[mvgulik]

All changes are world independent unless specifically mentioned otherwise.

Really ... Right ... Whatever.

Sled Riding has been temporarily disabled on account of Divine Intervention: Balls Bay et al vs. Dev Team. Was a nice thing, and we cannot have those. Working to restore it. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Please address usability of sleds in pvp. My suggestion is putting timer on them (similar as coracle). That will remove pvp abuses, while keeping the fun part.

Please no. Putting players on movable/moving objects explodes in a flurry of bug abuses EVERY TIME, no exceptions, yet you persistently do it over and over again.

Sledding is a fun mechanic... with immeasurable implications in a game that literally has players script-equipping between plate boots/bunny slippers to gain critter-dependant moving advantage in pvp.

This was a nice thing and likely your pet project, but you have quite a lot of much less volatile nice things "in the pipes" for quite some time, do bridges or modular buildings first or something.

I agree. Even without the ability to sled through vgates, Snail pointed out that it creates a stupid PVP meta similar to rabbit shoe swapping where you will need to always have a sled on your back and autoswitch to sledding on every decline to catch up to people.

They should keep adding features no matter how exploited they might be used, game's in infinite development and has two worlds for playtesting at this point. Nothing is permanent or guaranteed anyways

When they released kick sleds like however many years ago everybody in my village thought they were so broken they'd be gone before the end of the first winter

Aha. So that's why the Divine Intervention post did not mention anything about any change to the related feature. It was dropped inside the multitude of other posts. (fits the general pattern)
