Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) / lickdead problem
« on: December 26, 2004, 01:13:13 pm »
My character rhamous spended 4 progression points to buy some skills, and than the server got linkdead.

Than when the server was up again my progression points were gone but didnt got new skills.

How can this be??
I mean why do some things go and some not????

I mean bad luck for me now, but people might also cheat with this. Sell stuff and get tria, let game crash and keep items and also tria or something :/

Well first, there are some Trias and Hexas laying on the ground in the underground riots (if I say it right).
You just cant pick those Trias and Hexas up (I saw like 3 of them).

I already spoken to Androgos and he said it was a bug. But I didnt know if he forgot it, so just posted it here to make sure :)
btw is it a bug that you cant pick them up or that they are there?

Secondly, there is no way to do any quest! Well atleast not for me. I tried like 3 hours to get one but it doesnt work. I said everything, heres a small conversation from the log:

Quote

(17:37:00) Rhamous shouts: do you need help?
(17:37:00) Percival Hawthorne tells you: I\'m terribly sorry, but I don\'t understand. Maybe if you used different words?
(17:37:09) Rhamous shouts: do you need help?

(17:37:12) Percival Hawthorne tells you: I\'m terribly sorry, but I don\'t understand. Maybe if you used different words?
(17:37:23) Rhamous shouts: need help
(17:37:23) Percival Hawthorne tells you: Err.. can you rephrase that? Your words confuse me a bit.
(17:37:31) Rhamous shouts: helping
(17:37:31) Percival Hawthorne tells you: I\'m terribly sorry, but I don\'t understand. Maybe if you used different words?
(17:37:40) Rhamous shouts: do you need help
(17:37:40) Percival Hawthorne tells you: Err.. can you rephrase that? Your words confuse me a bit.
(17:37:46) Rhamous shouts: do you want help
(17:37:46) Percival Hawthorne tells you: Err.. can you rephrase that? Your words confuse me a bit.


I tried it by MANY NPC;s, just all Icould find. Also said many things like \"Do you have a job\", \"Do you have work for me\", \"Do you have a quest for me\" etc. etc. etc.

Since I dont have any Trias (had some crystals on my old account a long time ago but havent signed in a long time so account is probably deleted or something since the migration didnt worked for me), I see no way to get money, and no money is no weapon and no weapon is no combat so while everybody is fighting I cant do anything :(

I also heared more people were the quests didn\'t worked (heared nobody were it DID work). I might get some Trias from a guildmember, but I think it sucks for alot of people :)



Dont know if you are aware of these problems, but just wanted to tell it to make sure.

Good luck with bug solving and future development of CB!

PvP,PK and Thieving / Everybody listen!
« on: December 23, 2004, 11:06:15 am »
Everybody is complaining about the fact there wont be open PK. Myslef I\'d like to see some PK in the game too (not too much, no mass PK for example, and this is easey to avoid by giving criminals big punishments like prison or something and maybe death panalty after it :P).

But we haven\'t even seen the game!
Maybe this no-PK system works great in PS, only the devs know that. So I suggest to wait until CB/other releases come out, and than decide again. And if it realy sucks and alot of people are leaving, the devs will note that too and it can easily be chang it.

I think the devs know what they are doing, and I trust they will make a wonderfull game from PS :] .
So just leave that poor devs alone alright?

PvP,PK and Thieving / Affraid of your enemys?
« on: December 21, 2004, 01:01:44 pm »
Well, I\'m still abit confused about the combat of PS.
Open PvP might not work, I mean in cities etc. it sucks if everybody can just kill everybody, there should be some places were you can feel \"safe\".

But if you can\'t just attack someone outside cities, there is no need to feel safei n a city, you\'re just safe EVERYWERE.

My question is: can you need to be affraid of enemys? Or maybe: Can you even get enemys????

I mean someone hates me and want to kill me, but I\'m weaker so I don\'t want to fight. Than he\'s running to me and shouting: \"YOUR GONNA DIE!\"
I\'m running away and I\'m scared. He\'s nearing closer.... and closer... and than: \"EnemyX duels you, do you want to accept?\".

