If you are serious about getting into mainstream games then you are
going to have to invest something in one of the consoles, emulators are
fine to a point but they will only take you so far and they will always
lack something that the dedicated consoles have and in my experience
they will usually come up short.  I chose the psp because I wanted
something I could both play at home and take with me and I heard good
things about it but that is certainly not the only choice although I am
very happy with it and don't regret spending the money a bit.  You could
do very well with a ps2 for instance from what I understand however I
have not found a really good deal on one yet that is why I don't have
one.

 Well actually WILLAM I've noticed that that strategy works better with 
 the Seven Knights than with Gralgarak. Besides, if you can get your MR up 
 to sixty or so before you try Gralgarak's tomb (very possible if you do it 
 right), he's not that tough. It's when you fight him at lower levels that 
 he gets to be a problem. Me, I don't even bother with that quest until my 
 MR is past sixty simply because I have better things to waste Runes of 
 Life on. And his shield is the best one you can get in the game currently 
 without spending ATs or having Conjuration at an absurdly high level. Well 
 there is one other shield and it's in Graldok, but its stats are exactly 
 the same so it really doesn't matter which one you choose. But his boots, 
 shirt and glooves are excellent armor for that part of the game, 
 particularly if you did choose to do that quest right after Westwold. I 
 used to do that all the time.

 At the start you'll want to wait to buy equipment, a really good

 The seven knight statues gives good equipment if you haven't done it

 unequip your weapon before you attack the statues and then, just before

 Ok all, a quick simple sryth question.

 So I have studded leather sleeves which are common quality and give 2
 stamina. I also have sleeves that are just plain leather, also 2 
 stamina,
 but they are of sturdy quality. So they both give 2 stamina points. The
 sryth wiki ranks the armour materials and quality ratings, and it's 
 common
 sence. The studded leather sleeves are better material, but lesser 
 quality
 than the plain leather. We have a deadlock, which is truely the better
 armour in my posession?

 Where can I buy some better armour? I've aquired some good pieces on my
 first few quests, but I still have a few of the starters I got at the
 beginning.

 I am currently at level 6. I am still trying to beat his raging water
 elemental creature for level 7 on his mark.
 I have just purchased a bunch of high quality unmatched armor and with
 the Hale Blade I am at 100 stamina. If I can just get my melee up I
 should be pretty good for taking on some of Daidrur's practice
 elementals as well as taking out my revenge on the Phantom Assassin

 I currently have reason to kill.

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth armour question

2008-06-23 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Justin,
It really all boils down to the stats listed on the armor in question. 
For example an unmatched set of leather armor is about on par with a 
common set of plate armor. If you don't have a very high enc rating then 
the unmatched leather armor will be as good as the common plate armor 
except it is a lot lighter to ware.
In my personal experience the material is usually less important than 
the quality of the armor in question. For example, I have a complete set 
of un matched chain armor. according to the stats at Griphook's my chain 
armor is equal to the unmatched skale armor, but of better material.
As far as armor goes the best place to buy armor is Griphook's in 
Trindmoor. However, the unmatched armor he sells is extremely expensive. 
My suit of chain armor cost me something like 50,000 in gold. A complete 
plate armor suit of unmatched quality is 65,000 if memory serves me 
correctly.
Anyway, if you are just starting out what I would do if I were you is 
under take some quests such as the Seven Nights and Gralgorak's tomb to 
pick up some decent armor for free. After you take on several quests and 
build your gold supplies up you can purchase something really good like 
an outfit of unmatched armor.

Hi,
Agreed. Gralgarak isn't that hard if you have a high enough mr and 
stamina. At the time I took on that quest Catherine had a mr of 65 and a 
stamina of 72. Gralgarak when down without doing any serious damage. I 
blew him away before he knew what hit him.
Using Goblin Doom against him helped as well since I got an extra 5 mr 
per attack roll against him, and he was just out classed, and out matched.

Hi,
As far as I know yes. The Hale Blade has an 8 mr for attack, 4 stamina, 
and special magic is 4 sp healing during some atack rolls, but itcosts 
7500 in gold.
other than the Hale Blade I'd say the Blade of the Fox is the best 
weapon to have on a free membership to Sryth. The Blade Of the Fox at 
least offers you a double attack roll sometimes doing some extra damage 
to an enemy which comes in handy.

 Hi,
 Agreed. Gralgarak isn't that hard if you have a high enough mr and
 stamina. At the time I took on that quest Catherine had a mr of 65 and a
 stamina of 72. Gralgarak when down without doing any serious damage. I
 blew him away before he knew what hit him.
 Using Goblin Doom against him helped as well since I got an extra 5 mr
 per attack roll against him, and he was just out classed, and out matched.




 Bryan Peterson wrote:
 Well actually WILLAM I've noticed that that strategy works better with 
 the
 Seven Knights than with Gralgarak. Besides, if you can get your MR up to
 sixty or so before you try Gralgarak's tomb (very possible if you do it
 right), he's not that tough. It's when you fight him at lower levels that 
 he
 gets to be a problem. Me, I don't even bother with that quest until my MR 
 is
 past sixty simply because I have better things to waste Runes of Life on.
 And his shield is the best one you can get in the game currently without
 spending ATs or having Conjuration at an absurdly high level. Well there 
 is
 one other shield and it's in Graldok, but its stats are exactly the same 
 so
 it really doesn't matter which one you choose. But his boots, shirt and
 glooves are excellent armor for that part of the game, particularly if 
 you
 did choose to do that quest right after Westwold. I used to do that all 
 the
 time.

