Ask A Gamemaster / Shadows
« on: June 12, 2009, 04:19:46 am »
I was curious about the various shadow creatures on Layonara.  I am aware that normal shadows and normal summoned shadows (such as a summon from a shadowdancer).

However, i know that in the past shadow fiends, as well summoned ones (such as from a level 7 shadow dancer) have something screwy with their AI (not much can be done about this as i recall from the past) and don't tend to attack even when commanded.

my question was if the Shadow Lord which is summoned by level 9 or 10 shadow dancer (can't remember at what level the shadow dancer summons the lord) is effected by the same AI issues that the shadow fiend has.

Introduce Yourself / back again
« on: June 03, 2009, 07:47:38 am »
who knows if anybody remembers me, but i recently reinstalled NWN and was wanting to check out the server again, but I'll be hornswoggled if i can remember the IP adress and the password, and doubt they would be the same even if i did

I had hoped to make my return as quiet as possible, but i figure this is the fastest way to get a response

Introduce Yourself / hello again
« on: April 16, 2008, 10:19:54 am »
i was feeling a little Nostalgic, and decided to stop in on my old stomping grounds, it's been a long time since I've been here and am not even sure if anybody still remembers me (been at least a year, maybe 2)


just wanted to say hey to anyone that remembers me, really not sure if i'll be coming back into the game as i don't have NWN installed on my computer, and i have no idea where my shadows of undrentide disk is to reinstall everything

Just for Fun / forum complainers unite
« on: November 30, 2006, 10:33:49 am »
i know it's been a good long while since i posted here, mostly due to me no longer playing NWN, but i ran across this Article and just had to share

"If you play an online game that you enjoy, there's one surefire way to spoil the experience: read the forums on the official site. There you will find a vast underworld of lost souls keening their misery onto your screen. A game you thought was entertaining, well-balanced and attractive will be torn apart before your very eyes and pronounced lacking in every conceivable way.

It doesn't matter that the complainers spend as much time on the game as you do, and probably more. While they may disagree on the nature of the flaws, they are united in agreement that whatever those flaws may be, they are unforgivable.

Herewith then, a guide to the deranged, degraded inhabitants of the forums. You cannot defeat them, they provide precious little experience, but if they get their claws on you, they may turn you into one of their own.
The Power Craver

Wants only one thing -- more power with less effort. Any downgrade in power is infuriating. Any upgrade is insufficient.

Sample Quote: "I can't believe they nerfed the pillar of lava spell! How am I supposed to kill twelve ogres at once now?"

Punishment: Forced to admit that no matter how powerful in the game, still works as a cashier at Kroger in real life.
The Magical Realist

Doesn't understand what a "game" is. Constantly makes arguments based on what would be "realistic," even if the game is set in a fantasy world run by wizards and pixies.

Sample Quote: "You can't tell me a Mondlagarian Tiger Warrior is stronger than a Swamp Troll. That just doesn't make sense!"

Punishment: Sent back to kindergarten for remedial make-believe classes.
The Majority Stockholder

Seems to believe that $15 a month buys you a seat on the board of directors. Doesn't realize that a hundred thousand other people are ponying up the same amount.

Sample Quote: "I've e-mailed the developers several times telling them that Fire Paladins should have the axe-throwing skill. They haven't changed it, but they're still taking my money!."

Punishment: Forced to work customer service for an online game company.
The Emancipator

Sees the game as a titanic struggle between the evil expressive developers and the poor, downtrodden gamers. The evidence? Every rule and limitation in the game.

Sample Quote: "I don't see why I have to complete quests to get epic weapons! If I want my second-level Bumblefur Bard to wield the Deathsword of Arat'rak'k'k'k, that's my right! Quit telling me how to play!"

Punishment: Sent to Sudan to experience first-hand what oppression actually feels like.
The Eternal Quitter

Just comes on the forum to let everyone know he's quitting for good and to spend a dozen paragraphs explaining why. Then does it again three months later.

Sample Quote: "For real, this time."

Punishment: Forced to actually quit.
One-Issue Poster

Only has one complaint, but posts about it 15 times a day. This is because nobody else cares.

Sample Quote: "THE LAVENDER STARBELT IS ACTUALLY PERIWINKLE!!!! WHY DON'T THEY FIX THIS??!!!?!"

Punishment: Lavender Starbelt changed to lilac.
The Lifestyler

Wants a bunch of cosmetic changes to a single type of character. Exhibits an eerie level of identification with said character.

Sample Quote: "The Pastry Elves' laugh should be less bubbly and more tinkly. Our giggle should remind you of gazing at the stars as a child, and our smile should make you think of the taste of honey on a cool spring morning."

