More tutorial fun!
« on: October 24, 2007, 04:32:36 pm »
First of all, yes, the tutorial walkthrough works fine.  If you don't know what to say/do, use the walkthrough.  Easy.
Sometimes I wish there were more trigger words, but then that takes all the fun out of it.

Making my way through the tutorial (walkthrough in hand), I came upon Xargon.  I gave him the three items, and he asked for yet another air glyph!  How greedy is that punk?!

Anywho, I filed a ticket, but if there is some fix (as the 'skip this step') or other people that have the greedy Xargon, this is the post for you!

There -are- other trigger words for many of the tutorial steps, the walkthrough just shows you one of the responses that will move you along. Xargon should only require one glyph. A common problem seems to be that players are giving him the items before he finishes speaking to request the next one. Perhaps that happened to you, and your logs will show that you are ready to go to the next step.

That happened to me, that he made the request for the last item after he had proceeded with the next step in his dialog. I just ignored his request for the last item and responded with the answer to his next step.

(00:49:21) Xargon Guurn says: Ah, welcome to you, and what a lovely pile of dust! Handcrafted with care!
(00:49:23) -Xargon chuckles.-
(00:49:26) Xargon Guurn says:  And perhaps you have a combat certificate to give me too? Hand it over, please.
(00:49:29) Xargon Guurn says: Ah, and there it is.
(00:49:34) -Xargon reads the certificate carefully and nods. He smiles and looks around for a moment and then carefully scratches his wing with his axe.-
(00:49:35) Xargon Guurn says: Very good, yes. That is the last item. Now I may proceed in giving you your last few lessons! They are a bit long, but they are important, so make yourself comfortable and please pay close attention. Now, I am going to instruct you on what makes PlaneShift different from many other online games. Are you ready?
(00:49:44) Xargon Guurn says:  Seems as though Sir Ibhaar approved of your ability to defend yourself, good. I do like this part of my job: it gets rather boring standing around here all day. It is nice to meet someone new! Let's see... I believe your magic instructor will have given you an Air glyph, yes. Please give that to me.

(00:50:23) Gerorey says: yes
(00:50:25) Xargon Guurn says: PlaneShift is a game meant for in-character interactions, and no matter what happens, whether bugs or wipes, your character's personality and relationships to other characters cannot be erased - they will only grow.

As you can see he recovered and I got through ok.

That sounds exactly like it Bilbous.  I'll try it later when I get to gaming time; thanks for the advice.
In any case, I spent the time not knowing what to do seeing how long it took to tire my character out by running.  Man, I wish I had his jogging ability.
