  • I can appreciate how encounter stacking with static encounters could pose problems depending on the class of the player. I have been using alot of patrolling encounters. If the player takes the Leroy Jenkins approach to the zone, then yeah, it's going to be next to impossible, since there is a lot of overlap. A previous…
  • I have no problem with looping patrol. I set the speed to 3 or 4 for what seems to me an average walking pace. It defaults to 10 I think if you don't put a value in, and it looks silly like a power speed walk.
  • When I try to duplicate a map, I just crash to the desktop. I get a dialog box where I can tyupe what I was doing to submit the crash, but it also closes, before I can submit anything. Anyone else experiencing problems with map duplication? It's really hindering my quest.
  • I found out about Pens the other night. The Penguins/Islanders game was starting and said "Let's go Pens" in the zone chat and it blocked it. I don't mind them having an over-all profanity filter, but that's not what is in place here. It's a wickedly strict "possible offensive word" filter. I wanted to use the word…
  • You can't modify behavior for individual creatures of an encounter. The whole encounter acts the the same. It is a bit frustrating. Personally, I haven't cared so much about making them chat with one another, but I have spread out the individuals of an enounter in an attempt to add some realism. For instance, in a quest…
  • You can't adjust any stats. What you can do is find a solo creature "encounter" in the "hard" difficulty and change the costume to fit your needs. At least that's what I've been doing.
  • That about sums it up. It's unfortunate that you can't make things as dynamic as you could with NWN. Branching side quests is the biggest drawback right now. Perhaps things will change with future patching. Another thing I miss is the "rescue" mission where the NPC would actually assist in fighting their way out. (now they…
  • It's strange you are walking on the water during your testing. You should follow the terrain as you go into the water. But if you want to stop someone from crossing your lake, stream, whatever, then an invis wall is the way to go.
  • But you can actually do this now with some of the instances if you wanted to be that kind of a player. Go in, kill a few, get a chest, hope for something decent, reset instance, do it again. I'm not talking about the end of quest chests that contain a level appropriate item that you can definitely use. I'm wanting the…
  • So by your logic, they should post the time for each and every time zone? If I couldn't add 3 to the times they provide then I'd have no clue what time maintenance is going on. I'd probably then complain about their low quality service and whine about it on the forums.
  • Pacfic time is 9 hours behind CET. It really isn't that hard to do a little math is it?
