Out of Pod Experience

Yet another.

Good luck with that !

Thanks for the feedback, will get started on that now :)

First impressions just from the website:

- game concept in the guide needs more explanation of what the game is about rather than what your first steps are
- game history, if you do use a history make it one that digs a little deeper other than "there be dragons". If your lore is still being worked on then you're better off stating exactly that than coming up with something too simplistic, too short and obviously rushed
- on account terms of use: "Your Information are protected" are?
- your forums need some graphics going even though this is very early alpha, AS you make this alpha public you're essentially already "selling" the product, as such you need to liven it up a bit. It doesn't take much but the simple basic theme is a bit meh. Putting in effort into "selling" your product shows the potential customer that you are fully committed to it, i know it sounds shallow but that's how it works

- while registering you should indicate that the "recruited by" field is optional, while obvious it does help
- after account creation it continues to the login screen where it already filled out the account name with... the email adress, which it shouldn't

- race explanations typo (bolded): Imp - Without doubts the smallest of all races
- there's a ton of comma's in the racial explanation text that really shouldn't be there (I should know, I'm guilty of that myself :P)

- weapons point allocation without further explanation needs some more effort, new players are clueless as to what it does, which classes use what weapons and how this affects our character (if at all)
- character names have to be one full name instead of being able to have a surname. many games do this but it's very annoying and it also means that at some point people will have to start choosing silly names.


- tutorial 1: first visit. "The small button after Money leads you to the Game Options", should read "The small button next to help leads you to Game Options". Also, that game options button needs a mouse over info that it is indeed the option button




Now I'll be off digging some more into it :)

BIG GRIPE:

If you want us to test your alpha you shouldn't ask us to pay (with real cash) for ingame items, partly because it makes you look like a @#$# and mostly because it means we won't bother trying any of it. If any, give us a limited amount of coins per day to toy with. Asking for RL payment leads us to believe that your "alpha" isn't alpha at all but a released product (other companies try this same trick and it pisses ppl off) and then assess your early game as a fully released product, which it won't survive, and we'll just forget about your game.

It sounds interesting, but you should put some kind of gimmick in the story (like what they did for the [REDACTED] books).
Also, do you think you could contact CCP or some other company for some assistance?

Added a new guide page which can be found at:

You should make the leveling system I hybrid between a traditional one and the EVE skill system.

Also, if I remember correctly, trolls are silicon-based lifeforms. They have no skeleton, no muscles, no organs, nothing. They are just rocks, that's it. Their brain is just a huge deposit of impure silicon inside their head.

And of course, since their brains are just silicon, that means that in higher temperatures, they are dumber and more aggressive, while in lower temperatures, they are much smarter and less of mindless killing machines.

Added some more pages:

and also:

the second one contains a lot of details about each of the pages within the game.


An Auction House is currently being developed and will be ready in the coming weeks.

Alright, here goes:

Magic is a weaker, less sophisticated form of psionics, amplified by the manipulation of subspace combined with the bridging of two universes to generate Zero Point Energy, and with the use of matter within normal space as a conduit.

Bump

Bump.

I agree with Darius. Trolls are Scilicon-based lifeforms.
