Death Options

The new update will bring several "death options" to the game. This will affect what is lost when you die and are:

Drop nothing
Drop belt (this is what it is at the moment)
Drop backpack
Drop all

What are your thoughts on how the server should be set?

#22

I vote drop belt, drop all would be too much unless the items were preserved for a good time.

#23

Sounds good to me, keep it as-is.

#24

I vote drop pants makes access easier

#25

That's one way.

#26

Been thinking of altering the name of the server from "Brickage" to something else. Here are some ideas I came up with:

7 Trays of Pie
7 Ducks to Fly
7 Ditties to Try
7 Ways to Sigh
7 Yacks to Apply
7 Pigs Might Fly
7 Thighs are Dry

Any ideas?

#27

How about AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa so it is easy to fins in the server list.

#28

If you are going down that route, we may as well call it 00000000000000000000AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Some others:
7 Swans A-swimming
7 Deadly Sins

I like all of the others, but considering the time it takes for the server list to refresh, I vote 00000000000000000000AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

But Greg, you just add the server to your favourites and then it's always one click away anyway. Please tell me you don't still search though all that crap each time you join the server.

#31

Not now, but I had to do it a good number of times when I was having trouble connecting.

#32

Server is reset and updates to Alpha 7. Here we go again...

#33

Had a very limited go at the new release, not sure how you guys found it but I am not fond of any of the changes really.

#34

WYAOTSOP. I myself liked pretty much everything new.

We had a go last night and did okay after the initial slow start. Mining is very different now - with finding the ore veins and the like. I like the timers - it slows you down a bit. Have yet to mess around with cooking yet - but our main goal was to get as many iron ingots together as we could for tools.

I didn’t even get that far in the end. Jen got the hump with it and i was too hungover to try and work it out.

The zombie memory thing is a load of bollocks. If you set it to say 1 min, you would expect them to loose interest in one minute but this does not seem to be so. If they so much as ‘sense’ you whilst you are in a house, they will continually batter the walls for the entire night.

Also as it is now impossible to better down a tree with your hands, why can they now cut through rock even quicker than before with nothing but hands? Just seems like an odd imbalance to introduce simultaneously.

I probably just need to have another stab at it when in a better frame of mind.

O dear.

I agree that the whole stealth thing requires improvements - but they will hopefully work on that. Me and Dyson's first night in game was pretty much the same, until we got a forge and some pickaxes together and started mining.

I suppose they are simply trying to make it more challenging. Given how easy it is to make a stone axe anyway, there is no real change here since we never used to gr round punching trees down anyway.

Yeah, give it another go with a fresher approach, it's actually surprisingly good IMHO. I think we got a little too happy with our easy life before, I think mixing things up a bit will be good.

#37

Give how quickly they seem to be able to chew through stone and stuff now, do you think there is any point building structures above ground now?

#38

Reinforced concrete. Miles better than stone. So, possibly... we will have to see how it fares.
