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
On a happier(?) note, and as a sort of derail (because I am ridiculously excited right now, forgive me), but Pokemon GO is live in EU countries now, so there's that!
Of course, servers exploded, but... yanno... *coughs*
Welp, there's nice weather (for me, anyway) today. :D That's something to be happy about. *Low key returns all her villagers to AH in the meantime.*
On that note it'd be handy if news comments were sorted by oldest first so if someone has a question that's been answered you can tell them to check page so-and-so. But that doesn't work with newest first XD
So, I was just going to ask why suddenly all my weapons lose durability while only using one, but I guess it's just an (unfortunate) update then?
Yes, Junion , that's what we established the last 5 or pages XD Worst sneak update of the week award goes to Warrior Class, haha. But the FV team have been pretty good about listening to feedback so far, so hopefully this'll take a turn for the better. I mean hey, at least my blacksmith no longer needs 10 hours to repair a spidershield! We'll test the limits and our feedback hopefully ends up in everything being more balanced and playable by the time registration opens anew ^^
And the reason this is the disgruntled warrior camp..as some call is.
Is that this is a huge change that suddenly turns a so called 'beginner class' into a class that requires about 4 or 5 other villagers to support it..just for repairs. I'm honestly fine, I've got enough money and steel saved up. But this is just an overall nerf to warriors capabilities, nothing more. Nothing was really given back, at all. This is why people are kinna ticked off about it.
The battle system needs a bit of an overhaul...the warrior class in general does. They chose to take one of the parts that at least wasn't that bad..and made it much worse overall.
People are going to complain about it...because bringing it to peoples attention that this is not a good change, is how you get it changed. And bringing it to more peoples attention so they'll start spreading the news too helps even more.
SeaSnek Yup, you can no longer call it a base job at this point, it's at least on par with Intermediate, if not Artisan, due to its dependency on another advanced class to get anywhere now XD

Eh I've started enough warriors..i can get you up and running on one real fast. The trick is that you can equip better stuff as you get more kills.. and better weapons ups your damage, while better shields give you more HP.
since as how we share olde foxbury I can tell you our weapons are considered some of the worst. This update might change that I'm not sure..but ours are some of the worst. Elaborate hilts, by the way, drop from monsters whose name has "rare" in it.
But pretty much look up the name of some other weapons..and put them on your warrior. The bonuses add up...part of why I'm not flaming rageing at this..other than to be annoyed..as damage from all weapons are added together anyway. Also find a good cheap shield with high HP, helps too.
Is there a place where we can send ideas to make this site better?
Kijame It's a reasonable camp to be in. I'm looking at 300 steel and four and a half hours of repair time for every four hours of warrior grinding. That's ridiculous. I found it much more reasonable to spend that much steel and repair time in exchange for the twelve and a half hours of warrior grinding from yesterday. Warrior needs to be bumped up closer to Blacksmith in star rating now.
