wow. This is some serious... stuff. Very nice... It would be nice to be able to interact with a guild in that way. Another cool thing would be to be able to apply to join a guild and maybe set up an interview with the leader, or a member who can admit members through an NPC secretary or an NPC of the similar job description.

Also, a guard NPC... the ability to climb would allow another player to sneak into a guild house and rob the treasury or do some espionage. Maybe alter some stuff. A guard NPC would be tough and not only had to see you but touch you = (get close enough to see your face) and could turn you in for a fine or seizure of good to the City guards, you also could pay him off (kinda like Fable) Or the guard could beat you senseless and you'd have to answer to the guild or the city guards. Of course, there is always the option of running from town and you'd be an outlaw for a set amount of time. 1 hr or sometime where you can't some back to the city.

Anyway, here are my add-on suggestion.
Nice work dude.

you really wouldn't be that bored looking for platinum or something. You'd actually be excited on hitting the jackpot and maybe even try to dig faster, i mean getting a few platinum ores in a row feels kinda nice.

But still... yes i can see the endurance bit but a (80 agility 75 endurance 50 strength) (50 will 50 charisma 70 intelligence) 170 to 205. even if endurance weighed more than the rest. 105pt gap? Anyway the point i was trying to make is that minimal use of mental stamina should be used when doing physical activities.

My character has 80 agi, 70 int, and 75 endurance. and the rest are at 50. so it shouldn't have been that much of a difference but it about a 105pt gap.

I was just hypothetically speaking that if a skill was to be chosen to be implemented first, then... i know they're working hard, all the testing, script writing, debugging. It is really hard work. I'd love to get a job with them but i don't have much free time and don't i could apply because of my age (17)... I've only written 2 websites in my life, and only written script for them with links and stuff. But writing game codes in a whole new level of script writing with If <action1> then <reaction1> If <action 2> then <reaction2> and a whole slue of stuff. I really appreciate what they do, it's just i was speaking my mind in a hypothetical situation.

Let's hear you opinions on what skills in the 'Various' category should be implemented first and why.

I think that the 'Hide in Shadow' ability should be first since it allows player more advantages against creatures when starting the attack. I think there should be a bonus damage also when attacking when in stealth. Attacking would break the stealth but it'd give you the advantage. Also the 'Backstab' skill would increase this damage.

 :devil:Aside from advantages, it would make dark and evil characters more realistic. Some bandit or assassin isn't going to walk up to you and say your money or your life in the real world. They're going to sneak up behind you, put a knife you your throat and take what they want. Simple as that. So that why i think the 'Hide in Shadow' ability should be the first one implemented.

Alright... i've already suggested this in the Forum Issues, but it was recommended here. This will need some touch ups but it's a great format for Planeshift info.
The would be a forum where player could write 'How-To's so other players who don't want to ask dumb questions or if they just want to know how something is done in-game. There'd be a format which players would have to write their 'How-To's or add 'How-To' processes to an already done topic. This would be the 'wiki' of Planeshift. Topics could be removed or edited by moderators at any time. (More specifics at the bottom)

Example:

Topic: How to Mine

Specific Statement: This will guide a player in the act of mining.

Requirements: A pick, a place to mine with available resources, and sufficient mental and physical stamina.

How to:
1) Find a location to mine by asking other players or by finding one yourself. Finding one yourself can be very hard and tedious, and without prior experience, is nearly impossible.
2) When a mine is found, equip the pick in the right hand slot on your character.
3) Dig for the appropriate mineral available by typing /dig iron. You can replace the iron with any other mineral that can be mined.*

Hints and Tips
1) You will not always get the mineral you are trying to mine. In truth, you actually have a low chance of getting the desired mineral on the first try so don't give up. You can raise your chance of getting a mineral by increasing your mining level. Also the more precious the mineral, the less chance you have of obtaining it.
2) You will only be able to mine as much as you can carry and if you go over you will have to get rid of items or the some of the mineral to move again. You can trade though, so if you are planning to sell the minerals, then you can get rid of weight by selling.



(end of example) Ok, as you can see, it will need to be a full 'How-to'. Although this is nice for those who just don't get it, it will need some discretion so that it will still leave fun in finding out some of this to the player. Vague and hints are suggested in the 'How-To' but please make it good enough that it's not just some riddle or that only experienced player know what is being talked about. There are some helpless newbs that need some help but don't want to ask, or are being ignored. So please consider this as a possible forum.
