Q: when will CB come out?
A: As it has been said before so many times ?Not even the devs know or have set up a release date?? so just wait like the rest of us?
Q: How large will CB be when it is released?
A: Androgos: \"My guess would be 300-380MB\" see:http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=9923&boardid=13&page=1
* Ok, I am setting up this thread (which may be updated later when I have more time) to prevent some or the Threads associated with this subject, if you want to discuss anything CB you can post it here *
* To the mods: you can just point CB posters to this thread & close the thread immediately *
* Post a question or previously asked Question/Answer here & I can add it to this Faq. Also please make sure the question hasn\'t been answered already before you post. *
I\'d also like to say that this should be kept a FAQ only, and not a discussion thread. If you want to discuss some of the Q/A\'s here, do it with the person who posted it, and through PMs. Otherwise we will have a thread where it is impossible to look for the useful new additions because of all the spam and generally useless posts. - Gronomist
Edit: To Gronomist (from Zeraph): I was going to update the first post with valuable info but I guess a Faq Only is less confusing, although I feel that some new people may feel there question has not been answered & post another topic asking again anyway?
-
Q: Will CB contain all the races?
A: No, not for a start.
Q: Will Klyros be there?
A: No, but it will probably be added in an update
-
#acraig notes#
#Venge notes#
Q: Free to play?
A: Yes.
Q: Will there be magic and fighting?
A: Yes. . #In a limited form. ie not the true vision we have for them#
Q: How often will CB be updated?
A: It will be updated very frequently through the updater program, not like the MB version where you currently have had to wait over a year for a new version. Should be at least one update per week, if not more. I would say we should have sub-weekly updates initially while we are hitting lots of bugs, but new feature releases will probably be more like every month or two once the bug patches slow down.
Q: How big is CB?
A: Very big compared to the previous versions. I think the download will be about 200MB.
Q: Is there still lag?
A: The NR (new renderer) has reduced the amount of graphical lag which people have been complaining about, a lot. But yes, it might run slow, but not as slow as before.#Really depends on hardware. We need to develop a better database of hardware vs performance.#
We have also added adaptive far plane clipping now, so the client seeks to keep FPS within a certain range you specify. It doesn\'t look ideal but for people with older hardware, it\'s probably way ahead of lag.:-)
Q: Will some people still need to wait 1+ hours to start the game?
A: Hopefully that should have been fixed. It was caused by some lightmapping that wasn\'t accepted by some computers, so it thought it had to remake it all #Plus there was some really bad memory management in windows that caused a really slow load time. Is better now.#

Sorry to interupt the FAQ, but this needs to be stickied. Delete this post if you deem necessary.
[Edit by Mogura: Thread stickied. :) Do not post on this thread unless you have a Q/A to add to the FAQ, or it will be deleted.]

Q: What races will be included in the initial CB release?
Originally posted by Main Site News 2004.08.25
This is the \"final\" list of the models that will be present in the first CB release, more will come later: ylian male, dermorian male, stonebreaker male, stonebreaker female, kran, ynnwn male, ynnwn female, enkidukai male, enkidukai female.
-
Q: Can I have multiple characters?
A: Yes, you can have up to 4 different characters in one account.
Q: What new areas will be included?
A: From what we can tell, Hydlaa will be expanded, there will be Ojaveda (home of the Enkidukai), and the Death Realm.
Q: How will I be able to change races when a new one is added in an update?
A: You will have to delete the character and recreate it, hoping no one gets it in the middle.
Q: Will my crystals be converted to tria (currency used in CB and beyond)?
A: Yes, but we are not 100% sure this will happen due to the recent cheating and player complaints. There is a migration script already prepared.
Q: Will there be a mac version?
A: Yes, dfryer has been working hard on this and it should be available when CB comes out, or shortly after.
-
sorry if this has already been answered...but will Weapons transfer over to the new version??
-
No they won\'t but you can go sell them at http://planeshift.fragnetics.com/merchant/merchantsell.html and retrieve your crystals which may or may not be transfered.
-
Q: Will the linkdead problem be fixed in CB?
A: Probably, the whole char creation has been remade. We haven\'t seen the message this far
Now on the connect screen, you will see a list of available servers and a ping-time shown next to each one. If the ping doesn\'t work then it says \"fail\". If you get this, you cannot connect, so the ambiguity where it looks like you are connecting and says \"linkdead\" but really you were never connected should be much more clear.
-
Q: Why have some races that you can use in MB be not available in CB?
A: The models in Molecular Blue are of a different format then the ones in CB.
The game engine (Crystal Space) Had a change in model types (From SPR to Cal3D) which there was no converter for, So the models had to be made from scratch.
Some (Most) were able to be recreated, While there were a few (Female Dermorians for example) were left out to save time on the next Tech-Release (Crystal Blue) But they also added some new models so that we could stay happy.
More models (Along with more features) will be added in future updates and releases.
-
Q: Will there be a character wipe?
A: Yes, all characters will be deleted. However, there will most likely be some sort of online form where you can reserve your character name and guild name.

This is only half accurate. The old models which were in use by MB (spr3d) are still available in Crystal Space. PS decided to go to the new sprcal3d models because they offer a lot more animation possibilities (with a lot less memory usage). Using the old models together with the new sprcal3d models is not a real option because the animation system is really based on the new system now.

Q: I would like to know if that means that the graphics will be better in CB. (not that the graphics dont already pwn any mmorpg :D)
A: The graphics wont necessarily be better, they will just have more opportunities with the models. - Gronomist

Also in the future the new renderer system that is in CS will allow us to improve graphics even more.

Q. Will I be able to build CB for an AMD64/Linux system?
-
A: As it looks now, no, not in pure 64 bit.
-
What custom character creation options be available?
Such as clothing, hair, skin tone, body size, facial features, etc.
-
Q : could Devs tell us what they have done (for example bug fixes) and what there is still to do before CB release by making a full list of developpement ?
-
Q : could Devs tell us what they have done (for example bug fixes) and what there is still to do before CB release by making a full list of developpement ?
Its called the CVS log ;)
CVS Link (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/planeshift/planeshift/docs/history.txt?view=auto)
That should at least answer half your question. :P
-
Q: Will we have different items of clothing in CB? (Other than those from Char-creation.)
-
ok but for the other question
Q: what is it still to do before the release? Do a list for the things they still have to do could be a good idea so people will stop to ask \"When does CB arrive?\"
-

There is no such list. Not even for us. We have an idea about what must be done but during testing we discover problems which causes that list to grow because we suddenly see the need to implement additional stuff to make things usable. This is the main reason why things are going slow now. Lots of unforeseen things we need to do.

Q : if someone tell you a story could the dev write it into the game. For example, a NPC could say that once upon a time... Is it possible ? and is it possible to create a scenario with these one ?
I\'m thinking about a story I\'ve written for PS and my character and in fact it could be a good scenario when I think about it : this is a Dead Dermorians\' kingdom which has been destructed by an orcs attack something like 15-20 years ago. This place is called Yannaeh and there are some dead-alive elfes (kind of Zombies). J.R. Tolkien speaks about elfes that could dye by sadness... that\'s what gives me this idea...the zombies are old Dermorians that cry for their lost one and turn into zombies and there could be not too hard to create the monsters... just takes the Dermorians and turn them into zombies - not dead but not alive. For the kingdom try to use some yliakum textures and add a jungle textures... the kingdom is inhabited since a long time and has been destroyed by the orcs dont forget... for the story i wrote, It\'s in french but i could try to translate this one... As devs wants...
PS: My character believes he is the only one that survives from the slain. He has been saved by a strange Orc... During the Slain he was between 0 and 5 years (He is 20 yet)... I know it could be a problem to write something in the game that remains a character that is already in the game. You can\'t take every background in PS.... but when I wrote this story I didn\'t thought it could be a good scenario and I hope it could helps you.
-
If a well-written story is compatible with PS, it is possible that somehow it could be included (or you could tell it yourself, acting as a bard).
A couple problems with your story - everyone in Yliakum would wonder what an \"orc\" is (I don\'t think they exist in this world). Dermorians, while \"elves\", are not the same kind of immortal creatures that live in Tolkien\'s world. Also, I\'m not sure how the undead factor into planeshift\'s world.
Posts on creating areas or creatures or historical events should probably be in the appropriate thread (use the \"search\" button or read the sticky threads) in the wish list.
-
Ok but I think there will be a creature like orc in the CB release or later...just need to change his name in my story and there are no zombies in Tolkien\'s World and less elfes that turn into zombies lol it comes from my imagination
To stay in the spirit of this threat :
Q : What about our names ? somebody speak about first and lastname for characters and some people say they will be erased when CB will come... is that true?
-
Is the game going to require broadband for \"comfortable\" playing or will the 56ker\'s and Broadband people both play at a certain speed that is suitable for both parties?
-

PS doesn\'t require much network bandwidth. It should work fine with 56k modem. Downloading PS for the first time will be another matter though :-)

All characters will be deleted, and you will have to recreate them. There has been some talking about reserving your old character name for your new characters, however noone really has confirmed this bit.
When creating, you\'ll be entitled to insert a first name (not a nickname) and a last name (not a nickname either). So you\'re not Shadowman Assassin, because that is not a name. That\'s stupidity. You\'re... John Smith, or whatever your imagination can come up with. The game will also have name generators, if you find you can\'t create a proper name for your character, or just to give you some inspiration as to what you could call yourself.
-
But when someone doesn\'t want a last name... or want something that represent not a name but a designation ? like Charles LeBon, Charle Magne, gronk PrinceOfPersia or daemia QueenOfAvalon ? It seems to be a problem for you...
and is there really a program that send MB account to CB account ? Because I\'ve see it and post my my nickname and password and even if it was on the sourceforge server I hope I dont do a dumb thing...
-
Will apostrophies (\') and dashes (-) be allowed in names?

you must choice a first and last name, QueenOfAvalon is not a name but a distinction. You can choice something like John Fken if you want but not Lord Fken, because Lord Fken is not a name but a distinction

No.
Q : In fact what kind of character are allowed ?
Are accents ( ^ `?\" ^ like ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? and so one) allowed ? Because some names need these accents and a lot of american programs forget them...
And I still need to know if the program that helps people to send MB characters to CB is a a real official one.

