BFH

[b]New Players Tutorial:[/b] [b]Marble Dale Park: ‘MP2 Stage’[/b][list=1] [*]New players will enter the game as MP2. [*]They will appear at the Marble Dale Park (no walking arrows should appear) and immediately a fight will be unleashed with a Bot. Completely automated. [/list] As the fight progresses things like “This is your opponent. These are the opponent creatures. These are your creatures. You Won/Lose should appear. First Major Change affecting everybody: [list] [*]Fight animations: fights should be very animated, such as lifesteal, other abilities should show any sort of animations which will make the new comers get surprised and eager to fight. [/list] [list=1] [*]They will get to fight a second bot. This time they will have to search for him on the scene, among all players and click the attack button. [/list] They should be guided. Maybe with a floating box telling them their active task: “Search for Fight Dummy, click his name, and hit “Attack this Player.” *They will get to choose from a predefined list of rituals. (Random selection should not appear). They are guided (again with any arrows or thing floating) and they will unleash a first attack by their own After he finishes and fight window closes, they immediately see a page explaining most of the things (That page should be added to help pages and LHO Faq)[list=1] [*]They get to fight a third/final Bot. This time they should be only shown the active tasks. (Eg Find BFH and attack him) They will get to choose from a group of predefined creatures [NOT only aramory ones, idea is for them to notice there is a huge variety, so that when they recruit their first creatures they get interested in getting others] and they will have to create their ritual and attack. This time they can either win or lose. Bot shouldn’t be piece of cake. [/list] [list=1] [*]After third fight, they will be asked to click their Scroll Copy (left panel, first icon, means that task is eliminated from MP3) and they will advance Mind Power (to Mp3) and teleported to the Paper Cabin. [/list] [b]Mind Power 3: Paper Cabin[/b][list=1] [*]At the Paper Cabin they should see the floating box telling the Active Task of Clicking the Glowing Scroll. [*]Immediately a page should appear explaining what everything does. It should also be included in help pages and LHO’s faqs. [*]Continue and… [/list][list] [*]Tasks of finding the “Scroll Copy” should be eliminated, it should unlock on MP2 stage after 3[sup]rd[/sup] fight. [*]Task of Finding Copy of MD Map should be eliminated. Let them have it from beginning of mp3. [*]Jump all the tutorial, skip lad guardian, up to “Explore the Southern area of the Map” It should go something like this: Use your map [Map Icon Image] to explore the Southern area of No Mans Land. [*]Skip liquid dust House warning and task since it is continue exploring. [/list] [indent=1]Alternatively to all the previously mentioned points just make the Main task (it can be put as float also): “Go outside and use your map to explore No Man’s Land and find the Aramory”.[/indent][list=1] [*]When reaching the Aramory, make it clickable without the need of clicking the scroll and ask them to enter. Right now it can be very confusing since there are no instructions telling “YOU NEED TO CLICK THE SCROLL TO ENTER”. After they enter, they should be given the task to recruit at least two different creatures. They should not get out of there having 3 barrens… This means that: “Congratulations you recruited your first creat” should be eliminated and should appear after they recruit two different creats. [*]When they face the shades, they should face a real target, currently shades are piece of cake. I also believe they should not have the “choose random option” They should be forced to use the system to create and use their own rituals. [*]After fighting any shades, screen should auto refresh for the other shade to appear, currently it is leading to many: “This action is locked.” [/list] [b]Story Mode Options:[/b] Analyze very carefully the statements I’ll be giving here, because this is the major problem. Option 1:[list=1] [*]After they fight the last Shade they get to choose between starting story mode right away or start it later. [/list] [b]If they start story mode: [/b][list] [*]Principles should show some sort of small summary. (Currently if you click info they do show some sort of summary, I think it should be made “Show on top” [*]Waiting intervals should be smaller or none. As I said before, the longer they wait, the most they will leave. There are currently 6 waiting intervals, before free roam. Multiply by 15 and it means too much time, which is nothing good for a new player, and our player base. [/list][list=1] [*]A question for community: What about if free roam is given right from the beginning of story mode? We can give them some base stats and remove them conform they advance in story. [*]Immediately after story I think they can be allowed to choose an avatar. Give them to option to directly exchange one of their free credits for the feature or simple give it free. [*]Spelling errors. I believe Grido can make a group to find and fix them. [/list] [b]If they pick not to start story right away:[/b][list=1] [*]Story could be started any moment directly from their scroll or pc’s one. [*]They get to see fight and profile icons. [*]They receive some minor stats, which should be removed at the moment of them starting story. [/list] [b]This option fixes the part of waiting without wanting. Presenting the real game, making them stay. Making MD’s playerbase bigger.[/b] [b]Option 2:[/b] They start story mode right after last shade.[list] [*]Principles should show some sort of small summary. (Currently if you click info they do show some sort of summary, I think it should be made “Show on top” [*]Waiting intervals should be smaller or none. As I said before, the longer they wait, the most they will leave. There are currently 6 waiting intervals, before free roam.

[/list] [b]So improve this plan, since I need concrete things now. I’ll edit according to community opinions and based to logic.[/b]

During this week I'll be focusing on new players tutorial Expect a concrete plan on it here in some hours/days. I'll exclude tokens on New players tutorial. We might include them at MP4 one.

