kimbuck 746 Posted September 16, 2019 I tried a few other mp servers other than P1 gaming .. and the experience was similar. Arrived at spawn ...if you are not the first, then there's hardly any resources left, also piles of corpses, and lag due to useless huge buildings that have gobbled up all the resources and are now empty. ---Why would someone build a huge walled structure with 10 of each spinning wheels, weaving looms, smelters, forges and kilns? And its locked. They are not playig the game, so its obviously soem form of passive griefing. You have to find berries or corn or stuff, to survive and most likely someone will arrive and attack you. pve or not! You find an abandoned dinghy and try to move to somewhere else , hoping your supply of berries and fruit last. You are lucky to find land ..and its already been plundered but still some things left. A base has to be built ...if you don't set up and switch on your barrier promptly , someone will destroy your base...( and you .)... should you log out or get logged out by a game crash ! ( and thats often!!!!!) When off line , your base will be raided .. doors left open after they leave,.... players will go through every storage container, take what you crafted and leave behind their rubbish. if not protected, they will destroy it. If you have a tamed horse..it will be killed ..i have seen players working together going around killing all the animals ...including tame horses .. for the " lol's" You explore caves .. they already have been plundered ...same with all the buildings and stuff that's part of the game. So with nothing more to do you log out , hoping to come back and continue collecting stuff to build a ship and explore more You try to return to the game ... and sometimes you wait ages to get in , if at all.!!!! ..... when you do , you are alone on the server. Lag builds .. the game then falls over and thats it !. you try to get back... that game is offline ..never comes back! so you choose another game on another server... go back to the first line of this post and start reading again... So now you know why Ylands is giving a lot of players the feeling its not going anywhere.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indomitus 388 Posted September 16, 2019 I haven't encountered any griefers yet, but I've only just returned to online play a few weeks ago, and I've been really careful about avoiding other players while I gather supplies and get off the spawn island as fast as I can. Been giving a lot of thought to admin capabilities, and even started building a "jail". In what I have so far, the prisoner's time only elapses while they're actually online. If they're sentenced to 30 minutes, then they have to sit and stare at nothing for 30 minutes before they can rejoin the game. Unstuck and Killme not only do not work to free them, but such attempts will start their time over. While in the jail they are set to invincible, so they can't kill each other. All of their belongings are confiscated, and maybe returned after release (still thinking over that part). The only issue is with them blocking sleep requests. One thing that would be nice is if Admin players could do things about barriers that are causing problems. Turn them off, delete them, completely disable them, make changes inside them even when activated, whatever. I wonder if a despawn command would work on one that's been activated, but that would have to be tested in MP with willing test subjects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted September 16, 2019 I used a gun to enforce sleeping. But not like you would hope. The point of sleeping is to get through the overly long nights. I make a gun that sets the time at 8 am. Or you could just kick. With the in game chat you can tell people to sleep now or you will kick. But honestly, why are you keeping someone who needs a 30 minute time out. Ban and be done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Snellgrove 1451 Posted September 16, 2019 But the jail idea sounds very cool, even for like scenario sake. And there could be a hidden way of getting out too...or digging out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedEagle_P1. 905 Posted September 16, 2019 This ram-use chart shows the growth in lag from last restart to next. Usually top out at around 22-24 GB ram being used and then it needs a restart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indomitus 388 Posted September 16, 2019 The jail I have in mind is really for punishing unwanted player behavior, not a gameplay feature. And good luck digging out of mine. It's several hundred meters in the air. And why even have a jail when you can just ban them? Well, it can be connected to logic that can auto-detect certain things, like attacking other players or their tamed horses. A few hits on another player might earn them a few minutes in that limbo, with time increasing with each infraction. The hope there is that they will learn. If not, it can also save their infraction history so an Admin can make a decision next time they're online. (30 minutes was kind of an extreme example. By that point, they'd hopefully be gone already.) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment I have the extra hell for the curious who only come to look, but I thought of something like this, my idea was to put a jail with annoying sounds as punishment and if someone dares to hit Christal's horse, he will be surprised?