No. Firstly because just that, plenty of keyboards don\'t support them.
Secondly because you end up with persons who use all special characters in their names.

It will be on the website once CB is out. If you see something asking for your username and password, it is probably a scam (besides the merchant page).

Hmm .. I can\'t resist :D, and if I don\'t ask someone else probably will anyway, so:
Q: Will we be able to crouch?
A: ?
-
A: No

Awe! I have been looking forward to crouching ever since MB ... so its back to hiring a dwarv to crouch around the dark places for you :D

Q: Will there be a nickname ingame at all?
A: Not planned at the moment, no. Feel free to give your character a nickname though. It just wont show anywhere, and it\'s up to you to tell people who you are, as in \"Just call me Blinkyblop\", and so on. - Gronomist
Q: Will there be a underwater map to explore in CB?
A: In CB? No. In the future? Yes. When? Guess. - Gronomist

WHA?! Doesn\'t stuff I implement count? Maybe you should check facts before posting em.. just a \"friendly\" advice :P
It\'s right under Menu -> Skills -> Character Description
I never wrote that... Quit lying :P
- Gronomist
-
And with the last news, this seems to be a new deal so another times the same question :
Q: When does CB released for every users?
-
Q: When does CB released for every users?
Whenever the testing is done; so that would be... Soon. :)
-
Q: Will the quests completed/monsters fought by the alpha testers count towards anything when us mere mortals gain accesss to CB? The news page says MB database won\'t be affected, what about the CB database?
(granted, it\'s more than one question, more fun to answer I guess. Grono, I like that answer: \'Soon\')
-
@Adeli : yeah I like too
Q: how big is this game ? in Megabytes (I don\'t want any estimation from anybody who don\'t know... I\'m thinking about another post...)
Q: how big are the maps ? is there a way to be bored by the game in 2 or 3 monthes?
-
Answer to Adeli: Everything the testers do will be reset before the public release. We won\'t be keeping our characters, items, etc. Everything will be fair. :)
fken: Precise answers cannot be given at this time (NDA). But I can say:
A 1. Definitely larger than MB version.
A 2. BIG. :)
-
In fact I already install CB from cvs under linux mdk 10.0 and after the installation the game needed more than 1Gb. I don\'t know what the NDA deals with this information and I ask that to the dev not the one that can\'t answer...

It takes 1GB for a good reason... you probobly compiled it in debug version.
It will take muuuuch less space in the release version. Even with art and other stuff.
-
Q: are the testers playing on all new area\'s, or just around hydlaa. Because if they can go to all new locations then they know where to go when cb is \"stable\" and they will have a big advantage because the rest have to explore first while the testers already know all the places.
-

A: Yes, all maps are being tested. But even so, the maps are pretty large and will take a long time to explore them all.
-
Koron: i dont think the testers will have big advantages. Sure, they will know where everything is located... but then agin they all are GMs in MB. GMs must know eveveything! Its just like you would come to play a new game with some old players in it.
-
On top of that most of them are not the types that would screw everybody else just to get ahead. They\'ll share when they can. :)
-
Ya, this only means that they will get board with exploring a month or 2 before everyone else, & get annoyed when everyone says \"WoW!\" all @ once. :D
but still I envy them, it is a very busy time for Dev\'s I would think, two bad the bugs do not line up to be squashed... they sort of creep around & eat away time...
I seam to remember this funny quote from somewhere:
\"Hate the Bugs not the Game.\"
Edit:
Q: Is there going to be a realtime combat system in CB?
A: Yes - Gronomist
Q: If there is not, then is it planned in a later version?
A: --------
-
Adding to Zeraphs post, what is the combad system gona be like? I have read the website many times over the past years, but it doesnt realy help.
You target, you press attack, you watch your char beat the other thing to death. - Gronomist
With magic, it\'s a little diffrent. You target, you click \"Cast spell\", you wait, you click \"Cast spell\" again, you wait, etc. - Gronomist
-
Of course the combat will be real time! Can you imagine a mmorpg with turn based combat?
And im sure it will be in CB.
I think combat stuff is NDA, so no one can tell how its going to be.
But basicly it looks like any other mmorpg combat system.
-
Q: Will there be Macs in the forthcoming testing phases of CB (i.e. before general release)?
-
If I recall, dfryer and maybe others are working on a mac version that should be available at or right after the windows and linux release. If, in the unlikely event you are selected to test, you are using a mac, you will have to get a compiled version from (one of) the mac dev(s) or compile it yourself.

It shouldn\'t be, because isn\'t the combat system or for that matter any system @ the mechanical level part of the source code? & all CB source code is under GPL right? So I do not think that Combat System is art, but describing how character\'s combat Animations look is art under NDA.
so talking about the stuff that the code douse like \"if you press [A] then it plays Attack Animation & sends info to server then server calculates damage & repeats till you press or walk away...\" etc.
(this is just an example)
but if you said \"you press [A] then the dwarf swings his sword in a uppercut fashion repetitively until you run away sometimes limping from a wound.\" then that would be describing art.
I asked if it was turned based because that is sort of how the website describes it, however I think that info is so out of date there really is not much there. I would think it could be possible to have a turned based system in a mmorpg by using a system similar with the game \"Quest 64\" if you have heard of it. it was for the Nintendo 64 were there was a turn system were you move & then choose attack & stuff, it was sort of like a board game but anyway, I think real-time is much nicer & simple... :]
-
I don\'t think it\'d be real-time because if the game is playable with dialup I doubt there\'s real-time. Unless they figured out a way to make it playable with dialup.
Do you mean a real-time like everytime I press a button it attacks or like FF11 realtime with a set tempo to fight until you do something else?
-
Why does everyone keep saying Planeshift needs to be Dialup accessible? How many people can actually play planeshift with dial-up if they cannot download it with dial-up?
Hevrah downloaded and is playing CB fine with his 56k. No problem at all. Except for the occasional crashes that we\'re all experiencing. - Gronomist

Just the message has been removed. Fall damage is still there.
You will have to be careful in PS now :-)

no ....
-
I\'ll have to be more careful with the phrasing of my posts, lest I be quoted verbatim by devs and WTB\'s! When I mentioned the fall damage message, I only referenced it because it provided some extra information about the status of the character...not that I think the message itself is great.
It doesn\'t matter now, because the damage message has been removed.
-
How does the fall damage work, is it like -x(hp)/meter or -x(hp)/meter/meter ?
Uh, I would explain that better if it were earlier....
-
for the fall damage just look at the screenshots planeshift.it give on the main page... fall damage is activated off course
-
Fken, I think you will find that Waylander wanted to know the proper formulae used in working out appropriate fall damage, and that he is well aware that it is automatically activated, and that it shows it on the chat window. Though the message has been removed.
-
Since the rules themselfs are PS License I don\'t think I\'m allowed to post the exact forumla
But I think the CVS version has somewhat the same, ours is just a bit tweaked
-
Although i feel this quiestion has already been asked I dont remeber readin it in the posts,
Maybe instead of asking about lag and what not we make a form and we have perhaps testers an people tell us computer information such as RAM and what kind.
cause for me I have a 256MB of RAM on my computer and my game lags at certian things and will somtimes stop completly at some points althoughts it is not that bad it gets rather old.
Question=
Do you think I will lag less on the game because I love PS and I know its free but for me its technically not because I have to buy RAM to make it work better for me which is a good 60 bucks for a 256MB stick :( do you think i will lag the same in the new PS or will it lag less *crosses fingers*.
Im not directing anyone but maybe we can move this post around to a different place and put all computer capabilities under this post? something like this for CB although it may not help alot of us it could be useful to newbs and what not.
256Mb of ??? sd-ram/ on the verge of verry laggy.
1.79 GHz i put this here cause i need to know what RAM I should buy.

Fall damage is defined in secret (not at cvs) rule scripts on server, but it is obvious that the damage formula is nonlinear i.e. falling from 20m is worse that falling 2x from 10m.
-
I am afraid 512 MB (I have that) will be needed to have acceptable performance, although I know about testers that have 256. But memory usage has been greatly improved in the last few days so we will see.