I mean that suck sucks, if he\'s stronger you\'ll always press on decline. Same for guild wars, if your affraid of a guild and you can choose if you want a guild war or not you\'ll always choose no. and further you can only attack people in arena\'s right? and in some quest places/dungeons and some special events.
Or does this duelling works different? That you can only decline 1 attack / hour or something :S

I mean if this is only in CB, and will be changed in later version I\'ve got no problem with it. But otherwise you can\'t just have enemy\'s or do I see this wrong? I mean maybe some girls like a game were everyone is at peace, but I\'d like to attack someone when I hate him :(

I hope someone can clear this out,
just if I\'m wrong and combat will be different, if right why this is good and if theres another way to attack enemys so you CAN have enemy\'s..

I also like to know who are against and who are for more PvP places if there only a few in the game.


Thanks,
Rob


p.s I hope you understand my post because I\'m from Holland and when I write long posts I\'m going to explain things completely wrong mostly :S


*******************************************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======================================

EDITED:

Ok, heres my idea of changing the PvP rules, to won\'t get people mass pk etc.
but it WILL let you take revange on people you hate.
First we have ofcourse the duels, and guild wars (must also be accepted by both people).
Than you can fight everybody freely in arena\'s, special events etc.

In guess there will be some \"dungeons\" or caves for example for quests, like a cave were you can find a special sword
that you must return for a reward, or you can ofcourse choose to keep the sword. In this cave it should be freely PvP.
BUT.. in caves for newbie quests it WONT be free PvP, becuase it are still newbies and they dont know the danger of it.

In harder caves for more professional fighters and mages, there SHOULD be free (open) PvP.
I mean they are advanced and should know the risks.
Also alot of places around cities far away from the newbie towns should be open PvP. Newbies that cant fight
should stay in the starting cities, non-fighters should hire mercenaries to escort them to a safe location,
or they can ofcourse take the risk to travel alone. They should be warned before they go in a PvP zone, and newbies with a
character that hasn\'t been in game for longer than 50 hours WON\'T BE ABLE TO ENTER THIS AREA! Just for their own safeness :)

OR, newbies will start in a HUGE city, and to leave this city you should first pass a test in a school, this test will
give you various questions about the dangers etc.
What you need to know before you can do the test? Alot of things, and you can get the answer in the school
by reading the books, asking the NPC\'teachers or by asking online-players teachers :)

Please dont understand me wrong, ALOT of places (like all cities and like 1/3 of the world around the new-players start points)
will be NON-PvP (only by duelling, in arena\'s, guildwars and special events).

This way you dont need to fight if you dont want to, just avoid the PvP zones or avoid enemys in the PvP zones (or hire a bodyguard).
I mean people that dont fight wont go to dagnerous places were they dont have to search enemything isnt it?
Only fighters will go to this places to train against mods or do quests.

Further I think killing others should only give you a very little exp, mobs should give more. This will avoid people
killing alot of people just for the exp. People should kill others only if they are bad and like that, or when its his enemy and
want to kill him becuase of that. If you dont have any enemys you should have to worry about getting attacked isnt it?

So what about it>?

General Discussion / About RPing in PS
« on: December 18, 2004, 04:50:48 pm »
Q:What is RPing?
A:RPing stands for Role Playing. This means you will always act and talk as your character. So DON\'T talk about your new pc or new scooter in the real life, but talk about a new sword you just bought or something.
---

But here comes the point,
in alot of games you see people talking with words as \"noob, or n00b\". Personaly I realy hate it when people say this. I mean please respect new players and people with a smaller brain than others, and don\'t call them noobs when they did something wrong or said something stupids.

In my opinion \"l33t\" talking and words as noob should not be tolerated in the game. I mean when I play a RP i hate it to see \'modern\' idiottalk like this. Ofcourse you can say that from alot of words and maybe even the English language, but thats just different.

Who does agree with me?

