First Quarter 2015 Schedule Update

Any word on when we can get our Physical items? I really want my map

 

Yes it is suppose to be next release that we see pledge items in game, so hopefully it works.

 

...

Physical items, such as the cloth map (which is what Arctis refers to), and the physical copy of Blade of the Avatar, along with other various physical items, are NOT the same as our in-game pledge rewards.

Just FYI.

 

(about housing permissions)

I'd also like it a lot if this was earlier rather than later. Already in game there are groups of people which are scamming and harassing and generally up to no good, and I'd love to be able to remove them from my bar at least.

 

Sorry yes I missed the physical items comment, and regarding that, probably closer to release, and we are not sure when exactly release will be. The Development team stated the game won't be done until we say it is done.

 

I apologize for any redundancy, but does that include the lot deeds and buildings as well?

 

Hi Cordelayne. Oh no apologies needed. Welcome to you. If I understand your questions correctly, lot deeds and buildings that you have pledged for will show up in game hopefully for R14 if they can make it work that is. The thing is since the game is not finished being developed there may still be wipes coming up since the game isn't launched yet, but you should be able to replace your pledge lots and deeds when that happens.

 

Has the date for R14 changed or an error here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/


15 Days to Release 14

Each month players are able to access pre-alpha releases of Shroud of the Avatar for a short window. The next release, Release 14 is set to go live January 22. Learn more about Release 14...

 

Thanks Majoria, so basically then with Release 14 everything and everyone will be reset to zero including, players houses etc? Is my understanding correct?

 

I know that we get wiped for some releases... I don't care about items but, when you wipe can you make a list of people who have achieved certain goals like Level 30 and Level 50 which kick in bonus skill points to start the next release at that level? Strictly during Alpha stage... so that we don't have to go back over the same content but instead we can move on quickly to newer harder content and stress test those area's instead of the ones we have been tromping around in for a month...

I will have no concerns over starting at level 1 when game is released to public, but during the alpha stage at least allow those of us who have achieved higher levels to keep going... I'd hate having to grind for a few weeks before I can get into the newer features being made available and hopefully tougher creatures to poke...

 

I know it is difficult to have to lose your progress and the development team has apologized and said they will do it as little as possible. Since some of combat,game features, and skills are still being put in it is difficult to keep it without wiping.
The game used to be open only a few days once a month so that part has improved. I'm not sure if they can start people out at a higher level or something but it never hurts to ask Also there is usally something
new in each release sometimes lots of new things to test out and new areas to explore so it shouldn't be the same old same old in all ways. We do this for our game, we can do it Starr Long will post a lengthy thread right before the next release that will
give us a list of the features and stuff they were able to get in the game before we get to download patches and play the next release. That is always a really exciting thing to read, to me anyway. I always read every word.

 

If something changes in the levelling system we should level up to test it, and some of those changes go unnoticed to players, so i don't think that's a good idea. Devs should consider it for releases in which progression and leveling content stays static, though; in that case, your point fits perfectly.

 

Im super keen to see items dropped anywhere, its the ultimate in game immersion. I think this feature should be put to the top of the list as it sets shroud apart from any other mmo style of game.

 

LOL yes I'm with you Crag. We are told that will happen, but at this point that feature would not do well because of issues in this point of development. We were told it would be added later. So hang in there and welcome to you ***majoria bows***

 

i dont' know if i can continue play this game if skills are wiped every time... maybe i can retry playing on Beta stage.. i've to work.. i've family.. i can't kill spiders every day

 

It is a given that wipes are going to happen. It is just how testing works. Most people would want nothing to do with the game until it launches for this exact reason. But not only would preventing wipes hinder development, it would be incredibly unfair to people that play at release time since gold is falling out of the trees right now.

 

Gatsu that is what a alpha/beta is about testing content for the developers.

 

It's understandable. Testing isn't for everyone.

 

I don't really care about skill levels, I care about having fun in game while testing, the rest will come automatically...
