Used: VC book? Empty Used: VC book?

Post by RustyDios Wed Aug 20, 2008 4:08 pm

Was strolling the forums and came up with an idea... with the iminent destruction of the player crystals and full switch to the VC system it can be hard to remeber precisely what can be done and some new players that have never seen the forums just simply won't know.. To save alot of us older players repeating stuff to the newer ones (not that I'm against others asking me questions... I'll always try and answer honestly and if I simply don't know I'll redirect to AD or Cridias) I was thinking maybe of handing out a "book " style item with a simple describtion listing the various common functions found or the "How to use the VC system" guidelines, at least something in-game (for non-forum users ) to point towards typing "vc help" into the chat bar.. .. and to remind us older players what options do excist.. ..
.. the reason I'm suggesting it be given as an item is when I first got into Aenea I examined all the new goodies placed into my inventory yet walked straight past the notice boards in the dragon... untill my thrid log-in or so..
.. just another idea that came randomly into my head... ...

Good idea.

I'm keeping the green crystal in the game, since it's used to manage the ioun stones (yes, I know those need a bit more work). Maybe I'll just make a Player Guide a part of that conversation (no extra scripting/items required).

Hey yeah thats sounds cool.. was an idea to just be able to get the information out there and still accessable for new and old alike and easy to get at / not miss-able.. I think an extra conversation node on the green crystal will be a better way way to do this and easier to maintain than a whole new item (I just never thought of taking that approach) .. and saves us carrying another item around with us (hence the switch to VC anyway - I think)
.. Thanks for thinking about it.. Smile

This one is now in. The player guide section has some information (and some needs updated already... *cough* Dungeon Mistress Anaurra Lide in staff list *cough* )...

Thanks for the suggestion, RustyDios.
