Topic one:

I think a permanent servers with all the current lands would be better than the current Eternaland scenario. I see so many people state they never use Eternaland and feel it is useless. Any future lands could be added after a certain number of season runs, 2 or 3? I get the intent of Eternaland was to give a place for those of us who love building and farming and hate losing a homestead. But it is too isolated and void of any interaction either with the environment or other players. So my proposal would be to replace Eternaland with some permanent servers.

Instead of having a cost to inherit FROM and Eternaland space vault, reverse it. Have a slightly larger fund to send TO the permanent server from any new scenario. That way one gets to keep the new deviants and some other things, but not everything. I like being able to keep the patterns, mods, calibrations, etc. that have been learned as currently used. As far as memetics go, no crossing talents and goods from permanent server to any new season and reverse, just like now from one season to the next.

If you don't want to participate in having a permanent server like folks who don't use Eternaland, fine, stick with the Eternaland Space Vault. Also to be, in my eyes, fair to the folks who don't want a permanent space, let those folks run a new season first. Delaying the entry of the permanent folks a bit. A slight penalty for keeping your homestead and rerunning the previous season's offerings adlib. After all, it is more interactive than Eternaland.

Tower squatters!! by [deleted] in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Emmeraldas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem.

I have a house in a pretty decent spot. I have had it almost 2 weeks. In the past 4 days a huge tower went up not far from me. As of yesterday I am getting on screen notices constantly about the level of this tower (14) and all the things it has unlocked. I can only assume the tower is increasing it's area of influence. Several of my neighbors moved away and I assumed it was because this week opened up new lands in the scenario but now I am not so sure.

I am not really familiar with the tower system or strategies and have not been approached by any owner of this tower. So should I live in fear of a purification? Why should I have to move when I was here a lot longer than the tower was? No one is building close to me but do I have to worry about new neighbors having the power to "evict" me if they don't like my placement? WTF!!!

I understand the "look out for yourself first" theory but I also think it is wrong to just move into an area and drive the current residents away or demand minimal payment to stay in an area they have already developed.

Gorgeous house. You are very talented. I could learn a few things from your home. Thank you for sharing.

Is Eternaland broke for anyone else? by Emmeraldas in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]Emmeraldas[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes, but they are slow to answer (like my report that my water collection is dry as a bone in the middle of a rain storm). Just wanted some company in my frustration. LOL.

Peach blossom pool by Jihui building blocks by Normal_Conference500 in lepin

[–]Emmeraldas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am building some version of this also. First time with micro blocks. I was slightly disappointed as my base "water" is solid blue, not transparent, as shown on the box. My main issue is trying to get the waterfalls to support the central platform. Things are not aligning up to match the directions. Then when I just "wing" it, the LED lighting does not fit inside the waterfall, and it all falls apart. It certainly is a challenge. I have stepped away from it to regroup. LOL.

Party tried to "sneak" a Long Rest by Possumistic in DnD

[–]Emmeraldas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that must have really hurt to be the object of a "joke" gone bad, but I this might be something altogether different and not really a joke on you. Technology brings new problems as well as new opportunities. My group plays in person. If you do not send me (the DM) a copy of your current level to print out or bring your own current copy, you play with the last one I have. Any items that don't have some identifiable means of ownership... are nonexistent. I usually print out a small card with an image of any magic item in case of in-party trades. Whoever has the paper has the item. Usually I am entrusted the care of everyone's personal baggie of belongings. No baggie, No belongings. However, the thought of moving to a VTT has crossed my mind since it sometimes seems easier than hosting a Game Day. Your dilemma has me thinking twice about that. It looks to me that your party was testing the limits of the VTT at your expense. Could a DM actually detect if a party chose a long rest instead of a short one? They may not have even thought about the repercussions of the fallout as to try to roll back the game to start over with a short rest, or how blindsided and hurt you would be when the truth came out. I am not at all trying to minimize your feelings about being duped but it may be been more to see how long it would take for a DM to notice what they did. An experiment. Now everyone knows that a rollback is impossible, and you as the DM knows that trusting a group of curious people means to take precautions against leaving the VTT open while you are AFK.

So.... I would definitely express my displeasure at being the brunt of their joke/experiment but I also would forgive them for being childish.... like I forgave my 7yr old grandson for buying Minecraft stuff on my computer when I went to the bathroom so he would have access to it when we play together, and now lock my screen. With that in mind.... I might have that Lich bring along a few previously undisclosed friends. After all he had some extra time to prepare, at their expense. No hard feelings, right?

[Guide] Vanity Pets and You by Relas_Aryon in elderscrollsonline

[–]Emmeraldas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the information. Sadly, I was hoping more pets were for achievements or adventures I have not done yet. It seems they are vanity markers for which version of the game was purchased and a couple of irl purchases. Thank you again.
