  1. Probably want to feed character before taking screen shots again. I know some players never bother with feeding but the negative shown is something which will turn some players off rather than understanding it is something you control.


  2. There are SOOO many items not profitable to mix in game because they are drops or because NPCs undercut you on sales I would have no idea how to,adjust it. We are in a Soviet economy were prices are attempted to be controlled by the state and it is done absolutely terribly.


  3. I liked the invasion even though I lost a rosto..

    As usual I got lulled in and went somewhere I shouldn't and would not have done so if some of the earlier battles were not risky but successful.

     

    Only complaint I can have not even one special in hundreds of kills but not your fault, is it?


  4. I got in late but had a lot of fun. Found some out of the way mobs in caves but it took me a long time to find any.

    Got 2 experience givers:

     

    All of these were from 2 experience givers:

     

    Great, you got 51221 overall exp

    You gained 20951 exp for Tailoring.
    Great, you got 20951 tailoring exp

    You gained 10751 exp for Manufacturing.
    Great, you got 10751 manufacturing exp

    Great, you got 36740 overall exp

    You gained 35657 exp for Crafting.
    Great, you got 35657 crafting exp

    You gained 91916 exp for Alchemy.

    By the way it ended poorly - I encountered known bug where when you diss, step on teleportal and go elsewhere encounter perpetual "You are under attack, you can't move.". Even logging out does not fix it and I needed to suicide to fix it.

  7. In MY opinion the tutorial should be changed especially because some of the steps are not marked/logged and with game and computers crashing you also logs. Many players get stuck and frustrated. The NPCs should recognize you have visited and completed step before (i.e. Kane and Arona would give different prompts to players who have completed their part of quest. Maybe achievements such has Tutorial I, Tutorial II, etc would help since they are not lost.

     

    The whole past thing IMO is wasted time. It does not factor into game except for explanation how magic works.

     

    The tutorial should not require any nexus; it is open nexus meaning characters should not have to take nexus and remove it if they do not want it. From what I remember you need to complete the Buni break armor quest, one of the worst quests in game since there are no reminders of what need to be broken by NPC, and that requires human nexus. Tutorial is not requiring fighter types to harvest Quartz, Emeralds, etc so why should harvest types have to break armor? Separate it out from tutorial. And frankly it is too long which violates your goal.

     

    I would think in a true tutorial for this game players would do at least one thing from each skill:

     

    Skills
    Alchemy - make a FE (included)
    Combat - kill a rat (included)
    Crafting - violates rule requiring nexus - thread IMO should be 0 nexus
    Engineering - make ashes (not included)
    Harvesting (included)
    Magic (included)
    Manufacturing (included)
    Potion (not remember if included) - easy enough to add potion of mana
    Ranging (not included) - very difficult since game disassociates kill from killer EXCEPT for Haidir (and Novac?) quest
    Summoning (not included) - very simple to add summoning of rats or rabbits
    Tailoring (not included) - add white fabric

     

    I also think a tutorial should handle the tricky thing of PK maps - players will kill weaker characters and it is part of the game hence should be part of the tutorial especially since there are required maps for Xaq quest with no passes (and no one would use a pass). Yes it may make players leave but players leave anyways if they get quest and lose items too many times on dailies they cannot pass (I know several players who got tired of getting killed for White Asiatic Lillies and quit.
