this wish is for the planeshift website or the forum :
I think we could prevent a big number of dead account just by publishing the pictures of the player character availlable.
In fact in MB you just have a draw (fine the draw but not what we wanted to know) and after everybody think not he could go back at the first page when he see his character and moreover when you run you dont see the character with the same side.
So please if you are in my mind publish a picture of every sides we could see

Like the way it is done in NWN? Yes, that\'d be good.

Give him a break guys, he is from France and English is not his native tounge. I would like to see you write so well in French.
However, looking into my gibberish to English dictionary ;) , I believe he meant something like as follows:
Dead accounts : a person downloads the game, chooses a character without knowing what said character looks like in-game, doesn\'t like the way he looks, abandons account, starts over at step two.
He would like to see actual in-game pics of all of the chars from all angles or perhaps a 3D rotation. So would I for that matter.
-
Also indepth information on each stat and what it does also helps prevent starting over.
It would be good to have a list somewhere of low leveled monsters and how much damage they do and the required stats for low leveled items so that you dont end up creating a character that is too weak.

I know he is from France but I still had no idea what he was trying to say and I was merely asking for clarification. In regards to me writing so well in French, I would have to agree with you :D.
Anyway I would imagine that there would be some way to view your character and understand the implications of each choice before you create your character. I would also imagine that there would be a way to reverse all these choices.

I wouldn\'t be that picky about other people\'s grammar if I were you ;)

Yeah it\'s good idea. I think Planeshift should borrow that concept from Korean hack/slash games where you log in by clicking your character. By the way, the character in those games looks the way you left him ingame, meaning that he/she is wearing full gear and weapons.

You don\'t choose stats in CB. I think it\'s very likely that it will be left up to the community to create \'character creation guides\', because it\'s quite a hidden process and you don\'t really know what skills you\'ll have untill you get in the game.
That said, I have heard a rumour about a patch being made that will display all your stats and skills at the end of char creation, so we\'ll have to wait and see.

Perhaps anything I like from this is Character Pics...I would like that...ahh...thinks Baldur\'s Gate..ahh...

As long as it involves absolutely no randomisation, it\'s acceptable IMO.
-
The most annoying thing possible would be for you to choose your \"ways\" etc, and then get into the game and find out there not what you thought they were. As long as EVERYTHING is explained CLEARLY, i shall be happy. :D
-
In some cases you simply aren\'t happy with the character you made and you want to do a complete remake of thata chracter without wasting an account slot, so it makes me wonder, can characters be deleted?

I think it\'s a joke but no french is able to understand if your ironic sentence mean :
- 51 words is too many
or
- 51 words is not too many
cause there are effectively sentences with more than 50 words... it\'s not hard to do in french cause our brain is able to follow... :-P (eh you\'re ironic with me I\'m ironic with you ;-))
I know the english sentences are pretty shorts and I think this is not bad.

I think you all know that the awareness decrease when you are really veeeeeeeeery tired... the big problem with me is that I\'m everytime tired...
so now it\'s time to the translation you are all looking for (more than CB...)
-------------------------------------------------------------
My wish in that thread could be apply to the forum or to the planeshift official website (http://www.planeshift.it).
There are more than 250000 accounts created but I really think there isn\'t a lot of players who keeps playing. When somebody create account and stop to play ps, I call this kind of account \"dead account\".
And in fact a lot of these dead accounts are abandonned because people doesn\'t like their character and wanted to change...
But today the developpers wanna start the accounts creation again because of the number of dead accounts (absolutly huge one). So that\'s why I advice them to show us these characters (with screenshots or renderers)

Well, as I said, the NWN system would be good for this. Basicly, it is your char as it will show up in the game, against a black background, and you can move and turn so that you can examine it\'s looks and animations. AFAIR, you can also zoom out to see what it would look like from a distance. Pretty good IMO.
As for the abandoned MB chars: surely changes of chars will be one reason, but I believe that the majority of these accounts come from people who just wanted to try out PS. Also, there will be lots of corrupted accounts, from all these people who didn\'t know or care about the deletion page in linkdead and related cases.
Another reason will be people who left PS to wait for the next version.
However, even if such a system wouldn\'t prevent the majority of abandoned accounts, it\'d be worthwile IMO. For the remaining accounts that will undoubtly still accumulate in CB, I have already proposed the automatic deletion for extended inactivity, making the database self-cleaning.
As for the sentence length: AFAICS, there is no language that couldn\'t be used to construct sentences of arbitrary length without violating any syntactical or other rules at all. ;)

That sounds pretty good although I would like to be able to change the background colour and the light levels/angles so you can truely see what your character will be like in all situations.
