[OOC] The Missing Warlock [4e, closed]

[Arbanax]

Hi I replied yesterday thinking that Nt would take things on but so far its been really quite, have I just come back as everyone has gone off on their hols? Just wanted to check I hadn't missed anything- hope everyone is ok?

Yeah, I was thinking about bumping these threads, too, but it slipped my mind earlier.

I've noticed the game generally takes the weekends off. Here in the U.S. it's the Labor Day weekend, so I'm guessing the game will continue tomorrow (tuesday)

 

[nerdytenor]

Yes, sorry I should have warned about Labor Day.

Your DM is stalling for time while he creates some more maps.

Things should pick up soon...

Is it just me or is En World playing hard to get?

Either I get Error 404 or some other error or problem. Then when it does come up and I try to post it crashes with monotonous regularity.

Then I get like today where I enter an sblock command ONCE and for soem reason the website doubles it. Now that's probably something I'm doing but on top of everything else it still pis*es me off.

Anyway rant over (for today) and Joshua has posted.

I agree and part of me wondered if we should suggest taking it elsewhere to a less busy site. EN world are talking about upgrading or buying more servers... But in any case being so well known this works against them in two ways, one is popularity creates bandwidth problems the other is attacks from hackers - both seem to have played a part in recent months.

On another note, some people are complaining that 4e is slow, but its amazed me how quick we've zipped through some pretty tough combats in this campaign. Nice one NT keep up the good work.

Always good to end upbeat...don't you think.

Ab.

 

[covaithe]

Yeah, it's been fierce recently with the crashes and performance issues. I just skimmed through the meta forum a bit and it looks like they have a decent plan for server upgrades in the vaguely near future.

 

[nerdytenor]

Yeah, it's been a frustrating few days. I've gotten in the habit of forming all my responses in a text editor and then copy/pasting into the forums.

Hopefully things will stabilize soon. Software/hardware upgrades are never easy...

 

[PennStud77]

Agreed on the crashing. I have gotten in the habit of copying the text before I hit 'submit'... just in case.

As for the magical items found, I think we should discuss it here:

I have a +1 dwarven chainmail for armor (+7 to AC and a daily heal), so I take myself out of the running for the armor

My weapon, however, is a simple battleaxe (1d10). The longsword is slightly less damage, but between it being a +1 and one higher proficiency bonus, using this weapon would give me a +2 to hit overall.... also, as the PC tied with Karis (who I don't believe uses a longsword) for the lowest HP, having the 5 temp hp would be nice, especially since my AC is relatively low for a front-liner and I get hit a lot.

Consider this my application for the sword.

Oh, and on an unrelated note, I have to agree that I definitely like 4e so far, both here in the PbP, and in my tabletop game; combat does seem to be smoother, but there is a tradeoff in that the tactical nature of 4e can slow things down at times, but I have found this PbP game to be much better about that than my tabletop game. Love the maps, NT, and keep up the good work.
