Jeff revised the encumberance system as he announced so all items in the backpack and quick item slots don't count for weight. There still aren't enough slots in the pack so you have to decide between carrying what you think you will need and making lots of trips to bring back loot (as I''m making my third trip back for more). He also increased the number of items you want to keep with you so get selective. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Be afraid, you're becoming the propaganda minister for the emperor. You are solidifying your status as his underling instead of his equal. Besides ET can take care of himself. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Aran would stick around to take notes for the statistics until he fixes the his bots. Slarty would be over in Geneforge 4 producing his analysis of the game and writing his revised version. Some of the others might stay to snipe, Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Since Dikiyoba reads the threads for clues about the personality quirks and gimmicks, regular posting helps get you into a story eventually. I started out posting mostly in Avernum 4 about firebolt and acid spray effectiveness in spellcasting so now I'm one of the mages. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Aran I asked this once before, but is the number of new members those that register or do you subtract out the spam bots? If we are getting one new account a day that is a bot then about one third of the new members last month were bots and about half of the non-active accounts that don't post are bots. That leaves a few new members that haven't posted because they are true lurkers and the oldies making extra accounts for their nefarious purposes.

Yeah, but Thuryl only had it until he reached 7. I still prefer print comics, but Kenzer and Company used to run webstrips of new material for Knights of the Dinner Table. They still have some at web strips with the rest only available in print form. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I'm surprised at the number above 30. There are a few above 40, but most of them don't post that much. The age choices need to be more defined into 31-50 and 50+, Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The costs vary a lot as you do quests for spell sellers and depending upon your current reputation with each faction, Shapers charge more if you are heavily biased towards the rebel cause when you want to buy something. I've seen prices drop from exorbitant to pretty average and back up as I did quests for each side. Also some people won't sell to you at any price until you do enough for their side.

With a new game coming out this isn't a good time to be Banned. You either miss out on getting questions answered or being able to legitimately buildup your post count answering them. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Some one needs to ban our newest member adult site as we start the new month of statistics. Maybe Aran can see how many new members are banned because of this. It seems to be an increasing problem. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Ah, the UBB is causing duplicate posts again. I have thought about trying the battle shaping set except that I ran the new tier 5 one in the expert area against the boss monster and was unimpressed with the damage versus essence cost. It cost as much as a magic creation and wasn't any more effective. The only savings is in skill point cost to get the battle shaping. I think Jeff went overboard on making fire shaping the easiest way to go. My fire shaper type finished with 24 intelligence and 15 fire shaping when he wanted to create something. With that army all he had to do was buff and heal. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Jeff started replacing graphics about 2/3 of the way through beta testing. The fyora is one of the few graphics that was changed so all earlier testing games using it are no longer playable with the new graphic. I don't know what types of error may occur if you rewrite the scripts to replace it with an old one. The new one has more of a resemblance to the raptors in Jurassic Park.

What's fun are all the things that don't turn up during normal play. Reading scripts can give you all sorts of useful ideas on how to subvert the game. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Never tried the upgrade for the gazer although even one gazer is fun (look he's smiling). I got by just fine with the normal group although I did try some cryodrayks. Pity that the upgrade for drakon comes when there is almost nothing to use it on in the game. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I never got that much in one spot to see the item limit. You will find that money disappears quite quickly in Chapter 3 when you get access to better spells, shaping creations, and training. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I'm happy with where I wound up at the end. I thought some people said they have something else they needed to do like homework. Aran - To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer. At least I know that your plans to take over the world or at least the board will be set back for a while. It's almost like an episode of Pinky and the Brain where they scheme to take over the world. The formula to estimate spam overestimates the previous legitamate posts. Still short of wasting weeks to examine every post to create a baseline it will have to do.

This is a partial list of creations that the player could create. It depends upon getting the appropriate level of shaping skill, learning one ot more levels of the right creation skill, and having enough free essence left for the mininum amount. Jeff has two versions, the normal and one at 3 levels of creation skill, Some of the 3 creation level versions are charged versions of the original instead of ur- versions that were in previous game. For example the charged ornk now does more damage if attacked in the fields and can suddenly die and explode while eating. This board might crash if I tried to include even a partial list of all the new creations and their variants that Jeff made for GF4. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
