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.
Trees, that is like really long grass isn't it? :) Look how well most people liked that.

The grass is only slow because it's rendered in real time when you walk around. Meshes and textures are preloaded. A forest surely wouldn't be rendered like grass.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

apart from the things already mentioned like the leveling system, I hate how it takes so much of my time :). I need to do homework and by then its already sucked up a couple hours. that's probably mostly my fault, so another thing i don't like is how people teach RP. I've made a character and acted like I don't know how to RP and so far the answers were less then satisfactory. I know that you cannot really teach people to RP, but you can help them start off by coming up with a story with them, or at least telling the person to come up with a backround for their character.

What I like least:  Boring monsters and NPCs.  By which I mean they mostly spawn in one place, don't move or undertake actions on their own, or act with any variation or intelligence.  Some don't move at all.

A close second is how everything is about money.  This is a modern real-world way of thinking and organizing things.  It makes little sense in a Medieval-like world.  The main issue here is the way you need to make money to progress in any endeavor.  Rather than doing something for a trainer directly you instead have to spend hours in the arena "sword mining" to make enough tria to train.

One way to fix this might be to update the quest system so that it is possible to get training in a specific skill as a reward.

The progression system. Why do the trainers need to know how many damn rats and trepors you've killed just to teach you how to craft?

Oh, and n00bs  :)

I see those 3 'help newbie' threads have been extra productive  ;D

I think either graphics or roleplaying. I like seeing the grass, but it is soooo slow, and hopefully this can be fixed someday.

 For the roleplaying: Maybe you could make a weird new window where people that want to roleplay can sign up their names, like a group kind of thing. Whenever I feel like doing something, I can't find anyone doing an rp, and if I do, it's just Anarkia and Skreit in the inn room I 'rented' at Kada-Els. I'm still unsure what they were doing, but I got screenshots.  ::|

don't hate on us noobs...you have to give us some credit for jumping into the deep-end when all we can do is doggie-paddle...


what aspect? Probably the difficult in getting started with a new character. Unless you remember were all the 'good' quests are, you're stuck wallowing in filth until you get a half-decent combat skill (level 3+) so you can go pick on something bigger and better.

The forums.  Too many whiney people on it.  Which is why I stick to the IRC channel.

The impatience.

The fix it now attitude.

The self importance.

The lack of support many ps players display outside of planeshift.

The hours.

The ingratitude.

The adult consumers of the game capable but unwilling to contribute.

Asshats.

The fact that I get cursed at by players from time to time.

People who do not use the bug tracker.

People who use ps to further external agendas.

Lack of engagement with settings.

The leet attitude toward new players in game.

People who will not read.

Having to pick one least favorite aspect.

I also say the forums. There is a lack of patience, maturity and foremost respect since Karyuu left and now it's a somewhat inhospital place.

Xillix,

I am the first to admit that I know nothing of what you do but I am the first to say I appreciate all you do.

Leama is sad I started this thread. I thought it would be beneficial to you. Sorry .
