I.
CHARACTER SETUP SCREEN
This page
will briefly address the character setup process,
and various elements of said screen.
The above
image has been labeled with numbers for each section
of the interface to make it easier for you to find
each section referred to in the text. However, your
screen will not show the same colors as in this
image. We have color-coded each area of the image to
help identify the number and the section it refers
to.
1. Class Selection
- This section shows the possible classes you can
play. They are divided into two teams, the Chosen
and the Order. As you highlight a class, a
description of it appears in the right half of the
screen. As you click on a class, a set of
specifications for it will appear in section 3,
where you can change the details as you wish. Note:
This section is NOT for selecting the class you are
going to play, it is to set the specific
characteristics for ALL of your classes. In the
game, you will be able to choose to play any of
these classes, and switch between them when you wish
during game play.
2. Changing Your Name
- This is the mysterious
ominous place for you to specify your name, that
will be viewed by others in-game, to change your
name, simply click where it says (Player),
delete that, and proceed to enter your own name.
Note: The name you select will be the same for each
class, the only way to play with a different name is
to use a separate profile.
3. Customizing Your Details
- This is pretty simple, simply click on the plus or
minus arrows to add points to each section, the
points you have to distribute are limited, and it
tells you how many remaining points you have to
distribute. You can specify a different layout of
DETAILS for each class.
4. Skills Available
- This lists the skills
available to the currently selected class.
5. Using Predefined
Sub-Classes - These
are ready to go, predefined layouts for DETAILS, you
do not need to set these, if you click on one of
these it will switch your DETAILS layout to the
predefined one.
6. Arms Available
- This tells you which weapons are currently
available to the selected class respective to your
DETAILS layout.
II. USING
PROFILES
If you plan on
using various profiles, you will need to go to the
(Profile) tab PRIOR to creating a DETAILS
layout.
Then click
(Create), enter a name for this profile (this
is not the name that will appear in-game),
click ok, then move over to the (Character Setup)
tab and layout your details. You do not need to load
a profile when you re-launch PURGE in the future,
unless you wish to switch. To load a profile, click
on the profile you wish to use, then click (Load).
Each profile saves your customized attributes for
all 8 playable classes.
You **cannot** change
these attributes DURING game play,
you must abort the game and go to the character
setup screen, this was a design decision made to
prevent people from a) changing their character
setup in mid game and b) to prevent people from
taking up server resources when they aren't playing.
Each profile
also saves a separate player name, and all key
bindings. Profiles are designed not just to allow
you to have different configurations, but to allow
multiple players to share one computer with Purge.
