Account system: Default values

Post by Estralis Seborian »

Upon creating a new character, the preset default values for size and weight are set to the minimum values. This might result in newbies creating tiny characters and lots of work for the devs to edit the values manually in the database.

I suggest to place the slide bars to an intermediate value (e.g. a size of 160cm for a human) as default value.

actually

if we know the less patient new players (i really hat ethe term noob) will have tiny characters then it may help us identify them quickly and help them to learn the game system

sadly it may also cause others to quickly avoid such chars that meet those profiles as not everybody is willing to take a break from their schedule to have some friendly chat

Not to be rude or anything, but that argument is totally pointless.

Some noobs will generally ask for help anyway. If not, then they generally know what to do, or have no clue and will be inturrupted by some one.

Best. Proposal. Ever.

I totally agree with this. Tiny noobs are cute and all but meh.

But the one thing this raises my questions about. How dedicated can these noobs be if they DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR CHARACTER CREATION PROCESS.

Let The Returner script an interactive mini-game in which you have to dodge building shadows (make it a frogger spin-off and damn b*tch I hope you don't have any bugs in it).

Once you hit Level 10 you are allowed to assign values to your first characters.

THAT'D BE AWESOME. BEST. PROPOSAL. EVER.
