[FluffNStuff]

Awesome Job. Seems odd on a main computer, is it iDevice optimized? If so, that is really cool.

[MoarPewPew]

Sweet guide!!! post screen shots on it for a visual. It would be perfect if you did that.

I love the layout of it on the iPod.

[ONANEBEZ]

Good job. Will be helpful to many new players!

[DanielRH]

Yea sry, forgot to say...
The guide is currently for mobile, iPhone iPod iPad and Android...
Working on a computer version now

[DanielRH]

Moar - I'm adding visuals in the next guide update, wanted the content first...
Ona - Hopefully this will help many new people :)

In the next update I hope to include:
Visuals (images in content to better explain)
Quests - Detailed descriptions and instructions on every quest and where to find.
Maps - Details on every level in every map including level map (image outline of map) and how to beat, how many bad guys etc... (this might have to wait for the next update after version 2)

[addiekai]

Very nicely done.

I'm sure this will be a lot of help :)

Quick suggestion though, you might wanna go into further detail with the Dual Class, since there are available guides here in the forums.

Overall, kudos! :)

[DanielRH]

Thanks :)

This version does not have ALL the details yet, gonna add in as I write, also, if anyone else would like to contribute, all help is welcome :)
Just choose a section and message me what you wrote and ill add it in :)

[DanielRH]

Yea, I really hope this helps ppl, would have LOVED to use this when I first started out...

[addiekai]

I gots an idea!

You can incorporate the items list in the trade section, as a compendium to your guide :)

[Wyvern]

If you need a spellchecker or a grammar checker look no further

[DanielRH]

You mean the item lists in the forum?

Yea I could... But I would have to ask the person who made it for permission to use it.

[DanielRH]

Wyvern, that would be AWESOME!!!
Just go through and u can message me the updates you made, or email me it at daniel9harris@gmail.com :)

Thanks so much :)

[DanielRH]

Hope this helps ppl :)

[Arterra]

GREAT work here! perfect mobile environment, short and to the point.
little notes of mine:
-you should maybe list the hybrid names, make them official. lets see... BowBear/DexBear, int-bear, Warbird/Ranger/str-bird, int-bird, pally/str-mage, Dexchantress/Dex-Mage.
-a note for dual classes menu name: maybe just outright change to hybridization to have a short, separate explanation of dual-wielding later on and not confuse people.
-sooner or later small explanations of skills being incorporated would be good.
-careful with how the different leveling guides are separated.
-a few screenshots here and there work wonders.

if you need screenshots of certain things, not too hard ones, i got retina-quality capability.

[Arterra]

Yea, thanks for the input, I'll ask Yanise and stick them in the next version :)

you could actually just include links to the pages themselves in mobile version.

[DanielRH]

Thanks for the input!!! :)))

Basicly all the points you mentioned above are going to be added in the next week :)

I'm ok with the photos, by if you would like to help add-on to a section, that would be greatly appreciated! :)

[DanielRH]

Currently biggest combo compendium, though not entirely complete as there is some confusion with the terror combo with Mage+birds, also might be one or two I missed. Also should compile the various 'special hits' like execute, bleed(I think) etc- the ones that don't go up as a combo, but do additional damage/debuff action.


I don't know much about the special hits sorry :(. There are definitely people who can help with that though.

[Xymorg]

Looks great!

Suggested content:

Friends:
Friending is the equivalent of a "Would buy again!" rating on another player. Being friends enables you to see when they are on line, invite them to join you, and message them where ever they are.

You can offer friend requests by hitting the Add Friend button while viewing the other player's Avatar page (tap them in a towne or hit their name from the player list in the upper left corner in a dungeon).

You can accept friend requests from the Requests screen of the friends dialog ( it's the second button on the Friends page).

As with many systems like this, observing etiquette makes it work better. This means only sending Requests once and not spamming invites to your existing friends. They are seeing your invite even though you can't tell that the invite button did anything from the page where you hit it. Removing friends and ignoring other players is just as easy as adding them.

Players will generally accept friends and then dump the annoying ones as they become problems, so don't take that friend acceptance as a green light to go chat crazy or beg for free stuff.

[jonboy]

Still can't load the page even with the direct link, will check when get home.

[Gaabob]

Also it might be a good idea to organize the long list of topics(like alphabetical or something), and maybe put 'leveling' under one category or in order at the very bottom. It looks awesome though :)

[Arterra]

if we are into suggestions, you can either use the sticky screenshot guide, or the one in my "Courteous" link in sig.

[Gaabob]

It's perfectly reasonable to limit the amount of XP you get when facing mobs of a lower level -- most RPG games do this. If you're level 30, you won't get XP for fighting a level 1 mob, or a level 10 mob, or a level 20 mob. So, with that said, we chose 3 as the level difference limit. You don't get XP for mobs more than 3 levels below you (in fact, if 1 level below, you get 75%, 2 levels below, 50%, and 3 levels below, 25%). Now the game certainly doesn't say anywhere that you don't get XP for mobs more than 3 levels below you, but that will be addressed soon. The next client update introduces con colors next to the mob's health bar, so you'll be able to tell immediately if the mob you're about to fight is an easy kill or death on sight.