Punishment: Character icon replaced with accurate photograph of self.
The Deathmonger

Main complaint about the game is that you can't kill everything. Secondary complaint is that the things you can kill don't suffer enough.

Sample Quote: "Why can't I make the baker watch me kill his wife and child, then force-feed their flesh to him until his stomach bursts? What is this, Barbie's Horse Adventure?"

Punishment: To be determined, pending DNA analysis of freezer contents."

Character Name: Lueanne Lightfinger
current Level: 20
xp to next level: 1,520,000 xp (or so)
 
updated bio (told from lue's perspective)

well lets see now, guess it all really started when i was 8 and timmy was ten back when dad was sneaking around that necromancer trying to get a peek at his book, as you can imagine the necromancer didn't take too kindly to that, when dad left that day it was the last time i saw him, well actually thats not entirerly true, but the last time i saw him alive see a few days later dad came home, but it wasn't really dad, me and timmy, thats my brother if i didn't tell ya about him yet, well i'll get more into him a bit later, had to put my dad down, mom never really was the same after that, i think it was the whole watching her 2 kids kill her husband, though kill isn't the best term in the world i suppose that is still kinda what we did, anyway it wasn't more then a few years later till mom passed ever since then it was just me and Timmy

after 5 years of living with just Timmy i met a man named Rayden, ohh he was the cutest halfling i've ever seen, well for a guy that is *giggles* anyway me and Timmy got into a big fight and i ran away and started living with Rayden, we lived together for a year but things were tough, i had to live as a pickpocket, which i did with Timmy anyway so it's nothing new, well we started to grow tired of living like thieves, so Rayden came up with a plan so that we'd never have to steal again, we'd just do one final job and thats it, but well as with all good plans, things didn't happen according to them, we think someone found out about it and tipped off the gaurds because they seemed to know we were coming, we had to run and get the heck out of there, but well the guards were tall and had really long legs we couldn't run fast enough so eventually they were going to catch us, then rayden pushed me through a doorway and slamed it shut and wedged it close so i couldn't open it, he told me to run and he'd slow them down, so i escaped and as you can imagine he was captured, his trial was short and people wanted to make an example out of him, and he was publicly hung, i was in the audience looking for a way to free him but it never came up, the knot was done wrong on the noose, stupid humans, probobly messed it up on perpose, so instead of being a quick death, he was slowly strangled by the rope.  well i realised i needed to get out of the town so i went back to the place me and Rayden were staying and started to gather my things, when i located his journal along with a small golden locket, the final entry dated the day before we went on the job stated planly that after the job he was going to ask me to marry him, and the locket, which i still have and wear always was to be his engagment gift


And then that brings us to when i arived in Hlint, nothing really out of the ordinary happened for a while until i ran into this scittish looking halfling carrying a box, she sure seemed worried about something so we talked to her and Me MT King, and Alexei decided to help her deliver the box, boy we didn't know what we were getting into then did we at the time, we ran into some bandits that wanted the box, and well like good messanger peoples we told them they couldn't have it and fought them off, but when we got to Echo to deliver the box the man we were to deliver it to got all weird on us, and well i kinda opened the box, which i was told not to do, and the man turned into a mummy, well me and MT and Alexei beat him up and what we found in the box was a flayed skull with the eyes still in it, and a lot of human skin, and the thing just kept staring at me.....even after i put it back in the box i could still feel it staring at me, well over the next couple months weird things kept happening, finding flayed remains of people odd mummy attacks, i looked into the skulls eyes once and what i saw was something i never want to see again, it was like another world, filled with just death, and blood, and gore, and all kinds of bad stuff.....well as the weeks passed on we finaly tracked down a place where we could destroy the box, which happened to be in the middle of the desert, well i finaly got the thing destroyed, and good riddence, the thing was trying to destroy the world ya know, and what i found was this weird peice of skin that kinda fell from the sky, it wasn't one from the box, i found out later that it was a peice of an ancient and it was later used to bring back Katia

