Requesting Reviews: Draconian Ways

sourcreamkingsourcreamking Member, Neverwinter Beta Users Posts: 268 Bounty Hunter
edited July 2013 in The Foundry
Hello fellow DM's. One of the quests in my campaign has for some reason not been played as much as I think it deserves. Part 1, 2 & 4 range from 22 to 46 plays (or something) - but part 3 only has 9 plays to date. However, the few reviews so far have been mostly good. Very good infact.

If any of you have some spare time or just want a fun foundry to run, I would be thrilled if you ran mine.

Perhaps you'd even like it...

DRACONIAN WAYS
Short code: NW-DUNZEJG2J
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
The entire campaign can be found here: NWS-DQS27OINC

Individual quests:
1. Heeding the Call - NW-DMJCDZ5XJ
2. Bored of the Rings - NW-DFWE3XR6W
3. Draconian Ways - NW-DUNZEJG2J
4. When All is Said and Done... - Look at the picture ;)

    Hi
    I think I may have figured out why you got so little plays.
    In the area where you have to look for things out of place, the rock in the 2nd area on the wall, is hard to click. (Item out of line of sight message always appears) I had to jump and jump to find a place to stand and interact. However, when interacting, I fell off and interrupted it.
    Can't back on it.

    Had to quit. :( Do let me know when you've fixed that I'll play it again.

    Appreciate a playthrough of my Amulet of the Shining Sun below (links in sig)
    The Tale of the 3 Suns - NWS-DA9XX8WIV
    #1: 3 Suns Aligned NW-DFEKZANXF
    #2: The Amulet of the Shining Sun NW-DRKKGUI26
    #2 has choices that give a high amount of replayability

    The Legend of Khyber - NWS-DK33EIYMY
    #1: The Holy Symbol of Khyber NW-DU3HEVWJ7
    #2: The Gauntlets of Khyber NW-DN0006FAZ
    Heavy combat/light story

    Well, the hard to reach interactable should be fixed, as well as some other small stuff. :)
    If you care to take screenshots I'll be a happy chap, as I can't. Enjoy!

    It's now close to 8 in the morning where I am, and I have to get some sleep. I'll write down the short code and give it a go when I wake up :)

    Thanks! Be critical but go easy on me... I dont think I am the foundry pro you may be. I do feel that mine has flavor that most do not... so definitely worth your time. But This was my first attempt at a foundry and I used some advanced mechanics for a ****.

    I will try yours tomorrow as well. Thanks friend.

    I did it once and I was not ported to the room but outside with the kobolds, I killed everything and took the teleport. I opened the door but there was another door behind it I then walked back and got the room which seems to be the beginning. I walked back to the teleport and talked to the wizard. After about going through 3-4 doors I got stuck inside the door and could not move or /stuck so I did a /killme. I went through and it would not let me out of the teleport place. I took screen shots but my computer restarted and did not save them. On my second try I got to the room okay and while looking for items out of place I couldn't click this one.

    So I was going to review Draconian Ways but i noticed it was a part of a series... so i decided I will play them all and write a full review for each.

    ************CAUTION SPOILERS*************************



    Couple ideas...

    -After speaking with the lightkeeper and you start on your way across the water to crumpton, I think that you should use a two way teleporter disguised as a boat or something so the weird *** “walking on water” thing doesnt detract from your adventure. On this same part... after you cross the water a message comes up about following cobble stone to the village... but your light trail takes you the other direction... remove the light trail. This will be easy because if you do put the teleporter in than you will teleport to right in front of the trail.

    -Love the chat text on villagers... very lively town.

    -First conversation with Sir Jon
    I like his dialog... it seemed a lot like the way I thought he would be... with his whole get-up and sobbing.... BUT I did not like the character dialog options.

    -Terrific job making houses look sunken and tilted

    -Cave on the hill all alone looks a little strange... you can use some other cave walls and parts to kind of fill out the area to make it seem a little more realistic. The whole area just seems naked once you leave the village.

    -Talking to Leif, part where he says “Deal Sugarplum, talk away”... the hero option needs an “s” on “see thing”

    -Coming back across the water from leif to speak to wizard.... houses and tents on northside of the wizard hut are not on the right elevation. Their corners are hovering, this is a high visibility area.

    -Love the goblin tunnel twist, didn't see that coming.

    -coming back into crumpton... I did notice one thing. I love how active and animated your villagers are... however... their chat and text doesn't seem to reflect the fact that their homes are sinking. Their mayor threw himself down a well with grief and the guy next to him is telling me not to litter.

    -Yet again... nice goblin twist. Once again didnt see that coming

    -In the end when you find the boy you say “he is lieing on his back” but the npc was standing. It would be easy to actually have him laying down.

    -Love the pirate.

    -Love the erosion, laughed hard at that.

    Overall I had a blast. Loved humor and the twists.

    Wow! You really took the time to give superb feedback! Thank you. I will say that "Heeding the Call" was the first quest I made with the foundry, and I plan on revamping it. Your input gave me a lot of ideas! :) Also, will check out your quest after dinner! :cool:

    No problem man, I put 100% effort into everything... or try to lol.

    I have had some trouble with people finding it for some reason... not sure why.

    NW-DCSDQS5L2

    I think it is because people thing that "5" is an "S"...? All I know is I have heard from three or four people that they couldnt find it. Then I look it up with the same code and share it with them.

    Fixed and revamped per your advice. Well, not every single piece of advice, but pretty close! Tried to run your advendure as well today. You should have a big "DO NOT SOLO" warning... :p I enjoyed it very much until I reached "the onslaught" at the bridge... Then my poor lvl60 toon got beat beyond recognition. I didn't have a chance and had to give up after 5 deaths...

    Will try again when I have friends over though. Perhaps it's better to be in a group. :cool:

    In draconian ways you can still get stuck in the doorpost do not a bid issue.

    I finally got to publish the (hopefully) fixed version. I can run through it in foundry test play, no problem...
    You say it's still bugged?

    Could someone confirm if this works now? I never had any problem playing through it within the foundry, and I can play through it in game as well... If someone would just run through and check if everything is as it should be I will be mucho grateful.

    Bit later had problems going to the next map but suspect it to be a neverwinter issue.

    Had no problems in 3 and 4.

    So for me it was perfect.

    thanks for a great foundry

    Would really be glad if two of you took the time to play through this rough gem and reviewed it. Just need two reviews... If you take the time to give constructive criticism that's cool, if not - that's cool as well!

    Anyone bored and looking for a foundry quest they haven't played yet?
