Aggros which don't wander, or are secluded... not really sure how this can be used as an argument. Once someone has explored a tiny bit, they'll know where the 2-3 bad rooms are and just avoid them, basically negating any of the difficulty w/ exp in an area with aggressives. I mean please don't try...

FWIW I look at CM largely as an extension and refinement of the XP system pioneered in smoke - that is, while you're XPing, you can pick up potions, and occasionally rares will load for eq fights. Yes, exactly :) One thing that can make smoke fun is finding prizes once in awhile. Though airship rea...

Can I ask why Yuan-tis in the mines aren't evil? Was wandering down there with my pally just for some XP and trying to collect a few rings, and I get zip for xp smiting them cus they're neutral. That seems reasonable to expect to be able to exp off them as a paladin. I'm looking at them though and ...

I sent the package. I am glad that you enjoyed it. The sunflower seeds are one of my favorites as well, and I always keep several packages on hand.

Even with scales, my ice elementals have died before scales wore off, on F'g ferns no less. I wonder if they're like classless ogres with -1 agility. Kinda nice for a tiny barrier when you need to flee a tracking agg mob, but other than that. *shrug* The ice elemental was not designed to be a tank,...

Frequent breaks are also important, for 5-10 min every hour. Heh, not sure I can get away with that... Now I'm getting all worked up. If you're in pain from using their equipment, and nothing is being done about it, THEY are the ones getting away with something. If you are in pain and need breaks, ...

My advice is to take as many triggers and aliases as you can. Rig it so you can play your characters with as little typing as possible, and still be able to fully control them. If you have health coverage/insurance, consider seeing a physical therapist. I just finished a 3 day a week 2 month session...

I'd like to apologize to those in the group. The difficulty was a lot harder than what I was going for.

Brandobaris

can we please either up the load rates or tune down the numbers required? I'm willing to look into any specific quests, just mmail me details on any you feel are broken, unbalanced, whatever. The one you cited as being the worst problem was already revamped months ago btw. The current load rates fo...

So my understanding then, from the comments I've read, is that we need more zones of similar configuration to that of Seelie Court. (Mob levels, quantity, groups, average number of rewards, etc.)

Are people doing SC regularly though? I thought a large group was needed to do the zone.

So of all of Toril's zones at this point in time, which one do you feel is an example of an area that best meets your needs and the needs of our community?

Has anyone investigated this?

In a secluded section deep within a fortress, two individuals are seen talking to each other in hushed tones. A look of concern is on their faces. Some of the conversation can be made out. Person1 whispers ' This has gone on far too long. If the plotting is allowed to continue, this whole operation...

- For convenience, almost all potions now have a keyword of what it does. - There should absolutely be no more lured aggros from side areas running around ever again. - Some updates to stats of a particular type of item. - An encounter was toned down again. This is final. - A spawned event will no l...

A zone like Izan's eq distribution totally messed up the risk/reward/fun factor for a lot of other zones. It's not even that hard of a zone. I am always open to hearing suggestions and areas of improvement for my work. Any player is welcome to mmail me if they find a problem with anything I've done...

I like the concept.

I think you may have overestimated the number of people available to work on it though. For such a large project, someone would have to go on a recruiting campaign.

I was wondering if most areas where a key is required to enter is by design supposed to pop locked from the other side. It depends on the situation and the designer. It is an important aspect that probably does not get as much attention as it should. In regards to doors locking on the inside, I sus...

- Updated some eq ansi - The drow priestess mr issue that was pointed out by Demuladon has been dealt with. - A mob group and other aspects related to the group has been changed significantly. Which one should be clear when you see it. - A blind mob can see. - The single duergars shouldn't stack up ...

Why do projects have to be secretive here? Because the designers of the MUD have figured out that if they discuss projects then the playerbase will whine about the changes and ask when they will be released. I'm guessing this is the case. An experienced person knows that once you start talking abou...

Way to get into the spirit of the games, people :P

I especially enjoy watching the mogul skiiers, and snowboarders, both of whom do the impressive jumps and flips and such. The new snowboard racing event doesn't seem too exciting though. It seems kind of slow paced. They should have made it steeper. Now put four snowboarders on the downhill skiing s...

From my own observations, I believe all of the active staff plays the game to some extent and has contact with other players.

A duergar warrior is in excellent condition. <held as shield> a simple steel shield (illuminating) Thank you. This has been fixed. Is not really a problem demu all rooms in the mine are illuminated.

how about making some exp zones off of dk, east, west, south all look available, put something in like druid sanc. it's a hell of a long walk, and with so many goodies there is usually competition for the mobs as is with pirate ship. A plat farm closer by would be nice as well. The imbalance with t...

Also I forgot to mention:
- A mob that was causing mass-confusion was updated ever so slightly. So if you got really confused by some mob you might try again.

It has come to my attention that the dolomite lockpick isn't working properly. It is supposed to never break on pickable doors/chests, but it can. If you know someone who has the pick, please let them know that they should not use it until the problem has been corrected. When the problem has been co...

Also, he is a...

It would be nice if players didn't have to figure out what is changed especially if we had already explored the area. The areas sphere in the past just said "oh hey we fixed this guess what it is" was just annoying. It was very frustrating when things were changed without warning too. Anyone who ha...

I forgot to mention that one of the spawned portals was going to the wrong place. It goes somewhere different now.
