No, it's not a bad thing. It just takes a while to propagate large files sometimes. It's probably on all servers by now.

[Alupinu]

Yeah, I figured (or hoped) it was something like that.

-Would like to start off with another Grats. Nice accomplishment from a lengthy time of work.

While playing the Beta i didnt really find any errors. Anything that prob was an Error, lol i found my way around. As i said before i do love the fact that you really have to set up all your Hench, and character in the right way or you might just find your self in a inescapable hole.

I for one, did enjoy your custom tracks, although there wasn't any ambient that was also fine. So how, hard to explain really it did not feel necessary to have in this mod.

Thanks Omega27.


Do you remember what areas did not have the ambient sound play? Every area had ambient assigned to it, I’m 99% sure of that. Maybe I need to turn up the volume.

It's very good. Tough for my party as well. I played it pretty much straight through. Area design is excellent and I hope they will be released separately. Combat is tough since I'm not that great of a player. I ran into a few oddities but nothing of note except for the more common than expected random encounters.

I don't want to talk too much because it's just out and it would spoil things for players.

But i did like the favor the random travel encounters, help give me a better chance of getting exp at times. I didnt seem to get them as frequent as others have said. Yes the combat was chanllenging but in a fun and thrilling way. I give you a big plus, i love a good chanllenge

Hey, tough combat? Sounds good to me!

My party wound up deciding "discretion is the better part of valor" and it would be best to retreat or try to run past some encounters. There were a few tweaks I would have made for my own module, but I support the idea that the party can get in over it's head.

*UPDATE*

Just uploaded version 1.01 no big changes as a matter fact most players wouldn’t even notice the deferent’s.

• Corrected grammar errors and misspellings.
• Rebalanced combat in a few areas.
• Fixed a few malfunctioning scripts.

 
Need to thank Kamal_ for his extensive play testing that made this update possible.

Aww Kamal didnt have to be so anal with the Grammar Errors.

Alu the combat was decent, i mean sure your party would prob have to rack up on potions. And bound to end up soloing fights with potions. But i did fail to mention the Gargoyles were tough as hell.

[kamal_]

Heh. May as well report them. Anyway, it turned out in PM with alupinu that I managed to do a few unexpected things and had a few unexpected things happen. My unusual party balance led to another problem.

LMAO… Actually Omega, kamal is right. You be surprised on how many people are grammar sensitive and some people won’t even play your mod if the grammar isn’t almost perfect. In MinD I actually had people say they couldn't finish the game because of the grammar errors.
 
Thank you Password, I hope you get a chance to comment when you finish I be very interested in reading your opinion.
 
Ok people the game is not that tough if you don’t try to tank your way through it. Yes, some of my encounters are tank destroyers that I admit. 
Try using a little common sense when dealing with some of the more difficult encounters. Here are some pointers that help me.
·         Scout ahead, it really helps to know what you’re getting yourself into before you commit to battle. Also gives you a heads up on what buffs to use.
·         Invest in range weapons, ever party member should have some form of range weapon. Punishing your enemy while they try to close the gap is always a good way to start a battle.
·         Choke points, many of my encounters where designed with choke points for the players to take advantage of. It’s always better to fight creatures one at a time then 5-6 at a time.
·         Whenever possible bring the enemy to you. Not only does this break up their ranks but also gives you the choice of where and when to fight. Choke points! Hint-hint…
·         Traps! Try painting down a bunch of entangle traps then arm all your party members with range weapons. Need I say more?
Well there you go and now it’s time for me to switch to decaf.

I had a blast with the combat in testing. It got a bit rough at times but the hardest part was the damned AI especially in the very tough one where an orderly retreat is required.

I had an issue with a missile user that continually blocked doorways splitting the party in two. I don't know if that changed in the final module.

As for the typos ... having me as a play tester probably did not help much in that respect

I really can't believe this still isn't up on the vault. Is it a two week waite time now?

[Arkalezth]

The Vault is slow like that... one of the reasons why a Nexus was requested.

Rolo Kipp is apparently ill, based on some posts in the NWN1 forum. Not sure why no response from Maximus. But this is one reason why we had the whole Vault is dying/find an alternative/Nexus thing.

[Alupinu]

Maximus told me last Thursday he was going to publish the mod on Fri. but that has come and gone. Now he won’t even answer my e-mails. I give up. We don’t need no stinking vault anyway.

[kamal_]

I may have to play this again to look for things Alupinu put in that I missed.

[Arkalezth]

Finished! I suscribe Kamal's review, great module, nice area design and music, and a big improvement from Murder in Dunlop IMO. I was scared of combat but I actually liked it (it was tough at times, but manageable and fun).

I forgot there was a new version up and I already had the first one installed, so I ended up playing v1.0... by the time I updated I was already at the end, so I might play it again some time to see the changes and to try a different character.

For reference, I started at level 2 and ended at 9. The module's description states 1-3 as the starting level and 7-8 as the ending, so you might want to adjust that (I guess you can finish at 8 or so if you start at 1).

[kamal_]

I started at level 1 with a new pc and reached 10 at the end. Since there are a number of hidden quests and of course the random encounters there's a good variation of how much xp you can get.

[Arkalezth]

Ah, yes. I only ran into a few random encounters myself. About hidden quests... I think I explored everywhere and did every quest, but after reading your comment I'm not so sure.

[Tchos]

I ran into an average of 2 or 3 random encounters every time I traveled from one place to another.

[kamal_]

Perhaps Alupinu could put a list of the secret quests on the Nexus with the mod, so we could see that if we want?
