Anything CB Related (FAQ) & Discussion:

[Moogie]

Not in CB, but the idea has been discussed several times between the devs, so we\'ll have to wait and see if they come up with anything.

hmmm I just read something on another thread... and it\'s scaring me :

Q : how many level there are in CB ?
A : there\'s no level in CB

Q : so what\'s the difference between old and new players ? I know Moogie said we cant see the difference but IS THERE a difference ?
A :

[Shadowfalcon]

without levels, how will we increase strength and dexterity and mana and the like?

[Altharion]

if i remember correctly then there was no overall level system nor a general level system but there will be a system for experience.

[Moogie]

Yes... I\'ll try and explain very briefly the progression system in CB.

Basically, you gain experience points from various things, usually by performing a skill successfully. Gaining EXP will give you Progression Points. You spend these points by going to an NPC who will train you in a particular skill.

There\'s alot more to it than this, but that\'s basically how you make \'the difference\', i.e. gaining skills and strength. There\'s no way to know if someone is far stronger than you- except, perhaps, the equipment they weild.

[fken]

and with these xp points is there a way to increase the intelligence, Will, strength, agility and charism of the begin of the game ?

In fact you are telling us there\'s nothing different than the others mmorpg except the lvl which dont exist... isn\'t it ?

CB is nothing but a hack&slash demo. It\'s still the very early alpha stage of PS. You can\'t expect a fully developed character customization just yet.

Is it a way to learn skill after char creation ?
for example :
I choose healer as job but I wanna mine. Could I see a npc that could teach me how to mine ? or are we forced to do the good choice when it\'s char creation time ?

[Androgos]

1. Please drop ANYTHING you know about the charcreation in MB, the CB\'s is completly diffrent. No need to set your character\'s job, since you can\'t. Do whatever you want

2. CB will be 0.3(00x) where X is probably 3 or something, anyway, CB is the first alpha of PS, ALPHA which will provide the basic functionality of a MMORPG, not so many unique things. For next release the code is there for alot of stuff, we just need to figure out how to implement it. If it\'s going to be some unique stuff, probably Post-CB is the earliest date

You can learn to mine at any point you wish. In char creation, just choose what best suits your char\'s background, and when those things are implimented into the game, you\'ll already have some skill in them.

This has been asked several times, but never been answered....

is there armor at cb, and if is, do they show. Can you see them on your char??

[Adeli]

As far as I knew, it was answered each time someone felt the need to ask it. But I\'ll let you wait for your reply.
Forgive me if this has been asked, but I have not seen it.
I understand that many things will increase your strength, but I can\'t think of something that will increase your maximum HP.
Is there any way to gain more health after creation?

I ask because usually it\'s the levels that increase maximum health in a RPG.

[Androgos]

Well, enduarance is probably the biggest stat factor since it\'s the wellbeing of the character and how long you can suffer before dieing.

Later stuff like weather, cloths that keep you warm and happy, mental happines, physical state etc will play a role in those calculations too

Q : ok. and I hope we could change our background after... is it possible ?

I\'m not english but I don\'t think androgos answer you...

A : I\'m not a testor but I don\'t think there is a way to see someone is wearing a clothe because of the moogie\'s screenshots... they have weapons but dont have any armour...

In fact, I even dont know if there is an armour system ...

If there isnt a armor system, how can you make your character be for example a palladin? strong armor, healing magic and so on....or how to make a tank mage? If there isn\'t an armor system yet, i hope it will at least come to later releases....
