Some of you may know that Blaek and I are still playing Neverwinter (FTP)
We (I) have finally made it to the end game and I find it even more fun. There are dungeons that folks can ask join. Random groups are formed. There is at least one dungeon that is near impossible to conquer and we know, JUST KNOW, if we had a Saga group with us, we could kill that final boss. We are pretty sure if 5 folks of the right configuration asked to join as a team, that team would drop right into the dungeon.
It's an interesting challenge. The deal is, if the Boss hits anyone, adds spawn. Really bad adds. So if lots of people get hit, lots of adds and we all wipe, quickly. Now there is at least one strategy that will work, but everyone has to be very good at what they do. And it calls for a classic group: tank, dps and cleric.
Blaek has several accounts that have level 60 characters. Neverwinter is based on DnD, in that you have dailies, timer and once in a while powers to use. I think anyone here could quickly pick up how to play any of the characters.
Anyone want to log in on his account and help us out with this (and maybe a few other) dungeons? We are thinking about doing this the weekend of March 15 or 16.
Let me know! :)
Aaaaany one?? :-[
I volunteer! :bdg
What level 60's do ya got?
Unfortunately, if you are looking for people to not get hit in Neverwinter, I am not your person.
Also, I'm kind of busy right now.
YAY Namae!! We have any flavor character you want. Options are...
Great Weapons Fighter
Control Wizard
Ranger
Thief
Guardian Warrior
Maybe devoted cleric, although I think I'm gonna be that. I've the better build than Blaek's character and both my mains are on one account.
You'll want the Ranger... trust me on this... they are Overpowered and Awesome! Not to mention really fun to play! I've not played that high level in Neverwinter, but it really is a true Ranger class (with much less "Loading... Please wait..."
I've never been a ranger before. It could be fun!
Ranger IS fun. They are overpowered, but not in the end game, such as these dungeons. I'll have to make sure Blaek (the tank) isn't on the same account as his ranger (Halagren!!) If not, you'll be Halagren, then. !!
My character in Neverwinter was a Control Wizard. Depending on what time you are planning your shindig, I could be persuaded to join you. The only thing is, that weekend is likely to be very hectic for me. We are meeting potential adoption children on Sunday and our 5 year old's sister is coming for a 5 hour visit on Saturday.
AWESOME!!
Although if you are busy, we could use your talents another time. We might have managed to pull in our boyz to help us too. With Namae, you if possible, and one or two of our boyz we'll be SET. Ooh! This will be too wonderful :) :)
We are thinking Sunday. What times are best for you, Namae and Jez?
This weekend? This weekend I'm clear. Next weekend we should be home by mid afternoon Pacific time. If we aren't back you may need to start without me
This weekend. March 9th. Sunday. YAY!
This Sunday? Eep!
I have a prior commitment from 1:30pm PST to 7:00pm. If it's after 7 or ends before 1:30pm I can make it. Next weekend I'm totally open. Next week, too.
Should probably mention: I've never played the Neverwinter MMO before. Where do I start?
Hm. Good point about starting. Which profession did you want to play? If you are interested in wizard, I have Lark available. I'll give you the log in and you can play whenever. If you'd like to respec her, I wouldn't mind. Then you can just take her out and see what she can do.
We can do the same with any of the other above listed characters. Blaek and I have a busy Saturday (today) and an open Sunday (tomorrow) so we can work around anyone's schedule. And we can do it again next weekend! :) :)
Ok. Your 1:30, is my 4:30. My next question is how early do you wake up? How early does Jez want to get in game? Your 7:00pm is my 10pm, which will be too late tomorrow but fine for tonight.
What is everyone's availablity tonight? I'd love to get you the log in information; just need to know which character you want to play :)
I've been playing around on my Control Wizard to refresh my memory. I had forgotten how fun Neverwinter is!
Bahl is out of town this weekend so my attention is likely to be diverted by the needs of my 2 year old. I can have unrestricted play time when she is napping beginning at 2 Pacific if she is being cooperative. I can play anytime but can't promise not to take ninja afks!
Babies take priority! :) :) And yes! NWN is really fun. Particularly at rank 60. Let us know if you need anything to outfit your character. We have plenty of stuff to share :)
Let's get your girl guilded!
Looks like you and Namae are on opposite schedules. Which is fine. We'll game with you, Bou, in the afternoon and with Namae when she gets up.
We'll have the boyz fill in the rest of the group or we'll take pick ups (and expect little from them)
Jez, we are talking about the daily dungeons available to join when you press K. Rhix gives the quest, but you can do them w/o the quest.
If your wizard isn't 60, YOU'll want to take Lark to set her up. Gotta be 60 to join us.
She's 38 and already guilded. So yeah, I'd need to borrow Lark unless you want to wait a couple weeks or so.
I'll pm you her log in :)
Ok, finally got Neverwinter to work! How do you wanna meet up?
Tell us which character you want to play and we'll pm you the details! :smitten:
The ranger, if possible!
Jez? Namae? Any hope for this weekend?
Not sure. I'll log in if I can.
I'm open Saturday until 5:30pm EST, and Sunday until 8:30 EST. Lemme know when you'll be around! :)
YAY! Namae, did you get into the account at all? Blaek said he got an email or text from you but I didn't hear if anything came of it :)
I did! I played as Halagren for a bit and killed a couple dark elves as I practiced switching from ranged to melee and using my powers. I've got my nostromo hooked up with the controls and stuff. I might need some pointers on being a good ranger, but I can log in anytime now. :viking2:
awesome.
We are heading ig for the dungeon event tonight at 8pm est/5pm pst.
Any chance you can join us? Like last week, Sunday is our better day for gaming during the day. We can hook up then if it is better for you. Or both! :) :) :kia
Namae, we are done for a few hours. We wil try to be ig in about 3 hours from now (3:20pm est/12:20pm pst)
I'm sorry I keep missing you! :'(
Is there a good time this week for me to be around..?
Nah. Weekends are best. We'll figure it out!
In the meantime I've respec'ed Lark the control wizard and she's fun. We are thinking of joining a guild so that we have a specific group of folks with whom to do these dungeons.
Irony escapes me not that when I'm FINALLY ready to be a group player none of my beloved Saga members are in the same game as me :(
Actually, I've started playing again and have my wizard at 49. Bahl got interested too and is just starting to play again. There is a lot good about Neverwinter. I just forgot how much I enjoyed it!
AWESOME!! I'm excited. We won't join a guild if we have you both to join us in the dungeons! YAHOOOO!! :viking2: :tan:
BTW.... Blaek is in charge of crafting and he can make some awesome stuff. Let us know what you need.
Might want to talk to us about crafting and other stuff...astral diamonds are what you are going to want moving forward, although coin is useful for kits and potions.
Would you mind starting new characters? Bahl made a ranger who is now 11. I have a 9 rogue, or I can roll up one of anything and catch up.
Blaek has started a new character. I'll figure out what I want to do. Might make a wizard...
