*cough cough* what I mean is...

I like the ideas for the maps, and I agree that certain people on this forum need to do their research.  I dont know how far back this unnamed person goes, but I played DND, which is the undesputed father of RolePlaying. In DND, there are maps. the DM has one and the players make their own.  Sometimes when a player slays a monster that monster will have a crude map on them (not nessisarily accurate though, if the monster\'s stupid).

Also, if an ability is not included, some third-party hacker will write a packetsniffer to detect data (in this case the co-ordinates of the player\'s character) and map that into a window with a map that shows what is where.

I\'m glad to see that the implimentors are planning to add that power to the game themselves, so we dont have to wait for hackers to make it ;)

Lyrah, I am not saying that people, such as yourself, who are posting bug reports (or the equivalent) are bi***ing. I am refering to all the \"this game is too hard!\" comments that are simply unfounded, and do not provide any info \'well, WHY is the game too hard? too hard a combat, is the speed too slow/fast? or did you just take the wrong pill today?\'

When peopel post random garbage is when I get annoyed. If you have a REASON then it\'s fine. I have problems zoning into and out of the sewars from the upper entrance, I think there\'s a problem, devs need to look at it because it happens a lot --- that kind of \'complaint\' is good, and supportive.  I have no issues with it.

ok, so I exadgerated a little...

But we all know the pay MMORPGs advance faster, they release more updates (Sony\'s MMORPG is in what? 11th installment now?)

I\'m well aware of the bugs, I am a major fan of the Sony MMORPG\'s /rewind command heh, I get stuck when I try to move past crates/barrels/chests/etc

But my point remains, people need to calm their complaining about the game just because it\'s not on-par with pay MMORPGs. That\'s all I\'m trying to say.

I just wanted to say I\'m tired of reading threads and hearing people b****ing about the game. this is a FREE GAME, everyone! that means that not only do you not pay anything, but the PROGRAMMERS dont get paid! This is all charity work! There aren\'t even any banner adverts, so it totals $0 comming in.

If you want a good game that updates near-weekly and stays atop all the bugs; fixing them before players even find them. Then I recamend you do like I have and subscribe to a game that you acctually PAY FOR! That way the programmers get paid and are motivated to keep it running at 110% with no bugs and lots of features.

I\'m not bashing Planeshift, quite the contrary. I respect anyone who\'ll put this ammount of time into something that they\'re getting NO money for. (Even the minor script games I tinker with making have banner adverts on all the pages) I have great respect for the PS team and hope they continue to work hard towards such a great game. I for one would not mind paying a subscription fee when it\'s finished if it progresses with this leval of graphics and code.

Thank you for listening, and realize that these people are doing this for free; have a little heart.

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Death... every time... how do I get into the pit alive???
« on: April 04, 2005, 01:03:46 am »
I have 1 simple question. I go into the temple, I leap into the pot in the back and I walk off the cliffe onto the bridge

I\'m now at like 3% health

I wait to regen and when I\'m g2g, I walk down the roap to the other bridge and leap to the ground or bridge

//you have fallen to your death//

I leapt WAY too far one time and fell probably the equivalent to 4 stories down to the bottom floor and I saw someone else down there (alive) fighitng something just as darkness releaved me of the upteen hundered broken bones I\'d recieved int he fall...

How do I get into the pit without dieing? or it it just a \'you\'re too week, lvl up first!\' problem?

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Not implimented? It was before...

I dont mean to seem to be questioning the GMs, but I remember back in (atomic blue? molecular blue?) Character customization WAS allowed (I had a white tiger, a panther, and a orange tiger) Though limited (I dont htink eye color was avalible on the models I used)

Was that code scrapped (for loadtime perhaps?) or was it just turned off and will come back?

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Best Map Idea (already used elsewhere)
« on: April 04, 2005, 12:54:47 am »
A few Thoughts

I\'m a member of another (Pay to Play) MMORPG run by a littly company caled Sony (I gather from other posts that my message will get deleted if I mention it by name) They use this wonderful idea: you have boxes (or the equivalent) to show that there\'s SOMETHING there! no telling what it is. A few places are labled, but most aren\'t but you get the featureof adding your own lables as you progress (suppose I found a sectret door, I could pull up my map and click \"add label\" and write in \"Secret Door\" and then next time I loaded hte map, it would show up)

However, this map is ONLY viewable in full-screen (making it useless in areas with mobs with high agro (translation: making it useless in areas with monster that will attack you))

The map\'s mainly just used to give you a genneral direction. And also, the game interface has a compas to tell you what dierction you\'re facing. I think that would be a nice feature to add as the world expands

Also... anyone ever consider future possibilities for this game? The MMORPG I pay to play sells maps in real life books! The Planeshift team may be planning something like that to try and get more profit as time progresses (hey bandwidth and serverspace isn\'t free!)

Just a few thoughts...

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Worked much better!
« on: April 03, 2005, 01:24:10 pm »
I used the fragnetics link and then patched the install using the updater and ON 56K I did it in just under 24 hours! (long time, yes, but on 56K 200-300 mb in 24 hours is unheardof!)

And the Bittorrent said it\'d take a week phht! (lol)

Thanks for the link, ghostslayer!

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / 4-0-4
« on: April 02, 2005, 03:41:47 am »
I have tried that trick using Go!Zilla but I get a 404 File not Found when I start the download (and with bittorrent I also get a download rate of 0 or 1 kps... while the d***ed upload speed is like 4! uploads (which I have not authorized and dont want) are sucking all my bandwidth!)) Anyone know of a mirror? I\'m on dialup and so far this file says it will take me 4 days to download (when I\'ve downloaded entire CDs in that length of time)

My last idea failed when I tried to search for Planeshift on Gnutella... seems that it\'s not very popular... atleast not at this time of night...

Anyone have any other suggestions?
