cptoad - 6/10/2005 11:45 AMwell if i may... forget about leveling.. i know that it is the goal of all players to gain more powers and become better and stronger, but thats not really the point here at layo.get involved, do the quests, make friends. think of something no other player has done and go about doing it, in my case i wanted a shop to sell items i made.. i started in my house and after a few months i was able to build one. also i am incharge of a guild.. think of one, convince others to join and make it happen, or find one to join.make a mark in the world, one does not need to have massive powers to change the world around them. meet people, have a char that people want to get involved with. the possiblitys are endless here. the levels will come in timehave funGloin
Guest - 6/12/2005 12:05 PMthat is a great idea... as soon as i can do something other than die repeatedly.... u can't even get into the house i rent, where everything i own, is... because the key doesn't work... and what do i get from the helpful dm? sorry... soemtimes they don't woek... get the owner to make you a new one.... great....i cant craft a whole hell of a lot, and that which i can is pretty much useless to most everyone, and the only places to get resources for most of the stuff people WOULD buy, i can't reach. further, i can't stay on for 5 hours to find a quest that i can go on.....let's add to that the fact that i GOT a quest, and between the time that i GOT the quest, and was able to finish it, the level necessary for the quest jumped 3 levels over me..... so now i have a head for a quest that i can't use and a quest that i will have to wait about 4-5 months (based on current projections) to complete.... i appreciate your advice and comments, but they do not apply....the rule of the server seems to be one step forward, 3 steps back.....ymmv
ZeroVega - 6/12/2005 10:15 PM First, on invisibility. Invisibility makes you unseen to PCs and NPCs (hostile or friendly) as long as they do not have See Invisibility or True Seeing cast on them. The bug in Invisibility is that if an ogre/giant/any creature that is hostile, notices you, and comes to attack you, or if the AI even sees you're there, sometimes when you cast invisibility to get away they will keep coming because the AI does not get the message (rough translation) "hey this guys just cast invis, we shouldn't be attacking." I've died a total of 12 times to this bug, 11 of those times were before the new death system and I probably lost near 150'000 experiance. Also it is a Bioware Bug. The creators of this game have the bug, and there is nothing anyone on Layonara can do to fix it. It works 80-90% of the time, but it's not a perfect system/spell so you just need to get used to the flaws.

A GM shouldn't just be letting people into houses they don't own on claims that they have a key that doesn't work. They technically can, but it's not a smart thing to do. Duplicate keys must be made from the original. Duplicates made from duplicates will not work.Crafting...it takes a LONG time to get to the point where you make things that people want to buy. Trust me, I feel your pain regarding not being able to get certain resources. That's what parties are for, or at the very least, hire someone out. Until then, there are a lot of things you can make as a crafter that only involves the resources you can get on Mistone, and some of them are actually worth something.Garent's quest....a few months ago, the level requirements were changed on the quest because the team realized that...yeah...it's really, really hard....or can be if not done very carefully. Either way, for players below 10th level, even a well-formed party, the quest was more like a death trap for "young" adventurers. This change was posted at some point. Lastly, for the one step forward, three steps back....I guess I have no comment here, other than there are ways to accomplish what you want to accomplish. But for some, due to real-life conflicts and such, progress will be slower, and it will seem frustrating to watch people pass you up in the process. If it's something you want to stick with, then please do. The world wasn't really meant to solo, though....for many different reasons. And the world is constantly changing. What was true one day may not be true the next, as events, the actions of players and changes in the plot take place. Like real life, the only constant is change.
