    • PoG Poll--How many times et.al.


      I was just curious about this...well, because..that's the kind of girl I am and maybe it's just because I have no life...: )

      1.How many times have you played...

      PoG Standard?

      PoG w/ Trinity

      Spells Expander

      WoC

      DiD *yeah, I know it was just released...but I have to add it here S

      PoG w/ all of the above or some of the above.

      You can add as many details as you like about , which character you've used in playing..ie. mage, swordman...etc.

      2. What's your favorite plug-in?

      3. What's your favorite thing about PoG in general, plug-ins included?

      4.If you've used so called and aptly named "cheat" plug-ins...and or Starks walkthrough...which did you use and why?

      5.Assuming you have played "many" times...what one thing did you find that surprized or fascinated you most that you hadn't noticed in your first assuming several times you've played???

      Yes, well...I am the nosy one. (and I may just compile some data on this...well..maybe not too...but...it could happen!!) :rolleyes:

      I should qualify that I don't usually complete a game by defeating the Guardian and checking out. I simply de-activate one set of plugins and select others. I just had to go to my game folder to check. There are 165 saved games there organized by class, level, plugins activated, etc. I generally throw out about 10 to 20 game files per week after creating some more.

      PoG Standard? Probably about 10 not counting the times I went around to do the map.

      PoG w/ Trinity Too many

      Spells Expander I ran out of fingers and toes to count them on.

      WoC Only 5 or 6 since it was released - must number over 100 pre-release.

      DiD I don't dare count that one - more than everyone else put together.

      PoG w/ all of the above or some of the above. My favorite way now (with all) but add Sapphire, Mushroom Lady, and a couple more still in early testing.

      2. What's your favorite plug-in? Spells Expander because it changed my conjurer from a weakling into a strong character.

      3. What's your favorite thing about PoG in general, plug-ins included? Tough question - I guess the answer is I haven't gotten bored yet.

      4.If you've used so called and aptly named "cheat" plug-ins...and or Starks walkthrough...which did you use and why? I generally dislike cheat plugins, but they come in handy when you have to beef up a character for testing purposes. The Walkthrough wasn't written yet when I started so, other than a contribution to it here and there, I haven't had a lot of reason to use it. It is a great reference manual. Maybe someday it will be totally accurate. (hint, hint, Stark 😛 )

      5.Assuming you have played "many" times...what one thing did you find that surprized or fascinated you most that you hadn't noticed in your first assuming several times you've played??? The number of errors the producers let go - I know this was not the fault of the testers, they submitted the corrections necessary and nobody took the responsibility of seeing that the corrections were made.

      I don't know how many will take the time to answer this. It seems like there were a lot more active players six months ago. Maybe some will come back now that there are more plugins to liven the game up. Good luck with your survey. ~RD

      Whadda you mean? This isn't my life? (Course that's in about two years of playing.)

    • 1.How many times have you played...

      PoG Standard? A few years back, before any plugins,before I had even registered (oy...), time after time after time.

      PoG w/ Trinity? As frequently as StarCraft (what can I say? I'm addicted)

      Spells Expander? I installed Spells Expander the same time as Trinity so see above

      WoC? Dunno... great plug though

      DiD *yeah, I know it was just released...but I have to add it here S? Lots so far (once again, great job RD!)

      PoG w/ all of the above or some of the above? Just combine the above answers

      You can add as many details as you like about , which character you've used in playing..ie. mage, swordman...etc.

      2. What's your favorite plug-in? I have no idea

      3. What's your favorite thing about PoG in general, plug-ins included? That it's great.

      4.If you've used so called and aptly named "cheat" plug-ins...and or Starks walkthrough...which did you use and why? Gold of course, simply cuz one can never have enough, also the one that gives filters of healing.

      5.Assuming you have played "many" times...what one thing did you find that surprized or fascinated you most that you hadn't noticed in your first assuming several times you've played??? Uhh... I'm not surprised by much, but I rather liked the Uniques (Daemon Kobolds, Killer Ookwasps).

    • 1.How many times have you played...

      PoG Standard? Only a couple times, Trinity came out soon after I registered.

