Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

keep walking (caught me for a second too).To all who did the art work map looks great.

 

Aha! Thank you very much!

 

Ah, thanks! I missed the key word "addon".

 

Gaear, with the reduced XP, is it still possible to get to lv 20 with an average party size? (5 people)

 

Is the title screen supposed to say version 7.3.1 after the add-on is successfully installed? The clothing chest and green rest tent are present in the starting store so I'm guessing no.

 

Same here. I still read 7.3.0 but everything seems to be fixed.

 

I've noticed that NE Clerics of Obad-dai still turn rather than rebuke undead - I thought this was one of your 7.3.1 fixes Gaear? Thank you the rest is absolutely great - especially not getting "Kented" as soon as I reach Hommlet!

 

Gaseous Form reduces subject movement speed to 10 feet. Is that intended?

 

Will gust of wind clear out cloud kill and stinking cloud?

 

Damn, I'm such a blazé adventurer... After I looted the gems from Zuggy and she threatened me with the "after 66 years I'll be hunting for you!" thingy, I thought to myself:
"Sure, go ahead... My human allies might be dead by then, but I'm an elf, and already have 10 levels in just a few months. After those 66 years I'll just need to look at you and you'll wither away like the sorry mould that you are..." :bored:

Anyhow, that's not really what I wanted to say...

I have 2 proposals for the next version - though I don't really think it'll be feasable.

1) Awaken:
While not that many players will see the need for this 5th level Druid spell, I surely am one of them. I like to play around with the Animal Familiar NPC's, and some added intelligence would seem quite usefull. So.. is it possible to incorporate this spell?

2) More parties to fight:
The most interesting fights to me are the ones against other parties. I thank you for the Verbobonc Drow fights, they are a blast. But is it possible to set up a script somewhere (Verbobonc Arena, a return to The Arena of Heroes,...) where one can fight other parties? Maybe even incorporate the ones from other players - by extracting them from save-games we send to Co8?

These are just ideas, and I hold up very little hope of them being possible. But hey, if it does work out, partieeeeee!!!

 

I absolutely agree.I love the Robin Loxley fight and I loved the fight from the Oger Cave entrance. Finally a group with a wizard who really used nasty spells like improved invisebility (I think it was). If you see any possibility to place that group somewhere else, if that wouldn't hurt your sense of "module purity" too much, it would be great.
Maybe the idea of the Arena as a place where you could fight hard opponents with hardly any XP and no loot, so that don't interfere with the actual game, might be very attractive for a lot of players. A place where you could just go for a pure primitive fight when your wife and kids and the work next day doesn't leave you more time than just an hour to play.
Well since I can't programm all that - just daydreaming.

 

^ Don't forget the Nulb Ambush fight, the Slavers fight, and the Constable assassination fight, all of which fit the description as well. I also wish the adventure party RE could appear a bit earlier since they're way too easy for a lv10+ party.

Then there's the final fight from Desperate Housewives, too bad it will never be back

 

And, don't forget, the Wandering "Non-Hostile" Party.

 

They seemed pretty hostile to my evil band of adventurers.

I mean, sheesh ... all we did was ask them to give us they're equipment.
