Hail Sundren!

[Ahaern]

Hello everyone! I purchased NWN2 about a week ago, and have been looking for a PW ever since.

I ran across one a few days ago that I have been trying.. and it just doesnt click with me.

The first area your to adventure through has spawn that come out of no where, scripted I guess, that can just completly obliterate any starting class that doesnt have a d12 hit dice.

I started a wizard in there, one encounter i would die every time

So I tried a Beserker. Great, I was one-hitting kobolds all day long, getting all kinds of loot while I was at it. Untill I ran out of things to kill. I ran in circles a good while looking for heads to smash, to no avail.

So I decided to look elsewhere, and I found you guys... im not even sure how! lol

I already have the updater installed, and im updating as we speak, so I will see you guys here shortly.

Welcome!

Keep in mind a few things with Sundren... this is definetly not an easy server. Death penalties are high and adventuring is VERY DIFFICULT ALONE. You will want to find other players to band with. Having said that there is much to explore, much to do, and much fun to be had. The challenge makes it all the more rewarding.

Please make sure you read our wiki as it has a ton of great information and answers to lots of common questions new players have.

Ugh, so I got in, and made me Wizard... and then i got attacked by the great beast... Lag. LoL

So, I logged off and tried to log in, and it gets stuck on loading.. I'll try again later.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, there's not a lot of classes that can solo in Sundren. Definitely not wizards. For them, you'll have to wait around and find someone to go with. Otherwise your spells aren't going to protect you from a sword in your face and an arrow in your back.

They can, it just takes a lot more work and smart playing at lower levels. A level 3 pure wizard should look at getting Extend Spell as their level 1 or 3 feat, having a decently high dex (14-16), and ranged weapons (and Protection from Arrows is a lifesaver against range-happy goblins). Generally, it will always be better to buff and fight with weapons than to use offensive spells (aside from Sleep. Sleep owns things at low levels). There's some merchants around that sell things that help as well. Because Sundren doesn't cater to soloing, it makes you really have to get creative and think about how to take advantage of your few strengths if you do want to try soloing. Grouping is of course much better for the social aspect and if you want much easier/faster adventuring.


As far as the lag issue goes... it comes and goes. If you're hit with it, try logging out for awhile and then back in, that sometimes removes it. If it's still there, try going to a different area, sometimes it will only affect that one area, so you can go do other stuff in the meantime.

Welcome to Sundren, in any case.
