SYSOLMS that wipe out about 4 screen lines. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: WOWW Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 18:21 EST Well, sometimes the SAME music over and over, can get on my nerves, but I just turn off the volume, the problem with that is that I can't here the other sound effects. It would be nice to have a way to turn off JUST the music , if there isn't already a way. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: LynnS6 Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 19:22 EST . The time it takes to change screens, and not being able to get mail from other parts of the system... . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Soundman Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 19:41 EST I dislike the time it takes to get from region to region , I find it hard to find to much wrong with Hab :) I used to say it was boring until this past weekend and A lot of people were there :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Caterwaul Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:02 EST People who take the game too seriously.. And the fact that not everyone can win at the rally's.. <Kinda disappointing when you've spent 8 hours on an adventure only to find out someone was there before you..> . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Eric Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:16 EST . Teleports... it would be great if you could get in a teleport and type in the Region #. Even if it was expensive. . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Bonnie Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:40 EST : The dirty tricks..the avatar vs avatar : If I knew there would be dangers, I'd be prepared..but I don't enjoy being taken by surprize.. : There was a very chillng sight at my HabiWedding..an Avatar with a skull head and a gun that unghosted and said DEATH. Yech..I prefer the violence free zones..so I can CHOOSE where and when I want *excitement*. : - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Chameleon Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:49 EST The fiddling around necessary to put away something you don't need at the moment and get out an item you DO need. If you carry around more than 5 things, it can get very involved. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Mysterio Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:00 EST What annoys me most about Habitat may seem petty to you....but I don't like the way you manipulate the objects in your pockets. I hate having to stick something on the ground, "do it" and then put something in that...and so on.. if your pockets are full, and you have a container, a "put" should put said object in the container....if there is room. All the juggling irritates me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: SkyLine Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:17 EST There's really nothing I can actually say I -dislike-. I do think there could be a little more efficient control over one's Avatar. I find it occasionally annoying to have to go through many repetitive motions for relatively simple tasks. Taking an item like a bag out of pocket, and getting another item from the bag, can be more time consuming than traveling several regions. If this qualifies as a "dislike", it would probably be my pet peeve. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Del March Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:34 EST I dislike the sluggishness that occurs when a region gets crowded. At times, it can be VERY frustrating waiting for another avatar's action to be completed. . I also dislike the frequency that I find myself "waiting". It's annoying that very few things can occur simultaneous- ly. . Also the fact that some things cannot be done together at all is irritating. Eg.: walking and ESPing, ghosting and ESPing, ghosting and F7ing, etc. . And again, the awkwardness of some of the avatar's movements is detracting. Not being able to pass a tree because it's *slightly* in front of me is a good example. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: DragonFyre Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:46 EST I think I said before, I really can't think of anything that I don't like about it... - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Cimaron Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:52 EST It's so slow. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Gary M Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:01 EST . The SYSOLMS are the worse, other than that.. nothing else is major. . The non-scrolling can be a problem if yo are getting esped from many... you can't scroll back to see what on said. . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Becky Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:02 EST . Other than the SYSMessages?? :D . Nope...Not other than! That's IT! I fail to find words that are printable about my feelings on Sysmessages... . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: John Apple Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:34 EST The fact that there is no way to leave things for people and be sure they get it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Ks Lass Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:41 EST Habitat had no set goals for the characters. Once you've wandered around the areas, there isn't much else to do. It also takes a lot of time to "treasure hunt" and for those who will be paying to play, it may require to much time to get any effect from Habitat. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Cornelius Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:45 EST systemwide messages which clutter the screen, break the mood, and make other messages (ESP/TALK) scroll off screen. . Time outs (should be like PC) it is hard to have to Deghost in time after getting a warning if you have to go to another region (rule of 7) and the system is slow so that you can move and deghost in time before TIME OUT. Also, it is annoy- ing to have to quit mail writing in order to avoid time out. . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Cornelius Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:49 EST ..also dislike thefts, violence, and trash. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Kelly Daze Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:29 EST Slow... And after you've explored your turf and town...there isnt much left..but then ...I'm not really an 'adventure gamer' - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: CLB Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:31 EST the time lost in disk accessing - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Og1 Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:45 EST . Not being able to contact the rest of Q . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Sky Dragon Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:48 EST The thing I dislike the most is that it takes so long to go anywhere. even a simple cross-town walk turns into a major effort, when it takes so long to get from one region to another. very involved adventures are out of the question, if I'm paying 8 cents a minute. . if the places of interest were closer together, or if the adventures were shorter range (so I had to walk only a dozen regions instead of a hundred), this wouldn't be a problem. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: RAOULTFOOL Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:59 EST Nobody to play with... Need more people.... I always have lots more fun when more people are on.... - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Elven Mist Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 00:08 EST I dislike the slowness, mostly... ESPECIALLY when there are a few people in the same reigon with you. I also dislike the limitations that ARE there. Habitat has given me a taste of some NICE things, but it doesn't go far enough..... I feel my appitite is wheted nicely, but I am left somewhat unsatisfyed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: CrusRabbit Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 00:28 EST Rather slow even at 1200. Much too sensitive other software/hard ware. Makes it a hassle and a limitation to use. Won't run on a SX. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: celebrindl Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 01:16 EST Long loading times for some areas and the extreme slow down in crowded places. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: AGGIE Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 03:16 EST Limited colors or clothing changes. One room 'turfs' - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: THE WALL Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 03:43 EST The disk access time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: JoeyT1 Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 18:33 EST I dont like not having many people on - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Greg P Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 19:50 EST Disk drive access - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Aelora Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 21:22 EST 1. the concept of weapons, hence the concept of a weapon-free zone. 2. speed problems 3. crashes that shouldn't happen 4. clunky interface to the other parts of QLink - the ones that could have been fixed or prevented with proper design <you can tell this one is a big gripe with me - I dislike having to constantly be aware of the fact that data is going back and forth, wondering if it's getting there OK> - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: Paul H Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 21:42 EST . Getting System messages - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: ICwhatUmin Date: Thursday 24-Dec-87 18:30 EST I still dislike the cursor system. All my pervious comments still apply. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq5 Mail From: QZOOKEEPER Date: Friday 25-Dec-87 16:21 EST slowness, makes communication difficult. Also I'm bored with it - - - - - - - - - - - - -
