Just tested a small quip with ion's alt soup.

LOTL partying with non lotl can give xp to alt. I see mega powerlevelleing cheese here.
Not sure if you can trade from non lotl to lotl chars haven't tested.

I thought to ban lotl partying completely, then thought not as ppl like to chat in parties even if not playing together, so maybe just no xp sharing with lotl players.

So turns out completing a lot of the quests as LOTL, you don't only not get XP, but you don't get some of the other stuff. For instance i didn't get the VF tome for finishing the supplies mission. Dunno if that changed. I also didn't get the shoreline kingswood ticket for the mino quest. And you can't 'b'uy the other ticket from shoreline.
Can someone buy me a res stone?

The VF tome is now a drake drop.

Small bug. LOTL cannot pick up mandrake root or nightshade when searched for at midnight. Chests still defeat wimpy priests and fighters that can't bash (begs egg for skull key usage on chests). And as noted on bugs thread, vampires aren't casting vampyric byte.

Seems all the holes are patched up otherwise. Not sure if you can portal hope with nonlotl members. But that'd be the only one.

I don't have a problem with portal hopping.

Bash: how to make it fighter/priest only and remove the str req? Because I agree that the newbie fighter should be able to bash a chest. Maybe just give new f/p's bash on creation, remove the str req, and require axe/ls/mace/spear/fists equipped to bash. Hope that r's and m's roleplay and use picks/ep. Nonfixed classes are a pain sometimes.

Skull keys drop from low level mobs, and are fairly rare [drop x1 only]. As a priest, with 20% rogue, I still have problems unpicking doors etc.

Would solve issues for low levels without having to re-do bash, and not make it an easy choice / infinite unlock ability (for which rogues / EP get an advantage). - Aka, you keep skull keys for boss chests, and lump it for picks on normal locked doors. If you pump a str build, you can hit 180 str quite early on, so its only really a low level problem.

Semi offtopic;

Bashing a locked chest dropping from a "boss"-mob and destroying the item in the process is no fun.

yeh ... locked chests on bosses! what a drag, bashing breaking things is a bad lift from nethack too (I think should just break potions not the main drop). ok, I'll let skull keys open chests. it's on the list for later.

Try again. I have another. Just for the hell of it, I thought I'd try to give +5-10 vigour items to a level 1, non-LOTL player. Then kill him.

As a result, a ghost appears. I get on the LOTL char and I "KILL" the ghost. I was able to pick up some of the vig, and when I searched the body, i got his money, which I had given him 200k.

On the flip side to that.. obviously not all the vigour dropped, so that's like a 10% chance to get the items that you want/need. I'm going to make a new LoTL char and take Magnavox off the LOTL, but he's level 27 sitting on 3 +10 vigour, a +7 vig, and 200k. I was also able to get a shovel to drop.

But anyway, technically it was a kill, so I got the gear, but that's still a bug. (i'll post this on the bugs thread, too.)

If it's a bug why do you keep abusing it?

I suggest only having people that are still LotL show up on the scoreboard (the top 10 one). Level 400+ with X res stones used and Y restorations bought isn't really permanent death or any kind of achievement.

Before the magic resistance changes, when dragons and daemons could actually hurt you, it was hard to level up without dying. Now there's no risk involved. That's not deserving of recognition.

Am I the only one who would like to see MR changed to way it was before(ie. no dmg reduction at all)?

I'd prefer that to the way it is now. But I'd still like MR to do something. Maybe a max 25% damage reduction.

Is it just me or are characters with low MR taking more damage now than they did previously? At least I don't remember dragons ever hitting 70's...

I like it the way it is now, just wasn't right for someone as high level as I am to have to struggle just to kill dragons. I take more damage now after this last adjustment, but at least I dont die like I did before MR was fixed.

It just needs to be adjusted to the level of the player. People over 200 should be able to go in and kill most everything. Maybe add some more MR levels (up to +10) and stretch out the level requirements from 1-125 like most items, same for vigour, should be spread out more.

I don't play pd, but this is the same for either.
