Quests Ideas and Discussion / Points of Interest idea
« on: August 08, 2012, 07:21:31 pm »
Players of Layonara know of the Points of Interest spread out across the continents. But I admit even I have just now discovered some of them after several years of time here.

What about a way to drop clues about these P.O.I's? I was thinking like quick blurbs from the town criers, or even say a painting on the wall of a tavern that mentioned some locale etc...

thanks for considering this

When crafting a miners pick axe or wood axe... rolling a 20 will make an Exceptional Miners Pick or Exceptional Woodaxe.

Each would have an Enhancement bonus of +1. Allowing them to be more useful than the regular ones in beating the DR of the Rock or Tree. They would also be in demand since they would break just like the normal counterparts and need to be replaced. We cant have a separate break % for them can we? I have several characters that mine and chop wood... even if the break % was the same on these Exceptional ones. I would pursue getting them or making them.

Thanks for considering this.

Rumour Has It / Orc encounter at Saddlebag Pawnshop in Haven City
« on: April 24, 2012, 04:23:15 pm »
Dot enters the pawnshop ready to do inventory and catch up on sales. In the main hall stands an orc (Gulduz). Axe hefted on his shoulder. Dot confronts him but there seems to be a language barrier. After some posturing and chest puffing Gulduz approaches Dot and reaches for her hand (arm). Dot tries to recoil but fails and he grabs her. So (naturally for Dot) she responds with a punch. Gulduz falls back in a heap, knocked out cold..... Dot drags him out the front door and tosses him into the street. She whistles loudly as Warrant Officer Kit passes. Telling Kit that this Orc came at Dot and grabbed her in the pawnshop and that she knocked him out and tossed him out into the street.

(having no DM around no one played Kits reaction... im curious as to what it would have been.)

Gulduz came to and mumbled in some broken common about Dot being a strong human and his ancestors would not forget her and many gifts would come to her. Then Gulduz headed south towards the Desert.


//Dot doesnt know Gulduz by name or vise versa. But Gulduz was still lying on the ground when Dot called Kit over.

//turns out he just wanted to use the portal... hehe ;) But that never was articulated in a way that was understoon.... It was fun RP thanks gilshem. It warranted a bump from an XP wand IMO. ;)

NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Traveling Salesman idea.
« on: February 16, 2012, 02:58:31 pm »
Long ago we had a "Traveling Salesman" He/she never traveled though. They seemed to like the Forest of Fog (Mist back then). THey sold a few unique items. As I recall nothing that was uber world altering gear. Just things that made you go.. Hmm thats kinda cool I might use that.

I was kicking around an idea to revamp and bring back a traveling salesman/woman.

Pick about 8 to 12 locations this "traveling salesman/woman" would spawn...or be placed once per reset or when GM's could get around to it. Now that we have such asesome server stability maybe even move them a couple times per 300 hour plus up time. (all up to if the GM's have time of course).

The salesman/woman would have about 6 to 10 items they would sell. But they would draw from a pool of say 20 to 40 items... Thus making what they had for sale appear to change up a bit each time they are in a new area to sell their goods. Again not Uber items... No plus 5 weapons, or Save vs death with a DC 30 type stuff. Unique items that make you go... Hmm... I might use that, or I could see using that in "x" situation. And "fun items" that really wont change the world as far as making someone an uber 1 man army. But maybe do some neat affect, appearance, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to consider this idea.

Rumour Has It / Seeking blade master(s) for training
« on: September 30, 2011, 08:22:34 am »
*this note is posted in several town message boards*

I Myrddyn Reynolt am seeking to further advance my skills with the rapier or foil. To this end I wish to train directly with others highly skilled with this blade. Ideally I seek some one on one training in Vehls arena and some real world training as well across the lands of Mistone and beyond.

Please leave word here if you are willing and able to assist me.

~Myrddyn Reynolt


//Myrddyn is now level 12 and at 13 he will be taking Weapon Master (rapier) as per his character application. I would just like to have a bit more RP with someone(s) who are willing to help him hone his techniques. The best time for me is during the day (CST) or, after 9PM CST.

Thanks! :)

NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Adding custom title to ammo
« on: September 09, 2011, 06:34:07 pm »
Id like to be able to add a title to my element enchanted ammo.
Right now if I have plain arrows and enchanted with say 1d4 electric... they are still known as arrow. It would be nice if enchanting them put the element name on them auto matically or ... if we could rename them ourselves with the quill and ink.


Thanks for reviewing this. And should this need moved to another area of the forms please do so.

Thanks

Fixed Bugs / Fixing "Exploit bow" Not removing Lighting effect
« on: March 17, 2011, 03:43:36 am »
Bug Report

Description: After having all of my characters bows brought into compliance with what has now been deemed an exploit. I noticed each bow has a lighting effect left behind from the element enchantment it had before.
Example. Oak Longbow with a 1d6 Fire added... it also adds 10M red light. Once the element damaged was removed by a GM today the red light effect remains.

Location: West server - Thought I would think the same would apply to a bow being "fixed" on the other server(s)

Verified: GM-Redeemer (TheBlueGnome or some such name) Removed all the element damage from my bows. He saw that the light effect remained on every bow.

