Anyone else want more chaos???

Been playing since alpha and love the addition of the rook and the JuJus, but I still think we need some more chaos, conflict and randomness. Everyone seems to be so kind and helpful (which initially is really great), but I think it gets old. We need some conflict. Just some ideas:

-Earthquakes and other natural disasters
-More bad or mischievous NPCs (JuJus are a good start)
-an evil god??? (encouraging chaos and destruction)
-skills that are openly harmful (lowering mood, energy, ect.)
-some sort of evil cabal (player created, killing trees, kidnapping pigs, etc)

Just some ideas. Might spice up the gameplay. You need some bad in life to really appreciate the good. Let me know what you think.

  • That estrogen thread was pretty conflict-oriented, lmao.

    BUT ANYWAY, I did suggest in some other thread recently that it would be cool if the giants smited random players occasionally.

    As for skils that are openly harmful... I really don't like that idea. A lot of this game revolves around altruism and good will, which I love, even if it does get "old."

  • Yeah I really find the altruistic nature of this game very unique, and I think that would be even more so if there were some bad guys to really make you appreciate the good players. I have a funny feeling I might be going rouge and creating a little chaos to amuse myself in the next test. Anyone feel like joining me?

  • I think there are already some groups (in the Groups section) with this intention, haha.

    I agree that it would be nice to have some chaos and conflict added, but nothing that could directly hurt Glitchen. Things that could kill animals, or graffiti on houses, etc, would be cool, lol. Then there's the sneezing powder and splanking and all of that stuff. :P

  • I for one wouldn't like to see more chaos...chaos leads to confusion, confusion leads to frustration and inactivity...

    I would however like to see more unpredictability, more complex randomization, more skill sets to be able to do more things, more flushing out of the current skill sets (more things to do with block makers, fuel makers, metal ingots, crystals, powder making (of the non-mystical quality), etc.).  I think having more things to do would be more fun and less boring.

    To me, 'creating chaos' is essentially griefing, and is annoying at best...I get enough conflict in RL...I want a game to have fun and relax, not be annoyed and irritated.

  • LOL @Cerulean, I love the smiting idea. Seriously! What if walking past a shrine where you have less than x amount of favor means a random chance of smiting that would reduce your current mood/energy by 25% or something like that. That would be hilarious! I can just see people running past shrines as fast as they can. :)

  • Hmmm, guess I wouldn't be playing the game much anymore if they implemented 'smiting', since I don't do the donating to shrines thing, and I guess I'd always be below that likely x amount of favor...

  • Not big on the smiting idea...  still don't like the jujus too much either, so I just avoid that part of the world.     The potential to be smited (smitten?) on every single street does not appeal to me at all.

    I don't necessarily dislike random chaos...  like the rook attacks.   Earthquakes is an interesting idea.

    But I definitely don't want to have to fight off bad guys/other players.   There are plenty of those kind of games already and I'm not a big fan.

  • The only shrine to the evil god could be in Hell!

  • Fairly new player -- I'm loving the game, though. I like the storm idea -- and then any characters that have chosen to wear raingear would be protected. I'd like the idea of being able to construct an umbrella, even a kind of makeshift one (imagine using the tinkertool to craft one out of a shovel and a bunch of cabbage leaves, or from a hoe and the shirt on your back...). The items you used to make the umbrella would be used up or rather depleted, and various crops might be ripped out of the ground.

  • +1 for smiting, storms, unpredictability and a shrine in hell :)

    Not keen on the idea of player created evil, although I can see that developing naturally...
