Internet Hamachi session, looking for party

galdur · 09-06-2006, 05:10 PM

Hi,

i am looking for members to my party. I've played IWD over LAN, but only with one friend. I want to try it with more members. Anybody is interested?
Program you need for internet play is Hamachi. Everybody will play just one character, and pausing in battle is forbiden.

You may wish to rethink that last bit...

Being unable to pause in battle is not simply inconvenient but also dangerous, particularly for spellcasting characters. Changing weapons, redirecting attacks, or steering a character away from danger in real-time is very difficult and not a pleasing prospect, even to IWD veterans.

I'm just saying that may put people off a bit. Might you reconsider?

"Changing weapons, redirecting attacks, or steering a character away from danger in real-time is very difficult"

Like in real battle.
I love it.
The only thing which sucks is fact, when you dont click on enemy, but next to him, ranged character starts to move to him... but rearming is cool also, it just takes some seconds... like in real battle.
And choosing right spell in battle is also dificult... oh yeah, i know it all, and I like it.
You have to discuss with your party tactic before battle... or you got pwned.

Oki, i've found one brave heart. Now we are two. Anyone wanna join?

Well...I might be interested...but one concern:

Your location says you are from Slovakia? Won't that mean a lot of time-zone crossover?

galdur · 09-14-2006, 07:57 AM

Yes.It is central Europe. So when you are from USA, it will be very hard to synchronize.

Btw, I've found another one. So we are 3 now. We have one spot free. The more than 4 players is not good, cause it is almost imposible to organize.

Will this be roleplaying oriented (making characters with unique personalities, speaking only in character, etc -- this would play rather slowly), or is it more of a co-op hack-n-slash ("hey, these bettles drop gold sometimes and they give good xp" or "I can see the enemy through the wall!").

Black Swan Gauntlet · 09-14-2006, 03:32 PM

Hmm...can't play then, sorry.

Oki, we have started in three anyway.
