Well this is a quiet thread...

Graphical Issues & Glitches.
There, I said it. I [hate] that every time I go out in the wilds, I walk over broken-obsidian polygonal SHARDS just because I happen to have an Intel graphics card. That gets old very fast, and makes the long hikes between Oja / Hydlaa / BD even more odious for the lack of good scenery.

...none too fond of the leveling/PP mechanics either, but that's been discussed to death, I think.

Though sometimes what seems to be not a popular comment with some dev's "elder" players..but..I agree..the graphics..it seems to be that issue amoung others..that has driven some players/would be players..away from our growing world...making it seem the idea of the dev's/setting team or whoever makes the decision would be to make our world more "pretty" instead of more "playable"...instead of working so hard on adding beauty to the world..why not solve the bugs..and unimplimented items first?...just an option :)

The art team that is responsible for making all the pretties isn't the same as the coding team that is responsible for the code and fixing of bugs and stuffs.  So if we had the art team just stop making pretties while waiting on coding bugs to be fixed, the art team would get bored.  And a bored art team is bad.  Soooo, they both work on projects and things and things get added and fixed when they do.  :)

Yeah, pretty much.
As for things that don't work or are 'least favorite' - I think it should be pretty well understood at this point (as often as it's been said already) that PS is still a work in progress, things are always being updated, fixed, added, and made better. Until we hit 1.0, detracting comments always have that unspoken caveat of 'until it's fixed/improved.' I don't expect the Intel issues will continue through to the final version.

aspect? you're going to have to be more specific than that, like IC or OOC....

Game design or mechanics....?

Liadan,

You may write an answer to all the above mentioned questions, game design, mechanics, about the character creation, etc. I am just interested in what people think as long as they stay on topic.

The progression system, it's still based too much on grinding for my tastes.

What I like the least? That's simple for me, I really hate it when I run out of trais and have to earn some. I tried different ways to earn some trias, but no possibility pleases me. Most methods are uncommunicative and boring. And I know that this will change in the future (at least I hope ;)), but at the moment it's the part of PS that I like the least

Crashing.  >:( (Not blaming anyone though. I am being patient, one day my dreams of not crashing will come true.)
   I've been outside, it's overrated and the graphics suck!

I absolutely HATE not having a fair amount of trees. What, have none that devolop PlaneShift ever seen a forest? Are they incapable of it? I basically live in a humongous forest, and I REALLY want to see some woods that you can actually go into. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWRRRRRR.

The things I don't like are:
The pvp system
The leveling system
The amount of people that actually roleplay (I don't care whether your bad at it because you can get better, I just want more people)

The rest of it when it comes to glitches, graphics, beta, etc I really don't mind to tell the truth. For me if those 3 things changed this game would be much more intresting to me  :P

Hmm, I'd have to say the often seemingly slow progression of the game. There are so many things I can't wait to see implemented and at times it at least feels like it's moving ahead at a snail's pace.

Not pointing fingers, or being impatient (doubt someone without patience would hang around for as long as I have :P) or even hinting that all the people working on PS aren't already giving 110% but, if there was one thing I could magically change, it wouldn't be the bugs (since those should disappear with development) but, just the rate that PS adds new things... though definitely not at the cost of quality. :)
