Re: A discussion about bringing 1-2 shot kills to IR
Janitors are currently fun to kill. They take more than 1-2 kills shots (usually the same time as an IR NPC) but they do not attack you. So, in similar spirit: Create "Sweeper" NPCs: These boxes sweep floor items. They do not pop items like their bigger cousins, the Janitors, they instead ...

Re: A discussion about bringing 1-2 shot kills to IR
I wouldn't want the 1-2 shotters to get in the way of what IR brings to the table; advanced game play. So, if even ONE local shows up then the 1-2 shotters should die (no drops) or run off. This also would mean that if you are travelling between rooms and the shotters following/harassing you, that t...

A discussion about bringing 1-2 shot kills to IR
Opening a discussion to bring some 1-2 shot kills to IR (and maybe SK). Primarily IR though, so that game play becomes faster and more addictive like Nork, Aleria, and Cobrahn. A few ideas to feed the satisfaction/addiction (each idea can be combined) are: 1) Bring Nork/Aleria level creatures to IR ...

Re: What is the "Invader's Refuge"?
Thanks. If you start dropping a lot more items in IR then sack space might need some attention too. And since I doubt that larger sacks or additional sacks are on the table, I was thinking about how to conserve space. Your NL youth pot quester "Youpor" inspired me... Distiller : A new IR q...

Re: What is the "Invader's Refuge"?
Two new quests: The first transforms your weapon specializations into an "arcane" one. It should be your class trainer (if they are added to IR near its initial entry point) otherwise a new "Arcania" questor will need to be added. The second is a complex questor, which will "...

Brad, You have asked us to supply ideas for items and quests, but I do not know the reason Invader's Refuge exists. Who are these invaders? Where do they come from? What is it they are fleeing?

Scrolling back up to see a missed message is slow and cumbersome; as is scrolling back down to current messages, once you have scrolled up. Can we have a resizable message window?

You didn't have to read beyond the first paragraph. I stated so and why I concluded wrongly. But, if you want conclusions without evidence then you got it.

Re: Traps vs Corpses
I just re-tested Refuge traps. I had made the assumption (in my original post) that since I saw some XP floating by, that the NPCs had also died. However, this was an incorrect conclusion - I earned XP from the activation of the trap, not from a kill. <Stop here if not interested in how I used the t...

Re: Thieves should be able to keep up with NPCs
I still lose Refuge NPCs while they are under the influence of Blade of Deceit (BoD). It is because of so many Refuge corners and the many minutes it takes the thief to kill an NPC. Even with the reduced movement rate they can still move 3 hexes in a round, so... Hallways with corners: They move out...

What I find good about the scenario: That we have new maps, NPCs, and content. That you can build your armor from parts. That we have new weapons, that scale. That we have other new gear, with tiers and stats. The Silver areas (nicely balanced, for both solo or party). The Gold floor (balanced for p...

Berserk Icon - Adding Zerk State
It would be great if the berserk icon told you its state, in a tool tip; when you moved your mouse over it. Other icons tell you how long it is until they expire, in a tool tip, so this could be easy. Currently, berserk can change state without you ever knowing, because NPCs can calm the Barbarian. ...
