EN World NWN Server Online

[NekoAli]

Well, hello from a new player to everyone. I started coming on a few days ago, and it's been rather fun so far, killing rats and beetles, trying to figure out the crafting system (Still yet to produce a finished item, but I'm trying). Thanks to everyone's work for putting this up. Everyone seems so busy though, to talk to a poor new ranger in town. I'm sure to be around again.

 

[Henry]

Neko, welcome to the fun! I'm sorry if Henryk ever ran by you and never said anything - he was probably on a crafting commission at the time! If you haven't yet posted your new character on the character list thread, feel free and I'll look you up next time I play!

I must say again that the selection of Katanas at the market is abysmal. Only one is keen, most are only good against certain enemies, and the two most expensive ones make you extremely vulnerable to certain elements.

I am also finding it to be absolutely impossible to assemble Anduin's Staff. 6 consecutive 2-hour runs through the Forgotten Forest and I only find the base section, and that piece twice. The gossip said that the headpiece can be found at a campsite in the forest, the only labeled campsite is the one surrounded by drow, and it's not there. or anywhere else, for that matter. I have a suspicion that once it's been found, and in the possession of a player, it can't be found by anyone else. A unique, persistant thingy that allows only 1 player to have the staff at a time.

Which leads to another thing. Is it just me, or do all the monsters in the Anduin area seem to be constantly rolling 20's? Almost every time I head in there, I get just enough exp to recover from the last death, and then WHAM! everything in the area starts to crit, and down I go. If it weren't for this, I'd be at least lvl 20 by now.

I guess I'll just stay offline for a while and wait for some chars to reach at least lvl 13, and then MAYBE I'll be able to group and get some decent experience.

NekoAli, welcome to Ascension.

Sometimes I'm AFK (away from my keyboard), sometimes I'm going through my spells (and might not notice you) or like last night, when there are a lot of people in proximity, it's hard to keep track of everything, with 2-3 conversations criss-crossing the screen. And let's not talk about the lag!!! That, teamed up with those minotaurs, was pretty deadly!

There's also something that happens to a lot of people, we type lots of text, without realizing we're in "party talk" (that means only people in our party can read us).

Hmmm, and i'm sorry that I accidentally cancelled a party invitation last night. Don't know who that was, but that wasn't meant as a "get out of my way, i'm not interested"...

I'll usually help if I can, just be patient with an old dwarf...
There's actually a list of items I'm interested in, so if you're looking for something to do and/or some money, come and speak with me.

Angcuru, I've noticed lately that there are many PCs in the 10-12 range, so I guess you should have company pretty soon.

Speaking of that, I'd like echo Henry and invite people to post on the Character List thread (see in my sig below).

I´ve also been searching for the missing pieces of the staff ( I got 3 ) and it seems impossible to find the rest.
I´ve made two obervations during the Quest:
1:as far as I know only one piece spwans on a regular basis: in the Hags Lair area.
2:Only the Green forest garnet spwans, also in the Hag Lair area.
This is serious, because if you enter the the Forgotten Forest and don´t have a Gem of Teleportation you will NOT be able to leave the area unless somebody comes to your rescue with a Gem of Teleportation or the server resets so you start at the Docks again.
( The Hag will teleport you back to town if you give her 4 different forest garnets ).
Perhaps I´m wrong in this,I would be glad if someone else have done any other observations?
Have any other group or player managed to find a whole staff?

Ive also noticed the same thing about the garnets and staff pieces. Im wondering if its possible that when a lot of the "trash/bones/rock/etc./ piles got turned off(modified?) that we didnt possibly lose some needed items to solve the quests...

I know that in a certain evil temple there was a trash pile I think it was that spawned an empty bottle that is Highly needed to complete the quest there. That bottle isnt found in the storage area anymore.

This, and the need for teleport gems, leeds high lev chars needing to raid some easier areas for these items(empty bottle, teleport gems) which makes the places in question less fun for lower lev chars to go into untill they have been respawned.

Anyway I guess im saying that im wondering if eliminating the rock piles/bones/trash piles etc. etc. may have inadvertantly eliminated items needed to solve quest areas.... Just a thought.

As far as some of the comments about people having trouble adventuring alone being hard... well yes it can be. Partys are the better way to go. But its not always possible. Chazman did a lot of lone adevnturing comming up in rank. You just have to figure out good strategys and stick to them. Yes its more likely you will die more often, but this can be reduced with good game play. Carry and use plenty of potions... Morrus has made them available to us and nobody should let this resourse go to waste.

When there are multiple opponents that are tough... get them to fight you in a doorway, top/botom of a hill etc. to keep them from surrounding you all at once. One on one is much easier than all at once.. Go slow and see whats ahead if you can. If there are large numbers of foes comming up leed one or two away from the pack with bow/xbow/sling etc. fire so that you have a more managable fight. I did all this stuff sitting at a table pen & paper roll playing D&D, and actualy doing it with the visual benifit of the game on screen realy puts in to perspective how these little strategys work.

Anyway there are more, but I wont bore you further.. Im sure this sort of thing is probably what everyone does already and im just repeating the obvious. But sometimes it pays to go slow, look and think about whats ahead.

Great game Morrus, thanks again. Need a couple tweeks I think, but what living evolving thing doesnt need tweeks from time to time. I know I personaly need them all the time.

Peace

Kell Aura is wanting to speak to a contractor about building a sorcerers tower. He has some ideas, and he'd like to find out if they are possible to do.

Thanks in advance.

Peace

Congratulations to both Chaz and Bognar, for making it to the big 2-0!!!

Angcuru, there are already at least 3 characters at lvl 13th that I know of: Rasputin, Kell and Darius. I'll be there pretty soon myself...

As for adventuring solo, if you're a spellcaster, I say those summon creature spells are your best friend! They last a long time and will keep some of your ennemies at bay. You'll soon find yourself healing and boosting them. If you're a ranger, try to tame an animal.

 

[Angcuru]

So there are a few people around 13th level now? Nice. Hopefully they'll welcome grouping with a 17th level Swordsman down on his luck.

Donations to the cause of our world.

ARG! After looking and looking and looking around some more tonight, for not only text I read on Friday that Morrus was asking for donations to the server, but also for his email address, I have found NOTHING.

I have paypal account. I have money. I wish to donate to the cause of the 0 En World NWN server.

I am currently 10th leval (Thanks for everyone who helped me get there!), and am thrilled I've finally found a public NWN place I can call home.

So.......Morrus, what do you say?
