I'm new to planeshift, but old to RPG's and MMORPG's So I'd thought I'd bite down hard and complete the torturial. I have some questions/thoughts about it tough:
Have you scripted it so the music volume go up when you "complete" these things? When I first found out that the tutorial NPC's had actual voices I turned the volume down so I could hear them properly.
What the voices say are often different than what the text says, and the text is slightly delayed to be in synch with the audio. I'm thinking that it could be my backwater connection acting up.
But when the NPC's start advisning MAC users via the audio, the text just keeps on going (at least the first 2 turtorial npcs does that). Thats extremely confusing. Even when such things doesn't happen it's really hard to follow the instructions.
It all concluded in a nice pandemonium for me, when I was learning to use the forge (I never found out what i needed to learn there) - I had the forge and my inventory open, and I chose to talk to the dwarf NPC - Suddenly a voice speaks out - there's text which is delayed and incorrect - and the music starts off at maximum volume (which I had, at that time, turned completely off). ALL at the same time.
I'm not trying to point any fingers, hell I don't even know if this is bug or an actual complaint. But this is a really strange introduction to a game. Y'know if the turtorial is working this well, is the actual game worth my time?
I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that I'd really like to learn more about Planeshift, but your tutorial wont let me.
