0.222 & website update

It's a good way for a skeptical person to try cRPG to see if they like it, if they do then they can kill the char and start a proper one.

Apart from the possibility that they are only going to know how to play with a lvl 30 so starting off at lvl 1 is probably going to make them feel even worse than those of us who had to learn the game while being a peasant and had to learn how to be useful as a lower level.

Great idea ! lvl 30 for free = awesome for anyone who don't have time to level up, just for playing. Thx chadz, you killed the mod!

[okiN]

I don't understand this negativity about "skip the fun" for some people. Just because it's not a real option for players like us doesn't mean it doesn't add to the mod, let alone that it detracts from it somehow.

I'm tempted to think all the people comlaining about how useless it is are just annoyed they got left off the "free levels" gravy train.

[Penchik]

Oh come on. Why there is no little patch from 211 to 222? Damn 170 mb again 

[Cosmos_Shielder]

I understand it. That's why I said it's better to spend the time leveling one character to 30, incase you decide to retire or have alts at some point, rather than going insta 30 and not having an option to have other chars or to retire.
Good for a new player to play around with builds and test them though.

Lol it was me who did not understand .
It may be good for new player to learn how make a build :

[AlbaTiger]

Well no-one is left off, everyone has the option to delete all their characters except 1 and take a lvl 30.

It is just that I feel I learned a lot of the tactical and positional awareness for this game from being low level, having to carefully pick my targets, run from people who looked too strong, stick with teammates who had better gear...etc...

Now that isn't to say people who use the lvl 30 to find out a build they want first won't learn those same skills, but they may get much more frustrated dropping down to low levels after only having played lvl 30 before.

UNRELATED: Thanks chadz for "0 slot used" weapons such as dagger....soon 2 times loomed!

EDIT: New Tapistry splash screen is most epic win

[Torben]

skip the fun is awsome for people to try new builds.  once a fav build is found they can kill and get serious

[_RXN_]

chadz, thank you very much for that new fast leveling feature!

[Malaclypse]

Wow! DTV is so, so, so much more awesome now, for real. You outdid yourselves with it as it is. Getting rolled by Peasants all day long until we work together.

[Magikarp]

I think the skip the fun option should be more accessable, by only allowing it once per account, but without the no alts requirement. It's a fun idea, but I don't see the point unless you are entirely new to this.

[okiN]

That is the point.

Good thing the quiver bug got fixed. It was annoying as hell. :3

[Varyag]

Cool feature with lvl 30. I bet you took the idea from the mercenaries mod. Hope strategus comes out soon.

BTW regarding the mercenaries mod, they actually pay a bit of gold per kill, as well as gold for victory. Would be nice to see it in cRPG too.

The trouble is you wouldn't get people doing the unglamorous jobs where you get less, or even no, kills if you add a reward for killing people.
