The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread

[dteowner]

Most of us have made 20 now. We drug Corwin thru IQ1 after the session "ended" but he still has a couple ranks to go. Go ahead and take 20 if you haven't already. We'll run Shavarath next week to finish this group off. That puts us on the new toons in 2 weeks.

Also, happy birthday to Alrik, who told CM and snuck out before anyone could say anything. Unfortunately for you, CM tattled, and I'm very evil. So now I'm telling.

 

[Alrik Fassbauer]

Thank you regardless. I thought that this was a well-kept secret, because nobody ever knew since I'm here at The Watch.
I found that out only by chance that Cm has the same day as I have - so far i have found only 2 or 3 persons in my whole life having birthday on the same day as I have.


On another side, have just found an older browser bookmark with this title which might perhaps be of interest for dte : The article itself seemingly doesn't exist no more, but this is the headline : "Internet-Mystery in Wales solved : TV distorts [?] the net." Wales in Great Britain is meant. I vaguely rfemember that the internet connection of several houses was "challenced" every time a TV was switched on, as people found out one day. Apparingly it was radiating.

My sorcerer took level 20 and is ready for Shavarath

My dad's birthday was the same day as well, though we're not doing anything until today for it. So now you know of one more.

For the record (JM and Dte), the Swailing Blade is a Scimitar. I pulled one running Druid's Deep tonight. Then a second, normal one in the chain reward. They're more subpar spell power items than weapons though; with less spell power than the Myth Drannor longswords. I'll probably never use them.

Druid's Deep needs a serious tripling of it's XP to be worth running, along with a revamp of the gear. 80k for the chain, which is less than half of Sharn 3 that I've got done (which will probably finish out Mirys' current life). And it took longer than Spinner, which is north of 120k.

The Heroic levels on my spreadsheet are almost done. I'm missing only Necro 3 (L11, and 12, which are on the docket next life), Devil Assault Hard at 12, The Shroud, Enter the Kobold, Stealer of Souls, and half of Soul Splitter at L17 (Soul splitter is on my docket this life), Devil Assault Elite, Terminal Delirium and Hound of Xoriat at L18, Artificer Raid, Shavarath (next week), and Stormhorns at L19, and Tower of Despair and Lord of Blades raids at 20. I even have nearly all the 20-24 epic content in as well, missing the raids and Devil Assault, which I don't think I've run since I started the spreadsheet other than for the heroic normal version.

 

[azraelck]

Corwin, you need to log in on the guild leader before there's a coup.

I've noticed using Rana that every time she throws a Mass Vigor there's immediate lag. I actually died tonight in the fourth quest of Sharn 3 because it locked up when she threw her mass vigor spell. So that may be an issue, and worth leaving her at home from now on.

 

[Alrik Fassbauer]

You should write a bug report for that. Maybe it's actually something serious.

 

[Cm]

Restart was changed to Thursday with update 70. So everyone needs to log in with plenty of time for it just in case. No notes as of yet.

I did, actually.

U70? That was the release of Cormyr wasn't it, last month?

 

[jmurdock]

70.1

 

[Alrik Fassbauer]

Do we play until level 21 and then TR ? How how do I have to understand things ?

Edit : I just noticed to my horror that Grimma is still level 19 with rank 94 - 2 bubbles are missing ! I can fill up a bit via xp "stones", though. I cannot say, how much, however.

 

[Corwin]

I'm still at 19 with several bubbles to go, so you're not alone!!

 

[Alrik Fassbauer]

Oh, what a relief !

 

[azraelck]

We're finishing up 19 tomorrow night for those that need it; running L18 or 19 content so the ones with 20 can take it (and get XP for their runs). So you're good, you don't have to try and play catch up unless you just really want to for some reason.

Next week we should be onto the new group at L3-4 or whatever.

 

[Corwin]

Mine's still a level 3 with nearly 2 ranks still to go. Hopefully my daily rolls will get her at least 1 rank closer to 4.

 

[azraelck]

I think mine is still L3 as well, though I think I managed to pull 4 between the daily dice and running Korthos/Borderlands. I'm holding 3 until I know what we're doing.

 

[Cm]

Same here, 3 holding 4. The game has been suddenly lossing packets, slowing to a crawl with the lag, then the servers drop and restart. Not sure what is going on but it it is server lag. Once the servers came back up no lag at all. What a mess.

Yeah, and breaking boxes is even worse. I tried running that Sharn quest where you have to break boxes to find a book; after 2-3 minutes of just sitting there locked up I gave up and went to playing other games. I might have to start skipping Sharn just because of that quest being unplayable.

I've already stopped breaking things intentionally. Costs XP, but it's just too much lag.

 

[dteowner]

I doubt they're going to do much for Korthos beyond the weekly restart. The Geek Squad will be focused on Cormyr.

I was very nervous, but I managed to get thru an ETR/TR on Phuury without the game crashing.