Is just the height important (now) or does your weight or race have any impact on the outcome of the formula? If it\'s not NDAtic, oc.
-
...and i also remember a proposal that the material you land on would also be an importaint factor ...falling onto a cushion or onto a bush is a lot more pleasant then on pointy rocks
but i guess that\'s too much to hope for in CB
-
What i am actually wondering are we going to be able to setup are own shortcuts like in a configuration file?
I\'d like the ability to define what keys / mouse-buttons are used for different controls & also maybe the chat commands etc....
-
Yes. You even have a shortcut window.
-
I just didn\'t quite get this:
1. Will be there a Crystal transfer program (from MB to CB)?
Because if there isn\'t one, what the hell are we doing in MB by picking up xtals? Just training? I\'ve been working to get the xtals and I would be disapointed if my work was in vain...
And this way the CB testers will have an advantage on the on the new CB players.
And if there isn\'t one, well... back to the Xtal hunting in CB :(
2. Will the Official Guilds be provided with a home in CB? If they will be by who will build them? (the players have to build them i.e. write scripts and build models and textures for the home, or by the Devs)?
3. How is the combat work?
I read in here that was \"You target, you press attack, you watch your char beat the other thing to death.\", \'coz I thought fighting will be like in FPS, like clicking in the mouse botton to attack or pressing in a key to attack, \'coz target a person/monster and then click a key to watch the char attacking... er... I would like to participate in the action if you know what I mean... for example the game Oni (if you know it) well it\'s an Anime type game, where we fight and use weapons, it\'s passed in the future... er... forget the future for a moment... well there when we fight with the hands we click the mouse bottons to make her attack.
Targeting (right click the person/monster) and then watch the char attacking... er... sorry but that\'s just stupid
I would like to attack things like a barril or a NPC or even a chair! things that are part of the cenary even if it doesn\'t effect nothing! Just to get anger off or something... I think you know what I mean with all this
Hope I\'m not bothering with this questions, but answer them... please!!!

Short Version: ppl cheated making it unfair for other ppl if they get to keep the money they got from it. no crystals in CB, CB testers will not have an advantage due to server wipe...
Long Version:
well, there aren\'t going to be crystals as money in CB however, if there is going to be able to keep your Crystals from MB then it\'s going to be converted to the new money system (tria.) they have been thinking of not transferring crystals because a while ago a particulate person cheated in a way that he could login as anyone & logged in as a Dev & spawned weapons & Crystals & became very very rich, there is measures to prevent this sort of logging in in CB however the person may have created other accounts & will transfer his crystals obtained by cheating & others have been exploiting bugs & mods to get crystals giving them an unfair advantage over the hard work of others. however imo, we should transfer crystals to CB because lots of ppl spent hours upon hours collecting them & it would be a shame to take all the hard work away....
-
ah thanks, but in CB I know taht the xtals aren\'t going to be used as money, but I read that xtals can be sold for trias.
As for the others answer them please!!!!
-
1) It is still unsure if Crystals will be converted (since there were some cases of massive cheating). A conversion is probably not needed (it will be fun to aquire the money you would get outerwise).
2) Not in the initial Release of CB (will probably be added later - dont ask for a time though)
3) Attack as it looks will be \"Click and Watch\" at least for a start (could be that this changes too in future - we dont know anyways and its far to early for the devs to be able to tell i think).
Please read the newspage and do some searches on the forum before you post such questions (because most of them have been answered AT LEAST once - if you dont find an answer then post your question). Thank you in advance.
-
Has there ever been a serieus answer to the guild-house thingie?
or in other, will all guilds get some kind of office? And plz adjusted to there guild, rangers somewhere near the wood, evil guilds on the other side of town then good guilds :)
And over crystals, I hope they will not convert them. I dont have alot of em :P
-
Maybe I missed this but I did a search and didn\'t see anything regarding parties. Will all combat and training be player vs. monster with no parties, will there be the option of levelling in a party? I realize it isn\'t really \"levelling\" but still, grouping together to kill monsters to train skills etc.
-
Yes there is a capability to \"group\" characters and share experience... also there is a \"training\" system between two players, I see oft mentioned but don\'t know much about it.
-
8) Well, what I meant is if you get a special sword my Char wouldn\'t use it because he will be focusing on ranged weapons & magic...
:] But anyway, time for some more questions:
1. Q: Will we be able to fly via spell or flying-animal in CB? (now, update, or later version of PS?)
2. Q: Will there be Ranged Weapons or Animal-Training in CB? (now, update, or later version of PS?)
-
Another question and forgive me if I missed it:
How will hate work? I\'ve come from FFXI so I\'m used to party play with monsters exacting a certain preference over combatants. Will the monster lock on one character and continue attacking until either are dead regardless of another ranged character doing more damage or healing character healing alot? Will there be skills to keep \"hate\" or the monsters attention?

Some monsters will be more aggressive towards magic users, and some might be very aggressive towards dwarves while they don\'t care about the Dermorians, and such. But to begin with, it\'s all about who is the biggest threat to the monster, as in who deals most damage, and who is closest to the moster, and so on. For example, why would the monster run after an archer, when there\'s a juicy, fat warrior just next to it? :)
Then again, if the archer is annoying enough, he\'ll be turned into mashed potatoes.
On a diffrent note, this thread is for questions and answers. If you don\'t have a question, don\'t post. If you don\'t know if you have the right answer, don\'t post.
-
Q: What will happen if I get disconnected from server?
-
Your character will keep fighting / standing still / doing whatever it was doing, for 30 seconds and then log off.
-
Q: Will we be able to answer these questions if we participate in the CB beta or is that stuff Classified?
-
We already know that some people are allowed to play CB for testings but who will be allowed to play CB next time ?
How many group of CB player will be created like that ?
And finally why are the dev proceding like that ? If this problem is that there could be too many bug reports : just allow somebody to do report but if the problem is that you think there could be too many problems because of the number of player connected, just say that to us, please...
-
Will I have a chance to reconnect without restarting the game?
-
Q: Will we be able to answer these questions if we participate in the CB beta or is that stuff Classified?
Art, rules, and everything else included in the PS License is under the NDA, and noone who is testing CB can tell about that stuff. That even goes for what you can say to an NPC.
As for all the things you can find in the CVS... Well, go ahead and ask.
who will be allowed to play CB next time ?
The ones who get selected for phase two.
How many group of CB player will be created like that ?
Phase two should be the last test before it\'s released.
And finally why are the dev proceding like that ?
There\'s no point in releasing a bugged game to 10000 people and receiving 5000 spam reports saying the server is down every time they log in, and another 5000 spam reports saying they can\'t log in but don\'t know why. Then there\'ll be 8000 more reports saying character creation doesn\'t work, and 6000 asking why they can\'t log in. After that, 2000 new posts will be telling this game is stupid, and the last 4000 will be asking when the problem is fixed.
There are lots of stupid people out there, that\'s why they don\'t get to test right away. :)
Will I have a chance to reconnect without restarting the game?
Currently, no. Maybe in the future, but not as it is right now.

Q: How will the entire PS world be setup? Will every poly and texture be loaded into memory, or will the world be broken into segments and walking into a certain area will transport you to the proper area. (like walking from hyrule field into kokiri forest in Zelda64) I think loading everything at once will cause problems. think if you topped a hill and had a mile of landscape and forests and cities come into view. fps would drop to 0 quickly.

Q: Will there be a guild standings page for wealth/weapons/number of members on the Planeshift Server site like there is for MB?

A: The world is broken up into sectors, with loading screens in between. The reason for this is that the devs would rather have one \'long\' loading time for each piece of the world, as opposed to lots of little loading bits which would cause the game to lag and be unresponsive.
-
Q: Will CB be the Alpha test or will the Devs skip alpha and call it Beta? I\'ve heard people saying both...
-
Q: Will CB be the Alpha test or will the Devs skip alpha and call it Beta? I\'ve heard people saying both...
It\'s v0.3x/Crystal Blue ... alpha is supposed to be a generally feature complete product that is largely untested, whereas beta is a generally complete product that has not been thoroughly tested. Though CB is a huge leap, I don\'t think it necessarily qualifies for either... that\'s why we have the nifty release names =].
Also....

Farplace clipping/distance culling/not-rendering-stuff-that-is-far-away is implemented now as well. There is both a static distance setting and a somewhat working adaptive mode that changes the draw distance as needed. Just need to add some dynamic fog at the cull point so it don\'t look so funny =P.

