Streaming your foundry quests!

Oh! c'mon!

That's the increased difficulty that cryptic did with all the game.

At Svanem before you talk to Shau Katur, there were 2 easy difficulty + 2 standard + 2 adventurers (tank + healer) <-- I know this is difficult combination.

At the cave, those kobold encounters were: Cult of the dragon - Melee - Easy difficulty, Cult of the dragon - Ranged - Esasy difficulty, after them there were two standard difficulty ones, well, at least it's an example of how combat is messed up now, after mod 6.

And I don't know why that kobold keeps getting stuck inside that wall, maybe it's a bug.

I feel really bad when I saw you die again and again, it wasn't so difficult before mod 6.

Damm, now you will not want to play any of my foundries, even if I do them in english.

But remember that I warned you to not to go alone.

(But with the split group bug doesn't help either...)

Well, I guess I need to reduce the number of encounters, and even maybe quit those standard encounters, due to cryptic's fault...

PM: Remember, you didn't see the fishes!

LOL! I know, buddy! I am going to attempt it again tonight with a group!

And I most certainly will play more of your quests haha! My frustration (while jokingly aimed at you) was actually aimed at the insane difficulty of silly little kobolds.

Valcontar is happy again

but he's afraid of Group Split Bug in different instances

Hope you twitch before, or at 3-4 pm PST or 6-7 pm EDT?

I'd suggest not even attempting foundries with characters over 60th - Cryptics post 60 combat is just ridiculous.

Agreed, and that is the reason I had been 'trying' to play the level 40 characters. However, I didn't want to outlevel the kids by too much. If only I could find a way to get my daughter away from her Kindle. lol!

I would probably be more frustrated if it weren't for my gear choice. I think I may be needing a mouse replacement from all the clicking though. I made it through Locksheon's first campaign quest last night, I can see where pre-mod 6 it wouldn't have been an issue, but post mod 6 may require some repositioning of mobs. (I'll try to explain in more detail via in game chat or email.) I've had to reevaluate some grouping choices to ease difficulty at higher levels. It may be good to have at least one level 70 to test with, because after the "storyline" (used very lightly), players are going to go looking for more content.

Create another character --- getting to about 30 shouldn't take long. Although I saw you scrolling thru ALOT of characters so you probably have no character slots left.

...oh, and the sluggishness in "Invasion!" was, um, self-inflicted:
Tip: Be careful that large assets don't interfere w/underground timers

Hadn't updated playability in over a year, and since then we've gotten different "patrol speeds" so I re-tooled attacks back to delayed/simultaneous and things were much better - I was only able to save 2 houses of the 4. ...and I re-added some missing poison gas/steam visual fx to the leaders.

eldarth · May 2015

If you want a heavy lore/story, very visual quest
Rise of Ingeloakastimizilian [NW-DHHD2GTGJ] is back online.
You can see Sage Ramiel's new workshop and my "magic refrigerator." :-)
Length: About 35m

Other suggestions:

A Clash of Wills by @Scosglen --- ~30m excellent story/visuals
Bonderleafs Thorough Aggregator by @mrthebozer --- ~30m definitely different and entertaining

I DID see the fishes! And I completed the quest! At level 70! The final battle took a lot of isolating certain enemies from smaller mobs, but I finished it as a solo.

Yay!! I hope you enjoyed the "jump"

You can always tag along, any time. You just gotta ask. I mean, it's not like I'm standing in PE waiting on a dungeon queue to be kicked from before the first objective...wait...that's what most evenings have been like...

Seems no one is posting his foundries here... One thing you need to do is promote (and never stop promoting :P ) your foundries and Locksheon is doing a good and nice effort to show them, so please if you did a foundry and think is good enough for the show, just post it here!

Meanwhile I would recommend this one (if the author doesn't mind):

A Call for Heroes -> from Grimah

A really funny and outstanding foundry. One of the best I ever played.

(Locksheon, if you begin a bit earlier, I will be able to see it)

Noooooooooooooooo...

Then *I* won't get to see it.

Truthfully, for attracting the most viewers, I think it might be better a little bit later. On the US Pacific Coast it is from about 4pm to... 6pm or so? Most people in the timezone don't get off work until 5pm or 6pm and on average have probably a half hour commute to get home, maybe a quick dinner and it is already 6:30-7:30pm or thereabouts.
So right off the bat *typical* west coasters aren't available to watch/participate/chat the livestream.

But, that's just my 2 cents.

This is the reason I pay to have them save my past broadcasts

Short one for you if you want some filler...have resurrected my first ever foundry quest.
"Trouble in Conyberry" -- A prologue to my unfinished Ascent of the Underdark campaign .

