Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: How to help Newbies. Some thoughts and ideas.
« on: September 11, 2023, 09:59:08 am »
Find a way to easily see who is online. This is a double-edged sword though since players attract more players, and no players detracts potential other players.

Add a discord integration that 1. says I am playing Planeshift right now, 2. allows certain users to monitor the help channel or something, and 3. gets a notification when someone joins, again a double-edged sword.

Make the tutorial dead simple, like walking along a corridor, only need to go forward together with a narrating NPC. An alternative would be having some players guide new players.

In-game tutorials, show pictures of how to do different things, how to attack, how to cast magic, how to craft, and how to add skills to the skill bar. I know there are some in the well-hidden, help book. Let it pop up on the screen or something.

Make some "events", beginning with weekly but ideally daily, this will not be GM events, just player meetups at Hydlaa and the tutorial zone. Keep the in-game Global chat active (I know some will hate me for this rather non-roleplaying suggestion.)

Engage people on social media to join the game. This is the most difficult way but the only one to get more exposure.

Identify obstacles that keep players from playing. Listen to the feedback and consider. Right now the feedback is rather little through so we need to collect more opinions.

I would not recommend linking the forums through, but the Discord for sure!

Thank you, must have gone the forum way and downloaded the wrong version. While I am at it, is there any way to increase the ambient light, even with a torch, I cannot see anything?

Hello, I try to play a character on the unreal game version 0.7.27, but it keeps throwing me back at login with the message "Your connection has been lost". Additionally, I cannot see my character avatar, it is empty. I try to use the production server. Are there any logs or anything else helpful to help you tackle the problem?

Forums are dying. I don't know why exactly but they do. I for one like forums, it serves it's purpose and allow different things to be discussed. But nowadays younger people tend to prefer other ways to discuss things such as Discord that I never understand the popularity off. That Discord saves things and use it for advertisement (?) bothers me too. Perhaps I am too old for such things.

I am glad that the game still goes on. I am curious about the UE development too, seems there are a lot of progress and I am looking forward to it.
Good job everyone.
Perhaps we can try get some more posting in the forums. The website itself looks dead without some concrete activity.

I check this site ever so often but I never see anything happen here. When I have time I will check out the game again. It have a certain unexplained gravity that pulls me back. :)

So, still some life in there. What the new version will bring is very interesting. Hopeful someone are around to play when the time comes. Although Falmer is not as old as Aliencat Aliencat I have played for a somewhat long time.

The question is, if this will be in Planeshift?  :detective: Little disappointed about the link, thought it would be a Planeshift clip...
