A slight character creation ui fix

phaydren

Well i was going to make an alt yesterday but i had to stop for a while due to a small problem, i got to teh archtype selection window and was about to chose one to be stuck with for the rest of the game that was suitable for the tree i was gonna pick but.... well theres no stat point explanations tool-tips.

Sure its shows teh basic x-x-x-x-x layout as to where the points go, but say if your a new player and didnt understand what %'s those atributes gave, then you could pick an archtype totaly unsuitable for your selected tree.

All that would be needed is to add tooltips showing what each archtype will give you in terms of stats, and also a definition of these stats
(eg , so you want to be a gunman, go for stats x+y) for new players in the blank space of the bottom right hand corner, as it stands new players are thrown in at the deep end on character creation.

yea i had this problem too.. it is a pain.

I'm pretty sure you can mouse-over the attributes to get a description of each one and what it does. The problem is it's still the old CR1 description, so new players are likely to choose the wrong Personality from the start.
I run into this whenever I make an alt cos I never remember to write down which stat does what... you'd think I'd know by rote by now.

Yep, this needs changing, I had to jump on MSN and xFire to find someone jacked in to check for me.

MXO is so not newbie friendly.

This needs to be changed indeed.

I think Rarebit said tutorial update would be 53, I remember my first day, I didn't pay much attention to the taders around me, I was just: Wow..... oh my lord, I am in the Matrix, and I was just running around, I did make my way to Uriah SW though and I explored more didn't see many people but I was running to obscure places but with this being my first MMO I didn't notice much. Then I remember running into Mara C and the rest, as they say, is history.

It would be nice for the hover window to say: Benifits Throwing/Ballistic.

Also would it be possible to unclaim names that have been unused for say 6 months, by unused I mean a character that was deleted.
