Oh, really? Didn't know - that just shows how long it took MC to get over this (6 years, eh?). I honestly didn't play new vanilla cause it's still flat out uninteresting, just like increasing flat damage with weapon skill. Concordantly - shields in terms of specific skill for using those would be uninteresting if it just eats up more damage (percentage or otherwise). But if it might on higher level have a chance to mirror some damage (simulation of shield bash) or put some status effects on either player or opponent - it might get interesting. Then again - nobody took down weapon block, right? So that point should still stand. In short - I bet there are opportunities to make combat not only more in-depth but also having a certain luck element, which should inspire careful preparations and valuing one's life.

Here's my suggestion regarding weapon skills specifically: Depending on the level certain things should improve 1. Chance to hit. Never 100%. Very low for starting skill level, like 10%. Train to get better, after all - novice's only knowledge of swords is that it's like a stick, only better. 2. Critical chance. So even simple swing can get extra damage in. 3. Critical damage modifier. Higher threshold with greater skill levels. But generally randomized from say 150% weapon base damage for the player (which includes all other modifiers such as crafter's skill or w/e) to w/e top threshold is worthwhile balance-wise. So if you're really skilled - you can sometimes really nail'em. 4. On-hit effects unlocked (or chance increased from 0%) from certain skill levels and then increases chance to apply (and/or length of applied effect) - bleeding, stun, knockback, stagger, disarm, off-balance, w/e should apply to a chosen weapon. 5. Swing speed (or delay between swings) - since novice doesn't even sure how to handle a weapon. 6. Stamina (energy, w/e) consumption per swing. Maybe apply short debuff of some kind (on stamina regeneration or w/e) when swinging without or otherwise completely lock ability to swing or connect your swings - whichever you think is best. Say - hunger/thirst consumption. Maybe on lower levels - even hurting yourself when swinging while tired. 7. Block/parry chance and/or effectiveness regarding damage blocking and/or stamina consumption per blocked attacks, assuming chosen weapon can be used for blocking. Any of said suggestions in my opinion would improve gameplay aspect of a fight both PvP and PvE (assuming mobs or w/e will also have various effect/damage type resistances and abilities with in some way randomized effectiveness to hurt and/or disable you). I expect it is difficult to tacke vanilla hardcode regarding battles, but I hope some/most of this can be implemented in in some way. It would make battle much more interesting than simple mashing of LMB like crazy.

I've heard "is that too hard for you" and such here oh so many times. And then there comes _noted_ change to arbitrarily _not_ die of thirst and hunger. I... sense a contradiction with common sense and hence support this topic's suggestion to make that at least an option if sensible death from hunger is too hardcore in the eyes of devs.

I feel your pain, man. You'd think that kind of realism wouldn't be hard to implement, but that actually requires certain people to "care". Can't have that.

Alcohol and 'safe to drink' should never be used in a same sentence - that's just a blatant lie. If you have an ability to mass produce alcohol for fuel - there is no chance you don't have any more efficient fuel - that is just how it goes. Don't dig rpg value in alcohol, considering that neither of us really lived in such made-up society to 'immerse in spirit' of stupidity The fact that it is already coded in means nothing. As experience tells - what's been coded in - can as easily be coded out. Especially for being utterly flipping useless as it is in the current developer's version. Not only it is unrealistic in mechanic of production AND serves NO purpose - with all the bugs lying around I see no reason to work on something useless while so many issues aren't fixed. And trust me - I've tested couple of recent versions - there is A LOT of issues. But when Emris in iirc notes them and get Dunk's responses like "I don't really care" - I have to question the motive behind adding something useless instead of caring for actuality.

Even though it probably doesn't matter now, I have to say that alcohol serves no purpose in either real or digital life. And anyone who claims that it is actually efficient in anything (including being a fuel, medical base, disinfectant, etc.) is just lying to himself and didn't make any worthwhile research on the subject. There is no point to adding alcohol in any way, shape or form in TFC other than being a gimmick that yet again serves not actual realistic purpose (except making oneself an actual idiot). So since in some way that horse excrement is about to make its debut in B77 I thought I should voice my opinion on pushing incredible towards ridiculous as it seems to be happening.

That's all great and all, man. But who's gonna code and (more-importantly) bug-fix that? It's not like the current management in this regard is particularly great. So while I myself don't mind the idea at all, it doesn't seem to be feasible at this point. Unless you can code it in and test it.

Hey, man. All I meant is checking out what changed since b75. I'm not involved in actual mod development in any way, shape or form (except unintentional exploit hunting I tend to do in any game). I don't have any access to pre-release versions (except info required for translation I got from my friend Emris).

So you're participating in the development i take it? Or maybe I'm just completely out of the loop. Could you hit me on ICQ sometime this week if you have spare time and elaborate on what you know about this, please? That sounds like you're under a lot of stress, man. Whole world must be against you. It's not like you could have prompted AliceInGame there to lock german translation to your google account, right? Oh, wait... Something smells...

The problem with those things is ww can't translate them appropriately if we have no idea of their actual use. I mean I can't even understand what "hold" and "shift" mean in that regard there, let alone translate that.

OK, guys... So I booted up MC to check out last updates in preparation to most expected B77, to have me warmed up to the task of finally getting somewhere. And I decided to fiddle around with pixel-art again, yet this time using a much more nice-looking way - TFC planks (this idea was inspired by one of tenterro's creations). But, as it goes, my OCD didn't allow me to get away with just fiddling around. So I did THIS to shut it up:
