I dont know, I played a fair bit of unreal world thanks to an awesome guy here that did a giveaway, and I must say its quite enjoyable, but it doesn't feel polished and the gameplay gets dull once you get a nice house and lots of meat. Then the only fun comes from killing njerpez, and that gets olds sorta fast.

The hunting element feels nice though. I wish Heaven&Hearth's hunting was as good, and not just build a fence around something, shoot at it forever with a sling, and bows taking longer then civil war cannons to shoot.

Yea, the current game needs a bit more endgame content. You have to come up with your own challenges to make the game entertaining. Building a super warrior, suiting him up in mail with a northern bow and battleaxe, recruiting an army of hunters and adventurers, and invading the Njerpez can be fun for a while. Playing as a nomad can be interesting too, exploring the world and living off whatever you can kill. I'm hoping the peaceful settled life gets more interesting when more of the NPC interaction and community features are implemented.

Thats usually what eventually makes me stop playing. Back years ago I'd go raid caves until I eventually died, going down hundreds of levels (I seem to recall one cave that I made it to level three hundred and something before dieing to a group of njerpez that surrounded me). Now that the game is a bit more realistic than that the main challenge is getting food and a house, and once you have that the game can get boring if you don't set new goals for yourself. I remember one game where I lived on a river and had a bunch of loop snares all along the river, and every day I'd run the snares and cook up some meat stew with some turnips from the garden - but eventually it got tedious and repetitive.

I'd imagine the reality of living in that situation would get a bit tedious and repetitive too, if you live in a house in the middle of a river all by yourself and live on your garden and meat from snares that you religiously check every single day - so I can hardly blame the game when I set myself up for boredom.

URW still keeps pulling me back in for weeks or months at a time every few years, though. I guess it's just a craving for a good survival sim, which are very few and far between.

I am so addicted to this game come check my videos give me advice and where you would like to see this character go. I have played about 8hrs+ of Unreal World and this is my first Let's Play for Unreal World

Gave the demo another shot. Combat has changed considerably since my last encounter with URW. Still, missle weapons are preposterously over effective. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be firing arrows or throwing javalins into people's necks from an inch away, surrounded on all sides.

Anyhoo. Tossed in the demo and brought murder to a small village. Now I have enough succulent human flesh live out the winter ((If I weren't going to die in 10 days)) and a great site to start what I would play URW for. Building a home of absurd proportions for one lonely canabal. Where I will invite people for 'hunting' trips. ((read as The Most Dangerous Game))

I was going to explore the cooking Recipes section and see if I could make a "hall of meat"

Things to do if I get the full version.
*Create a 11 by 11 pit with a small bridge leading out to its middle. Put my bed there
*Unfortunately can't seem to drag carcasses ((or I'm doing it wrong)) So might have to get creative on the whole -pile of rotting corpses motiff-
*Burn down the other buldings in town

*Fun fact. The facing direction is great. I killed most of the town by Hide walking up behind them and giving them a battle-sword to the head. Stealth kills don't send the whole village down on you.

I was curious about stealth kills.  These villages are looking AWFULLY peaceful right now...

You can leave "rotten driik villager cuts (50)" on the ground or in a pit.

[kilakan]

So I've been having absolutely zero lck with traps of any kind, fence, snare, ect.  Anyone who has any skil with this, some advice would be really appreciated.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Be patient, and make shitloads of them, and put them in a place where animals have no choice but to fall into them. Just digging a random pit in a forest will get you nothing, usually.

[kilakan]

Second question, how long will a trap keep something alive/not rotting?  Aka how often should I check the traps?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Check them daily, I usually check my trap fences every morning before I go fishing.

[Logrin]

Day one demo slaughter. My only intention was really to steal a few supplies, namely a good sword. Snuck in and killed the shop keeper with a javalin to the back of the head and  went to run off with a battlesword. Unfortunately the village ((minus one shopkeeper)) caught up to me at the edge of the woods. That's what I get for being over-loaded with delicious father-meat. Even when I dropped it on the go it wasn't enough to out pace them any more.

I decided to give them my javalins as a sign of friendship. When that didn't work I gave them a few love taps till the settled down. Surprised to have came out of it without even a bruise.

My method of madness if you're interested in the long winded version.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My method of combat? Throw javalin as the first blow, when they're one or two squares away. There's almost no defence against this and if throwing into a crowd even a miss can score a hit on someone. Don't bother aiming at anything besides the head. It's faster than archery and if they fall/drop thier weapon you can throw again. The second target should be the body for your melee weapon ((most times someone in the crowd will reach you)) The body is the easiest place to score a hit, I have found. The first two steps are to lower thier combat effectiveness from injury, since that's usually what gets YOU. Yes they are unskilled villagers, but if you fatigue yourself you'll start getting worse. They'll start hitting you and before you know it you're just a bruised mess waiting out the inevitable. Last target is the legs, not the head. Your end goal isn't to kill everyone attacking you. It's to make it so they can't walk. That way you can back up and not get swarmed by more then 3 people at once to save your fatigue and escape any garenteed back-stabs. Once everyone is disabled in one way or another it's just a case of walking up behind them and cutting their head and neck. That or practicing your archery/combat skills on them.

I just shot an elk in the face ...

...

...

 

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, but you missed. Weaksauce.

[mendonca]

  But I'm so happy that I did ...

All that meat might put a dent in my 11% starvation, and there is a deserted vagabond village nearby to take as my own ... (at least ... I think it's deserted)

I love the new missile weapon system. Although I forgot about it and accidentally threw my handaxe in the water ... 

[Blaze]

That's kind of exactly what this is.

I payed for a one-version download of this game a few years back. Version was > 3 or so, if I recall right. Any major additions since then? I kinda figure I should just not be a cheap ass and pay the guy for a lifetime subscription since it's such a great deal. I just don't want to pay again if he decides to abandon this next year.. Which was the reason I payed for the one-version download before.
