Does a Throwing Instructor exist ?

[popps]

New Haven has pretty much Instructors in all combat skills.

I checked already, and throwing is not listed in their menu.

I also walked around Ter Mur looking for one but so far could not.

When Stygian Abyss was released, and Throwing with it, was a Throwing Instructed created ?

Where is it ?

Thank you very much for your kind reply.

To the best of my knowledge there is no Bladeweaving tutor.
The only Bladeweaver npc is this quest giver: Agralem the Bladeweaver Quest

Yes I saw him but it is more for already advanced characters.

The Instructors are more a new players' help to raise the skill up to 50 in a faster way, do a nice quest (for a new player that is) which makes the training more fun and rewarding and get a reward too at the end of the combat skill training quest.

Since I saw a reference in the new video about new players which I greatly appreciated, I hope the Devs will cover this gap and add a Throwing Instructor.

Perhaps even 2, one in Ter Mur and one also in New Haven, where all other instructors are.....

training...15 min to 50.
quest...an hour to get you to 50.

you decide...

Personally, I can afford eating SoTs to advance skills fast if I wish so....
The point is that Instructors are helpfull for new players who hardly have SoTs available, not for veterans.

I think the lack of a Throwing Instructor should be covered and, since new players usually start in New Haven, understandably, such Instructor should be there among the others.

But then, since Throwing is really a Gargoyle skill, there should also be one in Ter Mur at the Royal City.

Enticing ... 'tisn'tit?fif,usif,

I look forward to your review ...

 

[Lord GOD(GOD)]

As I think already said, there is only a normal NPC in Royal City in Ter Mur which lets you buy it to 30something. There is no New Haven instructor for buying to 40, or enhanced skill gain to 50 quests like the other weapon skills.

Does anyone other than me play a new character up in skill by actually going out and adventuring? The game has monsters set up so you can do it starting with all zero's in the skills you plan your character to use if you want. It's not a grind to raise most skills that way and is a heck of a lot more fun than whacking on a golem for hours must be.

Level-based games must drive you all zonkers.

That's always been how I've trained, so no, you're not the only one All my newbies were made to fend for themselves when it came to gold, gear and the like. I quite like stepping back into newbie shoes with a fresh character, it's a nice change to go back and play the old stuff.

This could have been solved much more easily if a mod had just simply replied "No." and then locked the thread.

Or even more easily if the OP, instead of trying to be clever and coy, had just said what they really meant; namely, "There should be a Throwing instructor in New Haven."

Or even more easily still if the OP had just sent their suggestion to the Feedback forum on the Herald.

Yes, what would they possibly do? I mean how else could they possibly raise skill?

I am not sure how I am supposed to read that contribution to the thread....

Perhaps that Insctructors are pointless, useless and a waste of Developers' time since there is "other" ways that skills can be raised ??

Fact is, that the Developers took their time and effort to bring to the game Instructors and I think they are a good addition for new players.

Since we are talking about trying to attract new players to the game (which I think is a wonderfull proposition...), I just thought that perhaps it would be a nice and good think to also overhaul the new skills instructors so as to aid new players in their training.

That's a wrong thing ??

No popps ... premature

NewNew Haven
THEN critique

Then the why/why nots ...
AFTER you see what they gots ....

*shrugs*
Not likely ... but they COULD manage to get all skills and all trainers arrayed alphabetically and grouped by races and templates in a ascending/descending order of blinking path runes color coded from the "Advisor" NPC that interviews you for your psychological profile and ADD percentile ratings and cross logarithmically scaled against your age and region of ip origin ...

Its like christmas eve ... waiting to see what grade of coal santa can smuggle in ...

Here *passes medium taped box*
*whispers* ... it is full of fresh question marks ... personal aged stash ...
sort them while you wait ... gooooood therapy ...

No popps ... premature

Over the years and many, many publish, there is one thing that I think I got to learn.

I have a feeling that once the developers have already had their brain storming, their design plan laid out and their coding done, getting extra stuff that was not in the original plan into the publish becomes extremely difficult. Sometimes it happens, usually for minor things or adjustments but the best way to get something in a publish is to be premature...

Rather than wait to see from which direction the wind blows, sometimes blowing one's own lungs "might" help the wind blow in some direction. Sometimes.......

Of course, no guarantee but at least it gets better chances.....

Of course, only my feelings.......

 

[Zosimus]

IBTL

Popps, just PM or ask in the HOC tuesday night the devs and ask them nicely to add a throwing instructor with the new player thingamajig that they are going to do

End of discussion

Now can we have this one locked also?

premature ... as in Pre(before) Mature (bolded above)
YOU want to get in/on BEFORE the brainstorming and refining ... understood ...
this time
too late.

*shrugs*
I was unaware of them asking for suggestions popps ... THAT would be the "before time"
not now
now ... they're trying to get the other touches done ... for publish.
*shrugs*

If they would have asked >about< the little idea they had ... playable starter block ... for idling in during the remaining bulk of download ...
there are three at least here on the boards ... that could have given somepointers re: what to watch out for and a few things to be damn sure to avoid.
first would be to have CURRENT downloads available (to avoid the long PATCH up times existing)
second would be to have mirror sites to distribute the initial download demands(5+ wide mouth widebands, top tier or refurbished tweakers)
to hope to avoid what is gonna happen(If there is a demand ... not likely, sorry ... unless there's a cash prize incentive to TRY and find something in the client ... buy more ovaltine) there hasn't exactly been a rush TO start new accounts ya see.
Complete package smoothly available (unknown; not likely)

WHILE the NewNew Haven client Is Being Poked about on ...
the background download(never mind >its install<) will likely bog down Play IN THE NewNew ...
ie. crappy first impression ... why is my character moving so slow
