character pictures prevents dead accounts
« on: December 08, 2004, 08:01:55 pm »
this wish is for the planeshift website or the forum :

I think we could prevent a big number of dead account just by publishing the pictures of the player character availlable.

In fact in MB you just have a draw (fine the draw but not what we wanted to know) and after everybody think not he could go back at the first page when he see his character and moreover when you run you dont see the character with the same side.

So please if you are in my mind publish a picture of every sides we could see

Like the way it is done in NWN? Yes, that\'d be good.

Give him a break guys, he is from France and English is not his native tounge.  I would like to see you write so well in French.

However, looking into my gibberish to English dictionary ;) , I believe he meant something like as follows:

Dead accounts : a person downloads the game, chooses a character without knowing what said character looks like in-game,  doesn\'t like the way he looks, abandons account, starts over at step two.

He would like to see actual in-game pics of all of the chars from all angles or perhaps a 3D rotation.  So would I for that matter.

Also indepth information on each stat and what it does also helps prevent starting over.
It would be good to have a list somewhere of low leveled monsters and how much damage they do and the required stats for low leveled items so that you dont end up creating a character that is too weak.

I know he is from France but I still had no idea what he was trying to say and I was merely asking for clarification.  In regards to me writing so well in French, I would have to agree with you :D.

Anyway I would imagine that there would be some way to view your character and understand the implications of each choice before you create your character.  I would also imagine that there would be a way to reverse all these choices.

Yeah it\'s good idea.  I think Planeshift should borrow that concept from Korean hack/slash games where you log in by clicking your character.  By the way, the character in those games looks the way you left him ingame, meaning that he/she is wearing full gear and weapons.

You don\'t choose stats in CB. I think it\'s very likely that it will be left up to the community to create \'character creation guides\', because it\'s quite a hidden process and you don\'t really know what skills you\'ll have untill you get in the game.

That said, I have heard a rumour about a patch being made that will display all your stats and skills at the end of char creation, so we\'ll have to wait and see.

As long as it involves absolutely no randomisation, it\'s acceptable IMO.

The most annoying thing possible would be for you to choose your \"ways\" etc, and then get into the game and find out there not what you thought they were. As long as EVERYTHING is explained CLEARLY, i shall be happy. :D
