Pause subscriptions during winter

Ah yes, not fighting one faction back, all for the small price of having half of your "fighters" leave your village, and losing your 100-man village to 10 spooky dudes, probably wearing bronze.
Peak "big dick fucker" behavior.

Is that the fantasy you guys spin for yourselves to feel better about having a gigantic nut cup because you're literally afraid of the newb zerg?
It's the exact same "afraid of winter" mentality. Someone may KO you - Like a bunch of WB nabs

I haven't been part of any pvp group for 2 worlds. This isn't about pvp. Stop trying to make it sound like it's only ruining it for pvpers, when they literally just stop fighting eachother during this dogshit season and hunt hermits and noobs instead for 5 days.

This is really funny, because you are still bitching about PvP, and your other complaints are that... seasonality of forgeable items and animals is annoying and you prefer using boats over sleds?
I mean, ignoring your other complaints that are nullified by mound beds, which are a truly nominal amount of work to manage.

I understand you're a little autistic so you have a very difficult time understanding other people's POV, but there are a ton of people who actually enjoy this change of pace, especially Non-PvPers, LARPers, and the like, many of which have posted in this thread.

You're right that I was being facetious when I said that *everyone* who hated winter was a little bitch PVPer afraid of actually being ganked.
But that works both ways, not everyone who disagrees with your subjective taste is a mongoloid retard, just because they prefer a slightly different playstyle for the 4 1/2 IRL days that winter represents each 54 1/2 day yearly cycle.
PvPers that actually enjoy winter are all universally chads, though.

NGL, it was pretty fun being able to control whether or not virtually *any* faction got PvP on a given day or hour with only a couple keystrokes in a specific internal discord server.

In case you couldn't tell, my problem with winter isn't just the fact that 1 mediocre retard can solo 5 of your hermits during winter, which shouldn't be a thing. Sure, bad fighters should suffer, but 5 vs 1 shouldn't be a loss even if those 5 players are monkeys randomly pressing buttons.
That's just on top of every other mechanic that winter ruins, that had what feels like 20 band-aids applied that still don't fix the main issue.

Winter started as:
- 10 awful days (or more?) of:
- crops dying
- trees growing slower and not producing seeds for 2 seasons, but they also instantly lose ALL seeds
- animals starving
- RIVERS FREEZING removing boat travel (and sometimes not even properly freezing, making them annoying for sleds too)
- snow taking 3(?) IRL days to actually cover the map properly (in a very retarded tile-pattern way)
- not being able to use fucking sleds for 3 days due to previously mentioned retarded snow pattern
- horses also becoming useless cause of sleds that can't be raw-hided
- bears vanishing but credos still asking you to kill/put an arrow in them
- ALL TERRAIN BECOMING SPRINT TERRAIN
- tons of forageables no longer spawning due to snow covering terrain
- swamps becoming empty
- you now have to clear snow too, should you need to terraform anything

And then the half-assed band-aids, that in reality just prove winter is just dogshit and should just be cosmetic:
- reduce winter to 5 days, cause it's so dogshit, there's no other fix to at least trick the players into not completely quitting
- greenhouses, which are such a massive joke, not only do they not respect crop growth speed nodes, they only cover like 6(?) tiles, which take the most OBNOXIOUS PROCESS to build (glassmaking), in a game where you need to eat hundreds of things every day
- speeding up how fast snow sets on the ground (and it's still bad)
- change the retarded snow tiling pattern, to a less retarded one which is still shit for a day and a half
- mound beds, since greenhouses were obnoxiously bad, but now you need to build those every time before winter, which means you always need a stash of shit-quality mulch standing by
- wilderness skis, which now made sleds useless, cause skis are faster. One player can literally solo 5 players on foot/on sleds, as long as he has wilderness skis and enough water. People hated having to carry a coracle 24/7 to the extent of which coracle scripts were nerfed and 90% of fighters no longer carry them, yet being forced to carry skis with you all the time during winter is fine for some reason?


These are just off the top of my head. All of them are just mechanics that just push you away from enjoying this game for 5 days. And what do we get in exchange? 2(?) forageables, and more wolf spawns on mountains (maybe, idk)

I like being outside of my walls most of the time, hunting and foraging, but everything just fucking sucks during those 5 days. And I'm sure it's 10 times more annoying for hermits, or people who like farming, or taking care of animals.
Oh and let's not even talk about a new player trying to start playing during winter.

This crap isn't about PVP, but y'all retards just want to argue against all of those arguments because "ooga booga snail bad person made this post". God forbid any of you wants this game to be improved, if it involves agreeing with someone you dislike.

Yap. Add auto play bot for winter to your client and stop complaining.

Edit: Wasn't winter like 15 day or something retarded like that to begin with? I recall all seasons taking the same except summer which took twice that, i might be off on that tbh.

didn't actually read ur thing eyes just kinda accidentally caught this while scrolling down, but:
There hasn't been a fight in winter for over 5 years. PVPbois who enjoy winter literally don't exist.

I rmbr one of the earlier winters koya or whoever the fuck convinced a bunch of people to play legacy and they were having like 5v5s. Winter is so bad people would literally rather play legacy. Not the hyperbolic manchild babyrage "i'D rAtHeR pLaY lEgAcY" from somebody who's just generally unhappy with the state of affairs. People actually PVP in legacy more than in winter. Like, it's not even close. It's actually unplayable.

Yeah, this and

Active claim alone should just 100% delete winter within its area. Of course everything unclaimed is still a problem

Basically describing winter perfectly.

Meanwhile some people furiously arguing that they like eating shit on a plate because it tastes good to them, therefore everybody should be forced to have shit on a plate for 5 days.
sheesh

Literally false. I've personally done winter PVP in this time frame.
If you weren't too scared to come out maybe you'd know.

"noooo I ganked a hermit during winter 2 years ago or some shit"

same energy as the other brodgar bois


There has not been a fight in winter for over half a decade

[Dawidio123]

Login, winter, if i go out solo and get ganked by people with more than 3 shared braincells i have a reasonable chance to die. Snekkjas don't work. You go through food like a retard bcs of skis. The only thing to do is to mine ig. Log out.
Farming gets a sidequest in form of shitting out moundbeds to save 5 fucking days of growth. Your map gets fucked bcs for some reason they thought it would be good to map the snow.

The benefits? Uhhhhhhhhhhh, you can get ice for compresses that lasts until next winter so that's neat (You can also just have a road to mountains but w/e, neat). Curios are irrelevant as lp doesn't really matter and the effort/lp is bad to stock up properly, the shrooms are pretty good for consti but you aren't using anything you can't grow in a pot. The larp aspect is not even good, are you gonna decorate your base for 5 days of winter? The snow isn't even fully there for the first 2 days so it'll look like shit.
Like, i want winter enjoyers to state at least 3 things they like about winter that justify fucking all those other aspects of the game.
Edit: I forgot about how bad winter is, hunting also gets fucked, the most relevant animal to hunt, the humble bear is eeping. Travel? Fucked. You can get white stoats for one of the best gilds ingame instead but man, you go out hunt them once per world and then skip out on hunting for the rest of the winter. inb4 just get a knarr and hunt whales, 99% of the playerbase have never seen a whale, you can't have that be your main winter activity
