Well that's exactly what I would do (raid only the fountains). Not if there are no high level campground fountains [/quote] The root problem is that raid participation is very low at all levels. Raiding characters are either too weak or too strong. A character can max out the campground at level 31...

Naah, something about being one stupid mistake away from death, oh wait, I can't be one stupid mistake away from death, someone else already is :-) Seriously, I somehow manage to get one death on all my serious characters. But I do play nethack, and that's got perma death :-). (And every case of dea...

For the fighter: Level 3 gave problems in both level 3 zones. All of level 4 was no problem for the dark alley, nor was half of level 5. Can you please up the drop rate of greasy confectionaries just a tad :-) Oh -- Level 5 zone was a problem, but level 4 zone (at 5th level) seems a breeze. EDIT: Pr...

Only have "PvE" campgrounds at a few, known, spaced levels. So if you put down improvements to raid the PvE, you are only able to raid it for a relatively short period of time before you level past it. These PvE grounds might only be hit a few times, but that puts money in some raiders; ot...

(and in comparison, Who needs a healer_M died while level 1 fighting a hyena. Perfectly able to heal if I had wanted to, but, as the name says...)

Alright, so a new character: Who needs a healer_F is a fighter. Collected 4 spam by level 1, got the 5th and the poverty set quickly. Moved over to the level 1 zone, got plain toast right as he got to level 2. Has just made level 3. Has never needed to visit the healer. At all. Other than the "...

Bump

Level 18, and I haven't had a challenge yet. Looking for bravery before level 22.

Bump

Anything? Do I put down the new set of campsite improvements I've picked up, or do I regard putting any improvements down as self inflicted harm?

It may be common.
It isn't universal.

I know I've gotten at least one via drops, and thought it was just a low probability random drop.

If I knew it was from a single source, I'd have milked that source. Kinda like how I milked bedsheets, etc, for a while -- good money on the exchange.

That was a major spoiler. Sheesh, now to go back and recheck them all :-).

Ideas should never even consider the mechanics of what's happening under the hood. the reality is that ideas that are easily workable within a given system are more likely to be implemented than ideas that would require an ugly hackjob of coding to pull off. Rule #1 of optimizing programs: Never op...

1- Theres no real way to have a pvp system that uses accrued opposed statistics that won't have some people refusing to participate unless they are maxed out. The only way to prevent this is to make everyone even, which kind of defeats the whole point. I don't see how this is really a valid point, ...

But even in regard to edit #2, if campground improvements are intended to be "trump" and not "everyone's at full or not playing", you will still find people that won't begin to play unless they are at full. Basically, it boils down to this: 1. If campground improvements are your ...

Oh .... GAWD, that's a bad, bad pun.

[NOT A BUG] Cannot get into the dark nook with a darkness...

A darkness inhibitor is supposed to be better than a flashlight, right?

So I no longer have a flashlight, but now I can't get into the dark nook.
