Client 1.7.2 has been approved!

**Redbridge** · 05-19-2011, 04:12 PM

Looks like your completed quests are repeatable to get some XP if wanted.... Nope you can't. See below.

Testing now

Edit: yep 1XP for the initial quests in forest haven towne, that leads you to FH1. Quest is called swift and Hawken and the quest chain stops as quick as it starts. probably an error.

**sticky420** · 05-19-2011, 04:14 PM

Ya please reconsider. Again I feel like im being punished for being someone who has played this game alot. Because I've played pl for a longer period of time and have done almost all the quests again I loose out just like I did buying all the campaigns. Total garbage. Fail the only thing bout this update that seems to be any good at all is the pots for gold which I never used b 4 .as far as everything being smoother it takes forever to scroll down in the plat store but guess that doesn't matter ill never spend a dime on this game again.

Seriously Redbridge? So completed quests get re-offered with this update? On your edit, eh, that's a little low. Dunno if it is enough of an incentive for people to redo if they've done it before. I might just redo it anyway to get the !s off my screen.

Guess my question about those who update early getting locked out is also answered, since it seems like until 6 both versions would be usable at the same time.

Hey Moog,

Sorry you feel that way, matey. As I stated in the Blackstar Name Reservation thread http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...872#post303872

Blackstar is a free game, just like Pocket Legends. If you're the first to log in and make a character with the name you want, you'll get it. So, if you're really following Blackstar and play on day one, you will very likely get the name you want. The name reservation system is an optional, premium, service.

I don't know that name squatting is as big of an issue in practice as people fear it will be. If you're really worried about it, then we have a service you can patron if you value it enough to part with Plat for it.

PS. I hope your move is going smooth!

**sticky420** · 05-19-2011, 04:20 PM

Ok I see now I can get quest exp by redoing quests so im alittle less angry. Anyone know if the exp goes up for higher lv quests?

**dingiestsafe** · 05-19-2011, 04:22 PM

So I just update. And when I go to the store and click on elixirs or anything else there it just kicks me off the game straight back to the log in screen. Anyone else having this problem?

Edit: also using android Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate

**Zeus** · 05-19-2011, 04:23 PM

50 platinum for a reserve? I have 3 character names that are mine on this game, I don't want anybody to steal my identity. Please, this is a bit ridiculous.

**Futumsh** · 05-19-2011, 04:25 PM

Quest xp follows rules similar to PvE kill xp. You'll get more experience for quests at or above your level, tapering down as your level gets higher, down to a minimum of one even level kill's worth of xp.

Hey Sam,

I think that there will be more name-heisting than you guys are counting on. In another unnamed game, guilds got wiped due to an update. Do you know what the first thing someone from a rival guild did? Went in and bought the guild name in question the instant the game came online, and then ransomed it off to the rightful owners. I'm not so worried about the new players because they may not know who the heck DawnInfinity, rangepwnsmeel, Moogerfooger, Physiologic, etc are....but players purposely trying to snake names on Day One from legit/well-known PL players and trying to ransom them off.

I could be making it out worse than it will really be and be totally wrong.

I have no prob with paying for it, as a premium service to reserve, nor do the other ppl I have seen comment so far...it is that the price is STEEP for a name. I think you guys may have overshot on the price a bit. 10, maybe 20 MAX. You would get more people reserving, I bet....just a guess.

Gold for elixirs WIN!!!! I like the visual redesign/tweaks of some interfaces as well, on a positive note.

p.s. in full pack mode, it sucks!!!! I am still trying to get an answer on that question you asked a few days back, I will keep you posted!

**Yvonnel** · 05-19-2011, 04:27 PM

Force close from character screen. I can log in but if I tap any buttons it closes the application. Playing on Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate. Android 2.2.

Are you sure you are on version 1.7.2 ?

Also, which device are you on?

We'll certainly be keeping an eye on it...

**FluffNStuff** · 05-19-2011, 04:32 PM

Having problems with iPad ui on friends screen. Even if I don't click on a join, it asks me if I want to buy balefort castle to join a friend there.

**Samhayne** · 05-19-2011, 04:34 PM

Hey Fluff,

I'm on as Samhayne in Alien Oasis towne (come get yer yellow antenna). Stop by and send me a friend request so I can see what you're talking about.

**karmakali** · 05-19-2011, 04:34 PM

Android user here....installed quickly but when I attempt to enter certain options it kicks me off server. I am going to uninstall and reinstall to see if this fixes it. Just rechecked and it is only with the Store options...are these on lockdown while we wait for IOS users maybe?

**Ayc2000** · 05-19-2011, 04:34 PM

Just tested it and the update is awesome. I also saw thade and draknor! They gave me yellow antennaes! Samhayne, you should get on too!

**sticky420** · 05-19-2011, 04:36 PM

Watch out probably make it free the day b4. I've logged on and see no way to redo quests. Any help? And so im lv 53 am I correct to asume that im getting the very min exp for quests under my lv? And if so could anyone explain how that would b fair to anyone who has done any quests b 4 this update or is this just catering to new players.

Maybe it should be made a bannable offense to offer to sell someone your character's name in Blackstar - especially if it was their name in PL and there's chat log evidence that you deliberately took it in order to sell it back to them. Or just outlaw character name selling in general. We don't want a market to spring up in this sort of trade.
