Re: Lair Exp and New Players

My take:... My suggestion would be to keep it really simple. I'll have to go through the list of lairs, but yes - award a percentage of experience to next level for a one time award on a lair kill. I wouldn't even bother assigning a level range for each lair, just tie down the awards to a narrow pa...

Lair Exp and New Players

I had an idea on how to keep new players invested in their characters and in exploring the entire game. How about if each "lair" gave a one time BIG exp payout to characters, provided the lair wasn't damaged by a character say, ____ levels higher than the players in the PJ? (fill in the bl...

Re: GAME DIRECTION?

That's pretty well said yohon. I would be marginally embarrassed to invite some of my friends to try this game, to convince them it was worth sticking out and then to say well, you're going to have to grind at this for at least 6 months before you can even think about spending "quality" ti...

Re: GAME DIRECTION?

I think that there is a fundamental flaw to the "logic" that everyone is trying to inject into the conversation. Leeching is not the problem and I'll explain why; leechers are the symptom of the underlying problem, that many areas of the game are mind numbingly boring. Cobrahn can be large...

Re: Player Discussion Thread

... and to be honest I am not sure that I want to do the grind all over again. There's no way I'd do it again. At the rate I can play (between family and full time work) it would take me a few years to get my level 21 thief to level 25. That's just not going to happen, so I don't need to maintain a...

Re: Quirk System Not working

It has been level restricted to a certain degree. My mentalist used to gain quirks at a reasonable rate prior to completing the primal quest 7 months ago. Since then, I've gained approximately 120 quirks and I don't gain quirks anywhere except GDH/SDC. I don't even gain quirks killing in Mormar. Bas...

Re: Player Discussion Thread

Personally I am not a fan of the current incarnation of line of sight killing. I would prefer a more complex one which assesses danger, However should it stay in its current form, one additional change to help would be to make allied aviodance for ments be 100% effective. I used to make sure that i...

Re: NL post patch movement issue

Interestingly enough, Popcorn's movement is back to 4. I mass teleported with my ment down to M25 (i first did a list stats, showed a movement of 4) and then immediately mass teleported to the grain healer. I issued another list stats immediately and my mentalist now has a movement of 1 (and it's st...

Re: NL post patch movement issue

At the time it happened I had no coins in sack or in hands. No weights on the encumbrance scale. I know there are areas where there is movement restrictions, but pathways and in the town of homlet aren't places I have ever experienced single hex movement while lightly encumbered. Aside from the few ...

Re: NL post patch movement issue

I can move normally again this morning as well. I logged out and in several times last night with no change to my movement rate, but this morning I can move normally in Dornar and all other areas. It's entirely possible that some other area, condition or event caused the initial hampered movement, I...

NL post patch movement issue

I noticed that hampered movement seems to follow players when they leave dornar; I could walk unimpeded along paths and in Homlet, until I went to Dornar. Now, I have a movement of one anywhere in NL, all the time. Is this expected?

Re: Discussion Thread

My two sense: I've played the game on and off for several years, and I find the only reason I play with any consistency now, is due to a handful of players who have stuck it out for the same length of time or longer. I enjoy their company, and I also enjoy helping new people with the game. I do it p...

What I'd like to see is the ability to set traps with a specific trigger: TRAP WEST ORC ...might lay down the trap in hand that will only be triggered by the next orc to step on it.
