I thought I just posted something about this, but then came back after testing and couldn't find it. I just worked through part 3 of the new quest line and was seriously beyond disappointed that we will permanently lose our "look" if we have a character built before the character look changed for good. We have to change the look of our character to complete the quest, but when we go to change back, we're only given choices that are available now and not our original look. Please, please find a way to just save our look before we have to change and then revert it back when the quest is finished. I have worked hard to preserve the original look on my HR and will be really bummed to have to give it up because it's required to complete one quest!

I already posted this where you replied elsewhere, but the quest text says "you do not have to change appearance to continue this quest", so I hit cancel and walked out and continued. The tokens are just there as a perk/rp bonus.

I testes it and agree, the other look is really gone. Maybe if they change it to a potion instead a full appearance change should be better.

Wow...I sure didn't notice that, and wonder how many others will miss it as well. The whole quest is about changing appearance to go undercover, so it never even occurred to me that we could bypass that main part of the quest! Thanks for letting me know, but I really hope that this is clarified in a way that it can't be misinterpreted, because my guess is that a lot of players with original looks will be upset if they don't know they can bypass it and lose their looks. Thanks for replying!

Yes, I believe the note in question was just a little Italicized sentence giving this information within the dialogue box.

All three of us that ran Spellplague Caverns just now had a blast, even though we hopelessly overpowered everything in there. Can't wait for the epic version. Please let Control Wizards have a meaningful amount of, well, control in the dungeon. Seems most everything that one would want to control can't be these days.

Looking forward to exploring more of the new module and checking out the weapon/armor enchantment changes (thanks for doing that!)

Back in the mod 2 days, I left enough of my bones there to fill a cemetery. Those were the days when CC was everything. My CW is still built for maximum CC in the hope that the need for her arises once again. (edit: didn't realize you were talking about the one on preview).

Refurbished and remastered, we’ve cleared out all the bodies of adventurers gone by, and reopened both standard and epic versions.

You must have needed some serious dump trucks!

This new supposed artifact weapon set has me worried. Are you guys turning SP caverns into another FBI?

Is the epic dungeon part of this new mod that's an overtuned weapon set grind or just a coincidental inclusion?

meirami

Spellplague is coming back?!

Edit: Nevermind, I realized it's probably some horribly chopped-up, only-in-name dungeon with Ice Giants or whatever the current enemy flavor is. Sigh.

Edit2: No, it is the real thing! Yes! I'm excited again.

It floated up as announcement text. I thought it was hard to miss, but apparently a bunch of people have.

At any rate, not changing your appearance doesn't affect the quest in the slightest.

It seems that Linkletter isn't in The Chasm where he is supposed to be.. and when i looked for him I fell into a crevice i couldn't escape from without using GM help. -.-

NVM... he's on the wall.. this is kinda cool... except for the possibilty of getting stuck in terrain while trying to find him.

hustin1

Now if only the devs would take some TNT to that rock blocking off that AWESOME side area in ToS...

From the wording on the description of the dig sites it makes it seem like if you build the dig site yourself you would be able to enter the site more than once in an hour.. but that isn't how it's working for me. It seems if you spend your resources or not you only get in each site once per hour.. is this how it's supposed to work?
Also, Secure the District Campaign Task won't start, neither will Resist the Rituals.

(just trying to help ask these questions and clear up confusion before this goes live)

I read some instruction text somewhere that said you were limited to once per hour. Darned if I recall where but probably on an NPC.

It says something like "if someone else open the mine you..." hinting that if you open it yourself you don't have that limitation.

@terramak , just a little though I'd like to plant in the back of your mind

This comes from a guildie of mine who I think made an excellent point.

When working on eSP, please take a moment to think about how it will draw players post-mod 11. The best way to illustrate what I mean is eCC (epic Cragmire). Hardly anyone runs it because the final boss fight is INSANELY hard and the rewards in the chest aren't worth it (Elven armor has long since been surpassed). Same for eGWD. Lots of people run eToS because it *is* winnable, yet no one (as far as I can tell) runs it for the Elven armor: they run it purely for the AD and the stronghold shards.

