the game looks interesting enough but i think i'm stopping playing planeshift alltoghether and wait a few months , this is no fun anymore !
i think what bothers me most is :
game is too dark , music is something wrong with ( these two things might be my pc i know ), there are no maps (if you're lost you're lost final) , and most of all , talking to npc is much too difficult, i'm fed up with hearing i don't understand you , it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes ; my last quest i had to bring a mug of some drink from one npc to another and when i found the npc i gave her the drink , she accepted but no matter what i said after i couldn't end the quest and i lost the drink , going back to the first npc was also no help ,he wouldn't give me another drink to bring to her and... i couldn't delete the quest
now i'm dead and i've been looking for hours now to get outta this place , when i finally met an npc he jumped off someplace and when following him i'm dead again whilst i was dead already (lol)
to end this thing , that was the final straw , as i said i'll wait till this game is out of beta and then i'll try again someday 

obviously i'm a newbie so here goes :
every time i want to select a skill to upgrade i have to guess if it'll work or not , i mean i cannot find anywhere what a particular skill will cost me , sometimes i have enough money it seems , other times i can click on it endlessly and nothing happens , so am i missing something or is the cost of a skill just not shown , i can't figure it out
thxs in advance for help !

for me the game was also too dark , seems like this is the only game where i have this problem , now every time i play planeshift i have to auto - adjust my monitor lightning and then it's almost ok to play without it being too dark

so that means no -relight ?

this doesn't seem to work , i get a message i cannot do this

theres a walktrough on the tutorial , i used it to get past the last npc , not sure where to find it again though , but if you look around on the forum you'll find it too somewhere , good luck !

i have the same problem , everything else works just fine except with planeshift i get a disturbed music sound , pretty annoying , i put out the sound when playing planeshift
