Re: More info on the AT&T lag issue.

You have to pay for it unless you use a free one like Betternet. Unfortunately, the free version of that doesn't let you choose your portal, so it can cause issues, or fail to bypass the routing error you're trying to avoid.

I'm using Avast SecureLine. It's a few dollars per month.

Re: -twohand Bastard Sword

1. No.

2. Last I heard, no. That should only work for medium races wielding large weapons or small races wielding medium weapons.

Re: More info on the AT&T lag issue.

I don't think it's the Swedes. I'm on AT&T's hardware as well, and the issue I found appeared to be somewhere near the east coast. Running a VPN through Canada solves all of my problems.

Re: New player. New IC Story.

Welcome to the server! Most characters come to the server with an existing backstory, but it should be one that fits into Arelith's lore, and accounts for your character arriving at level 2. Whatever your story may be, it shouldn't be too difficult to bend it to fit in here, as long as it doesn't in...

Re: EE and the Arelith Migration - 6 months in.

I dislike what EE currently is and what it has been, but I like what it represents and has the potential to become. Whether I'm happy with it in the long run will depend on Beamdog's adherence to their promise of a genuinely "enhanced" experience. As long as Beamdog remains in business and actively ...

Re: Is it time to concede?

Perhaps it would help to crowdsource a list of the absolute most horrible lagfests on the entire server, so that Irongron's proposed workaround can be consolidated into a more manageable project.

Re: High level difference play.

On the other hand, when doing sub level 20 writs there is such cheese ball restrictions that you would basically have to level your characters side by side with someone else in order to actually do writs together.

Re: Portal Lens

The issue is not with the lens, it's with server portalling. You can encounter that issue even when you're going through a transition to another server. Sometimes it says portalling failed, and sometimes it just does nothing at all, although these occurrences have been far less common since a few up...

Champion of Torm? Divine wrath will boost melee and ranged I believe
It's a general AB/dmg boost, which applies to all attack rolls while active, but you have to focus on a melee weapon to take CoT levels, so it's cumbersome on a ranged build.

Re: Why’s scim the popular choice?

It looks better. Scimitars/Rapiers are most popular with Weapon Masters, and the most popular WM builds use heavy armor and a tower shield. Using a rapier with that combo looks goofy.

Re: Gem Pouch increases weight of Gem Dusts

Pouches change weight in increments, which can cause wonky weight shifts, but they also don't always calculate the weight reduction correctly. Remove a single unit of any dust from the pouch and then put it back in again.

Re: Writs

For that, you have to abandon all of your current contracts, wait 24 hours, and then discard the writ folder thingy.

Or ask a DM in game.

Re: Writs

Yes. If you use your Writ item, and select a particular job, you'll have the option to abandon it. It still counts toward your maximum jobs per day, but you free up the slot and can get more jobs tomorrow.

Re: Can't log on the server

Beamdog pushed an update a few hours ago.

If you're on Steam, you can find instructions to roll back here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21134

If you're on Beamdog's client, I think you'll just have to wait until the server updates, but it'll probably be soon.

Re: Steam update

Open your Steam Library.
Right-Click on Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition and select Properties.
Go to the Betas tab.
In the dropdown menu, select "oldstable".

It should download the changes and roll back your install in just a few seconds.
