Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates
Posted by Mat on 12 Jul 2016, 12:26 pm
We have been consolidating and reviewing a lot of feedback on various rules we have, and are happy to announce that all of the updated rules have been released.
1. The Terms of Service no longer forbids breasts, but instead focuses entirely on nipple exposure. Breasts are now allowed on Painties as well as artwork posted on Furvilla provided they follow the nipple rule. We feel this best represents a SFW environment while also not implying sexualization of people with that body shape.
2. The Terms of Service clarify our position on game asset trading with other browser games. The short answer is, we are fine with trading, however, we would like you to wait until the game is out of beta before doing so.
3. The Code of Conduct now indicates that CSS should not be used to cover or alter game stat information, including hiding or altering your or your villager's stats, or replacing your villager's image with CSS.
4. Our Forum Rules have now been updated to indicate that the phrase 'illegal drugs' refers to United States federal law, as there are discrepancies between the laws of different countries regarding what is an illegal drug, as well as individual states within the US.
5. Finally, after taking in all feedback with Painties and speaking with our Paintie moderators, we have completely revamped the Painties rule page in a way we hope clarifies everything regarding Paintie rules. We have been struggling with the inventive ways that players are creating some Painties, but unfortunately some are created in ways we did not intend for our bases to be used. We hope that this guide clarifies what we consider permissible for the use of our bases and helps clear confusion.
That now covers all the rules that have been changed thanks to your feedback. We also wanted to let you know that moderator applications are now closed. We received over a thousand applications and have hired our team. We do not yet have an ETA on releasing the forums as the moderators are occupied with ironing out issues with Painties. We will provide you an update when we have an idea of when the forums will be ready to re-release.
Last, here are a list of changes that have been implemented since Monday, the majority of them from suggestions e-mailed to us:
- grayed out Change Career button when idle
- destroy unwanted recipes from career page
- removed white gradient on long Private Messages
- Transfer Currency / Transfer Item on user page
- horizontal scrollbar appear in the message box when needed
- view all recipes/their reagents for reference: searching items in the museum now provides a list of reagents (for recipes), or a link to the recipe that crafts the item, or links to all recipes that use the item
- placed a button in the blacksmith career page that straight away takes you to repair requests
- Villagers page indicates which villagers are sick and with what
- item pages now include links to NPC shops if the item stocks there
- Paintie Removal button to strip a Paintie from a villager at the user's request
- the following items can now be used from the inventory on villagers who are not the active villager: medicines, pets, recipes, costumes, species potions, hp potions
while pets are being discussed can I get some help? What exactly do I do with pets? The have the little heart thing on profiles with a zero next to it for me. What's that for?? I've seen profiles with higher numbers and I'm confused.
SenshiSilence I don't think I have anything from that area, so anything works! I've also got a female white spirit for trade.
Arioch1530 (Sorry for the late response) What animals do you want? If need be I can go searching for them if I don't have something you want. Feel free to keep any pets afterwards if you wish, if not you can send them back or sell them.
Azzie I'll send the Hydra right off then, It'll be a female since I already have a domesticated female I want to keep the male for domestication, feel free to keep her afterwards if you wish, if not you can send her back or sell her.
Arioch1530 This is a common thing in games. If FV uses a system I'm familiar with, then each item of potency has its own specific item ID, as well as having some kind of 'tag' on the item declaring potency (and creator, which mucks things up even more). I'll take a wild guess and say that this system is shared between weapons/armor and medicine, making it impossible to stack these items. The game has to keep track of what item (Medicine 5%, Sword 32), the durability (14/32), and the origin (Creator), and this makes stacking impossible.
Basically, it's a programming barrier that could possibly be removed with the 'origin' field, but I doubt it's a priority to do so given that it could introduce a game breaking bug if equipment and medicines share enough of their code.
The times on the Paintie submit and cancel are wrong ^^
SenshiSilence I'm from foxbury but don't have any fpxbury pets to trade, I can trade you a Black Birb for a hydra though?
SenshiSilence I've got a pair of black bats (male and female) that are available for trade for leveling.
Also totally willing to trade undomesticated animals from Foxbury for leveling purposes. I have a Brown Chest, Bronze Fairy, Snowy Griff and White Hydra at the ready for trade.
Mutiny I saw several pages back that you did as well so you deserve some congrats as well.
Now for my opinion:
Explorer Changes: Love 'em. I always felt Hotaru(My 3rd explorer) was under used by only using 10 of her turns. Also the button is much better without playing chase the button XD.
AH: Waiting on my first Domestication to finish, please hold...
Carpenter/CW: Could go either way, I'm ambivalent to it, doesn't really bother me, funny thing though when I switched Haruka back to CW their skill was 123 XD. Also this gives me an excuse to finish off my 100 pots each for both Blair and Azula.
Blacksmith: Eh, I don't use Warriors or Blacksmiths, maybe I'll try it again after I grind Haruka back up to snuff in CW. XD
Costumes: I didn't plan nor do I currently use Costumes for Buffs so again doesn't really affect me. On that note I'm willing to pay cost on a Reaper Scythe Blueprint and Reaper Pattern Book.
Re, AH: It seems to help? I see no problem with it but thats only one Domestication so maybe later I'll complain.
Is that it? I think so. Either way those are my opinions.
Any idea why medicine of the same potency doesn't stack? I understand 5% not stacking with the 95%, but once we're at 100%, it feels like they should stack.
