Also this second point means that although I actually agree with some of the points you raised I do not see the point of listening to someone that has to resort to insults, because if you were at all sorry there is clearly marked EDIT POST button.
But that\'s the thing, i typed that before i posted, I looked over the post, and couldn\'t find any other planeShift in the post...And it was only becouse i typed it ONCE that i said that. I was not Insulting anyone.
I would like to suggest that you follow your own point and at the very least spellcheck.
hey look at that, No Spell Check on the forums...
If there were spelling mistakes, They were typo\'s... And people who make a big deal about spelling mistakes/typo\'s are mostly people who can\'t think of anything else to say....It\'s a fact of life that people can\'t spell, People may not have been able to learn that skill when in school, there are Adults who can\'t spell alot of words...and it is a lagit Sickness.
If you don\'t bother reading the manual, it\'s your decision, but do you set a machine into working without looking into the manual to find out how it works? Planeshift is like some machine, but it has more controls, more options and more possible traps than most consumer machines. So, either learn the game the smooth way or the hard way, but don\'t complain that you don\'t get it to work.
Planeshift is a GAME, Not a Machine. games have Manuals, But Not everyone reads them, I\'ve played games with people who didn\'t know how to do something when it was plainly in the Manual, but that is the only thing they can\'t do, and most of the time, it\'s something that isn\'t easy.
MMO\'s are not ment to have such a steep learning Curve. take any game, Sometimes the Controlles are totaly diffrent from what your used to, but share some of the same Ideas, and can be learnt by simple Button Bashing...Not with this game.
This game is in progress. Sound quite easy, but has an important effect:
How often do some companies develop games and after the release see that there is a wrong balance in numbers, thrength, diffculty or other things. That\'s what alphy and pre-alphy stages are ment for: To give the developers some feedback as to what works, what sould be made better and what doesn\'t work. You can\'t really concentrate on character creation without considering what effects it has on the gameplay. So you have to do it and some parallel way.
Well, alot of games do that, Final Fantasy XI did that, they relised they made one job to powerful, and changed it.
Alpha stages, are INturnal, with some Extrenal people testing, NOT EVERYONE. This game is Public Avaliable, Meaning that it would be at least in Open Beta, which it clearly isn\'t. Charater Creation should be one of the first things an MMO should have done. and not left HALF done. Like it currantly, There is what? a total of 6 mabey 8 Models for all their charaters MALE and female? There should be atleast TWO diffrent Models for each race, Unless a race dosn\'t have a gender, in which case, only one would be needed.
Nothing that i saw in the Charater Creation Effects the Gameplay at all. If anything It would Imporve the Game Play, fixing..Or in this case Finishing, the Charater Creation System would do NOTHING to the game rather then allow diffrent Looking PCs Into the game. If you are meaning that It will slow their development of gameplay, To quote what the admin said about the Guild thing \"...it may help them focus on their structure a bit.\"
Read the MOTD message on client startup?
Thats not a question, thats a statment. To make it a question there would be \"have you Read the...\"
It says that characters will be wiped to get rid of old bugs and exploits, and I assume this was also the reason for the last wipe. The time it was done can be discussed on, but you surely don\'t want people complain on bugs that are fixed but still lurk around in one of the characters.
Whil thats all well and good, but wouldn\'t they do that when they make the new patch?
and have YOU read the MOTD (FYI, MOTD, means Message of the Day, It seems that that message has been up for more then a Day, so changing it to MOTM, Message of the Moment, Would be better suited) It says something along the lines of \" charater Bugs, Exploits, and CHEATERS\"
I think the devs do a good job, and instead of complaining, join them and help them do it better.
I have think they have done a great job, I was just saying what I would have done, IE Fixed the Charater Creastion system to make it work. I wasn\'t saying they didn\'t do a good job, just they shouldn\'t have made the game public, just yet.
And i would gladly join them, if they wanted me...And if i could give something to the team. (E-mail me Dev Team if you want me to help BTW, \'couse, I arn\'t Submitting an Application) And Like i said, I\'m also the Project Directer of a project at the moment, that is in Pre-Production. and everything I\'ve said in planeshift will be the things we MAKE sure arn\'t in our game. IE Charater System (Dev Team, You really need to work on that.)
In closing, I was speaking to the Dev team, Not anyone else, But i am glad that you both tryed and stand up for the game you like, I would have done the same if i were in your possion.
Wow, What a long Message ^_^
