Lets Play! Haven and Hearth : World 5! - Games

[img]http://i36.tinypic.com/mjlg81.png[/img] :siren: The game will be reset somewhere this midnight (Saturday 12th of March_ with a full wipe, and a new map to explore, along with a whole new lp(XP) system! The server might be laggy the first few days/week due to the massive amount of users willing to play - 1000+ is a lot for a student-home-run server! [I]"Haven & Hearth is a MMORPG set in a fictional world loosely inspired by Slavic and Germanic myth and legend. The game sets itself apart from other games in the genre in its aim to provide players with an interactive, affectable and mutable game world, which can be permanently and fundamentally changed and affected through actions undertaken by the players. Our fundamental goal with Haven & Hearth is to create a game in which player choices have permanent and/or lasting effects and, thus, providing said players with a meaningful and fun gaming experience blah blah blah"[/I] Haven and Hearth is a small indie MMO in which you build towns with other players, trade with them, rob them or even murder them. It has a surprising amount of content for an MMO built by two guys in their free time and gets regular updates nearly every weekend. You can build everything you want in this game, whole towns built from nothing but forests, Castle towns built between natural barriers and even fortresses of brick walls as far as the eye can see. Everything in this game is built by players and you can take it all from them. [b]Features[/b] [list] [*] No restraints on player vs player combat. [*] Permadeath - Your rear end is gone when you die. [*] No Item Protection - You can rob people blind, and destroy their stuff. [*] Extensive Crafting - Possibility to make large amounts of varied objects. [*] Extensive Combat System - Not just click and attack, very advanced fighting. [*] Limited Terraforming - Boulders and trees disappear once used. Planted grass and paved stone. [*] No Admin Punishment - You won't get punished for being an rear end in a top hat. [*] No Ingame Staff - Except for the 2 devs. You see them walking around occasionally. [/list] [b]Where is the game?[/b] It uses Java to launch: [url]http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/autohaven[/url] The actual website is: [url]http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/[/url] The trailer is very old, but it does show you how many things have changed since the alpha began in early summer of last year. [b]Do I have to grind?[/b] Not any longer, a new system has been put in similar to EVE online, where you choose what skill you want to level and it will do it 24/7, without you having to be on. [b]Are there monsters?[/b] No, but there is the local wildlife - which can kill you, dont try to fight these until you KNOW you wont die,is determined by how many hearthfires, and cabins are in a area. There are cows, foxes, chickens, rabbits,sheep, boars and bears. You can catch rabbit and chickens with only hunting, just run up to them and right click. Foxes aren't aggressive, Bears get aggressive at level 5. The bears are not to be underestimated, as most people can't fight them. Also flames shoot out of a bear's eyes when its near death, and it hits 100% more often. [b]Is it free?[/b] Yes. [b]Permadeath?[/b] If someone murders your character. You lose a ton. While not full on permadeath, you can make a descendant of your previous character. You lose all of your items, assloads of stats, your player name, you only keep 25-75% of your stats, depending on your sliders. Also this character can't be named after the previous. You also leave a corpse, which decays into a skeleton which is around forever. [list] [*] Leftclick to move, rightclick to interact. [*] Leftclick items in your inventory to pick them up - one click to stick an item to your cursor, another leftclick on your inventory to release it, leftclick in the game world to drop the item at your feet. [*] Rightclick an item in your inventory to open a radial menu of available commands. [*] SHIFT+leftclick moves items from one container to the most recent one you opened. [*] CTRL+leftclick drops items on the ground. [*] Click+drag only works when setting skills/items to your hotbar [*] To use an item on an object, the rule is leftclick item + rightclick target. (For example, leftclick a bucket, rightclick a cow to milk it. Pour tea into a mug by leftclicking the teapot and rightclicking the mug.) [*] To use any sort of constructed tool, like a Spinning Wheel, you need to rightclick it to get your character to walk over to it. Once you do that, you can craft the items that require the tool from the crafting menu. [*] Radial menus will accept numbers instead of mouseclicks for anything besides items. The top choice is 1, then clockwise from there.

