Ah, so, the time has come again. Already a force once heralded as the Ragefist has been about in the land, perhaps his former brethren will return en masse in order to combat the nasties and the squishies and the evils out there .

It's being looked at, last I heard. In PnP, it's supposed to be a higher level darkness/light spell to cancel the current darkness/light effect, but as it stands in NS4, there is no cancellation. Maybe some clever fellow or lady will look at Drow darkness as well, and notice that an hour per level i...

LA doesn't get "burned." You have more characters, ergo equality with the factions that have fewer, but an ally. Merely repeating a thing doesn't make it true, I know, but I've never waded through so many people as when raiding in LA, so I'm gonna have to go with the supposition that you guys are do...

There just isn't any pleasing most of you people. Not to be rude, but the relic system was added to give focus to the supposed faction conflict that exists as a background to the world here. Less useless PKing of faction leaders/boss people, more time spent engaged in high level vs high level pvp, w...

Yeah, and if there's any server side lag at all, it doesn't take a meddling DM to cause problems. But yeah, the drow version seems to be especially prone to do funny things, largely b/c of transitions etc etc.

Pretty decent defensive setups, allthough none of the relic cradles I've seen has been all that hard to defend Wrong, so wrong. SL has a good defensive setup, true. Their drow guards are awesome, they have clerics and dual scimmy guards (crits ouchy). Also their relic cradle is located in the Templ...

modred have i told you its great to have you back. BUT this isnt the ns4 that you remember . alot think they are playing ns3.5 were you lvl and are happy and none hurts you. LOL so true *wipes tear from eye* I miss the old days of raiding another faction with a group of 9 level 9-16 for awesome xp....

Ah, true, I missed the neg 2 con because it was on the next line of text, hidden by the three other +2's . . . .

Also, I've never seen the light sensitivity work, but maybe nowhere in NS4 is brightly lit enough for it to be an issue. Since that's the case, I'd argue that it become an ECL 4 .

Giving LA more XP because they don't have allies would be, to put it bluntly, retarded. Spreading the love around for the other allied groups might be interesting, but would essentially halve the number of "factions" vying for relics. At least, if the allied bonus were in place, people might stop ra...

Maybe it's b/c the relic system benefitted only those factions which already had overwhelming populations . . . . . or maybe it's b/c people from those factions realize that, by and large, time spent running over hell and gone to get a relic is time that could be spent actually enjoying the game or ...

Yeah, Drow has ecl of 3 for several reasons. No negative stats. DARKNESS (which can be worked, even without really cheesing, very effectively to let a toon kill stuff he has no real business fighting) and that lovely little bit of SR. Having inherent SR early on is sweet action. Suddenly that cloud ...

Yeah, not sure if the server is having script fits, but Twilight Rager's ( a buddy of mine) PM summon was pretty much permanently without its correct undead subtype modifiers (evening of March 4, '05). Crittable, no pro-paralyze, no increased dmg from fire, etc etc etc. Haven't tried attacking any m...

If you've been on the server nigh unto 2 years, you'd definitely realize that the first two happenings are pretty easily explainable as server antics. I'm rather certain that the DM client can't supress your hotkeyed healing kits and potions wihout removing them from your inventory -- something you'...

It's possible that it was a dev or a DM testing out an item or a possible new ability. It'll be ok, you most likely didn't lose any XP, and you got to see something interesting first hand. Take a breath and rejoice that you witnessed a possible future, today.

First, this is not how it has always been. In fact, for quite some time, disarm didn't work at all, b/c characters were getting weapons off of NPC's that they shouldn't have been able to get, etc etc. Then it got implemented into PvP, and people whined. Then it got taken out, and people whined. It's...