General Discussion / fatique?
« on: December 15, 2004, 09:06:37 am »

When you look at this pic: http://www.planeshift.it/pic.php?name=Fighting%20a%20clacker&pic=pix/pics/screens/shot_combat.jpg

Dictonary could not help me :(
I also did a search on this forum but couldnt find it :/

General Discussion / sitting on chairs?
« on: December 11, 2004, 01:50:57 pm »
Just wondering if you can sit on a chair in this game.
I mean in alot of games you can just use an acion \"sit\" and you\'ll sit on the ground, but in most of them you can\'t sit on a chair.

When you look at this pic: http://www.planeshift.it/pix/pics/screens/tavern1.jpg

You\'re seeing alot of chairs, but it seems like you can\'t jump on it and than sit. And In my opninion it would kinda suck if you can only stand in this tavern.

Just wondering what you all think and if someone could answer my question.

Wish list / Sleeping when leaving
« on: December 10, 2004, 04:32:56 am »
What about this, when you stop playing PS you\'ll go sleeping but you won\'t leave the game!

Everybody will be able to steal your items and kill you when you sleep.

Why? Well.. people will need to buy a house to sleep in so they don\'t need to worry about it. They can also hire a house becuase it would be too expensive to buy one for the most people. New people should get a \"Newbie Inn pass\", to get 1 free room at the \"Newbie Inn\" for 1 whole month. Than they will need to search for their own place to sleep.

When in a forest with alot of creatures the creatures might attack you when you sleep. Other poeple should be a problem becuase they mgiht not be able to find you in the forest.
Were should be a skill \"camping\", you\'ll able to buy wood for fire etc. to set up a camp. When you set up a camp you and other people can sleep at this camp. All creatures will be affraid by the fire so they won\'t attack the people.

Ofcourse the world of PS is big, and your house is located in your \"hometown\". You could stay in this town forever, but adventures might want to check out more places. For them they can use \"Inns\", they can pay for a few nights and than they can sleep there a couple of days. This is ofcourse expensive but it\'s only for a few days ofcourse.

You will have normal civillianz if I say it right becuase my English suck, and travelers. Once you stay in a town you will know everybody in that town after a while, and when new people arrive you will know that it are travelers or just new people.



Well?
I think it would be kinda fun :)
This way houses and inns are realy important..

edited:
I always like small MORPG\'s, just becuase you know everybody in the game. With a big MMORPG, with like 1000 of players online everytime you won\'t know everybody and that sucks. With this you will know everybody in you\'re town, becuase you\'ll stay in one town for alot of time and won\'t leave becuase you\'re house is there. But if you want to meet new people you can always go to another town if you want and stay in a inn for a few nights.





*With 1 day, I mean 24 hours in the real world. So when you hire a room in a Inn you will need to leave the room (play PS) within the amount of days you payed for. If not they will kick you and all you\'re stuff out and everybody will be able to take it.

**attacking someone in a city is a criminal act, so when you rob a sleepy person you can be marked as criminal and they could put you into jail or something.
Sleeping in a city, just on the ground and not in a inn or house is also illigal so they could punish you too!

General Discussion / spelling mistake
« on: August 29, 2004, 04:35:35 pm »
Hey,

I dunno if I need to post it here, but i found a spell mistake on the new section about cheats.
Normally it doesn;t matter, but it\'s in the title so i thought let\'s help in case the PS team didn\'t saw it :P
More people might have seen it, but it looks unprofessional when the\'re spelling mistake\'s on the main site in my opinion.

....
Isn\'t cheating useful?    
In single player games  surely it is. It happens many times to be in an adventure game stuck at a certain point and no way to get around it, or to be facing an incredibly powerful monster in a first person shooter game, and have no way to solve it just because ........  

Usefull is with two L\'s :)
This post can be deleted as soon as it\'s fixed :)
And sorry for posting this on the wrong forum if it is.

Wish list / Animals come in the Death Real too
« on: August 26, 2004, 05:54:07 pm »
\"Animals come in the Death Real too\" need to be \"Animals come in the Death Realm too\"

well?

