dewinterArgh, I can’t edit it now but there are some typos! Sorry.
dewinterHey Zus,
Thanks for the response. Totally agree it’s mostly build stuff. I think the coding stuff you guys have done is great. Some syntax takes some getting used to/could be refined but I have had so much fun leveling a characters and creating a ‘build’.
I suppose I just want to encourage you guys to think of the easy solutions where possible. for example, instead of doing a full coded “builds” option for newbies, why don’t we just collaboratively build some signs for the STUDY room in the newbie area and maybe some help files with some builds for each class? (HELP BARD-BUILDS, HELP WARRIOR-BUILDS etc). I know that’s not as polished as a full coded implementation but I think it would be a good medium term solution.
dewinterOk… Case in point for some of what I wrote above.
Earlier today I was moving through the main quest line. When I found Veralis in the Wizard’s mansion, I automatically finished my quest, she says something and then you are directed to to QUEST LIST. When I entered the QUEST LIST I wasn’t up to the right level for the next quest. I had the exp but I needed to GAIN the level.
So I headed back to Ashenport and and starting trying to find each of the guilds which are shown on my map. Some of them appear to not be there now (or I was missing them?). Kordon then told me to teleport to Sanctus (spelling might be wrong), where I found a newbie trainer and Homer Simpson. The first thing thaentered my mind was the the first quest npc in Ashenport should really be in a newbie type academy, which could be a bit of a hub for new player needs. Anyway I GAINed the level and went back to Ashenport, then chatted etc before going AFK.
I come back a few hours later and cant remember where I was up to. Looking at QUEST HISTORY my last quest was to find Veralis, I remember I found her and what had happened. Now I need to find her again. OK, no big deal, its pretty close.
I walk out of Ashenport via the River Gate on the east, which I don’t think is shown on the map. As soon as I walk out, darkness. I step back into the city and start going through my 4 torches, they are all burnt out. My first instinct is to go to the Central Market area north of the fountain. Looking around there it seems no shops are open… Hmm… I look on my map and see there are 4 shops marked across the city. I go to each. The first is a located slightly differently to what the map shows, but I find it and its an armor shop. Second one is the Post-Office. Third is weapons and finally I find the supplies shop (a room or two off what the map said I think). In the supply shop I find…. an eternal light source that doesn’t need to be held….
Now… back to the wizard mansion…
dewinterYikes! WordPress has linked this account with something I set up in about 2003/2004! That’s disturbing but I can’t change it…
