For heavens sake!! Write somewhere (in the FAQ for example) that the skill point gain is based on experience! This is HUGE, and it's not an obvious thing!

Had I known I wouldn't have been so desperate for cash now. Also I wouldn't have so crappy skills and equipment, and most importantly I wouldn't have accumulated two false accusations in my desperation to earn more cash and skill points.

Now I have about 1500 bucks. I need about 10k to get rid of my false accusations. Also the only piece of equipment I *ever* bought with this character is a snub nosed revolver for 3k. You can do the maths yourself. I'm devastated because I didn't know that skill points were xp generated..

:'(

Fortunately I'm no quitter and I will get back up. But I am severely pissed off that I got here in the first place.

And to reply to your comment " Yes. Amazing. I assume you didn't use the search function to find them."

Actually I did use the search box to find them...all I did was type in *skill points* and I came up with tons of things!

Actually we can't chance the FAQ's page, only Admin can, so you really shold stop telling us that "we" need to change it because WE can't do anything about it!

Yes. Tons. That I still had to read through to find the info. And I started reading, but after a while I had to quit because it was taking too long.

I clicked on the first one that it came up with, and it came up with one from R Anstett that clearly gives the answer, so I didn't need ot search through tons of them.

Ok. The next time I need to find something on the boards I'm gonna drop you a line because your search skills are obviously much better than my own. You little blood hound, you.

Oh by the way Fionn, I know Stooby didnt mean anything negative and was really just trying to help you, as others who have posted on the board. And about the FAQ, it would really be hard updating it to compile and gather ALL relevant information in the game. The Welcome Newbies thread is an attempt by the users to compile all this stuff and judging from what has been gathered since, I know it would be a headache for one person to go through it all, 'update' it and repost it. It really isnt anybody's fault that there isnt a 'Complete' FAQ thread out there.

Yeah, most of us dont have the threaddigging skills up to par as some others. Just enough reason for us to polish it during times when we are out of cases and bored. =)

Well this thread should act as a flag to all lol! Poitning out the fact that skill poitns are based on experience gained. I still say as your are subbed join an agency, they are often extraordianrily helpful and freindly.

And I think certian points are kept out of the offial FAQ so as to leave a bit of mystery in the game, after all it is a game about detectives...

So.. you're saying.. what? That the info shouldn't go into the FAQ? I don't get it. If there are people with an unlimited amount of time they can spend reading the boards why can't someone just copy paste any questions into a document that whoever does the FAQ can easily copy paste into the it? I'm not trying to put blame on anyone, for Christ's sake. I'm just saying "this information should be easily aquired". And the general response I get at the boards, in chat and in sleuth mail is "You're wrong. We're right. Learn to read. Learn to walk. Wipe your donkey. Search the boards". Man.. I might be a loud mouth, but honest to God I wasn't attacking anyone in particular. I was just shouting out my opinion. And you keep arguing against it? Am I not entitled to it? Is it that much to ask to have that information in the FAQ? Where on earth do I sign up to put it there myself?

You don't have to answer that last question because I already got an email adress sent to me.

But save your strength 'til when I start shouting names. Until then it's not personal.
