Title: Confused Client?
Post by: Hiraghm on July 14, 2008, 01:09:48 am
I joined Planeshift a long time ago, maybe a couple years. I took my character down into the sewers, and either got very beat up or died, I believe, and left the game.

I just decided to give it another try, and my character still existed. I logged him in, and he's naked, of course, and was at very low health.

The interesting thing was that the tutorial was running as if he were a new character somewhere else, and not in the sewers.

Will I have to recreate this character? I've gotten him upstairs to town, but he has no equipment and no weapons, so it's unlikely he can accomplish anything.

I just thought it was a curious thing that the game would think him in the tutorial when he wasn't. I'm guessing it's the result of client/server changes since I created him.

Anyway, any information would be appreciated. The game has great graphics now, better movement than I remember. I just have to get used to the new interface.

You may want to just delete that char and remake a new one.  There's a new tutorial zone thing that would help you familiarize yourself with a lot things that have changed since you've been away. your new char would get starting equipment ad stuff as well.

But if you really don't want to create a new one, you can still use the old one.  Just ignore the little tutorial pop up thingy at the bottom.

 welcome back.  :)

Currently those tutorial popups appear whenever you create a new character I believe. Something that will probably be fixed but at a low priority because it is more an annoyance than something that will stop you playing.

It is on the bug tracker (http://www.hydlaa.com/flyspray_upgrade/index.php?do=details&task_id=1171) so it will eventually get fixed.
