Andor's Trail, thoughts of a newbie

I believe the "too many words"...

True, there's a different answer: searching for highscore => too common words

We have all had to grope our way through the dark sections... Kazaul spawns were placed...

Sure, but staying for 10min or so in complete darkness is absolutely frustrating. IMO it shouldn't be necessary to look up the forum to get a solution. Before I looked into the forum I didn't know the stone trick since I didn't know how to drop items. It didn’t occur to me to press long on an item. Sure the Kazaul spawns will eventually help but they are too few too far away located. As soon as a Kazaul spawn is visible it's possible to "see" if one is moving. Doubling the spawns will help a lot.

...abbreviations such as lol ...

No, these can be looked up on wikipedia or else. I mean the abbreviations in the game forums. E.g. what means "RoLS 4; RoL 2; ElyR 4; ChaR 9; GoLF 4; ShaF 4 Shadow Regeneration, SP: 1:WA,Cleave,CE,Ev,SM,EB,PB; 2:HH,BS,MC,BC,CS,QL,IF,Regen,MF" in your signature?

for searches try using a plus symbol (+) in front of specific words...
sometimes, its the only way to get results.

the acronyms are rare items, and the lists is here (abbreviations included)

(example: RoLS = Ring of Lesser Shadow)

the rest are all skills & pretty self explanatory.
IF = Increased Fortitude, CE = Corpse Eater, etc.
usually just using the first letters in multi-word skill names.

Exactly this is the problem I guess. If you play the game in an other language than English the skills & items are named different. Corpse eater for example is "Leichenesser" in German. There is absoutely no way of guessing the correct abbreviation.

[Note to myself: Maybe we schould discuss this problem in the translation thread]

Didn't you read my previous post?

Second how the signature should be formatted for the highscore should be documented anyhow. I had to look for "highscore" (=> too many words), then reading through several pages to figure it out somehow. Probably best would be a sticky thread or simply put a sample signature into it (values=??).

Third abbreviations should be documented anywhere (=> sticky thread).

Both is documented in the highscore topic itself: (first post)
