Author Topic: making it easier for new players: Re-make your char at level 10  (Read 3596 times)


Hey there! i've just come up with a noob-friendly idea: the idea is that, when your character reaches lvl 10, you can redesign it's stats, skills,traits and perks (not the name, age nor gender).

plus:

-new players who realize, reaching lvl 10, that they've made a crappy character, can remake their character and keep their stuff and xp, and carry on without too much trouble---less decouragement and quitting
-would declutter the server from the hundreds of low lvl character created by new players who create a new char everytime they learn something about the game
-we would see a lot more variety, imaginative and experimental characters (under lvl10)

con:

-would be abused by creating fast leveling templates to quickly reach lvl 10 then switch.but is it such a problem?anyone who's fine tuning chars got the logistic to level up in 2 days anyway.

how to: since perk cant stack up, maybe easier to give the char who uses that fonction 10 golden apples, each setting the char lvl to X[2;10]. they can be used one by one to pick perks each 3 levels.

that function could be used over lvl 10, but getting the character back to lvl 10 anyway.

your opinions are welcome!

wow this is... a really cool idea.  especially for newbies.  +900,000

EVERYONE who ever start fonline ALWAYS fucks up their first build... (Unless you read the forums intently before starting)  which is very discouraging.

This is a very interesting suggestion, indeed.

You have my vote.

Lv10 is Tanker Quest level... so I guess I'll make lockpicker/molerat killer, then switch over to crafter or sneak/sniper

Doesn't really matter, as OP pointed out, the ones who will get most value out of this already have massive support and are probably cheating, too.

So what the hell.


This will also make Thief, Lockpicker, Sneak, and Bomber specialists way easier to level- just make them combat and/or lucrative crafter, level to 10, then FLIP.

That's why I'd vote nay.

Yup and when people respawn from death this can be abused too. The whole game can be abused! Oh no! Hey look, a gang full of lvl 10 people decide to do the tanker quest indefinatley by making new chars to get free miniguns, CA and sniper rifles! Abuse! ABUSE!

But anyway +1 for idea.

no man take it seriously, some type of characters are really hard to be leveled up. For example if you want to make suicide bomber with 300% traps skill. (120% science is also needed so you could make dynamite)

Leveling account like this can be really hard, but it would be very easy to level up unarmed figher on molerats. Also you could joine to various factions with 10 charisma, then jut remake it into your powerbuild. It is too easy to be abused.

Well it could be abused but I see the problem with the lost of hard work. I mean where is the fun with lets level on molerats?
Personally I had a lot of fun with my first char who has a messed up build but i still made him reach lvl21 he reached that level mainly thanks to my stubborn attitude but I'm ok with that even if others would probably just deleted him.
If we really want to make it possible to change stats we could make the game start with lvl21 char I mean its almost the same as creating a char that instantly lvl21 which would take the fun away well for me at least.

you see no fun in any leveling when you do it 99999th time. You just want it to do faster, and this suggestion would help you to abuse that perfectly.

I see what you mean now. Before I was looking at it in the ideal way it would be used but now that you gave an example like that...

Since the capability of abuse this suggestion is too big, we should not take care of it more, it could be a nice idea for beginers, but the oldplayers will have a lot of ways of abuse this.
SUGGESTION UNAVAILABLE

We'd have level 10 players with 100% of their points send on barter, then? Sounds like a great improvement to "barter alts" :P
