Make your inventory empty on death, like Survival 404 (a legendary game for all you new people, not trying to be cocky). Thats horrible. What if I die by accident? What if some nub comes and hits me with their mithril sword and kills me instantly. I've done a tad bit of asking around before to back up another case of mine a couple months ago, the vast majority of people who prefer Survival 303 to other survival games do so because Survival 303 is more forgiving. With crossbows capable of killing someone from a distance in a single click instantly, and a woven vest (which is easy to get if you take the time, especially on the new map) allowing for even people who took the safety precaution of getting some armour to be instantly wiped of an hours progress before they even know what happened. Conversely, it would make low-tier weapons and armor be useful. People would actually use iron swords and armor. The only weapon that can save me from a mithrilite attack and that doesn't require mithril is triple weilding crossbows. Mithrilites have a huge jump in terms of armour (and a well deserved one at that), and can easily soak up large amounts of damage, all the while dishing out plenty of their own. Making an iron sword will do nothing against player killers, who will be well equipped and armoured. This makes tribes so much more important, and also, my point in nerfing mithril/bluesteel still stands. A tribe of iron can easily dispatch a mithrilite raider, while a mithril tribe can ward off any bluesteeler raiders. A bluesteel tribe should be able to also ward off bluesteel raiders. 2. Make stored tools be destroyed on death. (Storing isn't supposed to make people be able to evade losing their stuff, it's made for convenience, or should be, anyway). We have a backpack. If storing did nothing but keep it out, so in an emergency it is harder to get it, you might as well just remove storing altogether. I personally find it easier to say take/yewb instead of digging through my backpack. '''We are slightly missing the point here. It's not why we made the store tool, and never will be. Have you ever died, and thought "Dammit! Oh, wait, I have some spare tools. Phew, that could have been nasty.", because most of us have. That's why we have the store tool. So those who are prepared don't start from square 0 when they die. It takes twice the effort initially, but its worth it later. Thats the point, raiding is so much riskier with the prospect of losing everything if you raid the wrong people. Starting from Square 0 is the point. If someone was raided and lost all their stuff from a superior opponent, well, once again, you need to have a tribe. Soloing then diving straight for mithril/bluesteel (what most experienced players do) would not be a viable strategy, as many players would be raiders. You would need to become a tribe, making farms (i have never TOUCHED farming unless for mushrooms in biowar, i just store/all then reset), then have someone sail for [CENSORED MITHRIL LOCATIONS] in the tribe to get mithril. It would make the game more realistic. 3. Add an ignore option (maybe ignore/Survival303Fan, conversely, unignore/Survival303Fan) so flamers, trollers, and annoying people can be easily ignored. Hardly anyone would use it. It's very easy to ignore someone on the internet, just don't reply to their posts. Anyone who is the kind of person to make someone so mad would be used to it. unless it physically removed them from your game, I see little point. Some people have a huge pride, and are unable to ignore people without a feature allowing them to. Well, that makes it their fault for not being able to ignore people. I feel it would be counterproductive, if I realise I was a jerk and say I'm sorry, but they have ignored me, we still wont be able to make friends. It would just further promote "No apologies". Good point, I didn't think of that. I will change my opinion accordingly. Tl;dr: Don't completely wipe everything someone has done, with no way of getting back to your previous position, without doing everything you just did. People don't like that. Also, if you want to quote me on this, do it in Purple. Makes it simpler to read. tl;dr for my response to your response: Thank you for taking the time to make insightful comments on my post. However, many of my opinions still stand.
