It sometimes happens to me, but I can fix it by adjusting brightness (F11/F12 at least on my Ubuntu system). Hope it's as easy as that.

Arrows are too heavy.

My poor Nolthrir arrived at Hydlaa with only 40 strength and found she was hardly able to carry enough arrows to train ranged properly... You'd probably expect a strong Kran or Stonehammer to wield an axe or a broadsword and the rather weak ones to choose a bow and arrows over a heavy weapon... generally speaking. I didn't plan to train her strength much, she's supposed to be a light, agile, persevering huntress, but I eventually shall have to if I want her to be able to carry her loot in addition to potions and arrows.

Sorry to complain... I still love this game  and I'm grateful to all dev's and volunteers for bringing PS this far.

It's nice to see the dev's care about the players' opinions  You're welcome Eonwind. I think this game is unique in RP and probably also in crafting complexity (though I haven't played enough games to be sure about that) which is something I personally like. I already care about it and will do what I can to help.

Thanks for the advice: I'll try to find someone willing to hunt down some riverlings for me.

One thing I noticed in baking: I'm able to make q300 sand cookies now (not something I'm proud of, mind) but in order to make Trias out of it I can't buy training everytime I rank up. I think that's a pity (even though I'll admit you have to balance money vs XP in most games I encountered). I'd like to see my char (it's Ylyana, btw) advance to higher lvls even as she gains Trias.

Hi all

As a new player with a new char I'm probably best placed to decide if this game is too hard for newbies. But I already got lots of advice from other players so my first advice to newbies is: Talk to as many people as you can. The community - at least those whom I encountered - is generally nice and helpful to new players and will involve you in RP as well which actually is fun!

After playing only a few days I can say I enjoy the game and don't mind the grinding - up until now. I've taken up baking and will take up herbalism to get a nice stock on Trias and PP's before starting off hunting - I've realized that killing rats gives very few of both, not enough to pay for training. What I can't imagine is how you get to develop a hunter-only char without massive help from oldies?? That should be possible for those who want it. I'll keep you posted on any problems I'll encounter as I advance through the game.

Thanks to all the nice people I've met and still are to meet.

PS: Sorry, I've put in my real name as I registered for the forum instead of a fantasy one and know there's no way of changing it - hope it isn't a problem.
