how bout THE GAME!
« on: August 02, 2003, 11:21:30 am »
u know what id like to see? a stable and nice looking game! Now dont get me wrong, this IS a beta and it IS free so i dont expect anything from the devs but ppl r asking for monsters and new items and whatnot, but ure all rushing. Ive made a small (yet big) list of the MENDATORY things that need to be done that i noticed within the first five minutes playing this game.

1. Right now it seems PS loads every texture in the whole game in ure memory, maybe a memory leak or 2 to be fixed too.
2. The damn chatbox isnt even done properly, text is cut off down the bottem and up the top.
3. The password is uncovered and free for everyone to see, how bout some **** to cover it up at login. And have it NOT saved to your computer.
4. Currency system properly up and running.
5. Trade system, basic fighting system implemented.
6. Mouselook. *MUST HAVE*

Now ive been reading alot of post over the last few days and a havent seen any dev\'s reply here at all, so i\'d like some feedback ESPECIALLY from the dev\'s to us.
Thank you.

then if this has been posted so many times y r ppl still creating threads on things that shouldnt even be thort about for atleast 6 months? (which is about the time i think it will take this game to get to a enjoyable level) Had i known this topic had been placed and discussed before i probly would not have post this thread but i did because if the devs started making whats in the thread list right now the game would be all over the place.

Drag the lower right corner to resize the chatbox, check Moogie\'s thread in disscussion for trading, and be patient.  The devs are hard @ work.

Edit:And oh yeah, does tech demo mean anything to you? Because it means \"Technology Demonstration\" to me.  (no newbie ever understands that  :( )

Nazeroth: the reason we are creating all these threads is because PS is a \"community\" effort. We are all assisting in the creation of this game. By submitting ideas and discussing them we aid the Dev\'s in the process of creating content for the game. That is in fact a large part of the draw of this game for many people. They get to assist in the creation of a world.

But this is the whole point to my thread, i mean dont get me wrong ure all posting great ideas but arnt we getting a bit ahead of our selves? I see this alot in Beta MMORPGS, the Dev\'s just get ahead of them selves and start on some projects and leave other more important ones behind for later fixing, and that just creates a chaos of bugs trust me. Some of the problems ive listed that should be done can be done in less than 20 minutes, and if i were the dev\'s id fix that memory problem FIRST.

I already said that those willl come with the next version most likely - look at atomic blue and molecular blue and there are a world of changes - just wait and rant to the devs themselves on the IRC channel in the meantime :)

most people would rather have one big download than lots of little ones - and it\'s more dramatic :P

The thing is nazeroth: everything you mentioned has been covered multiple times in threads and in the bug submittal  and feature request systems on Sourceforge. The dev\'s are indeed working on repairing bugs and adding UI enhancements. Some of which are fixed now and some of which will be implemented in the next release.
