The Kingdom of Drakkar

OK, then why I have been seeing it ? Even saw it the other day on skill 39 hally.

Lev 78, 40 + agil, weapon skill for jarred weapon over 35 skill...

By the way, it would sure be nice if there was a Bank near the seller in sdc2.

A new locker there would also be most welcome.

I am trying to remember to go and open the doors each week after the reset. It took me awhile to get my set of keys, but I think i got the non-quest key after a total of 6 hours spread over the course of a month. Not positive, but I think it dropped for me off an Icebandit - the rarest of the normal...

Pretty sad that the Barb class, left hand axe only inflicts damage when using it in Left hand during basic "attack" approx 33% of the time. Does not swing for damage at all while in Left Hand on "charge", or berserk out of control rounds, and guessing the same for riposte's. Woul...

I've noticed an annoying situation that doesnt make sense. I've been experiencing "hands are jarred" message alot lately while using my GS, mace, dagger -- all having over skill 30. I see it most in SDC, but have also seen it in mormar, sdc2, and crazy aleria. I was at Froth at the time. S...

A Barbarian using MA skill (nothing in main weapon hand) still appears to not be receiving the benefits from advanced skill (over skill 30). I do not see the increased "zerk" rounds at 36 skill - and it did not appear to be getting the penetrating thru deflects at 35 skill. I do see the in...

Call me crazy --- but does it seem to other players that the overall drop rate is different (higher) when in a party of 3 or more ?

It sure seems like the drop rate has changed (decreased) during the last 3 years, for NL items.

In response to MartialArts: I'm guessing that the killer weapon upgrade from +10 to 12 is an attempt to restore a little bit of that elusive, mythical, "class balance" that may have been perceived to have swung a bit too far towards MA's, and away from the other Hitter classes. I've only g...

Is the exp needed for level 79 & 80 ridiculous ? 330 billion for lev 79, xxxx billion for lev 80. One of our guildies grunted morning and nite to get to 79, only to get burned out and leave the game. The rest of us KAM-mies have concerns... Is SDC2 the place where players go to "just fade a...

As a big Barb, I am also why the barb battle spam doesnt become more under control too.

Hard to see who the dead squishy in the party is with all the Barb spam.

Any chance you are being "charmed" - like the Blobs on UD5 ?

I know they can make you do odd things with weapon / belt.

Location of where this is happening might help.

I do not play a Healer; but I think a mid 30's healer that can survive an area - and is the only healer in the party - deserves a full share of anything gained. (ie 4 of us kam-mies last week working our way down from mormar 2 to 11 - carefully, but yet successfully... a lev 56 barb, lev 56 MA, 34 H...

OK, time to bring up something that's going on that I think is wrong, and at one time was enforced as a violation of the Player Code of Conduct -- the use of ANY external program that allows 1 person to play multiple characters at once. I am not talking about the ability to access more than 1 game a...

will locker it for you - shoot a DZ pm to Skip.

Just fount climbing spike at NL locker, and Improved Sabre at Jil's, just before the weekly reset (Sunday Morning).

Shoot me a PM if yours.

I just noticed that Dragon Laughter - a MA class quirk - hits back at an unseen bad guy. I was in Aleria with my lev 27 MA, and was killing Scouts that were hiding 4 hex away from me. Retaliation if a fine thing, but striking back against an unseen opponent might be over the top. ~ Skip/Buzz__KAM ~

Not sure that new zerk message really means anything when it comes to actual skill. Here's what I see for the "Skill" listing part of Zerk up line message: Nothing in hand = 0 Skill I have 35 MA skill. Gauntlets in hand = 8 Skill Mace = 5 I have 35 mace skill. Halberd = 15 I have 38 halber...

I think the game would be better if a character's current "offensive" and "defensive" numbers were listed on the paper doll window. This would help out the new players alot - to get some sense of what their gear & weapon were doing. It would also help in getting a clearer bas...

Ahhh the pain, the struggle . . . How some things change and how alot of things remain the same. Have ya ever heard about the first successful Slicer hunt on MPGN drakkar back at christmastime 1995 ? It took over 6 hours, and musta been over 30 of us helping at one time or another. The following yea...

I was not testing the "to hit" or "to damage" on boots. Just the damage output from "nork" type of boots, and it appears there is NO difference in damage output from my testing using "kick". I have not run any comparative tests on Cobrahn, NL, GDH, and BDC boo...

Lemme tell you a story... Once upon a time, us Barbarians that had primary Halberd skill discovered we could not damage Chipper and Snowbeast - so we developed MA skill. Then we discovered that at full zerk, we had better defense in KM-4 & km-5 using MA skill and shield, compared to using a Fire...

I'd love to be able to equip them currently-MA-only Rift gaunts... Bet my Barb with 35 MA skill might come closer to the damage output of an MA ;> Til then, can only hope for some better damage gaunts for us Non-MA's in SDC. But I'm also glad the Pally's got shown some love with the 31+ ablilities. ...

I am not impressed by Barb 31+ abilities. Cleave is pretty much a joke - since it does not have a system defined quickbar icon to show when its available for use. And it has a poor chance "to hit". I'd like to see fury round Barbarians get a "new target lock" for stuff they kill ...

10% and 250 megs would be a nice buffer, especially for the Drain at FoodGuardian.

Sheesh - what a can of worms.... and what about the principles / questions I tried to lay out for discussion when I started this thread: 1. BDC area Encounter & rewards placed into game a year ago. Then reviewed & revised 6 months ago. Now the rewards are gonna be changed (again), but someho...
