Drow war party spawning on slaves

Post by DarkDreamer » Thu Mar 02, 2017 4:24 pm

Just had a party of drow suddenly appear, I had thought there was a setup that they were not supposed to appear for Slaves and Outcasts?

Clamped slave or starting as a slave background?

Is is intentional for various reasons.

Really? That's quite a pain, what happened to:

Which admittedly was in regards to the hub portal, but I don't particularly see why the raids would differentiate.

I guess because someone could take the slave collar specificaly for the reason of going 'hunting' in andunor then getting free later on.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

The slave-slave collar is pretty lengthy and difficult to remove; though the prisoner collar is not.

If I might make a suggestion, clamped slaves (as in, ownable non-prisoners) ought not trigger it, but prisoners should.

I'm shocked outcasts don't trigger it. Here is how I look at the slaves and things, if a drow war party is out in the wilds, why would they care if the person who is wandering out alone is a slave or not?

Bringing this back -- is this ever going to be looked at because it's actually super annoying and will put people off being clamped?

Why are they spawning in such low level areas too lmao

Might need to look over where they spawn, rotate it a bit. But most of the time they spawn in mid-level to high-level areas or near exit points of the UD.

Yeah, might need to have that looked at indeed. I had them spawn on me just outside the outpost, towards the stinger caves.

The point is for them to spawn on surfacers but they get abused easily, just run away or let them linger there and kill regular UD:ers.

They cannot see invisible. So, that potion costs about 100 gold. Don't be greedy and survive.

My experience with invis potions is that enemies will keep shooting/running at me for a full two rounds after I drink one.

Same

Also it's a bit weird that my char has to proc invisibility potion after potion (which may or may not work) when an outcast (which is a bg far more guilty of using it to grind as said earlier in this thread) or a non-clamped slave walks around totally free? Especially near the quaggoth raider camp??

I think they have parties of black archers who spawn on them yeah
