Well, Minion and I hashed out some thoughts in Discord, anyone else interested? Let me know, maybe we can roll up a start next Monday at 7 PM EST.

@aronff Forgive me, but I got very busy with work and didn't even try. I have both Steam and Beamdog now, and will see if I can get in sometime this week.

Dear Skulldy, I love you the way you are.
You tell em, girl.

@stevelichman said in Dead PCs/NPCs that should have a grave IG:

@zool the citizen should have several dotted around the server where people swear he was killed

Nice idea, stealing it

The problem with non-specific maps is that they're not helpful.

People want to know where the closest sewer grate is. And which shops have what merchants. And how to actually get to the west gate, because you can't just follow the western wall from the south side of town.

The fact that the city shops shift is an issue, true, but I can also edit it as I go. The buildings are on a different layer than the city, which is on a different layer than the environment.

IC Information

Strangle rumbles have been heard from the Haunted Halls, concerned for the well being of her citizens Lord Winter has offered a reward to the first group to discover the source of the issue. So far however, it is too dangerous to enter the area. Once the Lord announce the cavern safe enough to enter, the adventurers will be allowed inside.

@aronff said in Quest Redesign:

Why update withering heights when it covers a lot of the level range already?

It's for story and appearance, rather than level. Just as valid of a reason to remake a quest

it is up and running now, thank you for all the help, i would not have been able to figure it out with out the help provided here hugs

and thank you to the DMs for help in the transfer

we will always be squishy, there are ways to mitigate this though

this is what i have found helps

1 travel with competent people (it took practice, but i learned my limits, when i travel alone in the game it is always fully buffed, with a full second set of buffs in reserve to get me home, as soon as they start wearing off, it is time to find a place to rest or return "home")

2 supplies supplies supplies (if i am low on healing potions/wands and restore things, i do not complain, it is my own fault , if i go on a quest low on supplies that is also on me)

3 always have a escape route planned in any circumstance (not always viable in some quests or locations, but having a plan helps)

4 this is a biggie for me, others may not have the same issue(my connection is good enough for me to get on..but just barely), but I always gauge my questing and exploring based on how long it takes the NPCs to reply to me, the longer it takes the more lag there is, if it gets too bad, it is time for RP and light exploring. If i do decide to take risks under those circumstances I blame myself when i suffer a loss (keep an eye on software OS updates that load without your permission, they can suck up bandwidth that can cause in game lag)

5 if you are on a DM quest, supplies supplies supplies, and what is the quest? is it one for a specific individual? if that is the case be happy you are along, you are a background cast member, trying to be the center of attention is not healthy for your character, just watch and enjoy the show. Most DM events I have had the pleasure of following along on are very entertaining story and action wise.

6 there will be characters your character will not get along with, for various reasons, be they dislike the race or subrace your character is, or other things, including your characters reputation (yes, characters can get negative reputations with out even really trying that hard) how you react to these characters can have a inlfuence on your long term survival. standing your ground when you are surrounded by a mob of banites may not be that healthy (with some exceptions, there are players who excel at PvP and win against overwhelming odds, if you the reader are one of them you can ignore this advice) know when to bite your lip and walk away, be polite

There will be an announcement when it is ready. until then, stay tuned.

🤣 😂 this made my day twice over. I did the same thing yesterday. AFKd in Gilmors for like 30 minutes until I did a spit take while watching West World and ran to my computer.
