The Kingdom of Drakkar

Is there any chance that some Baddie is doing a Primal Mind Wipe ?

Short list of suggested fixes from a Barbarian point of view: 1. NL left hand axe - only has a chance to swing during plain old "attack" - pretty lame for lev 70+ Barbs that are at froth almost all the time. 2. A Barb gets immune to stun at froth, later gets immune to normal combat stuns ....

I know of at least 1 forum attempt, and 1 direct email attempt by me -- "pre-Brad fix announcement" -- of my & KAM desire to discuss the final BDC encounter. To date, I have still have not received a reply to my email. I guess our feedback attempts either went on deaf ears, or it may h...

Uhhhh.... who's to say what is the proper reward from the most difficult party Lair encounter in the game? Best armor value robe in the game for the most difficult encounter - sounds right to me. And doesnt the guy who put it in the game bear the responsibility for knowing what it is / does ?? If Br...

Brad posted: There is a fix to the BDC consort cloak coming up. It has too much AC and is missing its acid protection , and it doesnt have a level limit. Just getting this out now so people dont freak when the change goes in (it will be retroactive). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

For Barbarians -- Looks like each notch of zerk went up from 20 rounds to a whopping 22 rounds. And the skill 38 "zerk pool" means ya can have 10 "increase rage" rather than the default 5 "increase rage's". Any Barbarians out there jumping for joy ? ~ Buzz__KAM ~ P.S. t...

Was testing against small yeti's on my 24-23 MA. Round after round of just Kick. Took 18 to 22 rounds to kill a small yeti regardless of which Nork boot I was wearing.

Just made 38 hally skill on my Barbarian.

No change to zerk pool hits.

Hi there - I had always wondered if the different Nork / Aleria Boots did different damage, so I did some testing. I tested no boots on, sharkie respirate boots, Alerian Sandals, Elephant boots, Dancer's, FireGiant green boots, Aleria Succor boots, blue Featherfall boots, Mountaineering boots, and A...

game is alot more party oriented now -- try stealing while in a party to boost thiefin skill

Current method of Riposte makes me jump around to archers and thrown weapon baddies --- kind of annoying.

Biggest barrier I see for 200+ players...

The repetitive grind going from level 20 to 50 has been burning people out and chasing them away.

Pretty good diversity of content for level 1 to 20 characters.

Mormar seems to be kinda empty these days, and alot of guilds are seeing alot of folks not playing much this spring, so I was wondering if a new Mormar quest would help. New quest would involve collecting a tied item (non-tradeable) from each floor (for example = a small purple gem), and taking that...

Finally got to skill 35 MA skill on my Barbarian -- and still hoping that someday the Drak Gods might allow non-MA's to equip these gauntlets.

I guess I need to increase my prayer & groveling skill . . .

One of the major problems with Mjorin is the almost worthless "reward" for going there -- especially since Cobrahn was released. The keys are just as time consuming to get as back in the late '90's, the water damage is now a barrier to keep players from exploring, and major con's found in ...

I was wondering, with the concern over paid player base . . . Why not create a couple of new character classes? I always liked the stories of the old Ninja Class, and have thought a Sage Class (part Healer / Part Ment) would be nice --- as well as a Jack of all trades Hitter Class. Just a thought, ~...

Hmmm... I'm now getting a new system message of "That item will not function for you", when i try to drag equip Rift Gaunts on my Barbarian. Does this mean that at some point this item "will" function for me ? Maybe at Martial skill of 35 - hint hint ? ? Thanks, ~ Buzz__KAM ~ Bar...

One real easy test -- If ya get ANY deflects while in ANY stage of berserk --- it's from the quirk category. Barbarians without quirks do not get ANY deflects while in berserk stages. Also, be aware that if you get the "encumbered by your armor" messages, you will never get any deflects (b...

In addition to MA class being able to equip Rift Gaunts, I was wondering if they could be altered slightly so they can be equipped by other classes that meet a particular MA skill minimum ?

Thanks,

skill 33 in MA = Barbarian

I love it when some psi users dont bother to get any weapon skill, then wonder why they die so easily in NL.

Baddies in NL will chew ya up in a hurry if ya dont have weapon skill to add to your defense.

Wow -

I have Deflective Fury up to 18 of 20 now and I'm really seeing a bunch of deflects now at Froth.

Thanks again for the advice.

Hi there --

Does anyone have any info on what these 2 Barbarian Quirk categories actually do ?

Thanks,


~ Skip / Buzz__KAM ~

Has anyone tried using or placing the elemental crystals (the ones used to get into Uther) at the Mausoleum locations ??

Always thought a polearm should have a chance of damaging multiple targets.

"barbs are hasted whenever they are zerked over level 25. with no aging penalties, or stat loss." -Yeti - - - - - - - - Well, at level 38 Barbarian - I still see the following at froth -- and it AINT like haste: 3 rounds out of 5 = a single attack with my hally 1 round out of 5 = a double ...
