I have skimmed over some of the other stuff, but I hope my focus on this quote is what I am focused on. Your thread title stirrs certain things in my thoughts of what I want for this game, and in a quick skim of your commentary, I can understand and agree to you from what I gathered.
There’s very few things I would want to change in this game if I were given controls over a world, a world following most of the current Official World rules.
- No Snow
- No Mobs
- No Stamina Drain
pauses to recall everything I dont like about Boundless, feels I am lacking recalling some aspects
4) Instant crafting times (but this might damage the feel of Official Worlds)
5) Whitelist
2 and 5 details: Briefly put, I have unresolved reflexes that interfere with my enjoyment of things, including Boundless. I cant handle certain things, and other things cause me debilitating physical issues for hours sometimes days, I do my best to avoid these aspects in this world that has so much to enjoy (you dont stop driving a car because of the rare chance of a car accident, so you do your best to avoid idiots on the road, etc). Example of my unwanted reflexes: I was on “Party World” for hours having alot of zen fun, but without any warning, BOOOOM in-game, I screamed in real life and literally ran to the other room. Someone had thrown a bomb and scared me so bad, it took me over 3 hours to recover from the physical effects of what my body does when I am suddenly spooked. I also was so verbally loud, that the screams woke my neighbors. This is a reflex in my body I absolutely hate, and so I have to avoid certain circumstances, and this includes situations in online games. Whoever did that bomb on me, if you are reading this, I understand that you have no way to know how badly that hurt me irl. You need not say anything. You now know. That awareness I hope is enough to stop you when you consider doing that to a stranger again.
For that kind of thing that other players do for whatever fun it gives them, I want my own locked world, just me and my friends, but I need no mobs option, and non-infinite item supplies. “Mostly” like the current planets but in a few ways changed. I can handle the snow, tho annoying, I can handle the craft time, tho annoying, but I need a world where I do not have to be mindful of the location of wandering non-player creatures, or terrified by some rando scaring me so bad I had to change my panties (yes, this happened with that party world incident). If you dont believe me, look up wiki fight or flight, that is what I experience my body doing under certain triggers, that can and do happen from playing online games.
Getting a placid isnt the answer to my non-mob desires. Placids still has the issue of accidentally hitting mobs while trying to build.
P.S. I still dont get why people have issues with me talking about myself in real life when my real life story has to do with what happens in games. I’m not violating any rules as I keep real names and locations out of the public comment.
