Maelstrom and NC shop portal

[Nyeleni]

After Dragon Air has sometimes a "malfunction", I thought it would be fun if the ferries wouldn't work properly all the time either. The explanation could be a maelstrom, carrying the unwary and unfortunate adventurer to one of the islands around you. Being somewhere other than the port in FD, IoD or Sunken, but still on one of the islands.

Of course only after lvl16. The lower lvls are too careful not to get near the water. Being scared out of their mind most of the time .


AND
Just a bump (from other threads, as I already wrote about this issue): it would be nice if the NC Nexus would get a fast access to the epic store. Placing it in the Plane of Positive Energy might be even considered now, after the Lumis don't dish that much damage out anymore (as long as you aren't evil ).

I'm pretty sure I've seen the planar store spawn in posi plane. I can't remember where exactly, but I thought it did anyway.

[Nyeleni]

Really? And you tell me now? Well, I guess I have to farm in Posi plane again.

And what the boat sinks and you die and lose xp? And then how about it's just not available until the next reset, because that would be fun..

I loved having my level 10 fall to his death and lose xp because of the dragons. 154 damage? I've seen level 30s that wouldn't survive that.

I think it could be interesting if the dragon suddenly developed a yearning for an "in flight meal".

Dragon Air is akin to Taliban Air..

Ive attempted to fly 5 tmes since added.. got there once..

Best time was running from Melencia to Byrn for short hop to av xing and landing.. back in mel..

(dmg thus far has ranged from 13 to 102, though ive seen several toons go SPLAT, so I doubt thats the limit)

[Amoenotep]

tep still hasn't fallen off one

[ashsagoon]

tep still hasn't fallen off one

Yeah when tep falls off one then it'll get nerfed

[Nyeleni]

I didn't fall off one yet either .

Why dont we take a flight out to Angmar?

I would like to know if there are any dicerolls involved in this dragon thingy. And if not, then suggest that a dexroll, should be added to check if you fall off or not. This would be more "realistic" as a more agile person would have better balance when flying a dragon. While a more clumsy person would have a hard time holding on to the dragons back, or whatever you hold on to...

I like the maelstrom idea aswell. Sounds rather dangerous and funny =) However, I would also like to suggest that a constitution check was made while taking the trip on the ocean. If failed, then you would become seasick, with a temp disease or something like that.

This would make a boat trip much safer for a clumsy dwarf or half-orc, while a dragonflight would be more suited for an elf or a halfling for example.

Problem with that is str based people could say "We should fall off dragons less, we have a MUCH better grip!" Seems like a ride check would be the most suitable way to not fall off
