  • You forgot killing Salvage for AD.. Actually, most of those folks never came back. Sure, we'd eventually get more new folks into the guild to fill, and then lose others at the next kneecapping change to the game. I haven't played in months, partially because all 6 of my toons now have unusably full overflow bags, and need…
  • Planescape, starting with Sigil and spiraling out from there..
  • Thanks for the acknowledgment!
  • The new random dungeon queuing system needs work; The stronghold cleric gives my mid-grade alt (decent enough for T1-2 dungeons) the random skirmish and random epic dungeon's quests, but that toon cannot get into either of those queues, essentially cutting them off from contributing to the guild's dungeon shard needs.…
  • And just like that.. Guild Hall 10 is going up!! Come join the mature, casual gamers at Ancient Spirits! Whether it's talking DPS or favorite single malt whisky, we're a fun bunch and a gauntlet guild in a global, active alliance.
  • Guild Hall 9 is up, and we're already about to add another level to our Mercenary Outpost. Come join the crew!
  • That needs to be a stronghold HE: Cowtipping! [reminds me of the secret cow level of Diablo II]
  • We're almost to masterwork crafting level, but not yet. Still, I was able to make Phandar Dining Tables and some oak chests for decoration (which don't sell on the AH). I'm not sure I should be so enthusiastic about mastercrafting, but it's something else to do, right?
  • Congrats to our newest member, Markus, and we're 80% of the way to our Guild Hall 9 target. If you want a mature, easygoing crew to run with, Ancient Spirits is the guild for you.
  • Gotta throw my $0.02 in as well: It's rediculous that you can't complete a quest with stuff in your overflow bag, especially when the quests are WHY WE HAVE SO MUCH STUFF IN THE FIRST PLACE! And heaven forbid you run with Dragon Hoard enchants.. Standard questing needs minimum 12 for potions, injury kits, altars, and a…
  • At the end of 'Sleepy in Cea Tul', I had introduced a Githzerai character. I was going to spring off that into into another trilogy of some trans-planar hunting of Illithids, and spend more time working on a useable Githyanki custom costume for a clash there..
  • And, Ghosty, if you rearrange 'Ancient Spirits' you can get 'Sinister Catnip'.. just sayin'. Hey, it's a relaxed guild with great people, in a great alliance. So, while you're stuck during this uber-long Shard Maintenance, think about joining us.
  • Great guild meeting last night, folks! Lots of good RL stuff going on for members, and we finally got Legless Lego Legolas to abandon the Archery tree and spec Trapper. I'm glad to be in a guild where people understand 'Blazing Saddles' references, can appreciate the nuances of processing venison, and have a love of…
  • Foundry has been fun, and made even more so by the feedback and assistance of other authors. @waryur , my former guildie, was a great help when I first plunged into authoring! The storytelling aspect and cerative possibilities make for a very engrossing (and too often frustrating) process to 'birth' a Foundry quest.. Just…
  • I just want to echo the pleas of my fellow storytellers. Foundry is to NW what freestyle DMing is to D&D. Sure, when we started playing D&D, it was the DM using the 'Keep in the Borderlands', or one of the other mountains of TSR-published modules, but eventually, the DMs would be writing their own quests, doing their own…
  • 2.6K IV Protector here, packing Soulforged and Lathander's set. Managed Castle never with a good group of well-specced and -geared guildies on Mumble. I off-tanked with my Baby Yeti pet, dropping shield only to ITF, ET and IW, and Fighter's Recovery after some major Orcus hits. Just trading threat, back and forth, with the…
  • Former VIP, lvl 6, sounding off here. I was going to re-up VIP after Easter, but between this constant clusterforking with the economy and the slow-motion death penalty for Foundry, I just don't see it happening. Trade bar items are still things that brought in real $$ at some point, regardless of if they get used by the…
  • Sure, I do enjoy the creativity aspect of Foundry creation. I also like to share the experience w/ others. This game has become such a grind past level 60, you'd think that players and programmers alike would love the concept of crowdsourced creative content. So be it. I've got some other ideas for new quests, and may…
  • Casual player here, so I'll apologize in advance if I sound too sensible. The T1 and T2 Dungeons are fine and challenging enough as they are, especially for people slowly obtaining the gear as they go. I would think T3 and up dungeons would be appropriate for folk who are already rockin' BiS gear/enchants that need more…
  • Blanket Party!
  • And by UGC being "temporarily" unavailable, did they break Foundry with the patch? Crikey!
  • 5 months ago, I bought 6 months worth of VIP. They aren't going to see another nickel from me until Foundry is fixed and actually an integral part of the player experience again..
  • I wish I could have selected 'all the above'..
  • How about Foundry quest reward chests with motes, or vouchers for things people would have to grind the same content over and over to get? Run different Foundry quests, but get the same stuff that you'd have to grind one area over and over to get. The endless grind is one thing that burns out players, be it for motes or…
  • Sure, I'd love to do it, but the current tools and current state of Foundry, I would daresay it won't happen. The least they could do is bring back AD for doing 'featured' Foundry content, and get someone to run foundry and 'feature' new stuff occasionally. Please?
  • Perhaps the new rings dropping in the demonic HEs is a shift away from infinite stat inflation. It is cool, in its own way, magic rings that have one special property. Then, they could retire the current stat-bonus rings (better save up some, they'll be worth loads on the AD market). The only problem I see with that is…
  • YES, PLEEEEASE! I have a ton of lumens on one toon, with the artifact that will no longer take them, and a different toon with the artifact that won't accept anything else. Hellooooo.. Either let the Lumens be account-bound, or let the Simril artifacts be upgraded by conventional means, regardless of level, now that Winter…
  • You obviously didn't put any feat points into punctuation. ;-) That aside, my puny 2.5K archer gets out-DPSed by similarly-leveled GWFs & CWs all the time. CoA only works against trash mobs, RoA only against stationary mobs, and the decently-DMG producing encounters have insane windup times, so forget hitting mobs on the…
  • Interesting, as I've been dreaming of Sigil as well.. how did your map work out? How did you accomplish the 'ring' feel?
