Salem (MMO) - Page 15

[23:24] <Aixler> ask about water/boats/fish/swimming (do we need deep water for boats, then touch on no connection)
[23:24] <Aixler> ask about attacking/siege, how long can you go afk without being in danger of someone breaking your wall and stealing stuff
[23:25] <Aixler> about destroying houses/claims
[23:25] <Aixler> iron axe
[23:25] <Aixler> endgame being mass bread production for humours
[23:26] <Aixler> about ui, regular people custumization (things russian and ender client already have etc), because everyone wants a diff ui, but only few ppl can program it themselves
[23:27] <Aixler> best would be they give you 1 default setting, and a ton of tweaks and options so you can personalize the ui to your own likings
[23:27] <Aixler> are players/items/animals meant to be shown on minimap
[23:28] <Aixler> what about the land flattening tool
[23:28] <Aixler> the disaster that is placing lifted items
[23:28] <Aixler> how many features from haven will be in salem
[23:28] <Aixler> small inventory space
[23:28] <Aixler> more/bigger backpacks etc
[23:29] <Aixler> any indication on the character sheet about armor/damage
[23:29] <Aixler> concerning the coming combat rework, will they balance stun by giving it a cooldown?
[23:30] <Aixler> how about giving players an option to avoid boston all together
[23:30] <Aixler> aka make nails/seeds yourself
[23:31] <Aixler> are they gonna make an official wiki with the only input from developers
[23:32] <Aixler> how about being unabled to memorize players when they are on their claim, or when you are knocked out, is that intended?
[23:34] <@Serejai> <Aixler> the disaster that is placing lifted items
[23:34] <@Serejai> whats wrong with this?
[23:34] <@Serejai> it works exactly as it did in HnH... that is to say items dont snap to grid after you lift them
[23:34] <@Serejai> Which is both good and bad
[23:34] <Aixler> you can build chests perfectly next to eachother
[23:35] <Aixler> lift them up once and you can never place them as close
[23:35] <Aixler> nor straight
[23:35] <@Serejai> Ah, so some items
[23:35] <@Serejai> The hitbox grows after lifting
[23:35] <Aixler> ya
[23:35] <@Serejai> <Aixler> how about giving players an option to avoid boston all together
[23:35] <@Serejai> this is already possible
[23:36] <@Serejai> you can make nails and seeds yourself unless I'm mistaken. it's just not worth the effort to do so
[23:36] <Aixler> trading with players who do buy items in boston?
[23:36] <@Serejai> or wait
[23:36] <Aixler> well you need a ton of nails and iron bars to start making nails yourself
[23:36] <Aixler> cant get seeds
[23:36] <@Serejai> well, you can make nails from iron bars... but you need nails first to make a mine, dont you
[23:36] <Aixler> ye
[23:36] <@Serejai> in theory there is always theft
[23:36] <Aixler> so the way they might answer that question is trading/theft
[23:36] <@Serejai> for seeds
[23:36] <Aixler> which isnt the same as avoiding it in the truest sense
[23:36] <@Serejai> what do those wild seeds do?
[23:37] <@Serejai> crowberry or something
[23:37] <@Serejai> i thought they have a chance to give you other seeds or something
[23:37] <Aixler> croberry = berry
[23:37] <Aixler> :D
[23:37] <@Serejai> well i know you can grow more items
[23:37] <Aixler> only new world gourd gives seeds
[23:37] <@Serejai> than whats available in boston
[23:37] <@Serejai> oh
[23:37] <Aixler> pumpkin/red pepper something
[23:37] <Aixler> as far as we know
[23:38] <@Serejai> no official wiki, imo. after salem release devs are going back to work full time on Haven and Hearth they said
[23:38] <Aixler> really? :o
[23:38] <@Serejai> will probably only update Salem every now and then, after HnH gets the new items/features
[23:38] <Aixler> meh
[23:38] <@Serejai> thats good, actually
[23:38] <@Serejai> it means HnH is basically a beta test for Salem
[23:39] <@Serejai> so when a feature hits salem
[23:39] <@Serejai> it should be 100% functional and balanced
[23:39] <@Serejai> otherwise they would need a PTR
[23:39] <@Serejai> to test changes
[23:39] <Aixler> hmm
[23:39] <@Serejai> especially in a permadeath MMO
[23:39] <@Serejai> last thing you want to do is add a new feature that is OP
[23:39] <Aixler> true
[23:39] <@Serejai> and causes deaths
[23:39] <@Serejai> and HnH server is probably much cheaper to run
[23:40] <@Serejai> So instead of a second Salem server, using the HnH one is the best choice
[23:40] <@Serejai> Since both games are pretty much identical it makes sense to me
[23:42] <Aixler> are they considering making it easier to make a world map either using a custom or the official client, aka each tile has its own coordinates, with eg. boston as 0,0
[23:42] <@Serejai> thats a big question, although i was simply going to ask if they were going to render a map
[23:42] <@Serejai> they used to do that for HnH
[23:42] <@Serejai> in worlds 1-3 I believe
[23:42] <@Serejai> They posted the entire map at launch
[23:43] <Aixler> ah ye thats a 100x better
[23:43] <Aixler> because then you dont have ppls bases on it
[23:43] <@Serejai> Yeah
[23:44] <Aixler> ask them something about the name salem
[23:44] <Aixler> i assume its inspired by witchcraft etc
[23:45] <Aixler> but googling for salem gives either witchcraft stuff, or the town in the USA
[23:45] <Aixler> aka not picking a unique name
[23:45] <Aixler> do they expect everyone to be a witch?
[23:45] <Aixler> or a witch hunter
[23:45] <Aixler> it sounds a lot more fun to be a witch (hunter) than a villager/farmer
[23:50] <Aixler> will there be bigger houses
[23:50] <Aixler> like townhouses with a ton of room for chests/cupboards and more
[23:51] <Aixler> will houses ever be able to be locked
[23:51] <Aixler> right now its possible to put a lock on something before it has a key assigned to it, is that intentional
[23:54] <Aixler> will every proficiency have a bonus, like stocks & mountains have right now
[23:55] <Aixler> whats to prevent someone from having a claim infront of the door to their house, with a claim inside?
[23:55] <Aixler> with a leanto inside*
[23:55] <Aixler> what is to prevent someone from boxing in their leanto with 4 houses, and operating from boston
[23:56] <Aixler> being immune to summoning while offline, free to murder etc
[23:57] <Aixler> will there ever be traps or mechanics, for active defenses
[23:57] <Aixler> will we be able to grow trees
[23:57] <Aixler> will maple trees ever regrow their leaves
[23:59] <Aixler> whats to prevent the biggest group to dominate all others
[00:00] <Aixler> whats to prevent the more active players from destroying the more casual players
[00:00] <Aixler> or their bases, while they are on or offline
[00:00] <Aixler> do they think people should care more about their base or their character
[00:00] <Aixler> seeing how characters take longer to max out skill/humour wise, than it is to build a base
[00:02] <Warri> i take it stone awlls will be pretty hard to circumvent as in hnh
[00:03] <Aixler> they are for us
[00:03] <Aixler> but i doublt thell last long vs a 100 plegm guy
