Title: Regarding the New Perks
Post by: djspectre on February 13, 2010, 04:46:25 PM
There is no confirmation screen when you choose a perk. Like "Are you sure you want the XXXXX Perk? If you choose yes, it will be both immediately active and permanently applied to your character".

I mention this because right now, while I choose the correct perk I wanted, I can see someone accidentally misclicking when trying to use the 'next' or 'previous' list items and taking a perk they didnt want and then having to talk to the DM's to correct it.

Small, but perhaps helpful.

Bump, I saw that this issue caused a problem to two people in the DM Q&A area.

Any resolution to this? Or the issue that a perk does not allow to be undone by a DM? (I understand why not having a Player be able to undo it)

The system does not support it. It was supposed to ask for confirmation since recently, however.

There was no confirmation on my own selection. I don't remember exactly how it worked but there was a fairly obvious sound effect and a new journal entry when selecting 'perks' from the crafting menu. In that area they are described (although I couldn't see more than the first few and had to come to the website)

Adding a confirmation or some method to have them reset would be wonderful whenever it's possible ;)

Yeah... a reset and confirmation would be great.
 
While an unexpected boon to PCs, you're not "out" anything if you screw it up, but it sucks a bit.

Please keep in mind that a willy-nilly reset will never be allowed.  It would let people shuffle their perks around which would be too ridiculously good.

When you select a perk, would it be possible to get a short description of the perk and it's effects before confirming you want it?

Yes. Like:

click perk

it moves to new convo with description and something like: 'Are you sure you want this perk?" "Yes" "no"

or something of that style.

And maybe a just this once reset across the board, if a way to do so is figured out.

Yeah, the journal entry only shows a couple of the perks, and every day I see new people who never even knew about perks in the first place... A few suggestions on perks:

-If it is figured out how to do this, reset everyone's perks just once.
-When selecting perks, you are asked to confirm, while being asked to confirm it tells you what the perk does
-Multiple journal entries so that you can open up read up on perks from your journal

Journal entry gets updated when you hit the next option in dialogue.

Oh, I didn't know that. Nevermind about that part, then.
