Trapping New Players at Spawn with Bones


Recommended Posts

Usually they'll let you in if you're nice and not annoying. Wait to die of starvation or figure out a way to die faster, and then find their base on the map and fly to it. People will generally revive you. You also need at least 100-200 hours on your steam profile usually...

It's annoying but unfortunately there's not much you can do to fix it.

Sure there is, find another server that has at least one admin online from time to time to remove pesky traps or pricks that do such things. Insisting into playing on a server that clearly has been griefed basically means that you are badly want to have your base burned, smash stolen and so on.

Its like a secret trial of old age

-"Thou shall not pass the ancient circle of bones and will perish to certain death by darkness or famine, UNLESS... you supply our brethren with the right answers:...

  • Question one: Art thou going to ask where lies our humble encampment? Yay or nay?
  • Question two: Art thou going to picketh Willow?
  • Question three: Did thou exist on this realm of sorrow and death for no more than 50 hours?..."

Etc..

This would make me want to obliterate their settlement. Blood for blood.

Not saying I would but come on, there are more player friendly ways of doing things.

100% agreed, this is a great way to get bad blood in a new player towards the existing players. What a nice way to enter a server haha.

Good thing i only play with friends or alone. I've often thought about trying public servers but every time, the experience has been awful

Well here's a thought to ponder upon: maybe if the repeated, virulent griefers like Clouds (cr@pping on people's work and entertainment right from DST beta tests) would have been dealt with by Klei, all this present insanity regarding the blocking of portal after first autumn would have not occurred?! Drastic problems beg for drastic solutions.

It's natural selection, really.

The concept of natural selection is that the strongest will survive, not the ones with fossils/ end table bluprints/ life giving amulets. Plus it's refering to animals not video games

It's been my observation that natural selection is not so much survival of the strongest, but rather survival of the barely adequate.

Unfortunatelly we can either have a bone blocking server or the one that is not worth playing. 

I'm in a endless server and it's like day 500+ and this is how things are going: 

There is no base. Nope. Not even a science machine. I've tried creating a base in oasis and this is how it went:

-placed down science machine(was playing as wicker so didn't need alchemy), chest, fridge and 2 crockpots, birdcage, and a bunnyman hutch for future farm

-asked a guy that was with me to take care cuz I'm leaving. 

-when I relogged everything was burned down. That's the worst fricking thing. It was burned down not even hammered. So someone just came burned everything down and left. Items from the chest were still on the ground, fridge and birdcage were untouched. Just a griefer that wanted to ruin even a small glimpse of fun that could happen.

What do I do? I go to the caves to my secret cave base. I entered through some random sinkhole. It spawned me in someone else's cave base.... or at least what's left of it. Burned bunnyman hutches and pig houses. Burned kitchen, burned storage. Again not even hammered. Someone went there just to burn everything down. I felt bad cuz that base looked like it had time put into it. Spider farm with rock lobsers. Cave stairs blocked off with walls...

On the other hand the klei-hosted server that had florid and all touch stones walled of with bones and end table was on day 2500+ with a megabase that even had zoo with trapped koalefants and all. There was even a special place where everyone placed down signs with their names on them. That was a server where killing Antlion gave me more fun then spending 35+ days on the server I talked about earlier.

It's almsot impossible to enjoy this game if you're not playing with friends/alone. 

In solo games killing shadow pieces for the 10th time and farming ruins is normal thing. In random servers it's an achievement to make a base that lasts for over a year. And even for that to happen you need to make it basically in the ruins.
