Title: Rope Ladder in Gobsquat
Post by: Dash on May 15, 2010, 07:15:50 AM
Can there be a rope ladder in gobsquat leading to the outer forest from that ledge area?

Currently Gobsquat is the only area that does not have a way of getting out of the city that is easily accessible like Docks or Ziggurat - you can't even access the inner city ruins. It's completely blocked off to anybody who can not freely travel the Ziggurat and option other than braving the nightrisers at night would be welcome.

Wich is a real issue if you play a MPC, i remember rual had to waste a potion of invis every time he needed to go to a place where he could try to mig something. OR if it was day, take the long, looooong route through the sewers, but in that case he couldn't acces the inner city ruins nor the noble's gate, unless he wasted an invis.

There's an underwater passage as well, which is very doable if you know the way.

...and the sharks don't eat you, so you need invis. Unless they got removed?

The sharks aren't that bad.

Another way out would be a nice change for certain.

I agree with the OP and think it would be a good thing. Not everybody is running around with an 8 player quest train and sending tells for their friends to come get them. They simply want to get from point A to point B solo, to RP and it kinda sux when you cant, (solo, as in sharks suck).

I remember this being asked before but yes, it would nice to get it. The balcony from the Gobsquat should at least offer an easy way to get out of the Gobsquat, if not in.

Yeah, the balcony, let you drop off it into the water, right next to a transition out of the water into the Outer Wall Forest, that would be appreciated. As for getting back in... A scripted swim check, combined with another tumble check if you have a rope in your inventory for getting a grappling hook/rope up there to climb up, perhaps?

Going through the water is difficult and requires supplies, fighting sharks at low(er) levels with no armour can do a fair bit of damage without wasting potions just to go see if anything is happening. I basically quit a character because of this so I fully support adding a way to leave Gobsquat for Zigg haters that does not involve supplies!

I'd also like to add that the current two only ways out of the main Gobsquat (The gates guarded by the goblins) are fairly annoying in PvP situations, especially when it lags.

Any means to leave the Ziggurat compound from the Gobsquat that doesn't involve sewers or swimming (sharks) has my full support. It would be so sweet.

I'd like to see this as well. As of now, leaving at least at night time for a lower level monster involves drinking an invisibility potion or having some sweet stealth scores, as far as I know.

I'd love to see more tumble checks where a rope is required or gives a bonus.

I understand that there is a shortcut through the water directly outside, right? But that there's sharks in the way. How about a new underwater path that branches out from Gobsquat, one that goes directly out to the wilds and bypasses the sharks?

Yeah, level 4 PCs don't solo sharks easily.

Just one more thing Howl, the other two entrances to the squat require to pass a door with guards, it somehow doesn't feel right this new entrance doesn't, considering you can get away with not paying and entering even if you are, say, a dwarf.
