Amia

I decipher the unholy tenets of the Badly Written Instructions authored by the Order of Unfun and Lameness whose Tower of Pointlessness looms ominously beneath an endlessly raging thunderstorm a hundred leagues from my seedy dungeon. I drag unwilling subjects to my dungeon under pain of impoverishme...

Welcome ME back as dev. Will only do bugboi stuff. Maybe some minor QoL stuff. Please Pigeon don't ask the world of me, ask the bug of me.

Does it check for party members in the same area or party members server wide? As far as I know, the spawn size is still based on the party member count server wide.

I'm stepping down as a dev. Life has been hectic since my daughter was born and I want to save my Sundays for family time. I'll be there to finalize the warlock update when the back-end is sorted for it and if the team still wants me to do it - sorry it's taking so long but it's not up to me. I migh...

These kind of threads pop up regularly - yearly? - seeking to identify the something that should change to attract more players/rekindle activity. And inevitably, someone brings up a particular feature, policy, or content (the request system, the pvp rules, favoritism,... ) which prompts the entire...

... No good comes of putting staff on a pedestal like that, Opustus. They are not billionaires among peasants. Sorry, I was a bit unclear with my intention. Think of it like this: Proposition 1: DCs are almost always less valuable than real money, unless there's some billionaire playing who has no ...

Yeah, good points der, Jes. Maybe by "exceedingly silly" I meant cases like, I dunno, a lawful good demon, but I guess it just makes more sense to make demons only evil and impose similar limitations to other like cases (a hypothetical case where demons would be a selectable race; I haven'...

I agree with Derp's analysis and the proposed fix. I think the chance of players making some silly characters is a far lesser problem than the underlying issue of trust and distrust about the request process, and I think it's also correct not to identify it as a problem with the player base but ulti...

A great poast, Dove! Despite the recent conflict, I don't think Amia as a PW is especially prone to it or that this time around has been especially bad. Amia has always had conflicts like this, and so have other servers. I don't mean to gloss over the hurt that people have endured, I empathise with ...

Thanks for wishing well. I wish you all the best, too. Thank you for saying that Christ loves me whether I believe or not, as I think that's a healthy and kind attitude for Christ and his believers to have. I love my fellow humans despite their religious beliefs too, and think this is a principle th...

Quarterstaff is just a normie large weapon in NWN, there hasn't been a change to make it double-sided in Amia. Riiight?

Speaking from a strictly mechanical viewpoint, they can be monkeygripped same as other weapons. Dunno if DMs have some RPly/balance-y considerations about this though.

As someone who is fairly noobish with NWN code and has now worked roughly 20+ hours with Amia code both inside and outside of Rider, it really facilitates learning too. Everything is in the same place with great search tools so I don't have to constantly switch from notepad to browser to file explor...

There could be some wild and disturbing encroachment of antimagic zones to Amia that the players could investigate and different courses of action could either lead to their dispelling or permanence etc. so it wouldn't be an abrupt stoppage of all magic everywhere. (This said just to spitball and be...

I'll be off honeymooning till August 14, whence I shalt be strapped to the saddle again. Doing an extra dev session tomorrow to make up for the cruel and unwarranted absence.

Positions: Dev Call me: Opustus, Mitro Avatars: Devpustus Characters: Desdemona, Habsi Login: Opustus Areas of Focus: Bugfixing and documentation Other Contact Info: PMs, Discord (Opustus#4543), email (mitro.hyvarinen@gmail.com) Timezone: +3 UTC/GMT Availability: I do 6 hours of dev work every Sund...

I'll be doing stuff every Sunday, mostly focusing on bugfixes. I'll update this log weekly. The changes featured here will be featured in the Update Log under Announcements. Sunday 07/24, will be pushed with the next big update -Removed Divine champion stacking with Paladin/Cleric/BG for D.shield/mi...

Last I checked it benefited only from base rank.

((... Opustus' ball-punching sex dream ...)) And then I wake up drenched in sweat. The requirement isn't (shouldn't be) about punishing people. It's about decisions, costs, and consequences - what lies at the very heart of any RP game. Everything should have advantages and disadvantages. You can ha...

You get the bonuses for Vassal from Persuade rank, yus. For me having a feat or skill tax without any mechanical usefulness always starts this inner dialogue: "Wowee, Peerage is sure a cool class. I can play a noble and have my own vassal, how cool is that?" "For that we require you t...

That's a good point! I will bring it up. I think someone at one point suggested that Epic Reputation would be a prereq, which is a silly feat that does absolutely nothing but I guess the name matches the class in spirit? I think the epic character requirement would be a better solution. I think that...

We've discussed this and it's still undecided, though I sense an agreement to opening it. The current version of Peerage is abusable as hell on low levels, so there seems to be an agreement that there should be a better level progression for the Vassal, which isn't a big undertaking but the Devs are...

Yup, they copy the outfit, no matter the base armour. You just have to re-do that on resummoning the Vassal, a bit of a hassle but fortunately it sticks around unless, gods forbid, the silly thing should die.

Thanks for everyone who has had a hand in Amia's storied past and you who keep making it better! In particular and addition to the above thanks for -sticking by through the big transition, Beamdog, dramas, lulls in player activity, -keeping the silly old game fun and fresh and very pretty, -maintain...

I help people legalise themselves.

Yeah I wonder, how do Galenson and Elorathrall really think that the number of areas affects where players spend their time or how they interact with other individual characters and factions? Do people, when given the leeway, cramp themselves into distant crannies and nooks away from the rest of the...

Supa siicret stof

Special super secret exclusive VIP discypoo sounds fine for this, ayup. Maybe subforum if we do some roleplay like that.

Yay!

Much prefer Fridays and Saturdays but my left big toe and good night's sleep for Alt Beginnings, honour to the clan, we shall all rest and snog in Valhalla. Ugh. *chest thump*

Meh, gobb's reply is such lame. To Gers, I like the idea of just buffing existing necro spells. PM is really boring to play because you only have Neg Energy Burst, Finger of Death, Horrid Wilt, and Banshee to spam for offensive spells. I'd definitely target spells that aren't in the current spell ro...

If you don't mind telling, what type of characters have already signed up? I'd like to join but don't want to make a bard if there's already one in the roster.

I've used it. It's really good in some respects, like that you can download a whole preset campaign module there to play, but awful in others, mainly the infernal lagginess of it.

The wee nerf to melee PM Just by looking at the numbers, I suggest PM is due for a wee nerf at least while at it. As it's a public forum, the PM players are sure to object but I'll try to convince you too, you bastards. Make the PM AC bonus Dodge instead of "other". The reason is that PMs...

If I ever give in to my hots for a ranger with a companion who is actually the main character and the handler her humblest servant, I'll be your game keeper and family pet. I also promise to take Job System and Busywork as my favored enemies.

Fiiiiifteeeen long years ago I came to this place. I was still young and spry and could do all sorts of youthful acrobatics. Now I am old, 26 long osteoporotic years old, a brittle-boned bitch. Used to all the creature comforts of modern life, I send texts to my friends, push green buttons knowing i...