Reproducable: Yes. Each bow that had its element damage removed kept the light effect from whatever element it was enchanted with.


Is this a world stopping bug? No.... but the light effect is really pointless now.

NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Pawn Shop - Again
« on: August 05, 2010, 03:45:47 pm »
We all love finding pawn shop after pawn shop that is broke. The last thread about them seems to have died out with no one responding to it anymore. I had an idea that I wondered if it would work or not.



What if the pawn brokers had something(s) to sell. At high prices of course but things people would possibly pay for. I am not 100% certain how it works with them but I beleive this would give them money back to buy more things. Thus self regulating them to an extent.



I know their is the arguement that they have a limit so people dont just get umpteen million true from one broker and well I fail to see how a limit solves this. It just delays it... people will just bleed them dry, wait for 300 hours plus for a server reset and do it again. So they arent being stopped at all. Heck Ive done it.... I made a mad selling frenzy when I was trying to get funds for a house.



Unless the coin limit is there for another reason that I am not aware of.



Anyway... just an idea for y'all to kick around



THanks

General Discussion / New Ore idea
« on: July 15, 2010, 07:30:52 pm »
I have an idea for a new Ore for Layo check this out.



It takes 20 raw chunks to make 1 ingot.

The ore deposit will ALWAYSE break after mining 1 chunk.

One Ore node will spawn per RL month.

It will take at least 12 hours 1 way to reach the ore deposit.

This ore is guarded by the NWN version of Chuck Norris.




What shall we name this ore?

Unobtainium

Yes this was a joke  LOL  :P

General Discussion / A reccomendation for any future auctions.
« on: June 25, 2010, 02:29:26 pm »
This issue has come up in the past and I bet it will come up again in the future.... Last second auction bids / wins. In my experience 9 times out of 10 the person who losses out at the last second will be upset. They might have bidded more if given the chance to do so. Since we do not have a MAX BID system here (or that is indeed another idea one can use but a bit more work with PM's and such.

My idea which I have seen used here in the past with much success.

No auction will close untill 12 hours (of more if you choose) has past with NO bids.  Say your auction closes at 6PM CST and someone bids at 5:55 PM CST... that bid automatically extends the auction end time by 12 hours to 5:55 AM CST... and any more bids that follow extend the auction 12 hours from that bid time. This gives all parties who had bid chance to bid again should they wish to. Efectivly eliminating that last second bid snipe.

No one gets upsed they lost an item they had the bid on for 2 days only to loose out in the last seconds. AND!!! You the seller stand to possibly make more money!! cause the action will not close now before all active bidders get a fair chance at bidding again. :)

No this isnt a rule. No you dont have to do it. But it certainly can create less upset people.. and possibly create more coin for your pocket!!  :)


EDIT Another idea is to NOT disclose the exact auction close time. Example: Say what day the auction will close but NOT what time. It has been my experience however that this method can lead to thoughts of favoritism so I do not use this method here.

Ask A Gamemaster / A moment to give thanks.
« on: May 15, 2010, 03:23:40 pm »
I wish to take a moment to thank the CA staff for their requirements to add more detail to my newest character app. In doing so I think it has really helped me see a direction to take this character.

Thanks CA team and any others behind the scenes who were involved in the process.

Ask A Gamemaster / Yes another character app suggestion
« on: May 11, 2010, 04:44:21 pm »
I would like to see the applying for new toons get a bit more courtesy given  to each app if possible. (I beleive I have seen exactly what I describe here on some apps now)

I shall use my own character app as an example.

1. Origional Character App made May 7th

2. No news the character has even been reviewed or anthing untill a Reply with requests to make character approveable made May 9th

3. Reply with attempt at doing said requests - May 9th

4. Now back to dead air waiting for ?  I assume it is once again being discussed... but we all know what happens when we assume to much ;)


Can we please get a simple reply of....
We acknowledge this application and it has been forwarded to wherever it goes to get talked about amongst the approval staff. We will reply soon when we have come to an answer if this character is ready for play or needs more work. Thank you.

At least give us the courtesy of knowing the application is being discussed in some way shape or form. Rather than just dead air for X number of days. I do not beleive that this is too much of a request. If the character app has to be linked and sent off to some other area to be discussed etc... or however the process goes now. Can't the staff take another minute and post some simple Cut and Paste response similar to the above example?

Personally I dont have a problem with the length of time to get a character approved. I know every person here works on a volunteer basis and has a Real Life. I know we can't expect to go from origional application to playing in game any shorter than we do now (or not much shorter anyway). I would just like an acknowledgement given to us the players that you have indeed seen the app and what is happening to it now... sort of like a very VERY simple tracking system like on a package. Perhaps even a super quick tip added like you definatly need to flesh out "X" more. We suggest you do so while we discuss the other aspects of this character app. This would eliminate days of dead air on the part of the applicant, and hopefully speed up the entire process.

I go appreciate All the work, All the people that do All character approvals put into their jobs... this is simply a suggestion to help the process go more smoothly.

Thank you very much for your time.