In another thread (house building idea) I\'ve been reading some stuff, and I would like to know if they are possible:
Can we build a house anywhere? (cause this way villages could by made by players too)
Are we going to be able to build anything at all?
-
Devs say yes, but not for quite a while.
-
Q1) There will be a decent updater? Easy to use with a good interface?
A1) It has 3 buttons. One called Update, one called Launch PlaneShift and one called Exit. - Gronomist
Q2) How often will there be updates? Aften? Once in 2 years? (I do hope every 2 weeks)
A2) Whenever new updates are ready. Can be daily, can be weekly. But for now, there wont be any 2 year waits. - Gronomist
Q3) Will the video options be in the main program?
A3) The video and audio options are currently in a seperate program. - Gronomist
Q4) Audio options? Controller options? Other options?
A4) You can set your controller options ingame as well as most of the other settings that are available, but most video and advanced sound options are in a seperate setup program. - Gronomist
Q5) Minimum system req? Recommended Sys Req? Hardware for the very best performance?
A5) There is no minimum. It\'s very diffrent how it runs of diffrent machines, but an average computer should easily be able to run it. I get ~30-60 FPS with my P4 1.6GHz 512Ram computer, and that\'s even though CB is running in debug mode. - Gronomist
Q6) What will the next big update (release) be called?
A6) Still unknown, but the unofficial name is Sapphire Blue. That\'s not decided right now, anyway. - Gronomist
Q7) How much more enchanced is the AI (%)?
A7) We\'re still to test the NPCs, but as for what I know, it\'s much easier to add keywords to the NPCs dialogues, which will make them smarter.
-
these are just my answers, note I\'m not a dev!

Why exactly does a decent updater need a interface?

I think this was already said (2 weeks, I think it was)
-
Q) anything sure about guildhouses? Like, will each \"important\"guild have an office or something, or is that for later when we can build our own homes?
-
So far we\'ve been told (correct me if I\'m wrong) that last names will have to be unique and can be changed only by GMs for \'wedding\' purposes. What about siblings/family members?
-
Well, afaIk, only the first name counts for charname uniquness, so only one Lynx. The lastname has just an estetic effect. But I don\'t know if it has to be unique.
-
guild house is a bigger priority then player house but wont reach CB in its release if i remember correct.
-
Q) anything sure about guildhouses? Like, will each \"important\"guild have an office or something, or is that for later when we can build our own homes?
Eventually, you will be able to build a place for your guild, if your guild has the resources for it (renting a place is much cheaper than building a whole new house).
So far we\'ve been told (correct me if I\'m wrong) that last names will have to be unique and can be changed only by GMs for \'wedding\' purposes. What about siblings/family members?
First and last name has to be unique. If you wish to play as if you\'re related to someone, ask a lvl 4 GM to change your last name to the same thing. This is to prevent people from saying they\'re related to some famous person or whatever you might use the names for. :)

/me refuses to talk to those Elfs ;-)
Just kidding....
But Personally I can Ask. (I\'m dumb enhough to ask 10.000 players, if they are a GM. I think /Shout is a verry good feature to use :D )
*listen to the sound of sarcasm......
Well......Back to Business....
At the moment, you can\'t C who is, and who isn\'t. I think that can be usefull, since GM\'s can \"read Guild chat\", \"warp to players\", \"Kick nerving ppl\" and so on. If you can C there is a GM online then ppl behave better, cause they know they can be banned. From the other side: catching cheaters will also be more difficult, cause they C a GM is there, and will wait till that person goes away.
Edit: Originally, somebody posted before this message, that I had to ask if there was a dev online. Since he re-thought about that stupid Idea after reading this post, he deleted it. (info for who didn\'t had the time to read it).
-
GM\'s names are in red. So you know who they are :)
-
Q : how to become a GM ?
You become a GM by helping people, not by asking. If anyone even dares to ask, believing they\'ll get it, I swear I will slay that person in every possible way, and I\'ll be back once more ways of slaying are released.
Q : how many GM level there are ?
There are 9 levels. 1 = Semi-moderator, 9 = God.
-
With CB\'s release, will there be at least one GM of each level?
As GworthoX asked, is a GM\'s level visible?
Edit: Okay, thanks Grono.
-
With CB\'s release, will there be at least one GM of each level?
No,
As GworthoX asked, is a GM\'s level visible?
and no.
If you need something done from a GM with a higher level, you petition your request, and when someone is available, they will get to you.

Q) Will there any form of \"Acount wipe\" after a specific time of inactivity?
-
Q) Are they any skills yet like crafting? I heard there was crafting I\'m not sure if that was just a rumor or not.
-
In a wishlist thread, Acraig said that there was a simple crafting method implemented, and that they were testing it with bread. I can\'t recall the thread.
-
Q1) Can you kill anyone anywhere anyhow?
A1) No. - Gronomist
Q2) Will you be able to Pickpoket?
A2) Maybe. If yes, then only NPCs and only players in PVP areas (arena and such). - Gronomist
Q3) Do players drop their belonging when killed?
A3) Not right now, no. - Gronomist
Q4) How many ways can you get maney?

Baking is used in the CVS, where a chest does a great job of being an oven. That\'s all I can tell you. However, when CB is ready to be released, I\'m sure there will be some kind of crafting. I can\'t tell you what, though. NDA stuff. :)
Q) Will there any form of \"Acount wipe\" after a specific time of inactivity?
Hasn\'t really been decided at this point, so currently there won\'t be any deletion of inactive accounts, but when it happens, we\'ll make sure people get informed... If they\'re still around, that is.

SOME QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS,
What are the restrictions on killing players? Really I hate if there will be like only special areas where you can not fight exept for the Newb Place.
Restrictions on pick poketing, is this a joke?! Well, I do hope it is, cuz it is plain absurd to not be able to pick poket everywhere, exept the Newb Place.
Also, I have noticed that in the forest path, the trees are just drawn on, how come?
Ps,
Will the Shop NPCs be in the pubic realease of CB?
Will Dead Players Drop items in the public realease of CB? It is not that hard to code, right?
-

Not every character will be oriented towards battle. This makes it entirely unfair to someone RPing as a merchant. If you need a game where you run around slaughtering people, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Restrictions on pick poketing, is this a joke?! Well, I do hope it is, cuz it is plain absurd to not be able to pick poket everywhere, exept the Newb Place.
Uhh, maybe because everybody and their dog would be a thief and not work for any items/money lest it be stolen? Some people would like to RP and quest without looking behind their backs to see if someone is trying to pick pocket their latest asset.
-

*Sigh* .. There is really something you have misunderstood about PS. This game is NOT a PvP game. If you think you can convince anyone that it is a bad idea, go ahead and try but you\'re wasting your time.
Restrictions on pick poketing, is this a joke?! Well, I do hope it is, cuz it is plain absurd to not be able to pick poket everywhere, exept the Newb Place.
What is it with you and \"Newb place = PK\"? Nowhere except the Arena has PvP abilities, unless you chose to accept a duel. Try and understand that.
Also, I have noticed that in the forest path, the trees are just drawn on, how come?
Because the forest path is simply a place that connects hydlaa with other places, thus why it\'s called a forest road. Not a forest-please-explore-me-and-travel-around-in-me.
Ps,
Will the Shop NPCs be in the pubic realease of CB?
Will Dead Players Drop items in the public realease of CB? It is not that hard to code, right?
Yes, there are shop NPCs, and no at this point people will not drop items. Now stop asking the same questions over and over.
-

There can be other PvP zones. And when your and your opponent\'s guilds are in a war, you can fight freely.

A guild war works pretty much the same way as a duel, except it includes more people rather than only one individual. And there -can- be PvP zones, but let\'s get those implemented before telling people where they are. :)
-
But they were already implemented. Arena will be simply a PvP zone too.
*** 2004-03-05 by Keith Fulton
- Added free PVP zones for arenas and quests.
Pff, details... - Grono

Q1.What exactely will be the trias? I ve heard something like octo, sexto, etc. But dont know them for sure.
Q2.In MB the rain starts from nothing... that is a little non-realistic. does in CB the sky will be gray before rainining?
and it is strong when its starts in MB. will in CB the rain start small than growing... And It will be in just some places or in the whole world at the same time?
Q3.Is there going to be horses? if not in CB in some other releases? I never found any MMORPGs with horses... It would be a good Idea. like Ive shown in a thread called \"Horses!!!\"
who wont look for them in the forums Its here:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It would be cool if there were horses!
I never saw any rpg with horses that I remenber that move with the player. I looked many MMORPGs looking for horses but find nothing.
When u buy a horse u could give him or her a name. But u cant control the horse as another char. (i.g. when u get to a tavern u would let the horse in a stable otherwise the horse could run(that just would happen if u dont treat him well))
There would be relacionship points for horses. If ure relation isn good with ure horse u could do something to let him or her happy.
I think every one would injoy it with the horses idea.
Expecially me!! :) (Not that I am a fanatic for horses It just would be a good Idea for an RPG)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Q4.Will be the items cheaper? Their price are utrajeous! I look all day and now I just have 112R 5E 1D!!
They didnt need to be very very more cheaper just 40% - 50% or less. That is a question that I have it in my head sims I started(rthat would be 1 week ago)
Q5.How can some one became a GM? I see that some one awnsered before in this thread but I didnt understand... can someone explain it to me?
Q6.How can I be one of the testers at CB Beta? In alpha it was posted a message I heard that the firs 25 people that replied became a tester.Would it be the same for Beta Testers?
Q7. Will be CB lauched before Beta tests?
(sorry for my bad english: I am brazilian and just 12 years old... not kidding!)
Please answer my questions!!!
-
I can only answer three of these...
5. Don\'t ask this, it\'s a sure way not to become one, they have to be trusted by the devs.
6. There is no such thing as a CB beta, therefore you can\'t test one, CB is an Alpha test for PlaneShift, It\'s just the name of this test, so the Beta will have another name.
7. The answer to this is yes. Follow Greek alphabet, Alpha then Beta... CB is Alpha... understand?
-
To get picky, CB isn\'t really an alpha of Planeshift, it\'s a \"Demo\" of planeshift. Currently in testing is the \"Alpha\" of CB (i.e. still having features integrated, still buggy). When we release it to the general public, it will probably not have an official \"beta\" stage but will probably be frequently updated near the beginning.
Mr. GworthoX:
The planeshift \"npcclient\" is able to provide basic AI/wandering for NPCs/monsters. Currently, I don\'t think there is body armor but there may be items that you can equip for defense.

