Hey guys and gals, time for a quick update on minecrafting:
Major update:
* Achievements!
There's now a bunch of funstuff for you to figure out.
Everytime you achieve something new, find something special or
otherwise reach a milestone you'll be awarded an achievement.
First of all: This is optional. You can turn them off, never to
hear from them again. If you don't like'em, just switch
them off (see below). The achievements are not something that will
give others an upper hand if you don't want to see them, you'll get
them anyways, just incognito.
The achievements are purely there for your entertainment. You will
be awarded achievement points that can be used in the future for
merchanting stuff (when the system has been deemed working). Each
achievement will award House points in accordance to their value.
There are a ton of them to find, just try everything. They will not
be announced publicly, but nothing stops you from telling what you
found. In the near future when everything works fine, see Sniffles
for fun statistics.
Now this is important, please please read this completely:
Some achievements will be earned for the first time even if you're
accomplished them before. E.g. find something specific in a mine.
This is because the formula of finding stuff in the mines has been
altered and there should be a level playfield.
Some achievements will hit you like a freight train with spam when
you attempt something after this update. e.g. find a certain amount
of certain material. For example if there's a multiple tiered
achievement for finding materials, when you find it first it will
complete all the tiers in one hit.
The minecrafting skill has been updated so you can turn these off
or see your achievements. Use:
'use minecrafting at toggle'
If you want to see your achievements use:
'use minecrafting at achievements'
There will be a hall of fame for those you want to showcase their
stuff, but that is after the system has been tested.
There will be more achievements, there will be lost of new stuff
concerning this, there will be everything, as soon as everything
works properly.
Minor updates:
- Minecrafting skill duration has been lowered.
- The amount of stuff that you can find from mines has been increased.
- All prices at Sniffles have been reduced significantly
- Fireflies and salves are now charge-based, not duration
and they WILL save (if abused somehow, it will be dealt swiftly)
- You can now force collapse mine on containers if they're opened.
Decayed mine still collapses on everything.
