Some Observations I made
Hey guys, my wife and I had a chance to make accounts and characters over the weekend and I must say, over all I am pretty impressed at how far along you guys have come interms of getting Telon to live again. Big congrats here.
I know the server is in Pre-Alpha really so I am not complaining at all. But I do want to make the devs aware of some things so that it can be fixed or implemented as we go along.
First off, seems after about 30 to 45 mins, we would crash to desktop. I dont think we were actually crashing, i just thing connection to the server was being lost which causes the game to completely close. I don't think we were the only ones.
This was a little frustrating to my wife cause her favorite thing to do is customize her character and this happened twice while she was trying to customize her character and had to start all over. I told her not to worry too much about it because once the server goes live, all characters are going to be wiped anyway.
This brings me to my next observation. It appears after you created your character and all, at the moment you can not go back and recustomize it to change the look. I am not sure if this is because we are pre-alpha and/or because SOE's change to how that is done has not been reversed yet. One of the dumb changes SOE made for the F2P conversion was make it so that if you wanted to go back and re-customize your character, you have to purchase an Item called "Shave and a cut." I thought this was the dumbest thing ever since before F2P you could re-customize anytime you wanted. But this was one of their many ways of trying to nickel and dime players. So I wanted to bring that up to ensure it gets reverted so that we players can re-customize our chars any time we choose. As it is now, you have to delete and re-make your char if you want it to look different.
Last observation I have is that I noticed the account we have for VGOPlayers.com is separate from our Server Login account. At some point, I think we are going to have to find a way to merge those accounts so that VGOPlayers will work properly. The original VGPlayers login was your SOE account log in and when you logged in you had more access to your chars and could add or delete blogs, make things public/private per character, etc. Speaking of the blogs, i just remembered one of the annoying things was that you could add/delete your own blogs, but you could not delete the server created blogs. You could delete the pics from those but not the blogs themselves. I think you guys should make it so you can delete ANY blogs. Just a suggestion.
Again i know we are in pre-alpha and a long way off from getting things live, but I just wanted to put these things out there to make the devs aware of things that will need to be changed/implemented.
