Re: Losing Brew Skill somehow

In the past I have lost brew skill due to enchants, imbues and eats. Possibly even slith took some.

Re: outer bandit lord key fustration

The drop rates are fine on things like bloods, wings. Really doesn't take long in the scheme of time spent in game. I agree with Volcoms sentiment. There does seem to be a lets make things easier as its something I need attitude. For many years people have done just fine with rates as they are. Bloo...

Re: outer bandit lord key fustration

If the door is closed it's not really possible to do aggressive play as the number of enemies and their regeneration is low. On a positive note, this key is so rare that it is highly prized item. That being the case I am not so sure it should be made too much easier to find. Perhaps make more zoo ou...

Re: outer bandit lord key fustration

This key has always been very rare. A member of my guild once spent five days of grinding just to find his own key with a max MA. Somewhat strangely also drops off crits after door.

Re: Guardian tier

You can command the guardian to attack, can't remember the command #pet attack <crit> or something. But its pretty useless. The guardians are practically killed in one hit anywhere they may be useful. They used to be good when you could summon multiple gaurdians which would act as decoys but that wa...

Re: Proposed Idea, change in death penalty

I like Nikos' idea too. I still think that the loss of items should be a possibility. Yes loosing items can be annoying and frustrating but really what is the point in playing a game if there is no risk?

Re: Proposed Idea, change in death penalty

None of the above! I always found some level of getting gear back really fun. It has always been part of drakkar that when attempting a hard or new lair you risked a lot. This risk reward equation provided a lot of the games character. It is only correct that those willing to risk most, hp, skill, e...

Re: An appeal to Brad and sysops

I think part of the problem with solo only areas is that essentially they just become places that are easy for parties. Perhaps if a solo area was such that it's difficulty was adjusted for party size. For example maybe have some of the following, 1. Enemies get enraged by the size of the party and ...

Re: Allied Aversion

In reply to Bartosh, I really do think that for regular discs sufficient gearing of party members together with quirked fireprot should make hunting safe enough. I think this is just part of the risk rewards equation. That is fire is risky but the pace of exp makes it worth it. In reply to Terrel, I...

Re: Allied Aversion

There are ways of adjusting to the 90% effectiveness of allied aversion. I find that if you dance and actively try to hit creatures outside a 3x3 (Tempuric storms) area then for the most part you can avoid killing self and party members too often. Also it helps if party members carry some kind of cr...

Re: SDC 2 Feedback

Increasing the size, I was also thinking this. 1 party can easily outkill the entire level... so really this place only supports 2 parties... 1 up and 1 down.. I agree with this. Also the regeneration of enemies on both levels being linked because they are actually the same level is awkward. If a s...

The regen is still messed up, if you are killing in the first bit of cave, the zoo begins to accumilate at the climb up cave area. It would be good if these two areas had independant zoo generation. Also with the amount of nuggets required and the limited drop rate and spawn of elders, i would like ...

Re: SDC 2 Feedback

Hunting areas with more than one thief is near impossible due to party exp changes. Creatures you target roam and you end up with no exp. Could the party range be increased in this area to allow thief partying?

Re: NL Cost vs use. lvl 50? rethink that maybe

One of the main reasons why soloing as a ment is impractical is due to ep limitations. Fixing the deplete bug could help with this.

Re: NL Cost vs use. lvl 50? rethink that maybe

Regardless of the relative merits of level restricting areas should we not look on a more practical basis of whether or not these changes have actually increased players and or enhanced player retention. As far as I can tell they have not, in fact may well have done the opposite. This suggests somet...

Re: f/m issues

Alternatively the skill 32 bonus could be changed to something else. After all deplete isnt really needed when we have as a Disc and leech quirks give ep back anyway.

As it stands the skill 32 bonus is not a bonus but a penalty.

why should it be any easier for anyone else? The normal progression of all online games is that it is easier for those who do it later.
