Cannot finish tutorial
« on: January 09, 2009, 12:57:45 am »
Hi,

The tutorial is working fine just till the final NPC Xargon Guurn. I did give him the iron, the certificate and the Air glyph. But after 'Greetings, stranger, and welcome to the city of Hydlaa. Lovely weather we're having, aye?' i replied with something like 'Hi, i am XXXX', and after that the NPC was asking the 3 things again.
I allready give them to him and i do not have them anymore. I tried to replay the old quests, but that seems to be not posible, so i'm stuck.

Is there a way to go around this ? Can i reset my character ? Or do i have to create a new character ....

Regards,
Ferdinand

Hi. We would need to know your character name first. If you are not comfortable giving it here, GMs can be contacted via the Petitioning system, and help channel in game, or via IRC in #planeshift-gmtalk on the freenode network. You could PM one of us also, but this will get a slower response.

Have you tried saying "yes" or "no" to Xargon at that point?

Did you know there is a Tutorial Walk Through?

Have you logged out (or crashed) during the tutorial before this problem occurred?

since 0.3.019 Crystal Blue || Sometimes a ragequit is the right decision.

Only problem I am having is as soon as I finish tutorial, it will not let me enter the normal game.  I have tried every suggestion I have found, including uninstalling the game and re-installing and running the upfater and patches, and still can only do the tutorial and then it says that something happened and closes game.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

But as stated, the problem comes after finishing tutorial.  Have tried every fix suggested on boards...adjusting graphics, running and re-running updater, editing lines in the config and game file areas, uninstalling and re-installing game...even going so far as to use different classes and races thinking it might be a glitch in that area, but all to no avail

please dont double post and find out your graphics card as that will tell a lot about your issue. also integrated graphics cards dont do too well with this game.

From the looks of it...it is an integrated NVidia GeForce 7050, with 128 mb memory
At least that is what the specs show it to be

First, Caarrie knows MUCH more than me about these things.  BUT... if you are loading fine, talking fine, but not moving on in the quest I do not see how it would be a graphics card issue.  Keep working with her, she may have another issue I do not see though.

In the meantime.  Go to your chatlogs, see what he said EXACTLY and think for a moment what your response should be.  Consider what previous NPCs may have told you.  In the time you post here and wait for a reply, you could of re-read your chat logs and maybe found the problem.  If Baughb sends you to me and tells you "tell Bamko that Baughb sent you" and you come up to me and say "Hi, I am Douhg, give me gold PLZ" I may likely ignore you.  But if you say "Baughb sent me" that would be something else entirely.  Also, I encourage RP with other players, but save the chit chat for players.  Nothing breaks a quest faster than a bunch of extra verbage.  When you go to pay with a credit card, and they ask "credit or debit" do you ever say "BANANA!" ?  Same thing.  They have done a great job on not advancing to a permament broken state on most quests until they get AN acceptable answer, but not all of them may be perfect, and there are acceptable answers that would take you where you do not want to go.  (For example again, if y ou said "debit" in the answer above, you better remember your debit pin number... )

So far every quest that I have found broken has been fixed, so I think it is unlikely it is broken.  read the chat logs!  If still can not get out, check out the tutorial.  If you can not get out (and hundrends of thousands before you could... think about that) then you can poke a GM.  This is my advice to you and others having this issue.  >o)

have you checked to make sure you have the most updated graphics card drivers?
