What do you think is the coolest to play with:
-Enchanter
-Warlock
-Fighting Monk
-Rogue
-Knight
?
-
You\'ve got to decide what you want to be.
Right now, you can pretend to be whatever you want, noone will ask for proofs; besides, you don\'t have to stick on any of the proposals you said, those are simply guidelines to help you during char creation process (that is, right now, bugged) so just choose the one you feel more comfortable with, later in game if you change your mind, pretend to be something else.
I mean, there\'s no label up your head saying \"That guy choosed to be a rogue\" in game; just your name and guild labels, wich, from what I\'ve seen, seem more than enough for the average.
-
So i will choose an enchanter character and later on i will can change it to knight or rogue?
-
If you\'re that certain you\'ll be ending as a knight or rogue, why not choose them right at the beginning?
-
i was thinking about trying all characters in one username
-
You have to understand that there are no real classes here. As it has been stated, those are just guidelines. All it does in the character creation process is determine your stats. Your appearance will not be altered depending on what you choose, neither will your skills - you still take care of that on your own (in the case of appearance, that will be much later in the game future). No one will know (or really care) what you chose during the character creation. What they will care about is your roleplay.
-
also keep in mind that the classes are very unbalanced at this early of a state in the game. so if u choose to be say... a mage, prepare for frustration since magic starts out even weaker than your fists in most cases (not many spells yet anyway and they cost 1000 tria each), but simply buying a sword 5x cheaper can make 1-3.00 damage into like 10.00.
but its your choice just experiment with different combinations :D
-
The choices that you make in the character creation wont really limit you if you want to change the focus of your character later on. Of course it will give you a head start in one or two particular areas (say you fight have high strength and low wisdom so you\'ll be more suited to combat rather than magic) but you can make up for this by training those areas that you\'re lacking in.
-
thanks for help :) i started to play as a rogue but when ill have more money ill try out some spells.
One more question: is there any map for this game?
-
No maps currently, and no auto-maps in the future. There will be a Cartography skill with which players will be able to create their own maps, with time to come.
-
i hope it will come soon :) Its hard to find myself in severs.
Could you also tell me what can i do with progression points?
-
Progression points are needed to level in every skills.
Example: If you want to level stg, you must get some trias and some pp\'s (progression points) then speak with the right npc to level you.
-
when i click train with eg. Harnquist my stats are opening and there are showing skills like mining, what shall i click in order to train in it?
-
well if you want to train mining select mining and then click the bag icon at the top, its all in the players guide.
*goes to hunt for the link*
*returns with link*

When the characters will be wiped ill plays as female Enkidukai (you think that male or female looks better ?!) and she will be a warlock. Do you think that this combination is good? What do you think is the best character to use sword & shield?
-
And any idea when they\'ll get wiped?
-
Please do not multi-post, edit your previous post to add new content.
As stated a few thousands of time on the forums, in the sticky threads, and the other ones you can find using the search button, the wipe will occur when the devs think it\'s time, noone (not even them) knows when it will be, could be next week, could be next century.
As for the choice of a race, if it\'s not for the background or look of your char, you can choose according to the main stats of the race, Enkis are better with agility skills, Klyros intelligence etc... in the beginning at least, I dont know if they evolve differently when you train
-
Well... is there anyway to save my char before you will delete it?
-
...That last question makes no sense. What do you mean by \'save\'? All characters will be deleted and you will have to start all over, with the character creation process. In the meantime, everything you do is already saved every step of the way on the server. If you mean a way to traditionally click on a \"save\" button in a game, such things are unnecessary in MMORPGs.
-
i mean if the character information will be saved on the server because it is stupid when you know that characters will be deleted but you dont know when and you dont want to start new char.
-
Please read what I wrote - all characters will be deleted and you will have to recreate yours, as you did in the beginning, with the character creation process. You don\'t have a choice. If you want to continue playing, you will have to start over. Please refrain from starting an argument over the fairness of this, many similar discussions have been started and properly addressed. Use the Seach feature to find them :)
-
Now now Kura...are you saying that fists are weak...;)
-
i believe that the characters we are playing right now are 100% test because they could completely change when the real version comes out or when overhauled updates are released. so it would make sense that these characters would be deleted if they didn\'t work correctly with new point releases.
-
well right now there are too many bugs in the game
-
Trust me, everyone is well-aware ;) This is one of the major reasons for the wipe.
-
X( dang i thought the people that had been here a long time where just being *sses when sayin to use the search button but ive only been here several weeks and im already tired of every other thread (maybe not even that) being about when the wipe is and why cant we save the characters... ill admit though i contributed to one of them :(
-
i think that in this game should be things like:
-You can open your own store.
-You can sell items to a genneral store where other players can buy it later on.
-Much more monsters.
-BOWS and crossbows.
-Map (going to be)
-More money from monsters.
-Easier to find shop.
-Spells that cost is from 100 trias.
-Said how much damage and item gives and how much deffence it gives. (eg in diablo armor is not making that you receive less dmg, it gives more chance that you will not be hit).
Well i forgot all other things that i wanted to write :)

All this stuff:
1) Belongs in the Wish List Forum (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/board.php?boardid=11)
2) Has all been mentioned infinity-billion times...
-
And will they work?
-
In the far and distant future. Though I doubt that magical items will ever be that cheap - mining picks are priced at 100 trias currently. I think the expense of magic is fine as is.
