About starting new characters...


(legend123) #1

Okay so I have my main character at level 20 and have played a few hours after that.

I have heard that there are some problems when starting a new character.
For example: the voice overrides the first character.

So basically my question is there any problems when creating a second character?

not that I’ve encountered. I’ve got 3 characters going at the moment… a 20, 15 and a 01 that I have yet to start leveling the 3rd (just setup the outfits and weapon attachments).

Today I was playing with the weapon options of my first character (revolution), und suddenly he was changed to the revolution version of my second character, which is normaly from the security.
I am really POd I don`t want to start a new charakter, to get it back. Where is the reason to build so many versions of characters, if bugs make them look all the same?

Your new character will have the correct voice and look as long as it loads properly. A laggy connection will cause it to show and sound like your original character by default, until the next map loads. Once the next map loads fully, you will be playing your new character and sound. I have entered laggy rooms where every character looked like my character! It is a latency issue that goes away once you play consecutive matches. The gears of war 3 beta had a similar issue if you were entering a match that was already started and laggy, your load out would be incorrect.

Character appearence -> big button top-right to switch between sec. and guest view.
You can set up appearences for both teams on one character.

He’s right. Sometimes in Brink your character won’t be your character. If you drop out to 3rd person while capturing an objective you might noticed your toon isn’t the guy you designed. Once you die and respawn you should respawn as your guy.

Gears had the same issue. I used Augustus Cole, but i’d join a match and be Marcus. Again fixed upon death and respawn.

That`s right and you can have a look at the differences of sec/rev weapons on the same way, as I did before this stupid bug happened.
But if your big afro character has suddenly the appearance of the revolution version of your japanese character, then there is something broken. I have now twice the same charakter (except experience etc) it is like the two versions of the character standing next to each other, which you would normally see if you switch the mentioned button.
