Can shops and quarter ownership timers be paused until portals are fixed?

Post by Regionals » Fri Jun 15, 2018 10:12 pm

A selfish suggestion because my character is in a place where they won't be able to get back to their quarter to refresh it until portals are fixed but maybe I am not alone here.. I think I am going to lose it tomorrow if the issue isn't fixed. Thank you.!

Unfortunately, no. We cannot stop them. Sorry about that.

You should be able to travel to anywhere by foot or boat.

Yes, I do know you can walk, but in this case it's an issue where there is no manageable way to go. Ah well.

Hire an escort. Every problem is just an opportunity to RP.

Guys. I know how to play the game and talk to people. This is not helpful advice and I am not asking how to get from point A to point B. I was just thinking there may be others who are stranded by circumstance, in a spot where you cannot message others and can't get back except by portal or lensing. But if it can't happen it can't happen, that is totally cool.

There are places you could be where you can't get back. Red Dragon Isle, for example, is only accessible by a boat, or by portal, or if you're an UDer, if you have a really specific thing, then you can get to another area of the server where again you can only leave by portal. Blackfin Island is the same. It's only going to take one crash or something going wrong with a boat, and you're stranded.

Spriggans is another area where you could go to, but could not leave from.

Both RDI and the place it connects to can be walked the entire way both to and from these days, same with spriggans. Blackfin might be bust if you manage to get yourself stranded without a boat and the portals are bust.

Might I suggest if you are stranded mechanically somewhere by a game bug that is not the fault of your character but an error in NWN, that you simply appeal to our lovely DM team?

While I can't speak for them, I don't think it'd be unreasonable to request they for example, telelport you from Blackfin rock to a portal in exchange for deducting a portal lense from your inventory - If you're geninuely trapped there.

I guess through the Wake portal and then out through there? Or perhaps the puzzle door, but good luck. A tall order for a level 15 or so zone.

Time to figure out how to get to the Shadow Plane of Cordor without an attunement potion.

Yes, this is correct. We will try our best to help those entirely abandoned and in places they can’t get. But we will be working hard to fix the portals.
