind is hard to do. but when we see the great things wizard jorbtar will create, this will just be a fond memory and the next leg of the H&H journey will begin.

Well that's just bullshit. Very little actually changes. People you like you'll still like and play with and people you don't like will still be dicks and want nowhere in sight. The goons will still be goons the bottleneckers will still be bottleneckers russians still russians and the like. Sure you might be on equal footing for a month but once all walls are up infrastructure is set skills are learned we're back to the current situation. In short people never change.
