General Discussion / Re: Played for 5 days, and just un-instaled, heres why

Did you try saying simply "yes"?

Pretty sure I started a sentence with that, that sure did make me think though haha! However, harnquist isn't the only npc i've tried to speak to, and every npc has, across the board, been that frustrating, and regardless of alpha stages, keywords make a hellova lotta sense to me, the fact you need to use a complete sentence, and at that a very precise sentence, still comes across as flawed, again, surely, it's takes less programing power to have the npcs respond to a single word? (even if it has to be delivered in a sentence) I don't know, as I have no experience of any kind of programing, modding or anything simlier, so again, this is another thing that held me back from perhaps getting as much out of PS as I could have.

Anyhow, hope you all have far more positive experiences then I, I will return in the future perhaps, right now though, it's just too frustrating=(

*edit*

Well.. since this game is a MMORPG (emphasis on the MMO) i would think the point would be moreso to interact with the various people and characters you will meet in the game in a roleplay manner. If all you want are quests and leveling and beign silent all the time and running around fetching things for people, try a single player game.

But yes, the quest system, along with just about every other aspect of the game, needs tweaking at best. Hence prealpha testing.

I mentioned the people were helpful, that wasn't the issue though, as the times I tend to get to play are often rather late, and I've hardly seen a soul, so quests were the main thing I wanted to concentrate on, and if I wanted to play a single player game, I would, thank you =P

Funnily enough, when being asked if I would like to learn sword making from Harnquist I replied three times "I would like to learn sword making Harnquist" + "I am interested in learning sword making Harnquist" and finally "teach me sword making harnquist"

Why would I get completely rid of a game due to these three things not working?

Quite simply, if nether of those phrases works, imho, this game is incredibilly flawed, I have felt, everytime I have asked an npc, that I am playing an impossible game, now this is supposed to be a roleplaying, no spoiler-sites game, yet the first npc you are told to speak to refuses to talk because YOU DIDN'T PHRASE IT RIGHT?!? In EQ, this kinda quest system worked, because it worked on KEYWORDS, not entire complete exact sentences! All I feel in PS is that I have to talk to npc-shaped robots, and after five days of it, I find the desire to do anything in PS has left me, this is a massive shame, I was looking forward to  getting into this game, I loved it when I first started it up, it reminded me of EQ, there was RP (missing from SO MANY rpg's!) and people were willing to help.

However, to have such fundimental flaws in the way the npcs work is going to lose you more and more people, it's not realistic, it's not "one of the fun parts" of PS. It's frustrating and very pointless, I mean honestly, the first sentence I used, how could this NOT work, it is imho, the most obvious thing that springs to mind in regards to what your told, and EQ could even get this better then PS has, hardly a feat imho to change this.


I'm angry, mainly because I WANTED to play this game, I honestly, really did, but I'm not spending my time wasted saying a million very logical and obvious things to a npc that just says I need to speak a complete phrase! It truely makes no sense, please, make it so keywords are the um, key and I'll come back, until that happens planeshift is just too ridiculous to consider playing, sorry.

Yes I know it's an alpha stage game, but surely, using keywords is even more basic then relaying on complete sentences, you can claim it's to encourage people to use proper sentences, but when those sentences don't even work, it's still frustrating, and pointlessly so.

Start as you mean to go on is a phrase that comes to mind, all I could think was, this is the first npc i speak to properly, and I felt stonewalled. utterly.


Sorry, but MASSIVE disapointment, and I wasn't expecting much in the first place, something better then runescape was my thought

Please don't flame, this is a post meant to highlight an issue that surely must have been mentioned a fair few times now, and without issues being voiced, you cannot improve.

Thank you kindly, all the site had was links to the above, perhaps an update would be prudent?=) on 0.4% already, hehe, can't wait to try this game, anything else I should have a heads-up on in regards to getting everything sorted?)

Thanks again!

I'm un-sure if you can help with this problem, I don't think it's a bit-torrent exclusive issue, as I've downloaded AO through it with no issues whatsoever.

I have checked, but couldn't find any info recently for bit torrent, sorry if I've missed anything.

Torrent starts up, tells me in bottom right, checking for firewall, and planeshift won't budge one iota, no u/l or d/l speed, i've tried adjusting settings to 7777 and putting the bandwidths to full, but being very un-skilled in anything to do with pc configueration, im totally clueless what to do, imo, surely this should be a lot simplier to get started, is there no-way to avoid using bit torrent at all, i'd like to play this game, but I'm certainly not going to be able to if it involves a lot of fixing issues and adjusting settings, I'm simply not skilled in these things.

Please help, i'd like to play, maybe even support the game, but I feel atm, i'm shot down in flames before I've even got off the ground!

thanks in advance
