The Kingdom of Drakkar

Current game changes were triggered by a breakdown in formulae that started presenting issues in sdc2, and only reached a tipping point in Sullen Keep. And now those same changes are having ripple effects through virtually every level band in the game since GDH and have important implications for ba...

Never said healers were useless. Haven't given a single piece of feedback on Sullen Keep. Seriously, take your grudge elsewhere. It does not sound like a grudge. This is a subforum and thread are for Sullen Keep. Darge is not in Sullen Keep. I do not think so. Max has 4 healer of 85+ exp levels in ...

I'm not here to debate you, I'm here to explain to Brad what healers need to be an engaging and effective class, regardless of the broken state of the content.

Save the negativity for someone who cares.

Power word heal is one of the worst spells in this game. An entire class more or less reduced to one button. Gift of healing is the current best HoT for healers and is outstripped by the party leadership ability Healthy Regen. It's a pre primal tier, and deserves a primal upgrade. At the same time, ...

Tortuous impalement is a gdh2 Era disc from the jungle bow. It was garbage then and it's garbage now. No one wants an on hit dot proc that just keeps overwriting itself instead of dealing raw damage. And while we're on the topic of weapon damage, it's a good time to mention how out of whack things h...

The class needs an upgraded version of Divergent Essence. They should also get a tier debuff to reduce the target's elemental resistances. Sk 41- The f/m can use #focus maxstrike Sk 42- The recast time on all Ankor's tiers is reduced to 4 rounds and the range on those tiers increases to 2 hexes. Sk ...

Fast scenarios are really just a bad idea for top end content, especially freshly released. Unless it was solved at some point, the double hit problem where npcs hit you at the end of a round and the beginning of a round in a fraction of a second leads to artificially inflated difficulty, which is l...

You're not going to create meaningful random loot in many cases without repairing the damage you've done with inflation in other areas. The lack of needing to gear for specific encounters isn't doing you any good in creating meaningful loot table diversity; many items are either worth wearing, or no...

Because it stops once you reach a certain agility score.

Testing vs any NPC to determine weapon penalties is a recipe for inaccuracy. What is more likely, is either that variance in NPC level caused an issue, or weapons of the same type, affect hide differently (which I'm reasonably sure I disproved to myself in my testing at some point). There are other ...

I never tested those weapons, since Brad never bothered to make viable top end weapons for those skills.

For your notes; generally speaking, thief hide in skill levels was also about equivalent to 1.5-2 levels of hide. I could not model it in any exact fashion, as there seemed to either be some variance in skill level hide bonuses (the oft rumored skills where hide receives a nonstandard bonus) or some...

The main point is, we all did it this way(those of us you don't see posting on forums for reductions.), why should it be any easier for anyone else? Agreed. Back to the days of 1% skill gains per hour, I say! :roll: NL should have provided legitimate hunting grounds for exp/skill for lvl 35's from ...

(In my post) The notation that something is off with Corspray in the mentalist section was likely not paid any attention, or couldn't be tracked down.

When the new armor degradation changes went in years back, Corspray broke.

I'm not normally for spoilers, but, good job Migam.

My take: -Define a level range to be used for lairs, showing the expected level at which a person or group would kill the lair, extending all the way down to NPC's like lizard king. Without knowing npc levels, this might be a 4 level range in either direction, ie 41-49 for a lvl 45 lair. -If the pla...

Make "insane cob" a feature of gh access (lgh or ugh) as a separate server.

As an added perk (ridiculous gains aside), gives top end players separate lair spawns so that low end players can get gear they need without worrying about someone farming for water scroll, or yp's.

I meant it from the other perspective, that the larger player being scaled to be on par with something like N6 NPC's diminishes what that player has achieved. I do think the system 2 concept has it's merit, but if I go back to N6, I don't want to feel like I did when I actually hunted there. I want ...

There's also the consideration of kill rate to think about. If bob gains half of what ted does, but ted is killing 10 times as fast, that still means bob is gaining experience at 5 times the rate (which would seem too good to be true). Obviously this is more a matter of tuning and the like, but it's...

If you want to play a game that is stupid easy to advance in, go play WoW. Not to detract from the QQ jib this thread has going, but this comment stood out to me. WoW may be an easier game to advance in, in terms of leveling, etc, but it is by far the harder game relative to Drakkar. I had to perpe...

How bout this, I'll make you a graphics file that affixes all your gear with "I'm a bad player" in big bold lettering. This way, you'll never forget and be less inclined to get uppity with the handful of people in this thread who all know more than you, and are better players than you, des...

If you do not have at least 1 Barbarian in your group for serious progression, you don't know what you're doing. The utility they bring to a party is immense, the damage they do when played properly against multi-swing lairs (read, every NL lair) easily out of a pally's reach, even when hasted, and ...

Graphics are needed to distinguish these

Yep i agree, graphics are important for these. Some good graphics were waisted on the junk robes in sdc, especially the trapper quest ones.

All of the current SDC graphics are placeholders that Brad tossed in.