I think it would be cool, if you\'re ped is killed you can visit him in the DR and try to take him back :P

Wish list / Mind Power
« on: August 13, 2004, 05:11:06 pm »
Hey, what about \"Mind Power\" (or call it sometihng else)

There will be alot of types of it, when you use it you will lose energy. You can also become better in it etc.

As soon as you start they will learn you a the most common one: telepatic (I thought it was called that in English :/ (I\'m Dutch))
With telepatic you can call to other players, and they can hear you when they have also learned this. This one won\'t cost any energy! This will be you\'re buddy list that you can fill up with friends. Other things could be: look into the mind of other players (when you do this you\'ll see stats and skills and items of the target player), curse (you will curse the soul of target animal/ player, this could have several effects (there could be many curses, some will weaken the player, do him damage, invert walking or sometihng (when you walk forward you will walk backwards) etc. and many more things. The more powerfull the mindpowers are, the more time it cost to learn them! To learn them you will need to practice. To use them you must stand still, and concentrate yourself, it will cost some time before you can use the mind power.

Wish list / Animals/Monsters -> EXP -> Stronger -> Evolving -> Die
« on: August 10, 2004, 10:15:16 am »
Hey,

I\'ve searched the forum but couldn\'t find a topic that it discussing this.

I\'ve seen one threat were they were talking about EXP for monsters, that when you lose the monster will gain EXP and will become stronger. This wouldn\'t work because some of these creatures in newbie places could become very powerfull and kill all newbies. However.. What if there were 2 types of creatures: Wild and tammed. Wild creatures don\'t get any EXP points. tammed creatures (these creatures are owned by a player) WILL get EXP. They will raise a level when they have enough EXP and they will be able to learn more attacks and they will become more powerfull. But I also think it would be cool when they evolve! For example a baby dragon could evolve in a dragon, and a dragon could eveolve in a Giant Dragon or something. But that\'s not all, creatures could evolve in more things, for example a dragon that constantly lives in hot places will become a fire dragon and when they live in places with ice they will evolve in a ice dragon.

Another thing, what if creatures get old? The longer they live the older they willl become. Each day is a year for the creatures/animals, and when the\'re old the are less powerfull than when they are young. And when they are too old they will die. They will evolve based on time.


Tell me what you think.

Wish list / Races and special races ability's
« on: May 21, 2004, 03:36:02 pm »
I saw another threath were they want more races.
I agree with it, but I also think there should be special \'ability\'s\' for each race! There also need to come evolutions!

For example:


You\'ll be able to start playing as vampire. Specials ability\'s of the vampire could be \"change into a bat, so you could fly away\", or \"bite another player so he will be an vampire too if he doesn\'t take a cure\".
The vampire could evolve into Dracula or another bigger vampire :)

More races could be \"Elves\" with as special ability that they can hear (read) more messages from more far away than normal people could do! Becuase Elves have big ears and they can hear well :)

Another race could be a werewolve, this \"human\" wil change into a wolve at night! As wolve he will be much faster and he has a higher attack, only he can\'t use items or spells.


I think it would be fun :)

Wish list / Dreaming (2D world)
« on: May 10, 2004, 02:07:03 pm »
I realy like 2D MMORPG\'s and the best would be an Planeshift in 2D :P:P:P
But that will probably not come.. so what about the following:

In the game you will be able to \"dream\", you can go to inns and sleep there, than you will be able to dream.

When you dream you\'ll be in a new world, this world will be 2D, you walk as a 2D character etc. but you will still have your weapons... It\'s a sort of Zelda world were you can do various things :)

Later people will learn you how to get in specials world while dreaming, on this way you can get in places. When you find weapons in these dreams you\'ll be able to pick them up later in a the \"dreamhouse\" or sometihng lol :P




...
...

Ok, I know that you think i\'s sucks, but maybe is you change some tihngs it would be nice :P

Or just about the idea of 2D in the 3D PS in general, you could just make some 2D dungeon\'s or something , I think it would be cool  :P