[center][size=6][color=#FF0000]Happy BDAY SEPHY!! [/color][/size][/center]

I'm waiting for something to begin survey.

Orchid next time try to begin the log at the beginning of the event, aka exclude all the chatting before MB started. It makes us easier to read on to the point and ofc avoids the forum [b].... etc

I would doubt 2 heals per day... I believe it could be an error. On the other hand, Nowadays protector heals are so weak that are stupid. They should work based on target ve. Aka: heal a specific percent of the target ve.

Andrea. If you need help moving to away away places contact me I can help If I'm online

Well this is part of forum so forum penalizations sounds correct. On the other hand, it can be simple. We just have a public chart with the "warning level"X player have. If I'm going to buy and I notice X have a high warning level I won't buy from him/her.

You sure you waitied for page to refresh? Otherwise I'm sure, if you sent this to any LHO's that they would ask you to clean cache and cookies. Do that because I see my complete page of Upload Avatars, which can mean it can be related to your browser/cache/cookies.

So... Any specific days?

Happy BDAY!

[quote name='Shadowseeker' timestamp='1345282260' post='120381'] Us mods have discussed a possible new rule to be added to the market section, essentially stating that any screens/values given have to stay the same as they were unless they automatically increase (age) or a warning is given that it may change, for a final confirmation before sale. (e.g. you used a heated creature to fight and it may have more/less heat due to that, so when you sell it you have to tell the buyer beforehand) We are in agreement with this, but considering the forums are a platform for the trades, we wanted to know the public opinion. I have enabled a poll, leaving yes, no, something else as options. However, if you wish to elaborate on particulars, feel free to do so here. (If it turns into a discussion it will be moved into a new topic, so if you want to discuss only please save us time) [/quote] That's fair. I vote yes.

So it's still on sale? If not this is way off-topic

[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1345185401' post='120290'] You people completely misunderstood my intentions. I genuinely hope BFH feels better. I just wanted to know what he was suffering from so that I could understand what he is suffering from in a better way. Just becoz i lashed out at Tom pouce once doesnt mean i'm a bitter person who wants to take down the world. Honestly... My mistake for being concerned... I'l just shut up from next time.. [/quote] Nahh, I understood your good intentions. We are scientists we look to know. I don't even know what happened to Tom. Anyways, what I meant was: I won't give any info in public, just to avoid the "How poor..." I just hate that. I can tell you in private if you want to know Anyways, meds are working. My age helps me and I won't be hospitalized for now, if condition keeps getting controlled.

On my mind? Many things. What's in yours?

Ty all for your wishes. I still have issues, but at least I think meds are doing their work. I have to ask doctor tomorrow, well the tests will tell me. @ Nim- Not here I hate the "poor" stuff.

I'm sick and my doctor told me that if i don't get better in 48 hrs I'll have a long stay at the hospital. Basically most on me is compromised (acting crazy, that was understood from him) due to my own immune system... endocrine is getting nastily affected... Since this is not the first time it happens. He gave me the same treatment of before and he hopes I get better soon, but he wants me to "rest" which I never do, neither plan to do. I post here because I'll login to check things, MD tutorial effort, ads, etc., but there might be a possibility I stop for a few days if he decides to hospitalize me. Which I hope he doesn't. So until laters if anything happens.

Third try to reply... Invision Zone hates me... Im sick, with heavy medication atm, and very busy in real, my reply will be short. You can just put here remove this without giving any single argument. I wouldnt do that... It is stupid. so two questions: are u having any issues? on what u base your request?

For now this topic will remain open, but I won;t post here until I have all mp3s reactions. Chew is totally right. We need to know what they think first. Note: There might be a possibility that I post soon a survey as well

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1344974041' post='120127'] yet you left incorrect and worrying information on the forum when you knew others would likely see the error and be worried by your scaremongering... its just... bad... [/quote] Bahh okay... But it is a fact, even if it sounds scary and all! Most of the people with a virus have an antivirus... Just that it was not his case. His issue was related to a link and part of his text. Chatting with him he fixed his own prob. So it's solved already.

I explained all of that to him Chew. In chat

Most of the people with viruses on their pcs have an antivirus software. Don't sleep by that side Just request access.

That doesn't happen to anybody, but to ip's close or related to attacks/bots. It doesn't mean you are a hacker, but that system detected your pc might be affected by a virus, hence it protects md by locking you. Just fill the captcha an request the access... That way the people in charge fix your problem with the click of a button. If you don't request access I believe it will appear every hour or every x amount of time it gets configured.

[quote name='J-D' timestamp='1344952525' post='120095'] When I went to edit my notebook, it had me enter a captcha. It has never done that before, and I have a feeling it is this "cloudflare" thing that was doing it. [/quote] Print Screen please? [quote name='Tal' timestamp='1344951897' post='120094'] I got this error again <magicduel.com> Error: SyntaxError Err description: undefined Err number: undefined Err message: at index 0: expected expression, got '<' Ajax response: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="en-US"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Website is currently unreachable</title> <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="/cdn-cgi/cache-err/error.css" type="text/css"> <script type="text/javascript"> document.cookie = 'cf_use_ob=0; path=/'; </script> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height="100%" cellpadding="30"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="center"> <img src="/cdn-cgi/cache-err/exclamation.png" /> <h1>Website currently unavailable</h1><!-- Error #2001: origin_502_ob0 --> <p>The website you are trying to access is currently unavailable.
