Re: Mythe

[Talish]

Please do not send any funds or plat to Mythe for the time being. She may be shortly forced into retirement. Should that happen I will sell her entire inventory and split the plat among my main donors.

Thanks Riedra and Khyber for all your support over the last 2 1/2 years. You have all warmed my heart many many times.

[Lorichie]

Very sorry to hear that Talish

Take great care

Hmm to those few who asked why.. hehe and that was quick. The explanation can be found in my last post on this thread. It's easier than typing it all over again multiple times.

I sincerely hope they can do something for you. Turbine surely would like you to continue doing what you are doing. In any case, I would not do anything permanent to Mythe.

Best of luck getting this resolved.

Talish,

I have not had the Honor of grouping
with you, as I am on a different server
But, I Just read your Post and...

I am at a loss... and I can't find the Words
to express my saddness at the trouble this bug has caused you...

It is Truly a Shame, and I hope this bug gets fixed soon...

All I can say is Please...

Do not Delete Mythe, if at All possible...
After all your hard work...

That would be a tradgedy...

I truly hope things work out.

It is an amazing thing you do for the new players.

I salute you.

Finding players like you, is like finding a Diamond in a sea of Rhinestones...

Khyber is truly blessed to have a player of your calibur.


My heart goes to you,
Warmest regards,

Bekki

That is sad indeed, I would refrain from deleting mythe for a while , least 'till the dust settles. I ran into a similar situation as I rolled up a new lvl 1 - being I finally have an empty slot - and ran thru the new island quickly, and alas when a guildie asked for some help to get thru the marking for stormreach all I could do was tell him what he needed to do rather then tag along with and show. Obviously your situation it is much more imperitive, however Turbine must realize such a mechanism in design goes against the grain of a game where grouping is an key element of the play.

[Talish]

Thanks all.

Mythe is parked for now until I decide what to do. In the meantime I am creating a character to help new ones out. This character will be killed off and remade everytime she has completed Misery's peak (from helping) so she again can get back to the start. Unfortunately it means that all the donations I receive cannot be used.

Again please do not send anything for the time being.

Bekki thanks for the kind words. Keep in mind what I do helps new players but there is a selfish reason behind it... I love this game and it is to my advantage to see that it continues to recruit new players.

Mythe exists on all servers. Find Mythe and you find me . She is a dedicated lvl one helper on Khyber only. To work on all the servers would be too much for one player but when I need a break from Khyber I can be found on one of the servers playing Mythe. Perhaps Bekki our paths will cross sometime in the future.

I've created another lvl 1 character named Mythette. Thanks cdbd3rd for my new name

She will be helping on the island for now. I can use her to teach and help others work their way through quests for now. Once she is no longer in the first instance of the island and my help for that group is complete she will be rerolled to start over again.

Mythe is the oldest ACTIVE lvl 1 character in Stormreach but this one will be the most suicidal.

Mythe is currently in storage and will be for a while yet. Please do not send anything. Her inventory is full as is her bank. Anything mailed to her recently will bounce back to the sender.

I am trying to rethink how all this can be done any suggestions will be welcomed.

I'm really attached to my Mythe even though she is only lvl 1 she is my fav character. A group of players who helped her get her bank and pack slots once said they would love to fraps her charging the dragon. If I do end up killing her off I would like to do that.

I think it would be hilarious and a fitting end to my Mythe.

I didn't realize how bad it was til a bit ago when I tried offloading a stuck pre-mod-8 char to a guildie's new reroll, then going back with a char that had finished thru the island. Seems you're not even allowed to SEE the other characters, let alone party up with them.
(needless to say, I didn't group on Risia so hadn't seen this before.)

While it does stop (or greatly slow) plat farmers/sellers from delivering their goods, it may be cutting off our noses to spite our faces.


So, hopefully the future will hold a better outlook than maniacally charging a dragon.... (as geeat a viddie as that would make, still...)

Why complete Misery's Peak if it means having to reroll. Just recall out before you have to bust the Quoiri Mindsunder Gem. If you have guidied them up to that point then they shold be able to do the rest of the quest from there.

[Talish]

It seems there are more than 2 stages to Korthos island so not finishing Misery's peak is not the answer either. I'm just glad that Mythette finished the tutorial so she is where she needs to be right now. Also the way the mechanic is now, she will be rerolling frequently.

The following is quoted from a thread in Dev Discussion http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=162447&page=2

I'm surprised a dev hasn't commented on this topic because a lot of people seem to be confused - as I was. I put in a ticket when I was unable to allow people to join my LFM and /invite wasn't working. I kept getting the (Error): You cannot group with this player at this time. (You are currently on a different stage of the Korthos Island experience.) message so I put a ticket in.

The GM replied with:

there are 3 stages to the new area:

If you have not completed the Tutorial - you cannot group with others who have

If you have completed the Tutorial you can group only with players who have completed the Tutorial and who have not completed The Collaborator

If you have completed The Collaborator you can only group with others who completed The Collaborator but not Misery's Peak

If you have completed Misery's Peak you cannot group with others who have not completed Misery's Peak

Hopefully this makes some sense. It's still a pain when trying to form groups for Korthos Island.

I'm sure this wasn't a bug. I believe it was done intentionally for whatever reason. Immersion, slowing down plat farmers, or something. However I don't think the devs thought it through well enough and am sure it will get changed eventually.

Hang on to Mythe. It'll all work itself out in the end I'm sure.

WooHoo you are back *big hug* I can't wait to see you in game. Good to have you back.

*starts plotting new and interesting ways to get Dalgon killed*

heh yeah I seem to keep missing you ingame. I haven't actually been in-game much since I got back but I've been keeping an eye out for ya. I've been trying out new builds in the new player areas to refamiliarize myself with the game.

P.S. Dalgon's pretty hard to kill.... might have better luck with Thallnor
