Neversummer 4 Forum Archive

So, I disable my firewall - no change; switch off the hardware firewall in my wireless modem - no change; replace my wireless modem with my old DSL modem - no change; re-attach my wireless modem, but manually open the necessary ports - no change. Then I remembered I had installed Peer Guardian years...

Well, I was bored, so I re-installed. As usual with an almost 10-year-old game, the Gamespy list of servers isn't working worth a damn (and it definitely isn't my firewall), so I'm giving a direct connect with ns35east.servegame.com a try. Wish me luck! [edit - Nuts. Would anyone happen to have the ...

Good heavens... is Neversummer still around?!

I just noticed the old forum link whilst cleaning out some of my old bookmarks. I'm seriously considering re-installing now.

It's a long-standing bug. As it happens occasionally on non-custom scripted servers too, I'm guessing it is a Bioware bug with area-effect spells targeted in a particular way. It's like the game engine "sees" a single target multiple times. Not a lot you can do if it's a problem with one o...

If it can't be scripted to reliably regenerate over time, scrap it.

Not sure if it's wise to make a major change to fix a minor problem. Crit immune is supposed to make a character very difficult to kill via melee. [edit - nvm... not supposed to be a PM fix]

Hey, noticed the bug tracker link has gone the way of the dodo on the front page... did the devs still want bug reports made? Aside from a few that are still around from the beta, I've noticed one for certain with the MA jobs & another I'm checking to see if it's repeatable (non-exploitable).

The funky question of the day is... why bother hacking the NS3 forums in the first place?

Maybe it's God's way of telling DV his post count was waaaay too high for his own good.

The only downside I can think of so far is creating artwork (models and textures). It uses the new pixel shader which means no open source tools can be used to make content (at least easily that we know of). It's $3-4k for 3dsmax7 or nothing If I had a nickle for every firm that used, erm, "liberat...

Yeah, you're right... was thinking of a build on another server when I wrote that (don't think NS4 has the pre-requsite level 7 & 8 bard spell slot items).

I'm guessing there aren't any plans to extend the XP range to 1200ft...

There was supposed to be an extremely low chance that artifact-level items would drop off of any CR 21 creature or higher. I killed the two high-level dragons in Sleeth 103 times (according to the stack of pennies by my monitor, so 206 attempts total) without getting anything but the regular drop, s...

It's a problem with the size of the no-damage zone that surrounds the caster. There's a report on it in Bug Tracker (0001193) from almost a year ago. The accompanying jpeg shows just how far I was able to get away from the petrified Guardian without him taking any damage. One more sidestep to the le...

As you cryptically asked in your post, "Without a green hand to greet ya what other spell can i use on u?" I'd say the second cheese, IGMS, is fair game. Cross class the sorc with paladin and throw in discipline at lvl 40 and you don't even need bigbys to protect you. It's an option if you go LA, A...

I think it's still possible to metamagic Ice Storm via bard levels on top of that. At least the shifter spells run up against the SR wall... hey, does the claw attack ever fire with the staff always being equipped? On the upside, with so much of the shifter predefined by skins and items, at least a ...

1) Cast Bless on a bolt. 2) Cast True Strike on yourself. 3) Fire the bolt at him/her/it. 4) Do the dance of joy. Actually, I'm being a bit glib here - Blessed bolts were working vs shifter rakashas a while ago (months) when I tried it out last, but I haven't tried it out lately. But since you've al...