Synopsis:

Ascent of the Underdark
Short Code: NWS-DLVBR44EK

Campaign Summary:
With the eruption of Mt. Hotenow, fractures under the surface have opened several new caverns...some have even opened new passages into the Underdark.
This campaign is about one such new fracture discovered leading down into the realm of the Drow.

Trouble in Conyberry by @eldarth

Short Code: NW-DBK3YOVJB
Mission Type: Investigation
Average Duration: 6 Min
Amount of Combat: 1 Encounter
Starts at: City Gate

Mission Summary:
A popular farm couple regularly visits Conyberry for the monthly harvest market. The revered cleric Tonree noticed their absence at the last market gathering. Tonree is seeking willing adventurers to investigate and find out if Donegal Silverleaf and his wife Thalia are okay.

gornonthecob · May 2015

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been trying to (finally) hit level 70 this week, but I'm looking forward to getting back to the stream tonight!

UPDATE: Looks like I spoke too soon. My internet provider is experiencing slow downs and outages across the board today. (You can sorta tell from this morning's stream but it's gotten a lot worse.) I'm barely able to watch a Youtube vid without losing part of my soul. Tonight's stream will have to be cancelled.

eldarth · May 2015

If you want a couple of ~30m story/lore quests I'd definitely like to see a run through of:
(Just make sure to find the latest versions - Old Magic has "several" featured copies)

Old Magic [NW-DGBLCWRFP]

Help an old Sage find some lost tomes from pre-Spellplague times in the Tower District.

Adjustable difficulty
A touch of parcour (interacting/climbing houses/ruins)
New monster(?)
Carefully detailed/animated final encounter
2 optional quests
WARNING: NO SPARKLE TRAIL -- Involves actual exploration and investigation!

Rise of Ingeloakastimizilian [NW-DHHD2GTGJ]

Sage Ramiel of Neverwinter has detected Cult of the Dragon activity in the Icewind Dale area.
You are requested to investigate and put a stop to any activity before it's too late.

Hi guys,

I've been working on my quest after publishing it for some time to find bugs and get some feedback. I believe it's ready for streaming.

If you feel like giving it a try and stream it - here it is:

Double Party
NW-DDI8G8OSL

This is a journey into imagination.
It is possible to run through it and have fun killing variety of monsters. However, there's a lot to explore and a lot to find out. It's up to you how much you would delve into the story, to find out what real is and what it is not.

I think it's quite an unusual quest and could be enjoyable streaming it.

I've received some nice comments from players and friends, but it's not the same as seeing somebody playing the quest. It would be really awesome to see it streamed.

here's a link to this quest in database:
http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?871501-Double-Party

dragoness10 · May 2015

Hate farming? Hate those easy quickie quests people don't spend time on?

Perhaps you'd like to try:

Title: You're Not A Farmer
Short Code: NW-DS8BGJCUS
Author : @dragoness10

See if you're the sort of epic hero than can easily glide through some honest farm work. Prepare for.... corn and WEEDS!

eldarth · May 2015

Buehler? ... Buehler? ...... Ferris Buehler?

archlegend1230 · June 2015

Hello. I left a review so I believe you have already tried out my foundry quest. It is now 100% completed finally.

You are welcome to stream it if you have the time. Thanks!

Campaign: Call of the Divines
Quest: Vol.1 - The Calling
ID: NW-DCSMPIMRK
Author: archlegend1230

-- in game as Arch Legend

gornonthecob · June 2015

Hey guys, I wanted to let you all know that I have seen your stream requests, and I have added them to the list. I've still been sorta ill, so I've been taking it easy, and have been exploring new areas of the game. I plan to resume streaming this Friday! Thanks for bearing with me, and being so patient. I look forward to playing your quests soon!

Here's a cool screenshot for ya. :P

dragoness10 · June 2015

Thanks for the stream and review. I'm glad it made you laugh.

On that same note, is there any way at all to be able to go in and edit one of our foundries that was entered into a contest (now over) and Featured? Since mod 6 when the traps were made much worse, I have received complaints about an entry I created back when we were still in mod 5 and traps were just a nuisance...if I could, I'd go in and just remove them from the adventure, but I no longer have access to it...

Nope. Copied and frozen in time when featured. I've got about 6 (I think) copies of Old Magic out there in various states. A couple had minor bugs dependent on scaling level chosen -- they were kind enough to re-feature one a day afterward when I found one of those bugs but they left the buggy one still featured for a "1-day" duration.

So - be careful you have as close to bug-free quest before Submitting to Cryptic.

I know I always find them helpful -- I'm using a lot more "Locksheon Limiters" (invisible walls) where some adventurous streamer might find their way out of bounds!
