Slight update: Altpocalypse slowdown

[Ferinex]

I was using 'you' ambiguously. : P

Either way, are you talking about Tilley? I'm pretty sure that is who that thread was about. How would you know he had >200 stealth?

[Coldsteel]

so i started a new character and i cant fight back against this griefer named tubai, hes killing everything that comes through the RoB.

e: now hes making a fort wall around the place...comfirmed that i cant even punch anything at all without grinding for a month for the punch skill

Somehow I don't believe you. Tubai is Raephire.

I'd say making walls extremely hard to break is the way to go. Have you ever heard of a thief that breaks down a solid wall to get into your house to steal something? I'm guessing the next thief update would be gate-lock-picking, or something similar, while the wall breaking would be left for sieges.

Tubai is Raephire.

So that's the complete, total asshole that was following me and a few others around back when I started, pestering us with orders like "not to make campfires."

It all makes sense now.

If this walling of the standing stones with palisades is a protest against their increased soak and health then its just going to annoy Jorb and Loftar, it might cause them to waste time with a quick fix rather than the bigger updates like theft and path finding.

[Fools]

Well one thing is for sure, if they complete that wall... it will be very difficult to rob those noobs.

Yes, this update does suck for the thief, but it's much needed right now. Judging by the (lack of) activity in the forums, the game was dying fast as non-thieves were leaving en-masse. I agree that it's not a good permanent solution, but until we get a way to retrieve stolen items (something nobody has ever accomplished AFAIK) it should remain, or Loftar might not find a player-base to return to next weekend.

This isn't the issue, the issue is people having walls off claim which is retarded as hell and me taking advantage of their stupidity and then them ragequitting like whiney fucking babies because they got taken advantage of in a full pvp game.

This change is just a backlash pandering to people's stupidity. I never bashed walls on claim, and I never would have at any point. Carebears are just man children.

Now you're the one whining, Rubs. First of all, this isnt a 'full pvp game', as the devs have stated. The PvP is there, yes, but its not supposed to be the only thing in the game. And up to now, it WAS the only thing in the game, as Potjeh pointed out. Yes, ALOT of players were leaving. I was planning to leave to. And dont just bash us with 'you are all carebears'. There is a difference between whining whenever a single item is stolen, and being annoyed when EVERY SINGLE THING you make is promptly stolen within 2 days. Which is what was happening.