Official Currencies:
Tria = 1 Tria (money), Hexa = 10 Tria, Octa = 50 Tria, Circle = 250 Tria.
Unofficial Currencies:
Silver coin = 500 Tria, Platinum Coin = 1,000 Tria.
Q2.In MB the rain starts from nothing... that is a little non-realistic. does in CB the sky will be gray before rainining?
and it is strong when its starts in MB. will in CB the rain start small than growing... And It will be in just some places or in the whole world at the same time?
It doesn\'t work like that right now, but only one step at a time. Everything else is more important than making clouds.
Q3.Is there going to be horses? if not in CB in some other releases? I never found any MMORPGs with horses... It would be a good Idea. like Ive shown in a thread called \"Horses!!!\"
who wont look for them in the forums Its here:
Not in CB. And it will most likely not be horses, it will more likely be lizards of some kind. So far, only the two flying animals are decided for sure, but it\'ll be a while before they are ready to be used ingame.
Q4.Will be the items cheaper? Their price are utrajeous! I look all day and now I just have 112R 5E 1D!!
They didnt need to be very very more cheaper just 40% - 50% or less. That is a question that I have it in my head sims I started(rthat would be 1 week ago)
Most likely not. If items are too cheap, it\'s too easy to get them, and they are worth nothing, resulting in everyone having the best items. You will definitely have to work to get stuff in PS.
Q5.How can some one became a GM? I see that some one awnsered before in this thread but I didnt understand... can someone explain it to me?
Help the team by answering people\'s questions and don\'t ask. If they need you, they will talk to you. Not the other way around.
Q6.How can I be one of the testers at CB Beta? In alpha it was posted a message I heard that the firs 25 people that replied became a tester.Would it be the same for Beta Testers?
There was two threads that let people sign up for test2, and as far as what I know, there wont be any more tests before CB is released. There will be more closed testing in the future, but it\'s very unlikely that it will be the same people there, as it\'s difficult to keep track of who no longer plays and such.
-
About the lizards,
they are cool too and if the devs want any horse I am making a model its in the Fan Art named \"(3D) Horse\"
And the items being cheaper I think they dont need being cheaper because there are more kinds of trias than crystals...
And some questions:
1.Where di u find trias?
2.In the ground or killing monsters?
3.If is killing monsters what a person that hasent got weapons fight with do?
4.Can u fight with ure hands?
-
It risk to make a come back to an old question but...
Q : As there are 9 lvl of GM what are the difference between each of them ?
Q : is it possible to differenciate everybody thanks to their armour (or maybe thanks to another clothes)
--------------------------------
Personaly I think that if CB release in November it will be on November 31th ;-)
--------------------------------
-
Q : As there are 9 lvl of GM what are the difference between each of them ?
Each lvl of GM has certain powers.
1= newbie Gm who can\'t do much
9= God who can do just about anything
Q : is it possible to differenciate everybody thanks to their armour (or maybe thanks to another clothes)
Not in CB. Possibly in 10 years :)
-
Ok, I have read the whole thred now, cus I realy suffer with u, and dont want to repeat another (stupid) question.
In a MMORPG that I play, ther is a \"con\" system (consider)
with wich you can estimate how hard a mob or other oponent will be to beat in battle. However that con-system only goes on the level diff.
A more realistic con system would be a calculation, of AC, HP, Resistence, and so one wich would give a \"hardyness level\" that the con-system will show the diff on.
So to the actual question.
Q1: Will CB have a con system, about how will it work. (alt. will it come later?)?
Q2: I consider a advanced factionsystem to be of most importance to give a high RP-feeling. Will you make much effort in this area?
Q3: And last, a fast simple question. Will ther be more defined classes than Magic and Melee?
-
Originally posted by Lejon

No, but IMO you should like cast spells or use something like an identifying skill for the monster which would give you a hint of the HP and stuff. Not some \"Hard to beat\", that\'s up to your own foolyness

PS is almost level-less and class-less. If you want to be a ranger who casts magic arrows, fine with me. But in CB there will only be Magic and Melee but you are free to cross it how you wish

Q2 can there be heroes (eg people who are like Super Human, a great leader, etc.)
You can play whatever type of character you want. If you wish to be evil be evil. If you wish to try and be a great leader then make it so.
-
Since we target to evolve to our fans needs if it doesn\'t confict with our targets, quests for bad guys is most likely to be ingame as well as for Good guys.

how big will the monsters be are there any that will be gigantic and require a group of ppl to defeat, and will there ever be an event where a huge monster attacks hydalaa and all the players will have to band together to stop it, that would be kewl

Monster sizes could be anything the devs decide fits into the game. I\'m sure there will be plenty of monsters that will require teamwork to overcome.
And there will definatly be events of some kind, although CB won\'t have anywhere near as many as a later release. The kind of \'invasion\' events like that would probably be based on an attack from the Stone Labyrinths or something like it, rather than city seiges, although that\'s entirly possible.
I\'m sure guild wars will keep everyone entertained for the mean time though :) There will be plenty.
-
how exactly will giuild wars work, i though the only pvp was in arenas.
-
Guild 1 challenges Guild 2. Guild 2 accepts, and they kill eachother until one gives up. :)
-
Clarification: Kill each other anywhere right? Inside of towns, out in the open, anywhere.
-
Yes
-
Excellent :P Clarification again..do the numbers between the opponents have to be equal or can it be like 1 vs 5, 4 vs 5, 10 vs 2...kinda thing? Also will we be...nevermind I think that question is alittle out there...I will save it for later :P Seeing the words Guild Wars and not being about that game \"Guild Wars\" gets me all excited.

A guild is a guild, no matter if it has 5 members or 100 members. It\'s up to the challenged guild to accept a fight, so if it\'s unfair... then don\'t accept. :)
-
I just wanted to know the terms of battle in numbers, thinking I have a problem with unfair fights? No..no lol I would rather fight against the odds then a fair fight so thanks for that tid bit of information you have made my day Grono :P

Ok didn\'t see this so: Will there be more options for custimization of our characters apearance in crystal blue?
P.S. Gronomist you kick butt

Q1: How many clients can one sever support? I mean the max client number as the server side design. (Common hardware such as P4 2G,512MB...)
Q2: How many maps can one sever load at the same time? map = sector? What\'s the max size of one map?
Q3: Because clients can build their own objects,such as house,models...,can clients build maps online?
a lot of question, :)
BTW: where can I download the documents of Planeshift\'s design,development, and test?

We don\'t have exact numbers at the moment but I estimate we should be able to easily handle a few hundred users at the same time. Maybe more.
Q2: How many maps can one sever load at the same time? map = sector? What\'s the max size of one map?
The server loads all maps but in a more condensed form (no textures/lightmaps/...)
Q3: Because clients can build their own objects,such as house,models...,can clients build maps online?
Where did you hear that? It is currently not possible to have clients build your own objects. This will not be possible in CB. *Perhaps* this will be possible in a future release but not at the moment.
BTW: where can I download the documents of Planeshift\'s design,development, and test?
Testing is closed. You\'ll have to wait until it is released. As to design documents and things like that, these are also closed and only for developers.
Greetings,

Oh, I learned that from a post in this forum.It said that a guild can build its own house depends on the available resource. That is so cool. I like it very much.Hope it will come true in a near future release. :)

\"Building our own guild house\" actually means building it, as in modelling it in 3ds max or another program :)

Q: Will their be wedding mounds on where people can get married at?

A1: To begin with, it\'ll be hosted on the same server as MB is now, but if it takes too much traffic, they will move it to a more powerful, independant server.
A2: It\'s gone.

Mmmmmm--no. All that is being worked on is bugs, more bugs and simply putting everything into the game and make them run together. And it\'ll be running until the main site news says something diffrent.

Not in the initial release. Some day, they might be done, but for now, people will just have to do without them.

With the script that has been mentioned at least a dozen times, in various threads all over the forum. It will be uploaded as soon as the new server is ready, and not a minute earlier.
-
Grono, is there any word on the status of whether the crystals will be transferred? Have the devs decided whether to go through with it or not, because I noticed what looked like a crystal to tria/hexa/octa conversion thingie in the migration script.
Also, if they have actually decided to transfer crystals, have they ironed out a ratio yet?

