Wyvern Crown of Cormyr

Post by **cely** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 4:42 pm

Patch 1.69, like all other patches, will be released "when it's done". There were some rumors that it was supposed to be out a few months ago. There was another rumor that the Bioware Live Team was instructed to work on Jade Empire instead which pushed 1.69 out to February/March, hence the recent flurry of "where's 1.69?" posts on the Bioware Forums.

NC and Paladins should get nice white horses, and MA should get Nightmares.

It would also be very cool if NS used the Pirates and new Wyvern Crown tilesets, the beaches from Pirates are nice and the Wyvern Crown cities are amazing.

I think this server is perfectly set up for mounts as is, but you shouldnt be able to ride one while carrying a relic (assuming they'll give some kind of speed bonus). But chasing those damn monks from horseback while they are running with a relic would be quite fun.

If mount ever did happen they should have negitive points towards spot and listen though, definatly no relics, and maybe a trample like effect for lesser creature goblins.

Would dwarves and halflings get ponies?

If you want to see how that looks like log into Amon and see for yourself. Dwarven Warponies, normal horses and warsteeds are available there (CEP 2.0 needed).
Not making publicity for the other servers (they use 3 whith a shared playervault) as the feeling doesn't come near NS4. Then again, it isn't a bad world.

oh wait...wrong game.

well, perhaps someone can start a bioware petition to have the PotSC and Wyvern content added in an official patch... then NS4 can include it!

I dont really see Bioware doing crap beyond this supposed patch since there isn't any real incentive to do so. Especially for the PW environment which seems to be the red-headed stepchild so to speak.

Heh, yeah given how the PvP balance in original NWN wasn't great anyway, then they seemed to do their absolute level best to make it as worse as they possibly could with the expansion packs I can believe BW aren't overly in to PWs.

If they are not included, I'd expect Brian to go on a trout flogging rampage at work (it wont be pretty).

W O W !

That would be wicked! I'd love to stroll to the coast and see a sandy beach with a pirate ship washed ashore, or see a giant fortress complete with walls and working draw-bridge from my own horse... etc..

Great tilesets... I liked the screenshots of Wyvern crown so much that I went online and purchased it.

this premium module does make use of cep 2.0. I have all the premium packages, including the Wyvern Crown, so it is already out. I dunno why the cep 2.0 isn't implemented, most of us probably already have it, and it really wouldn't change a whole lot (though you can really have some yugoloths now instead of a drider ya call a mezzaloth). Just my 2 cents.

it was decided long ago that NS4 would be a download free game. that also includes CEP's and haks. sorry, but i really doubt it will change this late in the game.

NS5 however is a different story. as NWN2 is a new monster, expect some big changes....hehahahehehahha

True that some of the content is CEP related. But if they make the content available in the 1.69 patch, and said content required CEP, then anyone who wanted to play the game after 1.69 would have to download CEP 2.0. I don't think it'll work like that. If it did though, NS4 could become a very different place.

I'm not on the dev team, so my vote means nada, but if 1.69 has WCC content built in I wouldn't be surprised if we started to see things here and there. I mean, who's going to elect not to download the patch after it's released? And if most people have the patch then why not add the content offered in anything new that might be added. (Note: by next year however, we will probably enter a fairly static state as the devs are already putting most of their effort into NS5.)

I read an article not long ago that said they would be polishing up 1.69 and releasing it sometime after Mass Effect is released in late November, so don't plan on seeing it this year but at least we have something to look forward to for NWN1 in '08!

I dunno Re, I think they'll release 1.69 before the end of the year. Here's another update, which says ride-able horses are planned to be included.

- Get/SetDescription() is in.
- The art assets from WCoC are planned to go in (TNO tilesets, etc)
- Yes, certain hay eating quadrupeds are planned to be in and you'll be able to ride them.
- GUI changes are extremely unlikely (meaning, no additional quickslot bars, etc.)
- Hardcoded or engine level changes would still have focus and priority over scripting changes that you could mod yourself.
- I'll look into adding some blank instant feats for any DM/Player/Emote widgets, to get away from the arms out wand activation.
- No, we're not open-sourcing the game code.
- No, we're not converting it to 3.5E rules.
- And no, you can't have my ice cream.

And I'm planning to set up an 1.69 content alpha test server and allow people to grab the latest HAKs as I work on them, jump into a test mod and help submit bug reports.
