Btw remember, that the most overpowered items are greater restore / heal / harm potions. Take those out and no one will be able to farm end game the way he does it now... That is only true for some builds.

That's only true for standard frontline melee's. Barbs, clerics, ranged sd's etc do fine endgame and aren't known as heavy pot drinkers.
I've read all the topic and find nine tenths of suggestions reasonable, idk how easy for just one person to balance the old problems of AC/crit immunity or TS/spot though. Or on higher level, to balance things out of endless endgame grind for looties.

I bought my copy of nwn ee on steam and even nwn2 recently since we have so much home time and tried a few PW servers since i really only play 3t. Nwn2 well lets just say what a waste of time. Nice graphics but the animations suck and the two big PW worlds have zero clue what they are doing about gameplay. Nwn ee looks nice in high res 4k. I also tried the new render engine beta which is a save game 1 city map only via override files and i cant really see that much of a difference except maybe the armour is much more shiny and the lighting is more vibrant. I tried a few EE PW servers to test. A roleplay one called Aerilith and found that the sound there has a big problem. Casting you cant hear a thing or your footsteps or emotes. The background sounds are way too loud it drowns out the sound. I discovered the hidden menu if you press ctrl-shift-F12 so you can adjust below the lowest setting of 5% mark but I cant get the sound to work properly. only just useable. So I filed a bug with Beamdog and the developer got back to me real quick as he plays Aerilith and said that its the custom content on that server with the new changes in ee that they are using that is causing a problem. He just did a patch last month with some sound fixes and they are still working on it. I tried another server Dawn of Heroes which is the most popular ee pw action server. The sound there works fine. Nice website. no wiki or forums just a discord. www.adawnofheroes.com/ Good level 1 intro to the world. I look at their map: files.spazioweb.it/22/41/2241dcd5-987b-4483-b5da-858b09e4b2a5.pdf its pretty good, and with all due respect because they do deserve it for all the effort they put in, though they say its based on Nordock module. but i can tell right away that it seems smaller and less intricate compared to the 3t spreadsheet map. So there ends my little test. Looking forward to the updated ee 3t and i'm sure it will be a popular action server on ee

Any rough idea of a start date, are we talking weeks, months....years!!? I have been hyping up the D&D boys into getting NWN EE so we can all play on the new server.

Any rough idea of a start date, are we talking weeks, months....years!!? I have been hyping up the D&D boys into getting NWN EE so we can all play on the new server. With me going back to work yesterday, I would guess Months, but I am hoping to get some free preview/testing weekends in before then. There is about 10 things I want to accomplish before releasing it to everyone and most of them are fix things that can cause problems down the road, like items, I need spend a whole day maybe and go through and make sure nothing gets out that will need to be deleted and try to figure out who got it all as drops. It will be a lot better to address this now. Another item is duping, old 3T is probably littered with tons of dupes, if it isn't then it is rumored to be. So I think if we can better validate the items in game, to make sure that they are real hard earned drops and that the items you get or buy later are legit and never have to worry about them getting changed or nerfed, the better off the mod/economy/world would be, Findell is helping me with this one. One thing that is almost done now, is getting an end game area in. So as of almost right now, you at least can get to level 40. I will do another update of where I am at and what to expect here soon.

Hi chree, just a heads up.
I know you're fixing things and want to do some testing, but I can't imagine that anyone would be unhappy with the server being beta for a couple of months, meaning anything can change.
Given the amount of work you're putting in I certainly would agree to even making one character specifically for testing purposes and level to 40 with the potential that it may have to be deleted or nerfed. A character of your choice if need be. Just to help out.
However, I do not have as much time as others to play so it would take me longer to level and get the testing results but just an idea that others may be willing to do too.

Dito. Would be fun to mess around a bit to give you some feedback. And a clean vault wipe once everything is put into place the way it is intended.

Me three. Sounds like a smart idea to do a sort of beta test.

Hi!
I agree with the idea that potions are the most OP thing in game.
Only advantage healing kits have over GR pots is not provoking AoOs - tested timing recently, seems it's pretty much the same - Gr pots having the added bonus of removing unwanted effects at the same time.
Had a lot of time on my hands lately, so this is not fair in comparison for most, I guess. But for the last few weeks, I've gone through ish 12m worth of Greater Restoration potions per week. And I still just recently hit (a benchmark ish, I guess) 100m gp, so I'm not going broke despite my very clear drinking problem.
Though - and I'm sure saying so will gain me no favors - sequencer rods are also super duper OP. No seq rods/robes in EE would make things totally different. (Generally, I don't like nerfs, and most of the time, I think things will always be better by proposing improvements rather than making *chirp* worse. But in this case, I fail to see how it's possible to compensate for said item).
Thanks for all the great work! Hope to catch you all in game!

I do not mind heal kits you could remove the + 30 or the highest few though, I even remember along time ago on 3t back when things where harder, we where trying to do goblins in a big group and you know the resting there is a nightmare chance in a big party anyway, we gave all our heal kits accept a few to our cleric who sank the heal skill, this way we healed much better and the cleric did not have to rest as much, this was back in the day with really limited gear and money and the wink sank your items ALOT so you had to really be strategic to get a quest done in a big group because if you messed up it was a long time waiting on someone else to who back then could probably not make it all the back to the nob nob alone, heck even back in the day I remember parties of 4 or 5 and it taking multiple attempts to kill grant due to his insane damage, you know back in the days when if you had a lesser bow of the woods people who Awe.

Have had EE installed for quite some time in anticipation for this. Willing to be a guinea pig if we do a test server.
