The Ghost of Christmas Future, II

[painhertz]

I find it odd no one has asked about the "new" stuff that was/was talked about being added. Seige weapons? Manned guard towers? More community/town/faction tools? Jorb? Loftar? Anything "new" making it's way into this build or is this just a graphical prettifying of Haven 1.0? (Only new thing I noticed was horses......) Is there still going to be wall bashing? Any new weapons? (Throwing daggers? Crossbows? Maces? etc etc)?

Good point to ask about new things,
especially a siege system, but knowing
the glorious Loftorb I do not think they
would tell us even if they had plans

Why not, they've already revealed horses, and Moosen (What I call multiple Moose)

no point until we get some solid info

New stuff, from what I can tell:

mounts
cliffjumping
autoharvesting entire fields of crops
stockpiles
awful dawn/dusk lighting
building automatically drawing materials from nearby stockpiles
combat still a mess

You can also shift-click a dropped item to pick up all of the same type in the vicinity. :)

Just out of curiosity, what kind of combat would you consider not a mess? Does it have to be real-time and physics-based?

[Jackard]

ofc not it just needs to be accessible to new players. are you going to let them contribute in combat right off the bat?

seems kinda important since you mentioned wanting to remove hearth secrets!

real time and action based gains? xD

I think new players are usually quite capable of fighting eg. ants. They are on the other hand, of course, not capable of fighting Nao. What would be a reasonable level of accessibility?

Admittedly we haven't discussed that yet, but I'd imagine we'll have some skill for entrance to combat just like now.