I'd really hate to see eSP fall by the wayside in the same manner. It (at least the pre-mod-6 version) is an AWESOME dungeon.

Another thing to bear in mind: one very big reason that epic dungeon runs prior to mod 6 were in a healthy state was that people could sell the gear they got. I don't know if you want to go there again, but I think reinstating it bears serious consideration.

The second respawn point in the first quest(vault one) isn't working i steped by the fire, died and got respawn in the beggining.
Not sure if it's suposed but several enemies in the ember zone of river district show legs when frozen.
About what @hustin1, im not sure if this is a good idea or not but lowering the prices of elemental infusion and allow the production of equipment for all classes would be incentivating to run old dungeons.

For the most part, can't be helped. Anything animated is built on top of a humanoid sprite and invisible parts of the structure become visible with textures overlaid on them.

dont know where to post this but i just ran fbi completed the run i got [Greater Ostorian Ring of Hellig] in the first chest then i opened the second and got another one [Greater Ostorian Ring of Hellig] but it didnt go into my inventory even other loot took about 2 minutes keep coming back with this in log

Three of us hopped on preview to re-visit SP. Guys, seriously what is your obsession with chopping these awesome old dungeons down? I'll give you a hint here, the people who like Dungeons and Dragons generally appreciate a good dungeon crawl. You haven't neutered it quite as badlly as you did to CN, but it is noticeably shorter and there are definitely fewer mobs. I'll wait to see what the Master version brings but if the pattern holds true to what you did to the others then I'm disappointed that you seem hell bent to serve up snack content. Is it for the console players whom some market researcher thinks have the attention span of a mongoose on crack? I'll give you another hint, whoever has been doing your market research since mod 4, probably needs to be fired.

Please don't make new artifact weapons superior to the relic weapons. Variety is good, having a single BiS pick isn't.

Im quite curious to see how they implement mod 11 weapons. They cant make them better than relic obviously because the HAMSTER storm will be real. They cant make them weaker either because they're new. They cant make them harder to get 'cause the grind for relic is already too much. They cant really make them easier to get cause those who got relic (the most dedicated players) will rage.. And if they make acquiring them as tedious as relic is, again, the majority of the players will remain with drowned/twisted, meaning people not playing the new content as much as new content should be played..
The devs dug another whole and fell in it imo

emilemo

Copies of themselves.... im sorry but WTF? Thats stupid

EDIT: Right devs, again weapon restoration... And the set bonus is stupid. Just great. Whens mod 12 coming out?

treesclimber

It's very lame the recicling of content, it would be more appealing to me less stuff but new.........but i have to admit the new mounts look amazing specially the Gorgons.

The cult leader boss must have the wrong level as I one-shotted him; slightly anti-climactic.

I thought that was the funniest thing in the whole quest line! "Behold my power etc etc" *Wham*

I hope it was their intention at least but I loved it.

I agree, it was hilarious.

We need to hook him up with a caffeine IV.

Just entered the River District. All I can say is wow -- that was unexpected, and pretty awesome! The dialogue was there and gone to quickly for me to follow but once the voiceover is in, hopefully it will be easier. Here's hoping the campaign hearkens back to mod 8/9 for more storytelling.

hustin1

Just finished chapter 2. Wow. I can't wait. OMG, I can't wait.

Tankiest HR on the entire server and I get to do this mod. This is going to be awesome.

And Nostura is SO dead.



I think I'm going to stop here, though. I don't want to spoil the surprise for myself

It's a holiday in the states, I'm not sure the devs went to work today.

Just want to post this:
"In the depths of the Chasm of Neverwinter lies the Spellplague Caverns. Enter, and destroy the for creature responsible for spreading the contagion."
Located in The Chasm. Entrance is in the north part of the 3rd zone.
So why is repacked or relabelled as a new modul and not what it use to be?
