Game Development: Crystal Patch

[Vladichka]

The hunger change is basically just putting everyone who's not questing for hunger reduction/eating salt for hunger significantly behind lol

Exactly, it devalues the natural hunger recovery.
If before changes you naturally recovered 100 units of hunger (arbitrary number) and recovered 100 hunger by questing and salt (200 total), now you recover 50 hunger naturally and the same 100 hunger by questing (150 total). So a hermit that doesn't spam quests went from using 100 hunger to 50 hunger, while a faction player from 200 to 150.
Additionally, players who bot food by thousands can stuff themselves before the reset, and it will be eliminated immediately. Because the system does not adjust your hunger recovery, it sets your hunger to arbitrary number (dumb). So the difference grows even bigger (and does not really hurt fighters because there are miners who basically only eat STR food and guarantee you will not get punished for eating everything before reset). All this comes even before fep scale abuse (in reality people were getting resets as if they had 50 stats while actually they had 250).
This experiment was doomed from the start, you can't just eyeball some random numbers and put them in place without any research, and expect it to come out right.

Also I'm not sure what people mean when they say you can't tame animals on pclaim, it just works.
They start running when you aggro but give up after 2 seconds and fight normally.

Very well done with the changes to Animal interactions with Claims! This is so intuitive and helpful, and is not at all a bunch of ill-conceived nonsense that adds more problems than it solves! (sarcasm indicator)

Hello, Jorb! Did you deliberately keep hunger questing in the game when you were redesigning the hunger system itself, to defeat the purpose of the experiment, or did you forget about it and are now ashamed to answer any questions about it?

Are you a Kaios alt? You talk the same way; through a thick layer of butthurt

You 100% knew that shit wasnt right, yet butthurt about it anyways then accuse anyone not taking your side of also being butthurt. You knew better. Don't whine it was a surprise change, cause it definitely isn't. Everyone else was surprised it took so long, multiple worlds, to be fixed. It just should never have been a thing since the first time they addressed claiming thing walls

[vipes]

Any news on plans to market the game and attract a bigger player base?

[Nightdawg]

Also also also, unbanning banned individuals days after their divine intervention was pretty cool as well.

It was "said people will be *permanently* banned *forever*(the meaning of permanent) and *ever and ever* and *never unbanned*". That can only mean they will be unbanned asap.
Also what do you mean "days", it was "day" lmao

anyway WE NEED MORE GOLD SUBS

[Lurux]

After testing my traps, and trying to lure animals.
The shadow patch to animals is they no longer enter claims.
This kills my whale trap, mammoth trap, slime traps, cave louse traps, trap traps, ect traps that I had to take 10 mins to redesign them.
I don't say this in a joking manner

(this pic render like shit because my service that host my image is down...)

'
Same situation here, yea this essential kills my "role"
Or the aspect I found most fun, or..
well xd the reason to play this game.

Maybe they can introduce a net or something at least something to keep an animal in place ..

When 16.3 with a bunch of new bullshit changes and all the stupid changes from this world reverted. Unironically i missed 16.1 speed up at many points this world, i don't think i'll ever miss any of this world changes lmao (other than gilds, that's one thing you did well).
16.1 - Everything is faster so you need to grind more bcs we didn't compensate in any way, just changed a variable to 1.5x (haha steel)
16.2 - All hunting is now a humiliation ritual that takes longer, hunger is a minmaxxing paradise of questing/salt/eating to 30% hunger even without accounting for top stat ppl abusing the exploit (I wonder why some groups never bought salt this world huh)
Are the experiments just how much of a humiliation ritual you can make this game and ppl still buying gold subs?

[524u]

Nice, now I want to quit this game, the game is fucked, we don't really know what jorb is testing, I guess nothing is experimental - the world 16.2 is just pure scam
It's better to stop playing and stop paying them - maybe it will change something in their mind

It’s just embarrassing how they treat this community

1.5 months and just 2 small patches, the first one is basically nothing
