This is what really goes on in that floating rock...

I find it silly that the item rewards for this quest are not rogue only.  Infact I don't get why the quest isn't rogue only since it is obvious no non-rogue could ever get it done perfectly.

You can pop in for 30 seconds and get some really nice stuff.  It just makes no sense at all for all classes to be able to use it.  The druid and sorcerer only quest rewards are that way so why is it not that same way for this quest?

I know when you skin a giant lizard you get it's corpse item.  So, I was wondering if this could be included on the jungle cats as well, like panthers/leopards/etc...?

I was at the village today, is there a reason that some but not all, are brown skinned not pale skinned?  I figured this is a bug?  Specifically I mean the two near the ropes.

When I use the spell animate dead, by items, it sometimes animates a shambling corpse that has the zombie warrior template with improved stats and two attacks per round instead of the default shambling corpse.  It is random it seems, also when it does come it uses 56 summon points and not the 30 the default animation seems to use.

I think lightning bolt and ball lightning should get a 1 round stun if the save is failed.  I know that if you were zapped IRL you'd be stunned for a second.  It adds a bit of strenght to the spells while not overpowering them.

Okay.  I have played on this server for a long time.  I have seen its up and downs.  Recently all I see is everyone wishing to change everything about the server.  I remember when people where content with what EFU was and very much enjoyed it.  As a player I hear other players talk behind the scenes and many are not so happy with the direction EFU has gone.  Our player count is lower than it has been in a LONG time.  Don't take this the wrong way as I am in no way bashing the hard work Mort, Snoteye, Howland, and other put into making this server.

I often feel as if many of the short comings could be fixed with a more active DMing team.  We have a HUGE list of DMs yet I very rarely see more than 1 or 2 online if any in my play times.  In fact I mostly see Mort/Germain/Gippy ((recent)) IG on a regular basis, of course maybe I am wrong.  

The thing that brought me over here, as well as a few others I know very well, was the fact it had no haks yet was always having DM spice and events and DM interaction on an extreme level.  Now I am lucky if I can even get a DM for something minor.  I know that people will say you should try to do things without a DM but sometimes you just need one or you are tired of doing quests or exploring the SAME area without a DM to show you what you cannot see via limitations of the graphics, etc.  If they are on IRC just chatting away they are often 'to busy' chatting to help IG which I feel that if they wish to DM they should take on the negatives ((plus I do not see how these are negatives, helping palyers with issues)) as well.  Sometimes DMs say they are overwhelmed, well perhaps get rid of old DMs that don't wish to and find players that want to?

Also this new party system, I'll keep it short since it's been covered.  This is a game.  I play to have fun.  This new system is so frustrating it's beyond funny.  I take a shit in RL should we add that in too?  I am here to interact with friends and enjoy myself.  I honestly doubt it has cut down on any metagaming.  You can send tells or use IRC as always to locate you friends or set up whatever you want to.  Some people have HUGE LCD screens that can set high resolutions and see very far while others cannot.  I often lose my party members from slow zoning and lag.  With no parties I often feel as if I am just hacking my way in a single player module.  The aspect of group and companionship is gone.

These are my own personal views and concerns for a server I very much enjoy and have played for years.  Feel free to share what you think.   Perhaps I am totally wrong...

Yes my old machine died in a tragic freak lightning attack.  So, now I am looking to buy a new computer.  I don't need a new screen or anything.

Does anyone know a place to get good deals on them?  I really only play NWN so... it wont have to be that good.

Alright thanks.

I was looking through some of the various forms and saw that some get feats but you don't actually get them.  So, I was curious are these feats meant to be in or not?  Krenshar and Shadowmastiff are two that I can think off offhand.  Krenshar is supposed to get flurry and I imagin shadowmastiff gets something like powerattack.  Anyways, since everyone thinks druid forms are what makes a druid powerful then I say these should be fixed to work right.  If you shift briefly it says on the feats missing how it can be fixed though that may not be how it is done though.

I was wondering if we could get bear form back in the druid wildshape menue.  I read on the old forums that it was disabled but here we seem to have a great variety of bears!  I think it should be put back in as a choice.

I'm not sure if this is something mechanically or been around, as I have never played a druid or a ranger who used the animal empathy skill.  Sometimes when I cross a transition my pet, one I have taken over with animal empathy, seems to just poof!

It doesn't happened always, and now often, but it does happen.  Anyways just curious about it.

I read on the old forums rangers get a +4 spot/listen/search bonus if they have 5 ranger levels and are in a wilderness area.   The new forums do not list this but if it is still true then why shouldn't druids get this as well?  I mean, you all gave them tracking so oviously they would be able to spot/listen/search for things better in wild places too.

Rangers still would have their favored enemy bonus above druids.

Just an idea, anyone?

Okay this is a bit annoying but the dyes are not all right.  Atleast I know that the dark green dyes sold in the Stargazer Village is infact, bright blue.

It stinks because I paid 50 gold for dyes... and it's not even near the right color.

I was thinking how it is odd the stargazers do not sell any wands.  They hunt and all so perhaps they would sell some bone wands or maybe a 'stick' wand.  I know you cannot make a 'stick' wand model but you could just label it and change the description.

I've had this idea for a while, but I know very little to nothing about scripting and what is possible.  You see, I always thought the animation selection was very limited.  All you can summon are zombies of creatures.  My idea was pretty simple, make some bones you can sell that animate into a baisc skeleton.  Perhaps the model you use for the lizard healing charms.  Nothing super powerful but it would add some flavore to the undead selection.

Of course maybe there is more now, but when I played a necromancer you were limited to kobold zombies, goblin zombies, and a deep lizard zombie.  Just an idea to throw out there!