Rightclick on the man to fashion yourself a body and the woman to choose a name. If you have died previously on this account, there will be runestones on the left where you can inherit the legacy of one of your past characters. Rightclick on the chest and SHIFT-leftclick all of the items within it to transfer them to your inventory. Press CTRL+E to bring up your equipment window; SHIFT-leftclick your new clothing to wear it. It can be dangerous to go without shoes, so at least wear those. You can enter a hearth secret to the detective in the top corner, this is a password that a user can set so you will be teleported somewhere near that users hearthfire. This can be useful for gathering with other facepunchers. Talk to the person at the top and put the hearth secret as "facepunch" and hit enter, you will see a set of stairs that will take you to our village!

[b]DO NOT BUY SWIMMING EVER[/b] [url=http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/res/skills.png]Skill Tree[/url] [img_thumb]http://i33.tinypic.com/2w71hld.png[/img_thumb] Your default movement speed is set to Walk when you log in. You can cycle through the different speeds by pressing CTRL+R or leftclicking a specific one. As your stamina drains, the higher speeds will become unavailable to you. Sprinting always drains stamina, and Running drains stamina when on forest terrain. Certain terrains will deny you the higher speeds; for example, you cannot sprint on forest and you cannot run in water. [img_thumb]http://i37.tinypic.com/124egd0.png[/img_thumb] Stamina can be refilled by standing still, drinking water, or drinking tea. The first two make you hungrier. [img_thumb]http://i36.tinypic.com/e899aw.png[/img_thumb] The middle three levels of Hunger have no effect; at Stuffed, you slow to a crawl and at Starving you begin to lose HHP. You can die from this! [img_thumb]http://i37.tinypic.com/255t1lc.png[/img_thumb] "Soft" hit points will slowly regenerate while your Hunger is 80+. "Hard" hit points are more difficult to recover, requiring bandaging or leeches. (The former being the safer of the two methods.) [img_thumb]http://i35.tinypic.com/65zrkm.png[/img_thumb] Happiness is a placeholder and does nothing; Authority you dont need to worry about. [img_thumb]http://i37.tinypic.com/2r2aq77.png[/img_thumb] [b]Strength[/b] influences damage for melee combat, how efficient you are at destroying objects/constructions, and affects a bit of the crafting. [b]Agility[/b] determines the maximum distance you can teleport. [b]Intelligence[/b] Affects the amount of attention/mental limit (Unknown how it works now, check for updates) [b]Constitution[/b] affects your maximum hit points and determines how well you swim. Swimming is very dangerous and should only be attempted by veteran players - don't even buy the skill! [b]Perception[/b] affects how well you track criminals and forage for rare herbs. [b]Charisma[/b] is a placeholder attribute currently only used by village leaders. [b]Dexterity[/b] influences many of the crafting skills. [b]Psyche[/b] affects some of the crafting skills. You gain stats from food. Each food item gives a set amount of points towards a stat attribute in the FEP bar, its a total to determine the chance you have when the bar is full to gain said stat. The highest stat determines how many points is needed to finish the FEP bar. [img_thumb]http://i35.tinypic.com/35mli10.png[/img_thumb] When you start, attitude sliders can be shifted one step once every ingame day of played time - every eight hours IRL. Please note that time spent AFK does not count. Each attitude change will also push your character one step towards Change on the Tradition/Change slider. As you become closer to change, sliders can be shifted more often. [b]THIS MAY HAVE CHANGED ASWELL[/b] [url=http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/res/skills.png]Skill Tree[/url] [img_thumb]http://i34.tinypic.com/156v7uh.png[/img_thumb] Let's take a look at these, starting with the Adventure category: [img_thumb]http://i35.tinypic.com/8ye61u.png[/img_thumb] The cursor changes, allowing your character to carry large objects within the game world by leftclicking them. Rightclick to cancel this action. Once you lift something, your movement speed is reduced to a crawl. Rightclick the ground to set it down, or SHIFT+rightclick to set it down aligned to the grid. Carrying large objects drains your stamina. I recommend setting this to hotbar #1. [img_thumb]http://i35.tinypic.com/2135bsy.png[/img_thumb] The cursor changes into a bundle of sticks - leftclick within the game world to ready a buildsite. Which brings us to this window: [img_thumb]http://i34.tinypic.com/jl4ig9.png[/img_thumb] Open your inventory