ohh crap almost forgot...


I killed one plaugeborne and it completed the task...should have been 5? FYI

I ran this last night....

here is my 2 cents of input.


Make them hit twice as hard and have half the hps they currently have...

I found it really easy to tank the normal mobs even solo with my warrior and no heals.... with a healer I was able to tank fairly large pulls... on the surface that sounds fine but with only 6 toons my AOE dps is so poor that it was kind of silly to pull a large group when it took me 2 mins to kill each mob or longer.... I did not time it exactly but it took good long time...

I had several plaugeborne spawn and this was great... they hit hard.... and felt well balanced as a challenge for 6 toons:)

I got 1 essence and 4 xp shards and about 25 undead items from 1 clear... so looks good.. and where I see xp shards I usally find GSOA at some point so that is good...

When I summoned my banker to hold some of my piles of loot he was aggroed by a mob I pulled... and he tanked the crap out of it.... that banker is no slouch:) I also was able to do this with my merchant... and I assume my pocket porter as well... free dps is great thanks!


The guard mobs in the boss dudes room respawn in like 5 mins... and they seem to be the only thing that respawns.... and that is nifty... but they dont respawn at the right level every time... some times yellow con normal mobs..... sometimes white con normal mobs.... sometimes one hit wonder white mobs....

so I was pulling the last few mobs I needed to complete the kill count and one of the white one hit wonders spawned on me and poped a plaugborne on me with 4 other mobs all ready in tow.... this was a neat added challenge.... people died.... group survived.....long story short... neato!


OH and also...some of the mobs dont aggro... like half of them give not a single shit if you run past them... some care..../lazy mobs for the win!


This is a fun mini so good work!

sorry i broke some of the stuff.....

sounds like fun:)

what in the actual fuck?


just click em man...


move along....

did we not have some people reporting this issue with running multi processor systems?

I have had the open portal spawn as a mob that moves around... in a group of undead in the cave... once the time expired or whatever it turned into the red con portal and I killed it with the rest of the room when I pulled them....


the portals are alive! and want you to die!

I was wrong in the instances here.

now that we are not having the sync issues it's not bad...

We do tend to all band together into one large super raid here and that is kind of easy mode but whatever... I don't join in sometimes because I am not in a hurty to finish t10....

in all fairness the zone trains you with traps its not players so much...the desync is gone.....you should try it...

all banned!


now that they are clicks its pretty slick

change is change is change

lolz!

Introducing Hardcore Character Mode on Shards of Dalaya! Consider this a "beta" if you must but it's not "beta" in any way that will save you from death.

!!!HARDCORE CHARACTERS Q&A!!!

1. What is a Hardcore Character?

A Hardcore Character is just like any other character in Shards of Dalaya with one key difference: YOUR FIRST DEATH ENDS THE CHARACTER'S EXISTENCE.

2. Are there other differences?

Yes. You gain experience much much faster than a Normal character. You get a shiny *HC* after your character name. You may not join an adventure band. You get a cool graphic on your character's fomelo indicating your Hardcore nature. You will not receive experience for a fight in which you do not participate. HARDCORE AIN'T FOR CHICKENS! Finally, once again, when you die, you are removed from the game world and your character only exists in Fomelo.

3. How do I become Hardcore?

Be level 1 and talk to a Priest of War. Follow the dialogs as appropriate. If you are level 2 or higher, you may not enter the Hardcore Life. If you die before flagging Hardcore, those deaths will not erase you (but maybe they should make you reconsider your decision). Once flagged Hardcore, your next death is final.

4. What happens if, I mean WHEN, I die as a Hardcore Character?

WHEN you die as a Hardcore Character, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

5. What happens if I die due to lag?

If you die due to lag, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

6. What happens if I die due to a zone crash?

If you die due to a zone crash, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

7. What happens if I die due to using an AA such as Life Fire?

If you die due to using an AA such as Life Fire, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

8. What happens if I die due to /cm suicide?

If you die due to /cm suicide, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

9. What happens if I die because some jerk trained me?

If you die because some jerk trained you, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

10. What happens if I die to bugged content?

If you die to bugged content, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

11. What happens if I die because Admin-Slaar GM KILLS ME?

If you die because Admin-Slaar GM KILLS you, you are immediately booted from the game world. If you are above a certain level, perhaps the World might be notified of your demise. The image on your fomelo changes to indicate your dead status. If you try to log in the character again, you will be immediately booted. This is final and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

12. Can I un-Hardcore my character at any point?

No.

Yup that would be pretty awesome...all of that....

well it would probably boil down to a hardcore instance and then you would only have it accessible by hardcore toons...

all buffs would be removed on zoneing

would you spend the money to twink out a hardcore toon with a uw? a mana neck? ... only to lose it on death....?


would be kind of neat to see people group up...based on skill...and progress that way...

Anyone play hellsgate? they had an alternate mode that was "hardcore" you could create a char...and play the game...but once you die...you are dead...so maybe you could create a "hardcore" toon that could only get buffs/items from other "hardcore" toons and this would be something you could have a leaderboard on.... and say like red names in game ...

this would also make people not want a toon army cause its harder to keep a squad alive than 1 toon....

just a thought....


even getting past qvic in hardcore would be a challenge lol....

math still dont work for an extra 300mil in the bank with 3 uws on a t3 group sorry.. not even close

I am not jumping to anything when a 3 boxer has 300 mil in the bank with 3 uws I think we can call it confirmed that WAY to much plat is available to the low end players atm because of the uni poop and gsoa's.....SLS was one thing but 8 or 10 mill+ for drops they can get in the abundance is out of control inflation and BAD for the server:)
