*shakes the dm's hands*

Post by Wolfarus »

Again, ty for all the work you guys have put into NS4. People were talking (in game) about how many people were flaming you guys on forums about the bug issues and such in NS4, and even though ive shouted (at least 5 times lol) that is a BETA server group. so expect nastyness for a bit, they dont seem to understand the concept. So im just taking it apon myself to tell you guys GOOD job, and dont let some flaming troll-tards' get ya down.

Since i cant access the bug tracker, ill just post what ive noticed here and hope ya dont smack me if its in the wrong place heh

1. Spells. Im a lvl 2 wiz, lvl 2 fit, and i have access to NONE of the spells ive chosen thru my lvl-ups. They've just disapared out of my spellbook. It lists the cantrips, but cant memorize/use those either. Apparently clerical spells are offline as well..

2. Base attack. For allot of people, its showing up as a big fat 0 in their char. sheets. So its either a display/picture bug, or an actual number bug.

3. Respawns (underground in particular). Ever since i got on today, underground has been devoid of monsters, save one "off floating out of reach, stuck in the ceiling/wall" that some player mentioned. The bandits in the ice flats seem to be respawning at almost double rate.

4. Somebody killed one of the half-celestial warriors earlier, got a +2 sword and armor for it (apparently was rather easy) Im assuming you guys didnt mean for them to be killable? at least w/o a reprocussion of some sort?

5. Exp seems to be a bit wacky too. A bandit elite, rated as impossible for my lvl 4 guy, took AGES (a good 10 min) to take down, multiple healings on my part and he only gave up 152 exp and nothing dropped (not even gold).


Ok thats the stuff ive noticed so far, both from my game play and the shouts. Now for a bit of a wish list..heh..

I like the way drops are going. Not everything drops stuff (more realistic from a RP world point of view) However would be nice if the drop frequency was upped just a TAD more. Purty please? :lol:

Being able to check on your job status (how many points until next lvl) w/o having to go all the way back to see peppin would be nice.

I have yet to die enough to where im in danger of going "back beyond" my current lvl number (say 3000 for lvl 3 as an example). But rumor going around and people are saying that if you die enough, you CAN loose a lvl you already took. This true? (hope not)

Throw in some rez scrolls at the temple or magic shop for sale?

Ok thats about all i can think of for now (pretty tired) Again, AWESOME job on the new world, its going to be Grrrrrrrrrrreat! (once all the bugs are ironed out and we all get a personal stash box or some such heh)

what are your stats/feats? what weapon are you using? need more info

152 xp sounds good for a level 4 character, imo

i disagree, death should be feared. makes people think twice about engaging in dangerous actions. vulnerability = excitement = fun

Throw in some rez scrolls at the temple or magic shop for sale?
i feel that those arent needed. wheres the fun in that?

i agree, awesome job devs!

Well, im buidling this guy as i did my char on NS3, a Fit/Pm (weither or not he'll be as effective, build wise we'll see) As for my stats...

Str 18
Dex 8 (never had a use for dex, since im using heavy armor and such)
Con 16
Int 14
Wiz 8 (same thing as dex and cha)
Cha 8

Feats are : all the basic fighter feats, plus exotic weap. Prof. (currently using a katana)

As for the exp. thing. i still think its a bit off. The "impossible" rated bandit gave me 152, while the "over powering" one gave me 97. Just seems the numbers are a bit off, given their ratings against my char.

a good use might be reflex save, just something to think about.

Wolfarus, the Devs, Pre-open Beta Testers and DM's appreciate your comments.

The more you post the more they know what is going on. I am not sure why you can't connect to the bug tracker, here is a link --I hope this works.

http://www.nsrealm.com/bugs/login_page.php

The DEVs look at all that is said in hopes of bringing you the best mod out there. That does not mean everyone's wish list will be added. But the mod will be fine tuned.

Thank you for taking your time to OPEN BETA test NS4 and for taking the time to report what you have found.

It is the players now who are going to be helping the DEVs the most!

With regards to the spells/AB problems.
AFAIK, this is a server wide bug that affects many (if not all) characters and monsters. It seems to be related to class/level abilities, and additionally prevents one from leveling up. In any case, I can't use any of my spells, and I just finished fighting a bandit who had a -3 AB. :?

FYI in Last Allaince you cannot become a PM. Your build will simply be unavailable to you in LA. Might think about reading which presitge classes are where before playing once the wipe and restart is done. :)

Hope this saves you some later frustration.