      PoG w/ Trinity? Many, lets leave it at that 🙂

      Spells Expander? At least once for every alpha/beta build and a few after it's release.

      WoC? Played it during the beta, but strangely haven't gone back to it again yet.

      DiD *yeah, I know it was just released...but I have to add it here S: See answer for SE, though I havent yet played through the full plugin after release, only the beta builds.

      PoG w/ all of the above or some of the above? I generally play with Trinity and SE since they combine to make the game much more interesting.

      You can add as many details as you like about , which character you've used in playing..ie. mage, swordman...etc. : I've used and beaten the game with all the characters, but I never liked using conjuror until SE came along. He's now my favorite character though 😉

      2. What's your favorite plug-in? SE, but you've obviously got to have Trinity for that to work 😉

      3. What's your favorite thing about PoG in general, plug-ins included? It's expandable and there are some really imaginative plugin writers here. Other similar games (ie Diablo) keep you on the same course, but this one can be changed extensively.

      4.If you've used so called and aptly named "cheat" plug-ins...and or Starks walkthrough...which did you use and why? Well, several cheat plugins sadly ( 😛 ) didn't work on PC when I started playing, so I never really used them. Starks walkthrough was kinda useful to learn things I didn't know, eg the Spirit of Nature. I did use one cheat a little bit, I think it was called Ultima. It gave you a godly set of armor and weapon, the sort of thing that could take out a Sea Giant in a hit or two, but I only used it for a bit of fun after I'd already finished the game.

      5.Assuming you have played "many" times...what one thing did you find that surprised or fascinated you most that you hadn't noticed in your first assuming several times you've played??? Hmmm, not sure. I can't remember too well about when I started playing, so this is kind of a toughie then.

      Whew, that took longer than my average post 🙂 When do we get your answers, MyzDefy? 😉

    • _1.How many times have you played...

      PoG Standard?_ Before registering, too many. After registering, 0.

      PoG w/ Trinity: Three plus a few files that got killed within 15 minutes

      Spells Expander: Once I think (does it end for a ranger after you complete the quest to kick out the bandits?

      WoC: Still working on it so 0

      DiD : See above

      PoG w/ all of the above or some of the above: See above (but I have completed sapphire)

      You can add as many details as you like about , which character you've used in playing..ie. mage, swordman...etc.: Okay. Ranger is the one that I've played the most. The others, I only began not too long ago

      2. What's your favorite plug-in? DiD and Sapphire. I think that I would like SE if I played it with my conjuror file. I keep getting killed on Rock island in WoC, so i'd like that if I had a stronger hero.

      3. What's your favorite thing about PoG in general, plug-ins included? Expandability

      4.If you've used so called and aptly named "cheat" plug-ins...and or Starks walkthrough...which did you use and why? No cheat plugins, but I have used Stark's walkthrough when I got stuck

      5.Assuming you have played "many" times...what one thing did you find that surprized or fascinated you most that you hadn't noticed in your first assuming several times you've played??? N/A

      Perhaps I should put the words, "Don't Panic" on the cover.

    • PoG Standard: Only once, but I saved just before entering the Guardian's chamber and I've played that game over several times.

      PoG w/Trinity: Too many.

      PoG w/Trinity and Spells Expander: about 5.

      WoC: Can't say I finished it, because I haven't found the last spell (I have Shock Sphere, Ice blast, and Blazing inferno).

      DiD: Once (I went back to my saved game and did it again, though).

      Favorite Plug-In?: I like Trinity, SE, and The Mushroom Lady.

      Don't use cheats unless I have to.

      Favorite Class: Conjurer, but Ranger when I use a little plugin I cooked up call Potions Expander. It just adds a few simple ranger potions, and I don't intend to release it.

      I didn't know what to put
      here, so I just put this
      down.

      As you said...it's a long post...maybe I should wait till the thread dies out and they'll be enough answers close to mine that I can just cut n paste 😄 Actually...I've never counted most of this stuff...was just curious...and it is giving me ideas about what people like/dislike for something I want to do in the future. 🙂
