  1. Comparing this server to others is like comparing apples to oranges, as the saying goes. RoA is different, and requires an adjustment.

     

    Your class assessment is based on playing on other servers, and playing on RoA as if it were one of those other servers. It is not, you have to make adjustments accordingly. The most powerful characters I have are happen to be rogue archers, and a wizard.

     

    As an archer, be it arcane archer, rogue, or whatever, you need a lot of DEX. Take advantage of that, wear cloth armor for the uncapped DEX modifier to armor bonus. Point Blank Shot will remove the -4 penalty for attack of opportunity rolls, but it will not eliminate it. Hit and run tactics at lower levels are advised. Rent a cat or dog to assist you if you are soloing. Also, do not limit yourself to a bow. Think outside the box! Use acid/fire bombs, or caltrops. Yes, caltrops. They do more than 1 pt of dmg now, and scale with level. Just be sure not to step on them yourself...

     

    Spellcasters can use summons, just be careful not to let them run amok in crowded areas. They can also capture certain summons, which are more powerful than the normal kind. Rogues and bards can also use this tactic with wands, as the UMD 25 + spell level only applies to scrolls.

     

    Any spellcaster will get a fletching widget to make custom arrows, use them. If you are not a spellcaster, there is a character that sells arrows... and others may be willing to sell or give you some if you ask the ones using them.

     

    Crafting is a very valuable tool as well, baking especially. Although our crafting system will be replaced with a new one soon, it would be a good idea to start baking. Baked goods can have some very useful properties, as can fish!

     

    Both fishing and mining provide a good cash flow for buying better gear.

     

    The best way to learn how RoA operates, however... is by playing. Trial and error, learning from other party members... just hang in there, and you'll be doing fine before you know it!

  2. The plural form of "forum" is "fora", not "forums"

     

    From dictornary.reference.com:

    fo·rum

       /ˈfɔrəm, ˈfoʊrəm/ Show Spelled[fawr-uhm, fohr-uhm] Show IPA

    –noun, plural fo·rums, fo·ra  /ˈfɔrə, ˈfoʊrə/ Show Spelled[fawr-uh, fohr-uh] Show IPA.

    1.

    the marketplace or public square of an ancient Roman city, the center of judicial and business affairs and a place of assembly for the people.

    2.

    a court or tribunal: the forum of public opinion.

    3.

    an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest.

    4.

    the Forum, the forum in the ancient city of Rome.

     

    Both spellings are acceptable, and "forums" seems to be the accepted usage in the context of forum software.

  3. Further testing revealed that the was facing the proper direction. The game engine "facing" or "orientation" of a door, however, is the exact opposite of where the arrow in the toolset points.

     

    This problem only occurred with doors that have a specific script on them. The script has been modified, and will be in the next update.

  4. Issue: PCs get stuck inside a door.

    Location: Annakol City, door to the post office.

     

    Details: This happens when someone exits the post office. After testing, I found that I did not get stuck, but was facing the wrong way when I arrived in Annakol City.

     

    Resolution: The door is facing the wrong way, and needs to be rotated.

  5. We are using the IP.Chat that is included with the board. It only allows 5 connections. However, it is not an on site chat... it is hosted on another server, and the issue seems to be an unstable connection. Others do not seem to be having that issue, so it may be latency between you and the chat server.

     

    There is nothing we can do to resolve this issue, short of switching to another chat. We will look into those options.
