A Land In Need A Land of Adventure

[Styxx42]

Have only just started your module,
But I wanted to just let you know how much we are enjoying your work.
We have delved the wizards tower(Should update that tower with a REAL tower and add CEP to the module.
We are really undecided after basically finishing the tower deciding if we should take the portal on the lowest level. We are afraid to take it. But even with the two keys we have not been able to open all doors. (Two at the top of the tower)
So we are going to attempt it the next time we play.


Module comments.
So far 9.5 our of 10 maybe even 10 out of 10.
Beautiful designed. Some great encounters as well as varied.

Love the look of your waterfall level.
Following are all just it would be nice, and not specific requests.

I am hoping that I get more information on that Lightning Mage. WOW. TOUGH.

The bugbears should not IMHO be in a Room you HAVE to enter to get to the wizards main abode. They stink, they are dirty and I don;t think mages would like wandering through their area any time they wanted to come and go. Suggestion.
Put alcoves off that Central room that could be a main reception room. The Alcoves would lead to the BB Dens or warrens.


Not happy with the very begining after I have seen your next couple maps you created. The Only thing I dislike about the module thus far is the beginning.


Not really sure other then it just doesn't feel right. I don't like being squashed in that beginning position.

The boat shoots at you but no on is on board it. Put some sailors or something(even some skeleton sailors.)

The whole beginning still doesn't really mesh yet with what we have done.

What is with the Skin of Evil(or what ever it is called)

So far we are really enjoying the adventure and like I said we have only scratched the surface.

Can't wait to play it more. Love the doors you have put in, the riddles, the encounters.

Will get back to you later when we play more.

Thanks again for the release.



FYI. I immediately PRC'd and CEP 2.4 and ACP Fighting styled your module. Some errors after compiling but I will see if it is game stopping and let you know.

I HIGHLY suggest CEP version your already awesome work.

Thanks again for some pretty top notch work.

Hi!

Thanks for the comments and glad you are having fun.

The idea was that the bugbears are there to distract anyone adventuring in that this is anything but a bugbear den. But your point is valid as well.

The beginning area is an introduction to Balasaar and the Skeletal Keep quest. I agree the starting area could be bigger. I was thinking about creating an INN where you hear about this amazing waterfall....... you then adventure from there with maybe some henchmen etc.

You will find that each quest has some interesting twist and is design to create havoc among adventuring parties. I love seeing what players will do with the unexpected. You are going to find some pretty cool areas...... Some of the best are extremely well hidden....lol (See if you can find "The Abduction" a kind of SciFi feeling to it. I even created some cool golden robots for it!)

Depending on the level of your party and it's makeup, the same encounter may spawn a totally different mix of the same creatures and maybe introduce a new one or two you hadn't seen before.

I tried to keep CEP out only so that my mod could be played by everyone with as little fiddling around as possible.

Let me know how your experience with adding PRC, CEP and ACP goes!

First off this board SUCKS.
This is the third time I have sent this. Board has timed out and not even come up the last couple days.

Second thing.
MIKE your adventure is awesome.
Golems, of all sorts, eldrich elementals etc.

VERY SWELL.
BUT. We seem to be leveling very quickly and after I believe 20th level each and every player that leveled and either after a death or after a server reload(because we all died) the module would say and I quote.
OOPS, something is wrong... and a count down 5 4 3 2 1 and woudl boot us out of the module.
These are characters that where playing for I think about three or more levels worth of experience prior to this.

So is there a check of some sort? are we too high level?

It has literally caused us to all stop playing your amazing adventure.

ANY information would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Mike.

First of all sorry about the problems with the message board. I have been assured they will be fixed shortly.

Secondly, I'm not sure what is happening in your game. I believe 30th level and above is actually ok. I wonder if you have a corrupt module file? There should be no check that would boot you from the game. Has the game been updated by Bioware since you started playing my mod?

Any additional information you can give me would be appreciated and i will look into it.

What area are you in that this is happening and I can test it as well.
Maybe there is a script in the actual area that is causing this.

Adjusting the XP levels is easy if this is causing you to level too fast.

Has anyone else had the same problems?

Let me dig in Mike.
Remember I modded it with PRC so it could be it firing off.
Now that I know you don't have a script watching leveling I will dig in and see what is firing on PRC.

It has happend to all of us that leveled past 20 so it very well could be a PRC balancing thing.

I will let you know.

We are dying to continue on. That fight at the graveyard with that demon... OMG, he chased us all the way back to the woman waiting on word of her husband. ... Kicked our asses he did.

Thanks

Hey I think you may be on to something there!
Could be PRC.

Let me know.

Glad you are having fun!
Heh heh good old Ragmoor.

Man we had some fun times playing this mod.
I really enjoyed putting it together.
You have some real surprises in store.....


Keep the stories coming I love hearing them!