with TAB and SHIFT+leftclick branches to transfer them to the buildsite. Once you have all of the needed materials 'readied', click the build button to complete your campfire. A timer will appear and you will gain LP as the readied materials slowly become 'used'. You cannot place new buildsites on unallied claimed land. You can use them as storage for readied materials, as buildsites never decay. Rightclick your campfire to open its menu. Choose 'Light' - the timer will appear and you will gain more LP. [img_thumb]http://i34.tinypic.com/20h6o3d.png[/img_thumb] For now, this only lets you enter claimed land. It does much more later on. You do leave traces of your crime when you use this, which can be tracked to you (when online) or your hearthfire. [img_thumb]http://i37.tinypic.com/2nva339.png[/img_thumb] If you have the required skill and the needed materials, you can repair damaged objects by leftclicking them with this. Wooden objects usually require Carpentry, for example. [img_thumb]http://i38.tinypic.com/33elx5u.png[/img_thumb] Leftclick on an object to destroy it. This is heavily dependent on your Strength attribute. Equipping an axe gives a bonus; equipping a pickaxe gives an even larger one, but uses both hands. This is a heavy drain on your stamina. Some objects have "soak" and ignore damage unless you have high enough STR to bypass the soak. [img_thumb]http://i38.tinypic.com/2jfaclu.png[/img_thumb] Teleportation! The maximum distance you can travel is dependent on your Agility attribute. Choose from one of several destinations - the Ring of Brodgar, your hearthfire, your village idol, a nearby crossroads. If you are lifting an object, it is taken with you. Using this ability gives the Travel Weariness debuff; you cannot Travel while under this effect. [img_thumb]http://i36.tinypic.com/vzy0r4.png[/img_thumb] Moving on to the Build category, this basket is the first container you can create. It costs ten branches, holds two rows of three slots, and is relatively easy to destroy. Gives LP. [img_thumb]http://i33.tinypic.com/zo7yf.png[/img_thumb] Used to recover from Travel Weariness while logged out, with the Quality of the materials used to determine exactly how quickly. It costs ten straw and one hide. To use it, rightclick it and select Sleep from the menu. (It will automatically send you to the login screen.) You are unable to enter combat as a new character, so let's move on to the Craft category: [img_thumb]http://i36.tinypic.com/2nsylgx.png[/img_thumb] Eating raw meat may eventually cause you to lose health. Rightclick on a lit campfire and select this skill to cook raw meat in your inventory. The Craft button will perform this action once; the Craft All button will repeat this action until you have used all of the required materials. Gives LP. [img_thumb]http://i38.tinypic.com/2cg09ox.png[/img_thumb] A one-handed tool used to create boards from a log. [img_thumb]http://i35.tinypic.com/10891qh.png[/img_thumb] A small cup made from birch bark, for drinking water. Gives LP. Use: Leftclick the kuksa and then rightclick it on shallow water, a well, or a water barrel to fill it. It can also be filled from another item such as a bucket or flask - leftclick the other item and then rightclick the kuksa to pour the water into it. Rightclick the kuksa and select Drink from the radial menu to use it. [img_thumb]http://i37.tinypic.com/207nfcn.png[/img_thumb] The axe is a one-handed tool made from chipped stone and a branch. It is used for treecutting, removing stumps, chopping a log into wooden blocks, destroying objects/constructions, and as a weapon. Gives LP. [list] Useful things new players can do to help out the village: [list] [*] Just generally gain LP for yourself. [*] Pick a job and stick with it (Hunting,farming,mining(eventually), crafting) [*] Gather food aswell as wood for houses/walls(maybe) [/list] [b]THE ENTIRE CRAFTING PART ABOVE MAY BE BROKEN, WAIT FOR UPDATES![/b] [editline]01:42AM[/editline] Links/Resources: [url=http://www.havenandhearth.com/]Official Website[/url] [url=http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/Haven_and_Hearth_Wiki]H&H Wiki[/url] [url=irc://irc.synirc.net/haven]Haven official IRC channel![/url] - Leave a message to g1real to imply you're checking this game out, or on the topic of course.[/QUOTE] AS OF NOW THE WORLD HAS NOT OPENED, IF YOU START AND FACEPUNCH IS NOT AVAILABLE WILDERNESS SPAWN AND SET IT AS FACEPUNCH SO OTHERS CAN SPAWN ON YOU! [editline]13th March 2011[/editline] TL;DR= You can rape pillage steal and murder and noone can do anything about it, admins dont give a fuck, we are starting a facepunch village and it shall be awesome. It is like wurm but 2.5d and no carebear mods

