The Newbie's Guide to zOMG

[Fr33d0m4ever]

Totally not a bump~

That banner is quite nice~ It even contains the joke~

Hmm, thinking about it, should there be a mention of a way to switch your controls? Yes, it's beyond newbie basics... but idk~

I just started playing and I would like to say: Thank you~ 3nodding

General Tips

....
3) You can tweak your options. In the game's menu, you can adjust almost everything the game does. Of particular interest are the abilities to change which keys are the hotkeys (including setting a few that don't have any default at all), and being able to reduce graphical quality to fight lag. In cases of extreme lag, try setting ring animations down to Crew Only, or perhaps even just you.

There's already enough information that some people are missing bits and pieces. Small ones, but you yourself just missed that. Adding more at this point would be counter-productive I think.

@Neklek: Happy to help.

Totally not a bump. But yes, a legit question.

Any word on this thread getting to go up on the Guides Sticky?

[HotRed_Streak]

Nooone at all. Last I heard was "We'll review it and let you know in a week or two"...when I first submitted it.

@HotRed: Certainly. ~Runs off to add to links~

I may have missed it, but a bug that I keep getting is...well, I'll change levels down, but it won't let me change back up. Anyone know why? Or how to fix it? Sorry if this was answered on the first page, I didn't see it...

Vital Stats

...
--- CL ---

In addition to the above, you're going to want to keep an eye on your OCL. Your OCL is your Overall Charge Level - how strong you are. Your health and how much some rings can affect you are decided by this, as are your loot drop rates. You can suppress your CL at will from the menu, voluntarily weakening yourself to be at the right strength for an area. Suppressing is temporary, but you can only move your CL upwards again in the Null Chamber.
...

See the bolded bit.

Edit: Failing that, log out of the game for five minutes. Your CL should shoot up again. Also, your signature...I feel I should recognize it...

Blackbird? It looks like blackbird...

[Inu_Gurrl]

Oh, I really don't know. My friend and I were just playing around on photobucket and found it.

And thank you! Five minutes, got it. ^_^

[Nespin Fernagon]

Glad to help. And, a bit of digging confirmed it. It's been too long since I read it, but the image is indeed Blackbird

I SUMMON MY OWN GUIDE TO THE FIRST PAGE! RAAWR!

[tangocat777]

Having this be one of the official guides would be desirable, yah? So many new players out there, so little learning going along. By the way, I'm gonna get another chance at the photoshoot today, Nespin.
