Hello, New player with some questions =D

[WishUWereHere]

My acct is WishUWereHere lvl 36 dex bird, just found out about this site. I have a pretty random list of questions i'm just going to shoot here ;)

what do the color of your name above your character mean? different places have different colors, want to know if it means anything..

on enemies health bar on the left side there is a dot, sometimes different colors, what does this mean? i believe it is the level of aggression towards your character but completely sure.

On McCroc's Stillfarm, after Billy Bob McCroc is killed, does he eventually respawn again or does the map need to be remade? is there a good way to make him spawn/appear fast? i like to farm for hooch hats.

are full dex birds good for PVP? also any skill changes from pve for pvp? i use phisiologics skill build and even skill map set up.

any good tips/secrets in general? =D

all i can think of for now. just introducing my self, if anyone wanna farm together or need leveling add my character wishuwerehere

1) Nothing. Just diff colors to contrast with the background well.

2) it means the threat level. Gray = 5+ levels lower, Blue = Lower level mob. White = Same level. Red = 3 levels higher. Yellow = 1 or 2 levels higher I believe. Partially guessing. They can effect the level loot you get and the threat of the mob. But that's a bit confusing to explain:)

3) His spawn is completely random. He can spawn again but it is more popularly remade. His spawn is fairly rare and completely random.

4) I recommend pure dex

5) Hmm, not much. Learn along the way:p

Welcome to the forums btw!

1)What she said, but only Developers get those uberrare special color names, red or yellow i believe.
2)To get best EXP ALWAYS LOOK FOR RED BUBBLES!
Yep. And For low level scaled drops seek white and below
3)Rare Spawn like Vyxnaar used to be.
4) Pure Dex ftw
5) Be pro squishy txt mage like whirly

Just basically be nice, give constructive feedback to the players, and the devs. Be helpful, not necessarily by giving away sums of gold and items, but just by being helpful to players, and the community in general. Don't troll, start flame wars, or try to scam or be innapropriate. We all have our times, and no ones perfect, but if you really wanna be a guardian, it's best to try and keep yourself from doing so.

Being on forums isn't a must, but it helps a lot. Devs go on forums and view lots and lots of posts, and you're much more noticed by them here.

It's really hard for me to explain, just try to help the community and the devs to the best of your capabilities. Be original and help the community in your own way. Here's a thread in case I didn't explain it well::)

A long list of most of the guides here (www.tinyurl.com/PLGuides)

Good Luck

[Fyrce]

Welcome and have fun with the guides you found. There're LOTS and tons of old posts.

Besides the guides, when you get time, I'd recommend checking out the progression of the game through the Announcements and Patches.
It's interesting to see what's been added and changed and how.

When you sign up, it asks if anyone referred you, if so you type in their forum name and click on it saying they referred you to the forums. If someone types in and selects your name, it acts as a referral, it's just saying how many people said you referred them to the forums.
