Half of the Major update is Online! v1.2.9b

[Ziroc]

This is what I've been working on 6 hours a day for the last 4 nights on and off, and half of this huge update adds LOADS of things:

*** TOTALLY replaced Undermountain Level 3. You'll be shocked at how different it is--and how many things there is to do there. (Some quests are in there now, so are in the other half of the update coming in a few days).

Changed a few things in the Tavern, some NPC's looks, the Bedrooms a bit, Level 2 somewhat and a few other items. You REALLY need to check every nook in Skullport though, (level 3) to get the full experience.. Hidden doors, quests you get by READING letters or notes... Roleplaying.

Please check it out and post your thoughts here! (And if ye see bugs, post them here too!! Thanks my victims...er I mean friends! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Dang man...sometimes I think Ziroc is really Halaster. I mean,,,don't ya think it's obvious?

Z,
About Level 3:

Is the 'Cornered Local' a quest? He asked for help, I talked to the guards, they went hostile and I killed them, but the local kept asking for help...is that normal?

The guard by the docks said I need a pass, yet I havent found any sort of pass, I did however locate a different item that the guard looked at and said was a pass... but it wasnt. Wow thats confusing... but I am not trying to give stuff away.

I cannot get around the bed to get a look at the safe, I destroyed 1 fancy stool and still cant walk around the bed.

Toreg-akk looks like a mervhant or a npc to speak to, but dosnt respond at all.

Ok back to looking around....

Z, Can we still warp to 3 to have a look around? Or should we walk down there ?

I might be able to get on for a bit to night and check it out for you.

[Teri-sha Illistyn]

there is still a way down to level 3, its not too secret of a way, I kinda like it as opposed to the portal

[Ziroc]

Yeah, I'll make it more secret.


BTW, everyone, try to go in via normal routes(from level 2) just to get the full experiance, because the enterance has a BIG hidden quest.

Now the guards have to unlock the 2 doors in the hallway to level 2, but you can click on the guards through the bar doors and she'll open it for you. BUT, if you haven't entered that first door, she will make you pay 200 gold to enter--don't worry, she'll remember you paid her to get back. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm adding corrections and finishing the second half of the update now.

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Get ready to buy a dozen roses!!

I'm actually finishing up one right now, and will be online around 8AM EST -5GMT. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I love adding hidden stuff. and stuff for people that check every nook--a special treat.

Here is how deep I go with plots and secrets:

You see a letter in a container, and it says someone needs to hide from the guards, and where he hides his 'stash'. You then, can do find it. Later, somewhere, you may find the authors bones or dead body and on him is ANOTHER quest. I'm packing Skullport with this stuff. I kinda want it to be like a living underground city.

I'll be doing the same with Level 13. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My First trip to Skullport.

I went in to the new level three last night! Very nice, I think I checked every nook and cranny! I think I red every book in the book cases and cleaned out the store rooms. It seems like someone should challange you and call for help when you open the storage rooms! To just walk in and clean out everything was just to easy and no challenge was strange.
You really need to make it so that only someone with thief abilities and stealth can enter that easy and only if they can get by some kind of securiety. I was useing my paladin and it was like I was picking flowers.
Next I went to the docks and nobody challenged me on the way in. I cleaned out every Box, chest, cart, and container, still no challenges. Then I left the Dock and retuned to the gateway that return's you to the market area. Just after the gate opened and I started for the market and a guard asked what I was doing, I handed him the phoney papers I bought at the thief market and he said I could go to the docks. The only problem was I was leaving the docks not going to them?

The forge Doesn't work! What do I need to do to make it do something? I did Right click on it and then clicked on the use button after which I placed a (forge)Sword and a(forge)Jewel in it then I closed the forge. I then reopened it and both the sword and the jewel were both still sitting there next to one another.
I removed the Sword and jewel and went searching again.
The new layout for Skullport is great! A 1000 times better than the old one. One thing I remember from the old PNP Game,"The Ruins of Undermountain" is there was alot of monsters just outside of Skullport on the same level. Then as you traveled from the Market area to the dwelling area or to the docks you would have to fight one now and then in fact that was where I first incountered The gellatiness Cube, and there were always alot of thiefs with a 25% chance of an encounter in the passage ways.

I couldn't find any quests except the one guy in a cave room that had two thugs that were suspose to be after him. After killing them I went back to him and he said help I'm being attacked buy thugs again or something like that, it was the same script as when I first talked to him. I left the room and made a note to let you know.
After that I left because I had seen everything that was there to be seen.
