Complaint Department / Re: Combat training for Newbies

you're welcome Ylaine!  :)
thank you for your appreciation and for the critique as well, we (the devs team) know that mobs power level don't exactly scale as we would like, especially in the low to mid levels.
Me and Taya are working on it, but it's a big task and it will take time.

Thank you Eonwind. Good luck with the work to you and Taya and the entire Dev's Team - as I said before, you're doing a great Job and I love this game. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!

In the meantime, I will really be looking for hunting parties. Let's see if I can get Kashiha into one...

Ok, I tried to make the test and here's what I got.

My fenki got Ag 103, Cha 51 (iirc), End 42, Int 37, Str 71, Will 73; Knives and Daggers 3, LA 2, Sword 5 - these are the skills she's using - coming out of the tutorial.

I tried to kill several beasties, the toughest for her were Coamtis, which gave 1 PP each. Diseased Rats - for some unknown reason - gave 3-4 PP's each, she can kill those though they take away half of her HP's. Trias are still an issue since she couldn't find any buyer for her hides - yet (I hope it's yet). And the PP's she gets won't get her through LA, Sword and Knives and Daggers training, let alone any magic training.

I went for training stats first (with the little money I got selling animal parts to Allelia) and will then lvl one skill after the other since it seems impossible to train several combat skills at once that way.

Heya guys

Selling the animal parts and hides to players was a really good suggestion. I didn't even know diseased rat blood was used in potions. Thank you for that!  :thumbup:

I still think low-lvl-mobs should give more PP's though... But making hunting parties would be really nice. Hm, I'll try to RP someone into it...

I'd like to specify that I am not only speaking on behalf of myself, but also other newbies I've met ingame. All my chars got a job and do crafting of some sort (though some still have to find a way of actually making trias with their crafting). If I need animal parts of beasties I cannot hunt myself for a quest I ask some hunters for them in exchange of trias or a favour (like mining ores for them). I find this works pretty well and encourages RP.

Also I believe much has been updated and some oldies told me it's gotten harder to be a hunter only than it used to be. Also yes, magic training is very expensive.

But I will ask around ingame for mobs with good drops. Thank you all for your replies.

@Haraun Happy 7th PS-Birthday  :)

Hi all

I have been playing for about two months now and I am speaking as a Newbie and know it, so don't "noob" me, please.

First of all: I love this game. I write this in the complaint department because I don't know where else to put this post. The dev's are doing a great job and I'm not gonna start to moan.

Only thing is: I find it nearly impossible to create a "hunter only" char. When training, say, armour, one weapon type and two magic ways you just don't get the trias and Progression Points you need on rats and clackers. I tried questing as a remedy, but found I spent far more time questing than actually hunting. And what if a character isn't the adventuring type? Can't you at least let low-level-mobs give more PP's to newbies? That would help a lot! Planeshift is a great game, but it should allow a character to do what he/she/kra actually wants to do.

In order to not only complain: I find PS is bringing me back to being creative, writing like I haven't in years (just the occasional poem for myself, nothing to be published). And I encourage all newbies to try to find their way into RPing - trust me, it's great and most people are kind and helpful to those who are new to Yliakum.

So, thank you to the developers and GM's!

(And forgive my grammar and orthography mistakes, english isn't my main language.)

Hi

I'm pretty new to Yliakum and to RPing in general, though I enjoy it. I'm not an author but I like to make up characters in my mind, so some of them found their way into PS. I make my characters' background story up as I go along and RP with others, so I'd have to think a lot to get into a deep discussion about genders. I post this because I believe many newbies are in the same situation, and I'd like to know, do you have the patience and take the time to lead them into an RP like you'd like it to have? It takes some guidance to the likes of me, but it'd be interesting!
Hope this isn't considered to be off topic....

I value my privacy. It's a valuable good to have in times of internet and social media. I don't want anyone to keep records of my e-mails, visited sites and so on, though I am aware of the fact that exactly this is happening. Like others, since there isn't much I can do about it, I'm careful of what I say online. It shouldn't have to be that way.
I'm Swiss, and most of the people here share my opinion and can't understand how people can say stuff like "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" or "All this surveillance is a good thing, it increases security."
Privacy against security... does it really have to be that way?