Mmmmmm--no. All that is being worked on is bugs, more bugs and simply putting everything into the game and make them run together. And it\'ll be running until the main site news says something diffrent.
The problem is that from my point of view (observer, gamer :)) Every day in last month I was looking at all posts on this forum just for any piece of information about ongoing progress. I feel that I lost my time because it could be better organized.
Players are absolutely ok that you need to fix many bugs, and most of us (probably the older part ;)) can wait. But we\'d like to know what\'s going on. For example when one of developers writes \"we\'re not ready with CB\" i\'d like him to write \"because we still have some bugs. It should take us one week. stay tuned\" and i will stay tuned :)
Or when developer writes \"we need one week\" it would be great if he could write one week later \"ok, we need one more week because ...\" - otherwise after second week from his post i\'m starting to be curious why it\'s not yet there. But still no info. Finally somebody asks \"is phase 2 over?\" and anwser is \"no\" - and still we don\'t know why.
Yes, i can imagine it\'s all about bugs, but such lack of information and such lack of organized informations (for example news site is completly useless since nobody can get \"real news\" from there) when all news are spreaded around forums in some posts where somebody from crew anwsers for somebodys question makes the situation very tiring.
Very often there was a post with \"in a week there will be more screenshots\" - it was month ago. Where are screenshots?\" \"we found 50 bugs more, it will take us a week to take them down\" - and it was written 3 weeks ago. No update of this info avaible. Don\'t get me wrong. I do appreciate Your work a lot! I\'m only asking for some status updates like \"there is 30 more bugs, we belive it\'ll take us 4 days\" or \"sorry, we\'re still too buggy to release. we\'re finding more than 5 bugs per day so we will not release this version until this number drops down\" - such informations are very important for people who waits.

Do you have any idea how many posts that will have simply said \"We need one more week\", if they had started doing that since December, 2003 where CB was initially scheduled for? That\'s quite a lot of weeks. :)
As long as the team doesn\'t work a set hours every day, it wont be possible to set a deadline for anything. One day, people might work for 8 hours straight and get a whole lot done, and the next day, they might not get anything done at all. It differs so much, and people get sick of excuses all the time, so it\'s better just to let them wait.
Anyway, more bugs. One more week and then we\'ll see how the world is looking, but a word of advice... Never trust a PS dev when it comes to a deadline for anything. :)
-
Q1 : how many dev is there ? 20+ something. - Grono
Q2 : how many moderators ? One part-forum mod, and two full-forum mods. Paxx, Talad, Vengeance and acraig are devs, so they count more as devs than as mods. - Grono
@Gronomist : not a question in fact but see my post in http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=11211&boardid=13&sid=a6838c6608cca5cd7ecbb0b4b7126e8b&page=2
I think we are thinking the same Gronomist but my question is still alive : why is there a post like 31/10 if it\'s useless ? We do know they are in progress but I can\'t understand why there are some sentences like this following :
\"Please be aware that a new version (0.3)will be ready very soon. If you have a slow connection we suggest you to avoid downloading the current 0.2 version and wait for the next one.\" if cb comes next year...
I\'ll give you a list of options to chose from if you ever get bored;
1) Very Soon
2) Soon
3) When it\'s done
4) In a long time
5) Noone knows
6) The same day as the moon falls down
Pick the one you like the most, and stick with it. It\'s as close an answer that anyone will ever get, simply because there is no release date, there can not be a release date and there never will be a release date. Not as long as it\'s a sparetime project.
P.S. The options are sorted by time to release, just in case you didn\'t notice. :) - Grono
EDIT : Im not sure but.... mmmhhhh... maybe the day when sun will have a rendez-vous with the moon (after if moon want to fall down, I prefer that it\'s because it\'s in love...) so answer 6 my dear grono ;-)
thanks for your answer

I think combat stuff is NDA, so no one can tell how its going to be.
But basicly it looks like any other mmorpg combat system.
There are already turn based combat mmorpgs.
Ever here of the Realm. Each party takes its turn in which it does actions it wants to do.

ello All,
Q: What type Of 3D sound effects will we hear in the game, Mono, Stereo, Surround, 5.1?
-
A: Stereo
-
will there be any way to enhance wepons and armom like add ing enchantments or studs to leather type thing?
Also will there be any new music?
and cold you guys post some new content on the fron page? somthing like a current standing on how many bugs have been splatted or just some more comments on how things are going because I think we\'d realy like to know even if it is a setback.

They can, but it most likely won\'t happen.
-
ok thought of another-
will we be able to use a wepon in each hand in the CB or is that still to come?
-

That\'s already possible.
-
In the future versions of planeshift will there be cities where you could do anything and engage in combat anywhere? Will there be a lot of giant areas where people can do anything and engage in combat anyhow? So people would not complain about the lack of areas where you could kill for pleasure....
Areas with monsters will have support for Player vs Player combat, right?
You can gang up *more then one* to 1 in the PVP areas, or no?
Updates: Will patch up bugs only? or and upgrade parts of the game? and add more stuff?
-
If there will be the char transfer, with all the xtails. The cheaters who have cheated in MB will have an advantage!
Q: They really will get that advantage?

Originally posted by Taruk

It was said elsewhere that devs are doing a list with the name of all the cheaters... I think it will be a strange and massive lost of xtals for someone...
If there is a such list there is no worry to have...
-
The devs can\'t know everyone who cheated in MB... the only way to catch them all, if they want to catch them all, would be to not allow crystal tranfers at all. Every decent player should be ready to accept such a decision, if it was made, and recognise the need to punish those who try to ruin the game for the rest of us.
Q: \"Will patch up bugs only? or and upgrade parts of the game? and add more stuff?\"
A: Once CB is released, the updates will come regularly and include both bug fixes and new content, areas, quests, etc.
-
Hum... I dont know the english expression but... we could ask people to tell us who we can trust. For example :
Luca : he knows and knows they arent cheaters
- Acraig
- moogie
- androgos
- djagg
- gronomist
- and so one
then Acraig knows :
then moogie knows :
and so one...
When people find another one fund too many xtals he can tell us...
But I recognize it could destroy fun in the game... this is a simple proposition...
You can see if somebody has a suspicious income... (but I dont think it works... last summer when I connect just 2 or 4 min to pick up xtals from lost room and then disconnect... lol between 5 and 10 crystals in less than one minute sometimes - but not often... so I dont think its a good solution : I dont want to be considered like a cheater... and moreover a cheater with almost 1000 r isnt a good cheater...)
So I cant find a good way to find who are the cheater but : when I camp in the lost room it wasnt for nothing... it was veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrryy boring believe in me so I dont want it to be useless...
I just hope the cheater wont be able to continue to cheat on cb...
-
ok... finaly went throught all the questions, and didn\'t find this
Q: will loot be idiotic and unlogical in CB, like a dragon dropping a chainmail, a dog a sword or a rat a hammer? (i know those creatures won\'t be in planeshift, those are just examples)
-
A: Fortunately not. During testing, creatures have been dropping gold falchions and other weird stuff. But this was just to test the looting and merchant systems. When CB goes public, only things that make sense will be dropped. :)
[Edit by Gronomist]
Also, Talad, The Director of PlaneShift Inc., A/S, etc., is very much against unrealistic drops and such things. Drops will also be regulated, so if something which is worthless drops too often, the drop rate will be decreased so the server doesn\'t get flooded with unnecessary items. And so on. :)
-
hey a dragon who drop a chainmail isn\'t silly : Dont forget the creature cant eat too so : a big creature can eat a full knight so the chainmail could be dropped by a big creature !
but
Q : When I look at the screenshots I dont think the character can wear armour ... is it true ?
and if thats true when will we be able to wear one ?
-
Q1)In one of the new screenshots of CB there is something that looks like blood.... in the healing spell screenshot... is that blood particles? Or or what is it?
A1)
Q2) Also, I am waaaay too lazy to keep up with the news and stuff... can you fight a monster in a group? Or another player in a group?
A2)
Q3)When you mine, do you actually see the rock break away and like a hole made? Like in Red Faction? Or do you just mine the wall and see gold come out of it? Err...
A3)
-
Even though its useless news to me all new is good right?
-
Alright, I\'m sorry if this has been asked before but...
There will be character transfer\'s correct? That is registered characters will be let in and be in first, but people who do not have registered characters will have to wait a week.
I want to play CB as soon as I can, but I stopped playing Planeshift because all it seemed to be was a pretty chat room and nothing to do until the release of CB.
So this has been a while, and I don\'t know if my character has been deleted. (over 9 months) So should I download Planeshift and register again?
-
In one of the new screenshots of CB there is something that looks like blood.... in the healing spell screenshot... is that blood particles? Or or what is it?
A: No, those are just particle effects. They look pretty dumb in that effect, but hey it was my first experiment... :)
When you mine, do you actually see the rock break away and like a hole made? Like in Red Faction? Or do you just mine the wall and see gold come out of it? Err...
A: Unfortunately we\'re not that advanced to have Red Faction-esque destructable landscape. :P I\'m not sure if that sort of terraforming will ever be implemented, due to how it could be exploited for annoying purposes.
varsity: No. There will be a 1 week period during which people can take the opportunity to transfer their accounts over. Nobody will be playing during this time, so no \'headstart\' just for people who downloaded Molecular Blue.
-
I know there have been queastions befor about this but I\'m ganna be a little more vauge-
will the system requirement go up or down with the new release?