It's perfectly reasonable for campaigns to have mobs that are a specific level range. This is clearly stated in the campaign description. Forest Haven is for levels 1-10, Dark Forest is for levels 10-15, Balefort Castle is for levels 15-20, Fathom Crypts is for levels 20-25, and Lost Expedition is for levels 25-30. Since you don't get XP for mobs more than 3 levels below you, if you only play in Forest Haven, you're only going to get up to level 10 mobs. Once you hit level 13, you're no longer facing a mob that can give you XP.


But understand that when we add features to the game, they will more than likely only be available in specific areas of the world. For example (not set in stone):


O.0 Only 2.33 left! And they added CS too- keep it up devs!
* Bank/Stash/Mailbox - Forest Haven
* Quests - In all campaign townes
* Vendors - In all campaign townes
* Player Housing - Balefort Castle
* PvP - Fathom Crypts
* Pet Shop - Dark Forest

(From asommers) thought you might find some stuff from the first paragraph that might be useful.

[Necrobane]

Player housing seems a bit much, I reckon a guild house would be awsome.

[Gaabob]

An explanation of /commands:

Commands are basically things you can do directly from your chat bar. You can /tell a person (this is like a private message) something. You can /boot a person (if you are the creator of an instance/game- you can boot someone. Especially useful for pvp when you can't boot someone on the other team because you can't click on them). You can /reply to something someone said (replying to a private message). You can /report someone (instead of clicking on them then doing report). You can /respec (be careful with this one lol- it does the obvious.. respecs you. And respecs are not undoable). You can /team message (this sends a message to only your team in pvp).

To use these in chat you type:

/tell billy hello

This then sends billy(a players character name) the private message 'hello'.


/reply hi there

Billy now /responds to your "hello" with hi there. Note- you don't need to type in the name of the person you are replying to.

/boot billy

If you are the creator of an instance billy is now booted.

/report billy

You just reported billy for being a naughty boy and spamming in world chat (jk).

/respec

You just used up your last respec (oops!). And have to remember how many points to put into all those skills!

/team Guys lets all triple team billy!

(PVP) You just told your team in pvp to gang up on poor billy!! P.S. try not to do this- ganging up in not nice, and defies the unwritten code of good pvpers.


For /tell, /reply, and /boot(I think) you can abbreviate the /command. This is very helpful, and much recommended for an easier gaming experience.

/tell ----> /t
/reply --> /r
/boot --> /b



To see the list of /commands ingame just type ONE / (if you type anything except a /command pretty sure this still works). This comes up as:

boot target_name reason
reply message
report target_name
respec
tell who message
team message


The first word being the /command, then fill in other wordspots with information like:

tell who message
=
/tell (or /t) billy hello

tell(/tell or /t) who(billy) message(hello)

target_name basically means 'who'

[DanielRH]

Thanks guys!!!
Gaabob - Amazing work and suggestions! I'll add it to the next version, just one thing... Please email me (email on about page in guide) or message what you wrote to me on here, don't wanna clutter things up :)

200 Views!

Keep spreading the word!
The more people who know about it, the more people it will help! :)

[Lesrider]

I just noticed the team message thing. Why is there a team message, if you can just talk out loud during a game and all will see it? How is team message any different?

[DanielRH]

Team messaging is only enabled in pvp or ctf map, it is to allow you to talk to ONLY your team, so you can devise a strategy or something...

[Lesrider]

Doh! Lol Pvp didn't even occur to me. Thanks Daniel!

[thugimmortal]

Well done the guide is exellent

thanks for the free item yesterday im guessing you have another player that you use apart from freeitem can you add me with your proper player too

[Gaabob]

Doh! Lol Pvp didn't even occur to me. Thanks Daniel!

Lol I put a lot of emphasis on the PVP part of that..

[Lesrider]

Lol I put a lot of emphasis on the PVP part of that..

Lol true, I was skimming and overlooked that bit.

[DanielRH]

Lol, gaabob, added some more of ur stuff to guide :)
Thanks for the help :)

[Gaabob]

Couple things:

Should update about
Rather than have Pre-leveling(or whatever) have a leveling information section with such stuff as the asommers quote.
Also the pre-leveling section is a link to support info.. Kinda weird reroute needed?

More...

The original website should automatically reroute to the new place when you go there

[DanielRH]

Yea sorry guys, transfer is going a little rough, working out the kinks now.
Thanks for the input :)

[DanielRH]

Ok!
Things should be running smoothly again :)
I'd you find any more bugs/errors, please use the contact link on the about page.

Thanks guys :)
