Game Development: Prelude pt. II

[Orcling]

Guano and Brimstone (Sulfur) are now items... hmmm...

Jorbtar, you trying to make the hearthlands explosive?

Stronger catapult ammo, perhaps?

[simimi]

Guano is a fertilizer and sulfur is used for pest control on orchards, grape and so on, so it could be less exiting than what you are expecting ...

Salt removes hunger, those leaves (as their info suggests, u even read?) remove travel weariness

really love the salt but i hate the idea of ice crystals, they max out way too quickly with this.. honestly 40k points on the first day is broken, so what you end up is seeing a selective few who were fortunate enough to find them overpower the rest of the playerbase and drop the player count again lol

i haven't met anyone with rage yet but i wouldn't be that happy to get killed by a player on the first day or two.

ice crystals are unnecessary.

Truthfully, w8 was the first world that didn't have murderers running around day 1. People will always figure out a way to grind out the needed LP in under 24 hours. Previously, there was the sliders to boost things along.

I agree some of these things are way overbalancing for the start of the world, but there's nothing that OP about them in the long run. Maybe numbers need to be tweaked a bit depending on number of players and expected value. The icicle is the only one that needs a serious rework. I'm not sure what to suggest other than limiting it to one curio in the study instead of all.

You guys keep complaining about people being able to get Rage early because of the Icicles, but you can easily get that even without special items. I started several hours late, slept twice for a total of 14-18 hours (without abusing Amber's auto-study feature, which would net me tons more LP), have not used any alts, and the only special resources I've found are the Travel Weariness leaves and the healing root. My total gained LP is 48,485, more than enough to get Rage. And I'm a hermit.

If a group works together well enough and plays in a lame enough manner, Murder would have been possible some time ago already even without Ice Crystals.