Hard to say. I think that CB will require a little bit more memory but otherwise the stats should be the same or even less as CS has gotten a bit faster now.

Probably ment something like that the people that have MB chars would be able to play before anybody else, which is just.. nonsense..
-
Yeah, I read something (on main page) where it said MB players would begin transfering accounts 2 weeks earlier than people who didn\'t have it.
Was just checking if they got to play before or whatever.
-
They will be able to transfer two weeks before CB is released. Tell me where it says they will be able to play it two weeks before CB is released. :rolleyes:
-
im sure someones asked this but i didnt catch it so here it goes...are the devs accepting sketches for new monsters in CB?
-
There won\'t be any new monsters added to CB before its release, unless they already have monsters that have been modelled, rigged, skinned and animated and are ready for use.
Applications for devship in the 2D and 3D areas are open once again, so I hear. If you want to join the team as a concept artist, send them an email from the Join page of the website. Otherwise, just post your work in the Fanart forum. :)

Not in CB. But probably in later versions.
-
I always love games that have something extra\'s to do, like simple mini-games, a casino to play card games for example for gold against NPC\'s or real players. Does anyone played Lufia2: Raise of the sinistrals? Than you also know the ancient cave ;) I spended like 500 hours in that cave! I mean add something like that and PS if my nr. 1 game immediately :P
so my question:
A: Will there be any mini games or other things to do exept for fighting and working (mining etc.) etc.?
-
Not in CB, but the idea has been discussed several times between the devs, so we\'ll have to wait and see if they come up with anything. :)
-
hmmm I just read something on another thread... and it\'s scaring me :
Q : how many level there are in CB ?
A : there\'s no level in CB
Q : so what\'s the difference between old and new players ? I know Moogie said we cant see the difference but IS THERE a difference ?
A :
-
without levels, how will we increase strength and dexterity and mana and the like?
-
if i remember correctly then there was no overall level system nor a general level system but there will be a system for experience.
-
Yes... I\'ll try and explain very briefly the progression system in CB.
Basically, you gain experience points from various things, usually by performing a skill successfully. Gaining EXP will give you Progression Points. You spend these points by going to an NPC who will train you in a particular skill.
There\'s alot more to it than this, but that\'s basically how you make \'the difference\', i.e. gaining skills and strength. There\'s no way to know if someone is far stronger than you- except, perhaps, the equipment they weild.
-
and with these xp points is there a way to increase the intelligence, Will, strength, agility and charism of the begin of the game ?
In fact you are telling us there\'s nothing different than the others mmorpg except the lvl which dont exist... isn\'t it ?
-

CB is nothing but a hack&slash demo. It\'s still the very early alpha stage of PS. You can\'t expect a fully developed character customization just yet.
-
Is it a way to learn skill after char creation ?
for example :
I choose healer as job but I wanna mine. Could I see a npc that could teach me how to mine ? or are we forced to do the good choice when it\'s char creation time ?
-
1. Please drop ANYTHING you know about the charcreation in MB, the CB\'s is completly diffrent. No need to set your character\'s job, since you can\'t. Do whatever you want
2. CB will be 0.3(00x) where X is probably 3 or something, anyway, CB is the first alpha of PS, ALPHA which will provide the basic functionality of a MMORPG, not so many unique things. For next release the code is there for alot of stuff, we just need to figure out how to implement it. If it\'s going to be some unique stuff, probably Post-CB is the earliest date

You can learn to mine at any point you wish. In char creation, just choose what best suits your char\'s background, and when those things are implimented into the game, you\'ll already have some skill in them.
-
This has been asked several times, but never been answered....
is there armor at cb, and if is, do they show. Can you see them on your char??
-
As far as I knew, it was answered each time someone felt the need to ask it. But I\'ll let you wait for your reply.
Forgive me if this has been asked, but I have not seen it.
I understand that many things will increase your strength, but I can\'t think of something that will increase your maximum HP.
Is there any way to gain more health after creation?
I ask because usually it\'s the levels that increase maximum health in a RPG.
-
Well, enduarance is probably the biggest stat factor since it\'s the wellbeing of the character and how long you can suffer before dieing.
Later stuff like weather, cloths that keep you warm and happy, mental happines, physical state etc will play a role in those calculations too

I\'m not english but I don\'t think androgos answer you...
A : I\'m not a testor but I don\'t think there is a way to see someone is wearing a clothe because of the moogie\'s screenshots... they have weapons but dont have any armour...

If there isnt a armor system, how can you make your character be for example a palladin? strong armor, healing magic and so on....or how to make a tank mage? If there isn\'t an armor system yet, i hope it will at least come to later releases....

Nobody said which year that december would be in :)
Seriously, by \'everyone\' you mean people who know nothing about the current state of cb except from the news :) Don\'t believe anything anyone tells you unless it\'s on the main site :)

Well the news did say that they hoped it would be a happy christmas ;)

Unless you celebrate Christmas early, Fes, that\'s yet to be proven false. :P

If i was a beta tester i would be so happy i would post every little thing that happens on the forum..................

If you mean if they are allowed to post what\'s happening, No they are not.
They have all signed a Non-disclosure agreement, same document all the developers have signed.

why the crap is everything so dang expensive? its like 500 rubys for a mug... will monsters drop like 20 crystals or something...
-
A little searching around the forums (and perhaps even reading this thread *gasp*) could\'ve answered that. There will be no crystals as currency in CB. Forget the MB prices.
And considering that crystal hunting was/is the main event for MB, think of how boring it would\'ve been to get the items quickly and easily.

How hard will it be for players to become the Master of all Trades like it happens in so many other MMORPGS? I love the whole freedom concept but isn?t it a wee bit too flexible?
You know, I?d really hate to roleplay a healer only to realize that most players can heal themselves after 2 months and be able to cast offensive magic/assasinate/lockpick/go melee/etc.

If you actually think you can become a master of everything, you\'ll be very disappointed to find out you\'ll need to spend many, many, many years of playing PS. Especially if you consider the fact that you wont be able to reach the \"max skill\" in something. So what might be a Master now, is probably not what will be a Master later.

Also, it\'s possible that you could \'forget\' skills if you don\'t use them in the future. And with there being so many skills, it would be impossible to maintain a good level in them all.

All items and crystals will be converted to trias when the migration period happens.

Not really. If you have a certain number of crystals you will get a small item. That\'s all.

A1: To begin with, it\'ll be hosted on the same server as MB is now, but if it takes too much traffic, they will move it to a more powerful, independant server.
A2: It\'s gone.
Some corrections:
The CB server is weaker than the original MB server in terms of hardware. However, the entire machine is dedicated to CB, which will mean no contention of system resources. CB is run on a dedicated server.
As for the MB server, Fragnetics will continue to use it for its web hosting operations. Right now both servers are connected to the same uplink, so there should be no difference in terms of connectivity between the MB and CB servers.
If CB gets really big, there is a chance that a provider in another geographical region will host an additional instance of CB.

We don\'t have exact numbers at the moment but I estimate we should be able to easily handle a few hundred users at the same time. Maybe more.
Just FYI the server is:
Pentium 4 2.66GHz (B)
1GB ECC PC-2100 DDR-SDRAM
2x 80GB IDE HDDs
Not a particularly strong machine - I\'m sure a lot of you have better systems at home, but I think it should hold up fairly well. The harddisks are not mirrored so it should be possible to keep an archive of the database and other crucial files.

If it says \"Implemented in a -future- version,\" don\'t you think it means a version that isn\'t CB? Anyway... To make it more clear. It\'ll be implemented \"Soon\". :)

What is a \"Ring of the past\" ? What does it do?
-
It is to show that you have come from a previous age. More a momento and reminder of the past than any usefull object. I do not believe it will have any magical powers, also from what I have heard it will be inseperable from the character meaning no (buying/selling/stealing/losing) of it.
-
now will everyone who has migrated get that ring because it did not stand in my E-mail that i got that ring?!

