exhaustion

[AJatom]

For the HUGEness of the foothills of PS are....why does the physical meter go down when you are walking?

it seems that I spend most of my time waiting for the bar to recharge than actually going somewhere.

Is there going to be something done about this? like a format like the following


Recharge rates
sitting>standing>walking(0 recharge but no negative recharge)

and negative recharge for the running.

yes I know about the realism factor but do you ever get "exhausted" while walking in real life?

[Rigwyn]

You can control this by training certain stats and by keeping your inventory light. (weight)
Get this right and you'll have no problem running from town to town with little to no rest.

Hope this helps.

PS - and yes - look at the the "wipe y/n" thread. There is a hint there that the stamina issue may change.

May i sugest something to the devs about this.

How about when you are new to PlaneShift and you want to get use to everything by exploring and/or killing beasts. Well for example you get a 2 week trial on PS and in that 2 weeks you have maxed stats to find your way (or enough to explore) and have other skills higher to know what proffesions you might be interested in. But that will only be for 2 weeks or so. Also since its a trial somehow the player might not have a stable account so if they dont come on after there trial there account gets deleted to save space on Laanx and EZPC. (more thinking needed though!!)

it came to my mind because i once played a free game that had it and it really did work!

No.

Why?

One reason.

I cry "Abuse!"

[Vakachehk]

Well why not? It will help noobs to know more. If more thought goes into it, i think
it could work very successful, or you could do another copy of WoW and have a vally of trials...

Not one game but lots.

Abuse what the...?

[verden]

I think you are right: more thought needs to go into this.

[Sarva]

Ah recovery form exhaustion is much faster now, especially if you sit down so this shouldn't be as big of an issue now.

[Vakachehk]

Ohh i did not know that! Have'nt played the new release properly.

Well the whole idea of this is so that a new player doesnt have to waste an older players time finding where to go. Also some way of making newbies not get lost in DR so easily.

[Sarras Volcae]

vakachek, never being a newbie defeats the purpose of playing a game. it's about leveling up and exploring in a virtual world. y on earth would anyone want to play a game if they achieve nothing? noobs wouldnt know how to get out of the dr with just skills anyway. it requires having a brain.

and wat do u mean by wow's valley of trials? u do realize ur supposed to pay to play i hope.

[Vakachehk]

Im not saying they have it forever it doesnt have to be 2 weeks possibly just the first day...

Have you ever played WoW? As a Hord? In durotar the newbies start in an area (like the tutorial) and do quests to understand how to play and there is easy mobs to kill.  But that area is called The Valley of Trials and a noob could just walk out of that place but would die 2 minutes later.
And yes i do pay well no my brother bort me my last payment. And is that any of your buisness?

Yes PS is free but it still should be a good and easier game to play. Or it will become dead like its begining to. Because everyone is saying its free blah blah blah so everyone else is going ok then ill pay for WoW instead of being like ohh PS is so good to me i think ill give them a donation. I know a player who can play PS but isnt playing much anymore.

PS needs to realises they are in competition with MMOs like WoW. Yes our devs are volinteers and working hard after work and good on them!

Its also an idea for the future doesnt have to be in NOW.

oh ya i knew that sounded familiar. when i started i did a few quests there but got bored and ran off to explore. and i didn't die. probably because i'm awesome like that.

yes

what? i don't even

[EStripus]

hmm, noobs wasting an oldbies time by being shown around Yliakum.....

The veterans that showed me around and got me unlost (when I would try exploring on my own between towns) used my rest times as an opportunity to RP with me.  A LOT of my character development was done during rest periods and talking with my guide while in the wilds.  And  now I do same thing for newbies, RP with them while guiding them. It is a great way to build trust/friendships between characters, lead by example to RP answers to their questions, and being an all around polite player to newcomers.

[khoridor]

Well, the real unbalance is not exhaustion: it is that the only people who do need guides are the people who can't afford to pay one. 

So, don't worry about "wasting" the oldbies' time: many of them enjoy knowing something others don't. 

To me, the future of PS is not in removing exhaustion, but in providing alternate options to training endurance, so that not everybody needs to be a fast runner to move from one point to another. But it still has to be costly, one way or another, otherwise where would the challenge be?