then after we all brought Katia back Quint invited me to join the high council, being niave at the time i believed in Quint and accepted the offer, unfortunetly it seemed the council was doomed to fail seeing as it was headed by nothing but Buracrates, the only one that got anything done was Nathan, though he did tell me about a certain drow seeking my assistence in looking for the blade of shadows, i went to see the drow, i think i surprised her when i showed up in her temple all alone, and unharmed, not my fault drow can't see worth a darn, well i think she took exception to me showing her her defense was less then satifactory, so while she offered a job to me to find the blade she also sent the drow to kill me, it took a heck of a long time, but we finaly found out enough about the blade to get most of the special componants needed in the forging, then after some soul searching.....quite literally we were searching for a soul....we got the soul needed to give the blade the life it needs, and with Ta'ks help we got it forged, but it wasn't yet complete, we still needed to give it it's magical proprties, and with the help of Queen Allurial we did just that, after a ritual that guarding it almost all our gaurds fell in battle we finaly had the blade......and i thought we were safe untill a demon gated in from outa nowhere and attacked me specifically since i held the blade, he was aparently felled, as his body was laying there as Ta'k brought me back to the living, but i came to the conclusion......hiding just wasn't enough anymore, i needed a little magical support to keep all those Drow, Demons, and everything else that is after the blade which i still carry, from being able to find me with magical means, kinda an Anti scrying spell, but it'll have to be perminent, that should at least protect me from those blasted demons from poping outa nowhere to get me......


Wl Quest Idea:

i would like to see the Anti Scrying spell researched and eventually put on Lue and the blade of Shadows so that she can feel she can safely carry the blade without fear of being jumped at any given time by drow, demons and whatever is looking for it, i would assume a spell of this sort would either require a huge ritual or large amounts of matials or perhaps both

from talks with mages Lue has discovered that it's likely possible, but isn't sure how to go about doing it, or what it may require, but Lue is willing to pay any price to get this acomplished

optional Quest Idea's: Revenge on the Church of Baraeon Ca'Duz for all the suffering and pain they put her through during the course of the forging of the Shadow Blade

some Closure with the Shadow Theives (this is about a year old and just kinda ended) Lue broke contact with them, and it just kinda ended there, i doubt they would be happy about Lue quiting their ranks



i've already decided on a DM to run my WL quest and have let her know

why i feel i deserve a WL quest:

well apart from being one of the longest standing characters on Layonara, Lue has been involved in many things that have helped shape the world, such as the reserection of Katia, the destruction of a blood well, the creation of the shadow blade (which she carries) among other major events that i'm currently forgetting

Fixed Bugs / Docile Creatures
« on: June 11, 2006, 04:49:07 pm »
i'm unsure if this was an intentional change or if there is a script misfirering, but for a few weeks now it seems that the Docile creatures (deer, whitestag, any others i may be missing) have been attacking people where previously they never did unless attacked first

now it's possible this was changed on perpose and i missed the change when it happened, but i i havn't seen a bug report on this and figured i'd mention it in case it hadn't been noticed by the project team and it was a bug

Fixed Bugs / Sonic Blast
« on: November 27, 2005, 05:29:00 am »
now i'm thinking this was a spell that was left in the module during the last update that isn't completed yet but anyway i'll put this here just in case

upon my Sorceress making level 7 i obtained a new 3rd level spell, looking through the list i noticed Sonic Blast, reading it, it sounded really good so thinking it was one of the spells put in last update (i realise now it wasn't documented in the update) i decided to pick it, the knockdown effect works wonderfully for the spell, but the damage portion doesn't seem to work

General Discussion / havn't been around for a bit
« on: November 05, 2005, 07:09:00 am »

General Discussion / Name Length?
« on: July 22, 2005, 07:19:00 am »
i recall this coming up before a while ago, but if someone incharge could possibly refreash my memory or correct me if i'm wrong but isn't there a limit to the number of characters a persons name can be (character name + NWN name) before it becomes too long for the persistent database to save it?  if i remember right it was something around 26-36 characters, the reason i bring this up is 2 recently aproved characters ( Maxi Milan Diego Remoras Lambent II (35 characters), Raj Ammenda Halgern da Luis Whitehall (37 characters)) are either very close to or over that limit without their Bioware login names, and i am sure they and the content team would rather make sure and get this sort of thing sorted out before it becomes an issue

Fixed Bugs / Layo Beetles
« on: May 01, 2005, 05:40:00 am »
posted this on the tail end of a different bug report thought i would make a new one to try and make it more clear

Layo beatles
  Bombarder/stink (both) apoximently 4 hp, no abilities

original beatles
  Bombarder beetles Apoximetly 12 hp (not sure on this but the genaric beatles definetly have more then the layo ones) and a cone of acid breath attack (about 2d6 damage i believe reflex save for half)
  stink aproximetly 20 hp, stinking cloud ability, on death stink ability (not quite a stinking cloud but not sure exactly what it is)

the original beetles are obviously stronger then the Layo beetles (though the originals arn't skinable for bellies) but the problem lays in that higher level characters spawn more of these beatles as opposed to regular fire beatles which are stronger then the Layo beatles

so what i'm asking is, is it possible to update the layobeatles to work like the original beatles and allow them to be skinable?  (suppose you could use skins for the original beatles and just add the skinable script for them)
