New area contest

Post by **Netrom.dk** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 1:40 pm

Yes, we decided to PW protect it while we tested out the new areas. We only test if the scripts are firing since most of it has allready been tested. The reason for the PW is that when a script is broken it gives a shout debug msg, and its pretty clear where the areas are, which would ruin the contest.

Ofcouse we did find some errors, which will be fixed ASAP

Yea it was a planned shutdown, adding the new area i would guess

It seems that everything works as it should, and the race to find the areas are well under way.

It's not gonna be easy to find, like Flailer said, its an epic extension of an old area that was allready well hidden.

One word of advise tough: Bring a party, and be ready for some great fights.

guys, quit logging out of places when you die. the boss amazons in the buildings wouldn't spawn so i'm trying to kickstart them. very annoying to walk all that way for a zone that won't spawn.

Yeah, that axe wasn't easy to get at all. Most of my party got wasted going after it. Luckily we were able to bookend the queen and champion and play peek-a-boo with my HiPSer until they were dead.

Then, we had to roll for the loot. I lucked out and got one of the axes that way.

Druids, I think, would love some of the drops as well.

Things should be a little tougher now. And, 2-4 upper 20's to low 30's should be able to take care of them - area's meant for about mid-20's level.

It was a decent sized party of 5 or 6. But, we were all in the lower to mid 20s, I believe. I know I was still getting XP (180 to 240ish) while in the party and I was only a level 21. If the party had players much higher my XP rake would have been pretty bad.

Their listen checks are pretty good, too, making it a little riskier for a HiPSer. Pretty much on par with a solo raid on the dwarves so far as the annoying random spots when you think you're safe.

shimi (my HiPSter) only got spotted when they casted tru see and got the +20. my party was low 30's and i was still getting about 450xp per boss. not really good xp alone for the little guys though.

What's the name of that axe? Looks like part of the name was cut off.

I edited it out so it didnt make it clearly obvious where the new area was located. Its Axe of the Amazon Queen
