Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: requirements to high
« on: May 12, 2006, 09:59:20 am »
For Windows XP, 256mb is the minimum for word processing, so 512 isnt out of line especially concidering the amount of data that has the be used for the areas.

Now, I do have to say, sometimes with 512mb of RAM, Planeshift runs badly. It was horrid on my Mac mini with 512mb of ram, and 1.42ghz G4, but I'd bet the bottle necks there are the GPU (32mb) and harddrive. Its nice on my AMD64 2800+ with a gig of ram and 128mb Radeon 9200 and Linux, with the only issue being lag from my connection.

General Discussion / Re: Death realm

My main monitor died, and my spare isnt as bright, so even cranked up to max, Death's realm was pitch black. I worked for like an hour and a half to get out. Once I used fullbright, it took like a minute. Now I run fullbright all the time to fix the stuff in the forest along Ojavedo, etc.

General Discussion / Re: What kind of house do you want?

Personally, I'd just like a place to stash stuff.

It'd help free up the furnace at Harns (because people leave their iron in there, so they dont have to carry it), and lets you not have to liquidate your assets all the time (I have some nice, expensive weapons, I dont always use them, but I want to keep them.)

That way it'd be easier to make (remember, someone has to model and setup all those fancy places you're wishing for), and easy to get to. Just have like the Inn have a storage locker that basically gets treated like another inventory box.

More Places:
All I seem to have found so far is Hydlaa, the forest, and Oja which i have been near but haven't bothered to enter yet. Is there more already or must I wait?

Death's realm, the arena, and the underground ruins. Also there is more to Hydlaa than the plaza.

Magic:
Wtf? Magic Shop: Unfindable for noobs. Glyphs: 1,000,000,000,000,000 trias each (or so it seems to us newbs) Magic Spell trainers: OH WHY, WHY ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME?!
Once again,
"Where's the [magical?] beef?"

I found it shortly after starting play. Its not that hard for people willing to explore.

Conclusion:
I know PS is in it's very early stages, but here's a message to future devs: DON'T RELEASE YOUR GAME UNLESS ITS ACTUALLY GOT CONTENT!

Dude, welcome to the world of Opensource development. Its a bit different than your traditional commercial development, since you have to put your stuff out there, hope others find it and help you out. If they didnt release it till it was finished, it'd never get released, since no one would know about it to help work on it.
