I understand not everyone has access to those weapons, but to bt honest, a revolver is just like a bow, but the bullet is faster. Anyway, this system only goes into effect when you press escape. In the situation of your router going offline, you would have to time out anyway, and that isn't my fault. The only time your player stays for 30 seconds, is if someone hits you and you go offline in less than 12 seconds. See, even though this is a game, it's ment to be a realistic one. So suddenly dissapearing just from a simple wound, nah, that can't happen. If the connection times out you never stay on for 30 seconds, if you just press escape, you never stay on for 30 seconds, the only only time, is if you've been hit, then press escape. if you get hit than your connection times out, you'd just go offline. So saying, a connection timing out would be the same exact thing. but you'd stay online for s shorter time. But for even if you don't want to fight, you have to run. I had to fight today, and I dang near died, but I ran and got away, after actually killing some of them for envading my campsight. And I'm not done improving  this system, i'm still putting rules in effect. For example, if someone kills you, than just keeps killing you again, said person would be severely punished or even banned. I have not stated any of these rules official yet, but soon they will, and they will be documented. And also let me say this game isn't supposed to be RTR or UP. It's supposed to be anything but those too, and that's why i'm starting to really crack down hard on that, and why I have added this cowerd system. But if you just press escape, if your health hasn't been lowered in 12 seconds, when you press escape your completely fine. If your router goes offline, my system has nothing to do with that, you would be online anyway until the server realized your connection died, which takes 10 seconds. And so long as you don't press escape in a fight, the server will make you go offline as soon as you time out. In real life, it is harder to aim, and that's why it says that, and why you don't know, ok, i'm gonna hit when I shoot. The trick is, if there in front and very slightly to the left, find in front and very slightly to the right, then get in the middle of the too, whare if you just tapped control shift left arrow it would go from very slightly to the right to very slightly to the left, etc.

That's what I am trying to fix, the contant killing. For instants, in the game, if I see people armed to the teech envading my campsight, there gonna die, well or I might, but random spanish people always come up and boom! That's why I still need to really enforce these new rules, but I will. And that should fix like 80 percent of our issues at least, so yeah.

sam, you're doing great job. just one sugestion: can you add conformation menu when you exit? for example, players with crooked fingers like me press a wrong button let's say, i want to open the inventory and take an arrow. but i press u instead of i, then a, then left, and then you know, what will happen if i'll press escape
well, danny, you won't do anything with constant killing in this game. but there's the way you stay alive. you always have some people you can trust, and they can probably defend you. next, you have your legs and you can escape, that will be hard to find you. and of course, you can learn how to fight. now knife sharpness is limited, so it's impossible to kill you with only one stab.

I have no problem with running away or killing. Sometimes i'll do it myself, but only if the other person is ok with it, and I have no problems with death. Constant killing is an ishue, i'm still standing on that, but it would be less if that cowered system were dropt, that's all i'm saying. I do understand why killing is their. It is, after all, surviving the wild, and if I were coding a game with the same theme as stw then i'd probably be implementing the same killing thing.

Hello, everyone,
I personaly agree with Danny. This isn't a solution, because it helps killers more than those being killed. It basicly sends a message "log on or log off, you Will die, anyway!" when you are hurt, you sit down, and when your helth is lower, you can't run, especially with high thirst and hunger wich go up much to fast. there's also a new bug that sometimes randemly logs you off. I don't know if that's your bug or hacking, but it really is anoying.
If you want to make this game realistic, why are rockgun, revolver, bullets, metal and map pages there? well, you can make a slingshot yourself, but revolver and bullets aren't realistic at all.
Have a nice day, Mayana.

PS: I'm not trying to be anoying, if that's what you think. do whatever you want, I *probably* won't stop playing. and even if some players stop, there are lots of others so ...

I agree with Danny about the killing. Although I've made a few kills myself, it's difficult to defend myself against long-range revolvers and rock guns. I know Sam that you think revolvers are just faster than bows, but they also have a longer range. If I decide to get in close with a bow, all an enemy has to do is take a few steps back and fire their revolver. Once I get hit, I have two options: run towards them really fast with a spear and attack, or run away. So, revolvers should be more widely available to players as items we can craft.
As far as rules go, what do you have in mind? I heard newbies can't be killed unless they attack first, but that system has already been shown not to work very well. Let's say an old player creates a new account and logs on. They will show up as a newbie. However, I know that they're not actually new to the game. So, it is difficult to tell who is and who isn't a newbie.
Finally, this may be controversial, but i think there should be a way to craft some kind of navigation aid, such as a compass. Carno was discussing that on the server earlier. If we can have a watch and a radio, why not a compass? I know the sun can be used during the day to determine the direction of travel. However, for fifteen minutes of game play, players have to deal with nighttime, which means we cannot use the sun to orient hourselves. So, a compass would assist those who wish to travel at night.

well guys, I hate to say it but for a while, the game won't have any updates. Not a long while, maybe a week. Let's just say, stw is about to have one of the biggest updates it's had sence release, and... and well I need time to code it hahaha!

Hi Sam,
The longer the update takes, the better it will be. There's no point rushing it if it is unstable, or not ready for release. I hope it will bring the changes to the fighting system and add more maps for us to explore, as well as the long-awaited wild animals. Hope the coding is going well.

oh and... I am finily removing revolvers cause there not realistic! dmbwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! And, adding a way to make flairs, and probably just maybe I may remove gifts. Maybe not, but possibly.

Hi Sam,
I guess the revolvers are not really needed, as we have hammers, bows, knives, and whatever other weapons you decide to add in the future. They weren't available to all of us from the start because the only way to get them was to pick them up as gifts, so that will make fights a little easier to survive. I currently have one in my inventory, but I don't use it very often.
Also, the new inventory system sounds great. Hopefully, water will no longer show up as a separate item because it is carried in pots, so pots of water should just be one item. The other thing is that inventories could hold an infinite amount of items, which isn't realistic. Even in Alter Aeon there is a limit placed on a character's inventory size.
Finally, the idea of crafting either a rock gun, or slingshot sounds very good. Picking things up as gifts really never made much sense, since items can't randomly spawn in a realistic environment. So, I would like to see the possibility to craft either one of these weapons. Going back to the revolvers, you could allow players to craft them as well, along with the bullets. The trouble is that we would have to find metal somewhere, but you could add a map that involves exploring an abandoned mine field, which could allow players to pick up scraps of metal. Also, the camp ground could have items in it that were presumably left behind that could be picked up by players. These supplies could be used to build tools, such as weapons.

wow sam i love what you do!!! keep it up! well, about stealing. that can be great if we will be able to place traps which can be seen only using camera. for example, something like a pit with wooden spikes at the bottom, covered with branches and leaves. goddam cool!

nah I won't make them dissapear that much. Because I might be able to fix whare it lags the server sometimes.
