so i learned something important today while doing UC "Halls of Justice" which i recommend doing only with a party since it's impossible otherwise. I was unable to proceed due to the sheer number of mobs I was expected to fight, so i abandoned the quest, which DID NOT exit me from the mission map. After waiting for a GM…
I did, but also I had said previously if they offered it like they did for RaiderZ that I would buy it. I stand by my previous statement that it's a good model. After all the game is F2P, I realize there's a lot of debate on this but I don't have any problems putting some cash down for something I know i'm going to play…
I have to agree with this statement, and as a long time player of healers in other MMO's which use tab targeting the RaiderZ approach is nothing short of a revelation when you first see it used or use it yourself. If they stick to this approach it will be quite pleseant. although i want to add that i don't think of clerics…
Gallanda off and on for about 2 years, just recently came back to DDO to find it was a ghost town. Been playing STO and RaiderZ to keep myself calm while waiting for NWO ;D
Does anyone know if there is a way to add an NPC to your party with the NW foundry? For example if I wanted an NPC to join the party temporarily even if it's just for cosmetic RP purposes? Or do I need to have multiple copies of the NPC contact in the game as you move through the map? I ask because I'm working on a module…
I have to admit that when i first encountered a lock box, I was shocked. I did find the idea of a grab bag intriguing and when I did finally buy some keys to open a few lock boxes I was pleseantly surprised to find he items to be high end and generally useful (which made spending the money OK). However I would have fealt a…
I think that's great. I don't mind paying for features, but I'd rather pay for the extras. The biggest issue I see with paying for features is, if you are progressing through content that you MUST subcribe to play and for some reason need to suspend your subscription etc... but the game is otherwise F2P you lose access to…
I found it thanks a bunch turn out I wanted "What do they mean when they say "Free to Play?"" in the new user FAQ, just missed it the first time. If they're serious about it being truly F2P then that is VERY exciting. While I don't mind the DDO/STO type models, making it truly F2P means no "oh ya you have to buy that…
Ya really. Sometimes "hey you spelled that wrong" feedback is great, but not when it feels like someone is simply picking a nit. I do know quite a few people who are eagerly awaiting the release of this game, but it does seem to be limited somewhat to the PnP crowd. Although lately I have to say I usually play DDO and it's…
Modules which are created for specific single purpose campaigns or use by private groups will most likely never be voted up. I don't think it matters. Not everyone is going to use the toolset the same way. Over the years i've been consistenly amazed at the ability of users to overcome the limitations of these types of…
I can tell you that in STO if i use a Borg encounter that my mission will be locked at level 41+ If that's what you're referring to. Some of the groups have hard level caps at least in STO.
I actually don't find the STO foundry limiting. My perspective thus far has been that the Cryptic Foundry (in general) is at least as revolutionary to me as the original NWN Toolset was. That is to say that while they may not be identical in feature set, I believe history will ultimately show that Cryptic has found the…
OK i have the basic outline of the story arc, i'm going to start on dialogue and objectives and do some maps PnP style. I think i have a pretty good premise going based on the lore. We'll see. Once the game launches and I get the module into the foundry I'll post it to this thread ;D
I know what you mean, I have at least one module that I think is going to end up being a 4 part series, then another possible 3 parter based on a fantasy novel i never finished writing. Time travel I love it! problem solved we just send everyone back in time all wibbly wobbly timey wimey bam we can tell any story we like!
I figure if he's not in the game or any of his descendants, we still have the foundry! We'll bring that guy back even if we have to do a little magical time travel. For example I was thinking if Deekin is in fact dead, perhaps we can meet one of his ancestors and find out how Deekin died and what he was up to etc... If you…
So I've been sort of digging through old posts and going over some of the foundry stuff. I just started using the Foundry in STO, and I feel like I understand where if you played NWN or PnP D&D that this is probably a huge let down but I'm going to say something here that might change your mind a bit and maybe make it less…
I has a sad now Q_Q I had thought about it and realized that it would have to be a descendant. I never thought of him as Jar Jar binks, he was a pretty pivotal part of all my single player NPC parties. Deekin, you will be missed by those of us who loved you. This gives me a great idea for a Foundry module though ;D
