I've had something in mind, but like with Zaviron I already have a character right now.

I've done very few Evil concepts in the past. I usually stay Good or Good-leaning, so it'd be good to break with tradition sometime in the future.

Hells, no! Don't make special positions like guardian of hullack a prestige class!
It might discourage players from perusing them. It would be a reward you need to give up other things for. Achieving that is far more awesome to be forced to give up things for.

As for wishlist, arcane trickster.
A monk/wizard and a monk/cleric thing that granted spell progression and monk AB progression. (perhaps not as fast as base classes, but close enough)
Divine archer -- just open up arcane archer for divine classes.

I have a dream for the server, and it's harder to achieve than you might think. I want to see a server where people can make a sending and people actually come, or better yet, people aren't stuck standing around waiting for something to happen that never comes.

after reading this stuff about prc's I had honestly forgot all about them. new goal for my pally woot woot DC would be epic or something of that variety.

There are always characters who want to do some psycho shit in Old Town, you just have to find them. Sometimes that comes with doing psycho shit and makes them come to you, and as long as you've built a dope narrative then they probably will. That might mean a concept gets cut short, but we're here for a good time not a long time

@solarfall said in When your time is limited..:

I struggle to invest as much time into COA as much as I used to..work, fiancé, dogs..

I also hate being not involved with my PCs and not being the centre of attention. If my villain
PC isn’t THE focus of the server I get bored and want to move onto something else

So, how do we get Best out of COA without having the time we used to

@edinsumar said in When your time is limited..:

I'm losing more and more time as well, and I'll very soon not be able to invest as much of it as I've done in the past. So I, likewise, need some guidance on this. I do not think I can keep up my current thing of being in charge of a faction, for example. But I hope I will be able to.

One thing I find helps a lot, is to do some OOC research about the player base. Send people some messages introducing yourself and just talking to them. (This is what I did when I first found out about the server)

Figure out people's timezones and work off of that. Having people to play with you when you're available is very key to having fun, in my opinion. I believe there is a thread that is used for this as well. (I can't find it, I know it's here somewhere!)

Everything else will fall in place after.

Indeed there are 2 missing haks and when you fire the program anew it just keeps re-downloading three already existing haks. Started playing 6 days ago, running NWN on Win10.

its a lake! not a sea! -_- fresh water! grrr.

Half tempted to mess around with this myself. But had started a revamped map of Cormyr already...

@spiffymeister said in Next concept!:

Wyvernspur does have some traditional ties to the hullack I believe.

Indeed

Female elves, call me. Unicorns can go to a Moloch.

I sort of got the joke, it was somewhat unfair to include that part in my comment, sorry.

The thing you mention is real difference, and I often get this slapped in my face IRL, that either I name a way to solve it or I should shut up. Hells, all of my teenage years were about this.
Problem is that it is possible to notice a problem while not having a solution ready.

Funny thing we are mostly on common ground here, I try to be very cautious with my wording on the internet for (amongst others) the very same reason. Spending the day reading the same request was a bit much for me.
Sorry if I happened to be a bit much myself. :)

I RP only when I know a DM is watching, amirite
🤗

It uses the "value" of the item (which is internally decided by the game using a 2da file, which is frankly... bizzarre!) to calculate if you have enough UMD.

And yes, pretty much any property makes an item "worth more" as far as the game is concerned (even negative ones!!!)

First, I'd like to say that after seeing some arenas, they are ran very nice, chance for recovery is often given, challanges seem to adjust on the fly, and not in a way to cripple players but to provide a fair fight.

I would welcome more interaction with the crowd, but that would make it even longer and probably change the event a lot, in other words, I have no feasible ideas on how to do it.

Trier system would be very nice. I find it very hard to judge the power level of certain items. Clear information on the rules - mostly OoC ones, like what penalties should I expect if I happen to loose and how it relates to my degree of failure - would be most welcome.

What I would change is how participation/rewards are handled. Now only one character will be rewarded, and everyone can fight only once.
I know I could pay tons of money to merceneries, but I find it troublesome to grind that much gold that pays for their risk AND their opportunity cost entering the arena.
If I have a faction who would fight with me, probably the player with most influence would get rewarded. While it was nice seeing verk claiming to quit house Bhaliir on the last arena event because his fellow retainer decided to try his thing alone resulting in both of them loosing, some sort of reward for participants, an amount of consumables or really, something, would help a lot seeing less 1v1 fights.

@wabbitseason Thanks, it happened again and this worked

@Terris I heard you were coming back as a player and ran for the hills ;)

But yeah, as Mr.Moloch said the DM team has been strained for a while now and such things take their toll on everyone. Tink and I have a stressful RL and play/DM for love and enjoyment of the game. We have lost that, unfortunately, on CoA and we are looking at another project to work on. It will give me a chance to really develop some nice Custom Content and test the boundaries of the EE.

But, also as Mr.Moloch said, this is a good deal of talking and healing going on which is good. There are no hard feeling either side and I'm hoping that things turn out well for V6. :)