PM the hearth secret , I wanna join up. EDIT ; NEVERMIND LOL , "facepunch" was the hearth of some russians

I know nothing of this game, but burning and pillaging is my aim. How would a group of barbarians fare, who burn and pillage and little...wear? Would the group be tough; strong and gruff, or apon their first pillage, left to bleed in the silage?

Rage costs sooo much to LP buy , but probably

Looks interesting. If I find some spare time, I might check this out.

me too

The new LP system they added to "stop botting" sucks a fat one. Can't earn LP for crap now.

Yeah the new lp system blows. also i set my base as FACEPUNCH

Looks kinda interesting. May be fun to watch FP village rise, then get burnt down to the ground and destroyed within about two weeks.

ok first thing when i go to the guy and type in facepunch Facepunch FACEPUNCH FACEpunch facePUNCH Punchface PUNCHFACE punchface PUNCHface punchFACE it takes me nowhere so i go to the ladder right? spawn and i get attacked by some fucking chipmunk looking thing and i die... so i restart and go up the ladder and i walk around for about 10 minutes and dont find houses or any other shit... wtf?

it's FACEPUNCH all caps.

Ok well I got in but when I left to go get some wood for a fire it wouldn't let me back in, it kept saying this land is Clukington or something like that and I couldn't go inside. Also when I try to build my fire it says I need a beautiful dream or something where or how do I get that?

Ok you can hop on, im on now. Ill hook you up. Tip* In the cave if you come across a little base, DO NOT TOUCH IT! It's a bunch of americans who are decked out, I just made a little treaty with them, If you ever need something you can speak with them though. and try not to touch the bear materials like bones,meat,fur,teeth and skins, you can use the rabbit furs though.

Pm me and we can set up a time cuz I went to bed after tht but I'm about to get on right now

Hey did you touch the boarskin? Was going to use it to make better slings.

I'll give it a try. The pass is "facepunch" or "FACEPUNCH"? EDIT: Ok. I'm in. What do I do? it just says "the land is owned by cluckington" or something like that. Wow, I'm stuck in my hearthfire.

Ok Earl i added you as a friend so you can walk around now. Fabius aswell. i also made a alt-char to make everyone spawn outside yeomanry radius. It would also be nice if your hearth fire that is in the yeomanry to build a new one just outside to fix spacing.

I would like to join if you guys are still playing. My in game name is sgman91. I remember playing the very first fp village in this game... kind of fell apart after a while, but we got pretty far.

k i added you as a friend, But due to stuff noone can touch the stuff in my yeomanry but they can walk around in it. So just build out of it for now.

Is the "Aus and Friends" place ours? Because it still isn't letting me in. [editline]20th March 2011[/editline] Oh... and how do I get LP? It isn't going up...

Im on now if you want to hop on. and yeah the Aus and Friends is my place, Mostly due to my australian friends...well four of em. also tp back to your hearth fire.

I"m on.

K press A>E>H to tp to your hearth fire.

why is there a swastika in the logo :v:

Can you put that third party client up? It would be helpful in the exploring.

Gilbertus Client "Xray,Nightvision,FullScreen.(press control x,control n to activate the commands) [URL]http://www.mediafire.com/?8tc9k6abhbgcv2d[/URL]

How do you actually use it? The "run.bat" does nothing and the Haven java file doesn't let me connect to the server. [editline]21st March 2011[/editline] Never mind, figured it out. I had to change the directories in "run.bat" in order for it to point to the correct java and x32 folders. [editline]21st March 2011[/editline] I also see that you reclaimed your land at the other place you showed me, but it won't let me in.

Yeah i see ya, Ill let you in but try not to take the rare stuff like hides and crap. Had a problem at the other base so i moved up here. The others can keep the house and other cave.

Anyone know if HnH is down or what?
