We should not have to figure out how the game operates..

It seem the dev's were to lazy to write a decent manual to let players know how to do something and the players can just 'figure it out" on their own

Case in point.. when do you see your 'chi' level

This is required if you want to do something like fire a frost arrow or generate a mana shield

I didn't learn about 1/2 the stuff in this game until I spent hours going through 'fan sites' who were mostly guessing how things work.

I guess you can always say 'what do you expect for free' ..right!

Take aim , fanboys.. fire at will (see if I care)

Pretty much everything in this game is simplified to where anyone can understand it. Do you really need a novel-sized manual to tell you how to move forward and press a button?
One would figure you would gain the "chi" ability at the same (cultivation) level that you gain an ability that requires "chi". The same would be said for spark.
These are quite basic "features" that should come inherently, tbph.

Game isn't hard. If it is too complicated for you, allow me to suggest Runescape or AdventureQuest.

Or Hello Kitty Adventure Island: Online.

Then again, even that might be too hardcore

figure it out ey?? lol I very much figured most basic things in this game and very rarely I ask somebody about something yea I agree its kinda annoying when somebody asks hey whats this for x_X its like somebody presses pause every time he/she asks on my gameplay wonder how high there IQ is

While I agree that most parts of this game aren't too difficult to find out for yourself, expecting someone to "research" fundamental aspects of the game on the internet is kind of absurd. Learning how to use skills / cast spells is nothing at all like easter eggs or secret dungeons.

It should also be remembered that a lot of people playing this game are bringing a certain gaming "skillset" with them, so it's going to be easier and more intuitive for them than it may be for someone else. For me, it's a no-brainer that all of a sudden I have "chi" that's used for some skills, but some other people may just think to themselves "What the hell? Why do I have two mana bars now?"

I guess what I'm saying is that the only thing worse than people whining for help are the people whining about newbies. The help section in-game and on the site are nice, but they're not all that extensive... and requiring someone to do research for something outside the game - for something that's not supposed to be secretive or arduous - is a failure on the game's part, plain and simple.

...all that being said, if you pay attention, you should probably be fine in this game.

A beginners guide wouldn't be too much trouble to make. The end. lol

aka... Why even make people figure things out when it would take max 30 minutes for these people to make a quick guide explaining things?

..... cuz

Personally, it's not too bad for a free MMO, and I've played a few. The guide linked above does give you a good grasp of the basics. The ingame help isn't quite as nice, but it's definitely better than Silkroad Online.

If you really want to play a game in-depth, it's your choice to surf these and other forums to gain a better idea of what classes are good, builds, what to do for money, etc. To me, the challenge is figuring out the game, or pieces of it that no one else has found, while looking at the cool scenery and laughing at some of the mob names

Lastly, keep in mind, this game is still in open beta, so I would set your expectations accordingly.

Yeah, all questions feel free to ask me in game ^_^ I hate training, so I just am talking to people most the time anyways.

The in game guide mainly sucks btw. I just figured out the whole game from the forums, that was before open beta started.

I don't think to many people search at all. Most probably just go straight to asking someone for help instead of finding the answer on their own, but what can you say to a game that most likely has a lot of younger people playing it? They just expect everyone to tell them what they want to know asap. This isn't a hard game to figure out at all. I think some consule games are harder to figure out than this is. It isn't like you have to know what every symbol means because you can just move the cursor over it and it'll tell you. The game guides that are out there are detailed enough. It gives you the basics, but wait, don't practically all games just give you the basics?

holy god...
Complaining about wanting to know how to do stuff yet I have written a massive FAQ in the noob section?
Thats great, maybe next time you should spend longer than 1 second searching.

From the forums I've done admin on... Next to searching, its reading stickies, especially long ones that take more than 2 seconds of attention span, that is the top thing never done by noobs.