That means you need to have 3 accounts, and if you\'re selling your characters, you will be destorying the whole thought behind the ring.
The ring is supposed to be an object to show that you played MB (Might do something more, like give access to some exclusive store or something later), so please, don\'t give it away / sell it to newbies. If you don\'t want it, we might just as well delete it from the DB

hum... the last new \"bugs happen\" said to make the whole thing again... I got the exactelly same thing...
But this time I noted how many rubys I had, and the conclusion was 1 ruby = 3,3 trias (3,26412252071303037911122269646)
lol, if there\'s a minimum amount of xtals to get the Ring, then there were lot\'s of ppl who got nothing... like Zagro, everytime he found something he gave it to the 1st person he found, I remember that. And the guys who were giving dias away...
EDIT: I\'ve been reading the page again and Russian Vodka has another chance to make the migration again :D

yes, I my transfered my mom\'s and my sis\' chars and their conversion rate was like 2,something

--\"The conversion is not linear.\"
yeah if you had a conversion rate of 2 or 3 to 1 thats only for a specific amount of gems. If your interested, i worked out an estimate for the coversion rate, given the fact that its logarithmic:
Tria = log to the base z of (X/Y)
where z approx = 1.0004575
x = total value of your gems (rubies = 1, emaralds = 10, diamonds = 100)
y approx = 10.39646
Helps if you know how to calculate logs i suppose :P
Have tested it through 100 - 26000 gems, prob dosnt work for low gem amount, especially not gem amounts under 10. The devs made it not linear so that the players who had huge amounts of cyrstals didnt get a massive head start, i assume.
And your mother and sis play planshift? thats amazing, seriously your family must be one of a kind. (in a good way, of course)

Trust me. You don\'t want a family that plays online games. There\'s nothing more humiliating than having a mom that calls you a n00b. :(
Anyway, not exactly a FAQ-related thing, so please move it to some other thread somewhere.
Will there be a really hard \'Boss Stage\' at the end of the migration?
Pretty much, yes. That\'s a developer-only stage, though.
so....how many stages of migration r there gonna be?
It -should- end somewhere around christmas, and I\'m not sure exactly how many stages there are supposed to be. But there can\'t be many left.
-

I call my mom a newb :P but somehow she has more xtals than me...
And from the point of view of moms we are newbs... to the RL world
getting back to the subject
It -should- end somewhere around christmas, and I\'m not sure exactly how many stages there are supposed to be. But there can\'t be many left.
As you said, there won\'t be much stages, but I\'m sure the last one will be very long, the testing one... So expect CB after xmas, and if it comes earlier, you\'ll be even more exited.

in the MB charecter creation one of the advantages is starting off with 200 trias. If this is still an option in CB will it be more than 200?
-
I hate to ask this, because I know it\'s probably been answered before, but I can\'t find it, so here goes:
Q: Where exactly am I supposed to download CB from?
Q2: Will the system requirements for the game be raised?
This is somewhat dissappointing. I came to this game and couldn\'t play it cause I didn\'t have enough RAM. I got more yesterday, only to find that the servers were shut down. That\'s my luck for ya.
-

The character creation of CB is nothing like the one in MB.
Q: Where exactly am I supposed to download CB from?
http://www.planeshift.it would be a good place to try.
Q2: Will the system requirements for the game be raised?
There never were any set requirements, however I\'d say CB requires less than MB. But a relatively normal computer with 512MB ram, ~1.5 - 2 GHz and a somewhat new Graphics card should be able to run it just fine. Loading times might be a little longer if you have less RAM, and the overall gameplay might be a little more choppy, but as long as you have somewhere around 256MB or more, you\'ll be fine.

So, if it symbolizes that you\'ve played MB, why is it restricted for people who collected more crystals?

Q: How many bugs are there left?
Q: Are all data files (maps, models, textures) installed on the server (no extra data that has to be merged into CB)?
Q: Will guilds get some kind of \"forum\" ingame? Or any other external site replasing matterial/option/tool/place?
Edit: put in an extra ?
-
Hmmm ok I know I\'m a n00b and using this thread is very dangerous for my first post but I\'ve cruised a bit around the forum before and I ESPECIALLY read through this thread before posting, so I hope it won\'t get deleted/flamed/ignored...
Haven\'t had the chance of playing MB (downloaded it but when I wanted to play it the server was gone).
Other than this, Project: Entropia is my only MMORPG experience so far, so I was wondering about a few interesting things:
1) Player interaction. Given that combat will be a \"click once, then see it happen\" experience, I wonder if there are other player interactions between players possible, like, for instance, waving, doing a thumbs-up, throwing a kiss, stuff like that?
2) I know this is a fantasy MMORPG but, given the fact that it is different from anything previous, is the dev team considering also a \"modern\" range of weapons? I mean, axes, swords and bows are pretty common to a lot of (MMO)RPGs but would you consider developing modern weaponry (something like lightsabers and laser blasters)- or such weapons but with a phantasy-twist to them? Also, besides armor (which won\'t be implemented too soon from what I gather), will there also be shields for protection? And if yes, will in \"party vs mob\" or even \"guild war\" type combat formationing be possible as to make use of combined shielding for better protection, like the \"Turtle formation\"?
3) (forgot to add this one, so it\'s edited) Will there be a mentorship system implemented? Like in Project: Entropia, for helping out newcomers there is a mentorship system, where for helping out a n00b (which becomes a disciple of said mentor), the mentor is rewarded?
-
3) A: There will be an system, so that noobs don\'t have to ask question to regular players and get helped without pissing people off.
Q: News stated that conten would added continuously to the public server. Does this also count for program code (program updates)?

1) Can\'t really be answered, as with every new bug fix, new bugs appear all over the place.
2) The server gets updated all the time with the stuff needed to run the game.
3) Guilds will have their guild chat, but if you want guild forums and such, you\'ll have to make a guild website.

Yes.
1) Player interaction. Given that combat will be a \"click once, then see it happen\" experience, I wonder if there are other player interactions between players possible, like, for instance, waving, doing a thumbs-up, throwing a kiss, stuff like that?
If there is an emote which isn\'t ingame, it will be added someday. At this point however, all the things like kissing and dancing and whatever you may think off hasn\'t been added, as the main focus of CB is to get the combat and skill system working. But emotes will come some day.
2) I know this is a fantasy MMORPG but, given the fact that it is different from anything previous, is the dev team considering also a \"modern\" range of w...blablablabla...
Blasters? Lightsabers? Gee, get a grip. Go play Star Wars if you\'re so interested in that kind of stuff. As for the shields - Yes, shields are implemented, however multi-user functions aren\'t in yet, so no shield formations and such, unless you have a general who tells people which fighting stance to use, and so on. But guild wars isn\'t something like where you meet on a battlefield and make a big clash. It\'s all-out death and destruction, all over the place. :)
3) (forgot to add this one, so it\'s edited) Will there be a mentorship system implemented? Like in Project: Entropia, for helping out newcomers there is a mentorship system, where for helping out a n00b (which becomes a disciple of said mentor), the mentor is rewarded?
There is a system, like Kronon said. It\'s quite simple actually. Players can set themselves to advisor mode, and they will recieve questions from time to time, from people who have something to ask, which can be... anything, really. However, don\'t get any ideas about powertrips, because abusing the system can easily result in a mad Dev/GM, and you don\'t want mad Devs/GMs on you, because they can /kill you... And they can do it a lot.

That\'s not true. You can specialise in one way of magic, and do swords, heavy armour, and shields... and you\'e got yourself a mage tank :D

Hum... you both have a point.
In a fantasy game lightsabers and blasters aren\'t the most suitable weapons, but there could be something like research and produce weapons. New weapons made by players and all that. I don\'t know if I made myself clear...

It is a fantasy game, yes, but it is still a fantasy game in a medieval setting, and no matter how weird your fantasy is, it is not possible to find anything which has the slightest resemblance to a lightsaber, or a blaster gun in a medieval setting. Just isn\'t possible. A whip of fire for the baddest of the baddest maybe, but besides that... Nope.
-
Forget about the future weapons but what I want to know are there going to be any range weapons(i.e. bows, crossbows) since I know there are none in CB. Now there might be none so far because of the difficulty of doing them, but would like to know if they are planned in the future or not :)
-
But when i cast all of my firebolt magic into my staff i will be having something that resembles a light sabre pretty much :D
-
It wasn\'t that what I was saying Gronomist. (Guess I didn\'t make myself clear :P) Of course such weapons are very \"advanced\" to the middle age, what I was saying was that players could research and make new weapons.
Now that I\'m thinking, in a fantasy middle age game weapons that are impossible in RL \"now\" could be made in PS, but not lightswords or fire weapons, but other things... have you ever seen Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow... er... you saw the strange jets that fly like birds? What I mean is advanced things for the age but based on current knowledge. Again, I don\'t know if you understand me... *thinks in an example er... I know: think in the cameras, in PS a guy invented something like that, but he made one that had eyes and a hand and would draw the image very fast (stupid example but it was one of the greates explanations)
*checks the create char place in the MB client
hum... I know that the MB isn\'t updated, but according to it there will be bows, ther\'s a job in the \"The Great Hunt\" that is bowyer {Skills: ..., Bow making (10), Fleching (10)} so that means the devs were planing bows in the game.
-
Would it be possible to change your name in CB, just for a few weeks. There is a name I want but its alredy taken (I am fairly sure it wont be reserved for CB.)
-
I think you\'ll have to create a new char
Transfer your MB char and then transfer your stuff from the MB char to the new char
-
I cant transfer the ring, I want the ring. (Mainly because I dont want some noob who only just signed on when MB ended to brag to me about the ring calling me a newbie. Also I want the ring for a personal right, I want it to say I am a old player. If any mods are reading this have the ablity to change my name then please say so I can request a name change.
-
oh, I see, I understand your point... I would want the ring too (lol, we don\'t even know if it does something but everyone wants it just for what it symbolises)
If the name was already taken it reduces the chances to change the name of your char...
-
The name was taken but I doubt if it will be anymore.
