New players and NCB characters. (in General)


AdminShade January 4 2006 10:48 AM EST

Just now a new player asked about the following:

"Warning: enabling the NCB will result in the elimination of stored BA in excess of the normal cap of 160. "

now in my opinion a new player (this player in fact was 1 day old) shouldn't even be able to create an NCB character...


Any chance you would change this to become available to them once their NUB has run out or would that be too difficult to code?

The box for choosing an NCB char probably isn't active for them. It shows when you can't create an NCB but can't be used.

And, what I meant to add, that's the standard message on create new character page, regardless of what bonus you have.

Thats the point, it IS active...

no, it's not enabled, duh

disappearing UI elements is usually poor design

better to show the options and disable them as required

Ahh, so NUB players can check the box but still get a normal character, having the NUB instead of the NCB?

the box is there but they can't check it

Shade seems to be saying that this NUB can select it....

AdminJonathan January 4 2006 11:51 AM EST

yes, that is what he seems to be saying

he's wrong

Then I got false information from that NUB player.
