To the group of players I've recently been stalking, you are lucky I can't take screenshots on B. Logging out because a Boss has been spawned or you got a fail and logging back in 15 minutes later is -BREAKING- the rules. I clued into this during a double run through Abyss where we killed Windreaper, the person logged out, we ran out abyss and came back and killed windreaper again the person logged in behind us, then immediately logged out again. 15 minutes later the player logged back in again where i was in stealth and watched the player proceed to spawn windreaper.

CUT IT OUT or I will for the sake of the server make every boss unsoloable or encourage 0 percent rolls on epic bosses for soloers. I am not joking about this. You want to cheat, you can deal with the backlash from the other players who are doing the right thing.

AFAIK, screenshots can now be taken on B, at least on my side.
Maybe Disco fixed something?
And please, no raging on forums. It's not nice

boss camping like that is nothing new, you just have to wait there and gank them on log in and leave them to respawn or stay logged out.

Yus but the punishment for this, as I've been led to believe is a complete strip of all items and gold for a first offence so I'm giving a kind warning on the forums first before I inform the DM team.

You can always make screenshots of nwn. Just press the printscreen key on the keyboard then go to pain then press ctrl V and save it. I found nwn's own screenshot function utterly disfunctional.

Didn't know it had one in the first place.
I've always used print screen and copy pasta.

Usually you also get a copy somewhere in your nwn folder. (edit: Oh that must be the nwn screenie thing...)

Also, don't camp bosses you punks!

Well technically NWN should make a image file a tga in the nwn/screenshot folder if you press the printscreen key. But I just checked and there are only 20 or so in that folder and I make that many screenshots in a week and I've had the game running for months so the folder should be a lot fuller. I just don't think the screenshot option is reliable to begin with, ignoring any server side problems to boot.

But nearly everything you see on your screen you can make an image off by just pressing printscreen and then pressing crtl V (paste) in a drawing program. Except some games and video files, but I never had a problem with nwn doing it like that.

And if you really just want to log everything you see on your screen, the image, moving and all, sound and everything. There are special screen capture programs to be had. Though there is also a chat logger program for nwn. Sound be on the forum some where I'm sure someone can dig up the link.

Ive sugested it in the past, and ill do it again. Places that you dont want others to solo, make it hard coded that they can not solo! If you dont want people solo farming bosses, make the boss not spawn for one person, or make the loot drop 0%. Dont want people in the Abyss alone? Make a guard you have to talk to to go out, and if you dont have a group with you, he wont let you out.

If the solution is make area's or monsters harder to beat then I'm for it by default.

I was recently turned onto this as well. As far as I knew, all bosses could only be spawned once.

I fought my way through abyss to windy(the mobs were spawning just fine so I figured no one had been through in a while). When I got to windy's lair and ran over the spawnpoint it said "Recent fighting" so I thought "huh, I must have started right after someone ran through, so it hasn't been 15 minutes yet". So as I assumed was legal, I hung back in the room a sec, hoping I was just a min or two ahead of the "spawn" string. But nope, a few(3-5) minutes in, I run over it again, still nothing. Then a group runs up from behind me claiming I'm spawncamping. Of course, being ignorant of this, I said "What are you talking about, I haven't even spawned him this reset", only to have my ear bent in tells that Windy doesn't work like that. And apparently someone had just logged on in a 15 minute pattern for a few times and the party mistook it for me, but knew it wasn't once they saw my login.

In any case, fix it. As I've always said, the most effective way to keep people out of your lawn is not to put up a sign, but a fence. Mechanical means work.



I support the initiative, but not the method. More deus ex machina guards = more grumpier DI.

I'd actually like to be informed Chris, if it's all the same.

As far as I'm concerned I'd very much like for all the bosses to be spawned just once, but I'm not sure they are.

Anyway, I'm going to lock this because I honestly don't see it going anywhere good.
