3) Silverymoon: Shadow Sword hideout

Shadow Sword Cut-throats do not give any XP, nor do they drop anything, which means one cannot collect bounty on them for collecting the sashes they're supposed to drop.

Not sure why no exp, maybe your PC is too high, but they don't drop because someone disabled all the custom death scripts, which means any static with a specific drop (ie Catacomb quest, Kelemvor quest, etc) don't work.
Ain't no way my toon's too high for XP from these suckers. They've got a +5AB while dual wielding, ie, at least LVL4. Hell, I still get 1-3XP from simple orcs and gnolls, so these guys aught to be worth a good deal more. They're quite nasty. And they smell.

On another note:

From my experience, most, if not all, of Silverymoon Pass is extremely bright during daylight hours. The glare is blinding. could this be toned down, some? Makes it very hard to see more than 20-30 yards, even when among the trees (which should be blocking the sunlight). At night, with my horison set to mid-range, i get a star-field in that area with the new ruins (high passage between lowlands), and can only see the next rise if I'm willing to risk the graphics lag inherent in full horison viewing on my junk card.

More as I remember it.

Forgot about this. Tried to dump some stuff in pchests and persistant armoires last night. every time I tried to close the containers the server locked up and rebooted. I have gear that needs to be stored for an ongoing plot, so please try to help resolve this ASAP.

Wild. Kalev had already reported this about Uni P-chests. I figured it had something to do with my specific rebuild of his PC's room, but unless you were using his pchest and armoire, BH, this means a suddenly pervasive issue with all p-storage. Which is strange and hints at some issue manifesting with the ACR p-storage scripts? (Sorry, AL.)
Enjoy the game

6c Northroad 1: the stone on both sides of the road can be walked though.

6c Northroad 2: all of the water is walkable even though most of it is quite deep.

In my opinion the water here should either not go over the waist or someone should add a ferry/swimcheck.

If you were a real wizard you'd just cast Enlarge.

When you pull that lever on the boat to get the reskin thingy so you can go around in your undies, for gnomes (maybe halflings not sure) it messes up the camera so that its much higher than it should be.

(personally i find this very, very, very annoying cause i cant get any good screen-shots and its just weird playing at the camera level of a human when your a gnome. :mad: )

I believe this was done (to everyone) on purpose. It may be harder to get a good screenie of your goofball toon, but it does make it a lot easier to actually see what's directly ahead of you when you lower the camera to the minimum height for combat purposes in closed areas like caves, and still see the ceiling.

The server appears to be crashing upon PC death.

I actually have a theory that this has to do with P-storage again, but haven't been able to hook up in chat with AL to have that debunked. This means, I think, that any death that invokes p-storage will crash the server.

Oh fess up, server crashing upon PC death is done simply so we cant loot the bodies. ;)

This is clearly a bug of the highest priority, and I demand it be fixed immediately!

Jesting aside this is pretty serious. Do we have any leads on the pstorage bug yet?
