OK – thanks, Erwin for putting together these lists, and Kvetch, for setting the Trainers in OLC.
I think that even the players, who were against this change to start with, have come to realize that the new system actually encourages exploring, which after all is what 4D basically is about. I’ve come to realize myself, that publishing the names of the zones and Trainers actually will encourage this exploring too. Without any detailed info, some players will just give up and sit at Recall whining about things being too hard and intimidating. Knowing the name of the zone and the Trainer gives you a specific goal to look for. And hopefully, once you’ve managed to seek a trainer out in a specific zone that you never visited before, at least some of you might realize that there are a lot more interesting things in this game than just killing the same mobs in the same few zones over and over for experience.
I’ve made a total list of all the trainers, based on the original helpfile list and Erwin’s new lists. A few of the skills/ spells have been removed from it, since they didn’t make sense to us ICly, (above all the Grocers and Bakers getting detect poison). I’ve also added a few skills and spells that seemed natural to me).
I’ll publish this list on a new thread, to make it easier to find.
The list is set up after the system Dimension – Zone – Location – Mob Name. This means that you’ll have to look a bit to find a specific skill, but it still provides very good info for those who care to read.
Two more things:
1. Eventually we’ll also publish the list on the Main Website, but not quite yet.
First I want as many as possible to check it out and see if some of the trainers don’t make sense, or if we’ve missed something in the process. In both cases , please post corrections and additions on this thread, not the new one.
2. I know that we decided not to post any info about the Trainers for Behead and Cleave, but I’ve started to think that this is a mistake. My personal belief is that we should at least post the name of the zone where these trainers are. I’d like some input on this from as many players as possible, feel free to set up a poll if you like
