The 'wonderful community' we supposedly have here are doing a great job of taking the piss out of the guy - go us, eh? No wonder some people think we have a niche fanboy game community here... *sighs*
To some of you, the Isle may be totally obvious and simple but you've been around long enough to figure it out. People who just downloaded the client to try the game have not. They need more help, not having someone suggesting they go play tic-tac-toe.
While I agree that flaming the guy is not the best tactic, I do not agree with some of your statment. As i said in an earlier post in this thread I started playing a few days ago, Saturday (10/14/06) to be exact. I did have a little trouble, but what did I do? I asked in region chat, and I got very helpful answers from folks that were in game. When I got my butt handed to me by the first couple of critters I tried to fight, instead of getting mad at the game, I decided to watch some folks, and ask questions. Not everyone needs to have thier hand held until they are uber. Also the guy said he had played two years ago. I do not know how much has changed since then but he still should have had a basic idea of what to do and how to do it, which is more than I had having never played this game before. I am sure if the newb isle was as hard as he makes it out to be you would have seen more than 2 whole posts about it.
As a matter of fact I have been helping another person who is new to the game. I have helped them through several quests, I have even taught them some simple combat tactics so they can survive. Why have I been doing this? well, because they asked me if I could help them out. Most of us in the game are not psychic, we do not automaticly know when someone needs help. So if they ask for help I will gladly do so if I can. But if they stomp around and never ask a single question, how am i supposed to know?
In his last bit of ranting he says he plays WoW, that may give us some insight as to why he has a problem with this game, as Ryzom requires some actual thought process. I am not saying he is an idiot, but, if he is used to a game that requires hardley any thought and lets you level up in record time he will have to learn to ask questions and ask for help and not expect the Devs to change the game to make it easier for him. Also maybe the folks are responding to him in a not quit loving manner because of the original tone of his post. He is demanding that the Devs fix a perfectly good bit of programming because he feels he should not have to do a bit of reading and learning. If he stomps his feet and throws a tantrum verbly instead of posting something that's a bit more mature sounding he reaps what he sows.
, ok..let me see if I can help with the PvP countdown timer....
