SHAME... you didn't put any new Abbot fixes in the WDA.... Come on Eladrin. Goggles bug, goggles puzzle, encasement all need modification for even the crazies to run this on normal.

Whats the Abbot?

The guy on the left. ==>

[Drider]

Hey Abbot!

[Gratch]

Whats the Abbot?

Your crazyness quotient sadly made its save thus preventing your awareness of the Abbot. These aren't the raids you're looking for. Move along.

even the crazies to run this

[Lorien_the_First_One]

If I had to guess I'd say it's the ladder in the fire and bridge room on the way to the named rust monster. Unless you had D-door or a really good jump it is a pain to get out of there in one piece..

lol oh...was that ladder supposed to be reachable? I always assumed is was a deliberate DDoor or death spot.

True,
but Good Player eventually = "Twinked Out"

Only if you are the type to grind to death. If you have limited time or like playing a variety of chars at diff levels that isn't necessarily the case.

[Aspenor]

Thank you for saving me, but the Abbot is in another castle.

[The_Phenx]

So no fix to make fleeing mobs able to be hit then?

sigh pout...

CHEER for the rest

As one of the "crazies" I do have to say, I haven't even attempted the Abbott.

Something about beating my head against a wall....and it being low level of fun...something like that..

Sadly, for one of the first times in this game, I really don't feel like I am missing anything by not running a raid.

I really hope there are more spells planned for this mod, along with more enhancements for other classes besides rangers. What is everyone else supposed to do with their 8 extra action points? I guess we can beef up the other "enhancements" like swim, listen, etc..

[Vizzini]

Aww No more death Sprint Races through House Kundrak Gorge!

NEW Starting in Module 6, the hard and elite monsters in new quests at very high level (CR 16 and up) will be getting tougher as their starting CR rises. Hard will become increasingly more difficult and elite will become a real challenge. Be prepared to start facing some particularly tough bosses on elite CR 16 and higher quests.

Let's have a top 10 countdown for how this will be good for the game:

10) Characters without top tier equipment will find the game really expensive when attempting elite dungeons, and we know how rich those characters are (cause they didn't waste money on all that top of the line gear...).
9) AC becomes meaningless and we can force everyone to wear hot swappable, snazzy looking robes.
8) Wizards and sorcerors with way too many spell points can now waste huge amounts of mana on failed crowd control attempts.
7) Low con elven rogues can now die with one non-crit hit. Slimy criminals that they are, good riddance!
6) Exploitations of poor dungeon design and game mechanics will now be more popular than ever.
5) Clerics and other healers will now actually become desired in groups.
4) Bad rolls on the D20 will make it so some elven females will go semi-naked from death item damage... that can't be a bad thing.
3) Casters can now leave empower + maximize turned on all the time, without fear of wasting any spell points.
2) Monsters will be smarter, more deceptive, and use better team tactics now. Gameplay will be drastically improved. ...oh wait...

and the number 1 reason this will be good for the game:

1) Non-DPS character builds will make better mules than ever!

So glad that our desire for more spells has resulted in them removing a spell rather then adding more. /sarcasm off

I see nothing wrong with them removing a spell if there is problems with it. Would we all like more spells? Yes, of course, but adding broken spells into the game is worse then not enough spells.

i have noticed that a few changes that should have been implemented a long time ago are missing.

1- the ladder bug
2- when a cleric logs in their dv's are reduced to 5
3-the bug that makes you switch from buy to sell when trying to buy drinks


these are bugs that have been around quite a while and should have been fixed a long time ago with one of you famous hot fixes.
