I just didn\'t quite get this:

1. Will be there a Crystal transfer program (from MB to CB)?
Because if there isn\'t one, what the hell are we doing in MB by picking up xtals? Just training? I\'ve been working to get the xtals and I would be disapointed if my work was in vain...
And this way the CB testers will have an advantage on the on the new CB players.

And if there isn\'t one, well... back to the Xtal hunting in CB :(


2. Will the Official Guilds be provided with a home in CB? If they will be by who will build them? (the players have to build them i.e. write scripts and build models and textures for the home, or by the Devs)?


3. How is the combat work?
I read in here that was \"You target, you press attack, you watch your char beat the other thing to death.\", \'coz I thought fighting will be like in FPS, like clicking in the mouse botton to attack or pressing in a key to attack, \'coz target a person/monster and then click a key to watch the char attacking... er... I would like to participate in the action if you know what I mean... for example the game Oni (if you know it) well it\'s an Anime type game, where we fight and use weapons, it\'s passed in the future... er... forget the future for a moment... well there when we fight with the hands we click the mouse bottons to make her attack.
Targeting (right click the person/monster) and then watch the char attacking... er... sorry but that\'s just stupid
I would like to attack things like a barril or a NPC or even a chair! things that are part of the cenary even if it doesn\'t effect nothing! Just to get anger off or something... I think you know what I mean with all this


Hope I\'m not bothering with this questions, but answer them... please!!!

Short Version: ppl cheated making it unfair for other ppl if they get to keep the money they got from it. no crystals in CB, CB testers will not have an advantage due to server wipe...

Long Version:
well, there aren\'t going to be crystals as money in CB however, if there is going to be able to keep your Crystals from MB then it\'s going to be converted to the new money system (tria.) they have been thinking of not transferring crystals because a while ago a particulate person cheated in a way that he could login as anyone & logged in as a Dev & spawned weapons & Crystals & became very very rich, there is measures to prevent this sort of logging in in CB however the person may have created other accounts & will transfer his crystals obtained by cheating & others have been exploiting bugs & mods to get crystals giving them an unfair advantage over the hard work of others. however imo, we should transfer crystals to CB because lots of ppl spent hours upon hours collecting them & it would be a shame to take all the hard work away....

ah thanks, but in CB I know taht the xtals aren\'t going to be used as money, but I read that xtals can be sold for trias.

As for the others answer them please!!!!

1) It is still unsure if Crystals will be converted (since there were some cases of massive cheating). A conversion is probably not needed (it will be fun to aquire the money you would get outerwise).

2) Not in the initial Release of CB (will probably be added later - dont ask for a time though)

3) Attack as it looks will be \"Click and Watch\" at least for a start (could be that this changes too in future - we dont know anyways and its far to early for the devs to be able to tell i think).

Please read the newspage and do some searches on the forum before you post such questions (because most of them have been answered AT LEAST once - if you dont find an answer then post your question). Thank you in advance.

Maybe I missed this but I did a search and didn\'t see anything regarding parties. Will all combat and training be player vs. monster with no parties, will there be the option of levelling in a party? I realize it isn\'t really \"levelling\" but still, grouping together to kill monsters to train skills etc.

Yes there is a capability to \"group\" characters and share experience... also there is a \"training\" system between two players, I see oft mentioned but don\'t know much about it.
Ninjas have feelings too.  Mostly they feel like dancing.

8) Well, what I meant is if you get a special sword my Char wouldn\'t use it because he will be focusing on ranged weapons & magic...

:] But anyway, time for some more questions:

1. Q: Will we be able to fly via spell or flying-animal in CB? (now, update, or later version of PS?)

2. Q: Will there be Ranged Weapons or Animal-Training in CB? (now, update, or later version of PS?)

Another question and forgive me if I missed it:

How will hate work? I\'ve come from FFXI so I\'m used to party play with monsters exacting a certain preference over combatants. Will the monster lock on one character and continue attacking until either are dead regardless of another ranged character doing more damage or healing character healing alot? Will there be skills to keep \"hate\" or the monsters attention?

Some monsters will be more aggressive towards magic users, and some might be very aggressive towards dwarves while they don\'t care about the Dermorians, and such. But to begin with, it\'s all about who is the biggest threat to the monster, as in who deals most damage, and who is closest to the moster, and so on. For example, why would the monster run after an archer, when there\'s a juicy, fat warrior just next to it? :)

Then again, if the archer is annoying enough, he\'ll be turned into mashed potatoes.


On a diffrent note, this thread is for questions and answers. If you don\'t have a question, don\'t post. If you don\'t know if you have the right answer, don\'t post.

Your character will keep fighting / standing still / doing whatever it was doing, for 30 seconds and then log off.

We already know that some people are allowed to play CB for testings but who will be allowed to play CB next time ?
How many group of CB player will be created like that ?
And finally why are the dev proceding like that ? If this problem is that there could be too many bug reports : just allow somebody to do report but if the problem is that you think there could be too many problems because of the number of player connected, just say that to us, please...