The Hale Blade can actually heal you completely or almost completely

Gobblindoom and the Giantfell Blade I always felt more secure in the 
nowledge that there was at least the chance that my sword could possibly 
heal my wounds. Saved my arse on more than one occasion I can tell you.

 Hi,
 As far as I know yes. The Hale Blade has an 8 mr for attack, 4 stamina,
 and special magic is 4 sp healing during some atack rolls, but itcosts
 7500 in gold.
 other than the Hale Blade I'd say the Blade of the Fox is the best
 weapon to have on a free membership to Sryth. The Blade Of the Fox at
 least offers you a double attack roll sometimes doing some extra damage
 to an enemy which comes in handy.

Re: [Audyssey] Possible option for testing games

2008-06-23 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Shaun,
PC Games and emulators are one thing, but working with the actual game 
consoles is another. If you want to get into commercial games getting a 
PSP or PS2 actually is better than the PC version or running them via an 
emulator.
I am the biggest blind Tomb Raider fan around,and I don't like the PC 
versions as well as the Play Station ports. it doesn't make it much 
easier to play, but there is a lot nicer feel in using the PS2 
controllers to move Lara Croft around. The keyboard controls for the 
Tomb Raider games get to be complicated as there is so many different 
moves and stunts she can do in the games that there isn't enough keys 
out there to support them easily.
For example, if you want to have Lara do a jump and a flip so she can 
land facing the opposite direction you first have to do an alt+up arrow 
to get her to jump, and then hold down the end key so she will flip in 
mid air. If you do it correctly she will come down facing the opposite 
direction. However, as a keyboard combonation it is tricky to get the 
hang of.
On the PS2 controller the buttons are arranged in such a way that doing 
the same thing is much more simplified. You can easily press forward 
with one hand and use the other to hold down one or more buttons at a 
time with ease.

 For me I have a friend that buys games, downloads games and gets games by

 I mostly get them for sounds, I sometimes play.
 My main issue is I don't have an adaquit system to play these games well 
 sertainly not a desktop to play these on without mangling the entire things.
 I suppose I do now with my old half  dead laptop.
 If I took all the software and data off it, maybe, just maybe I could play 
 games, but there is not much space on there, and i have no 3d card.
 I may have a 733 desktop at some point that with a bit of deleting and 
 formatting could be used although I have to change oses from the systems and 
 only have win98 well I have xp but I have to transfer keys and such to the 
 new box my dad has and well I have no idea.
 The box crashes every so often and I'm not sure about stability.
 But if someone gave me something that I didn't have to manage, ie if I wreck 
 the system it doesn't matter, then I probably would test.
 In theory I could use this one but its my main box pluss the recovery disk is 
 hard to use.
 Unlike my old system I can't just reformat with a few keys.

Re: [Audyssey] sryth and the cubes

2008-06-23 Thread Bryan Peterson
Take a little trip over to Marl's Wood in the Harte Hills. Explore the 
woodlans there. Win all nine fights and have the skills of Lore and Arcana 
at level sixty. That should be fairly easy to do even if you have to make a 
trip to the Adventurer's Collectiive first. Skills are so much easier to 
train than powers. Anyway, once you do have those skills at sixty you can 
invoke the magic and unlock the tome's true potential. This is something I 
really do recommend since it offers the potential for some really nifty 
specific EXP bonuses.

39 is usually the number you get for rolling a twenty unless the enemy 
itself is really tough. Lord Delgroth in the Cave of Four Spirits is an 
example, or perhaps some of Daidrur's later elementals. There's nothing I 
hate more than rolling a twenty and only hitting for a lousy ten damage, 
especially when the enemy's only slightly wounded and you're down to your 
last few stamina.

 As far as I know yes. The Hale Blade has an 8 mr for attack, 4 stamina,
 and special magic is 4 sp healing during some atack rolls, but itcosts
 7500 in gold.
 other than the Hale Blade I'd say the Blade of the Fox is the best
 weapon to have on a free membership to Sryth. The Blade Of the Fox at
 least offers you a double attack roll sometimes doing some extra damage
 to an enemy which comes in handy.

 Hi Bryan,
 Speaking of the chest and the cubes is there any use for the tome you
 recover from the chest? I have it in my inventory, but it won't let me
 drop it or store it at my house in Durnsig. It also doesn't seam to have
 any use other than the exp you get for finding it.


 Bryan Peterson wrote:
 Actually Thomas, you don't need them all. You can oen the chest if you 
 have
 at least three. I've never tried it with less than that but it stands to
 reason that it would be possible. But the more cubes you have the higher 
 the
 EXP bonus you receive.
 Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.

[Audyssey] pregenerated sryth characters

2008-06-23 Thread Justin Ekis
So, has anyone tried out the pregenerated characters available to AG members in 
sryth? There are a lot of them. Just out of curiosity, which ones did you all 
like? Did any of them jump out as good choices? This is mostly for discussion. 
I'm already leaning toward starting the ones called dragonbane and runefoot. 
Good warrior types with a little magic potential.

Re: [Audyssey] pregenerated sryth characters

2008-06-23 Thread Shadow Dragon
I've tried out a few. Spellhurler is too weak melee wise, relies fully on 
magic and so therefore wouldn't be able to get anywhere in the later 
adventures. Trogg right now is the character I play as, he's basically 
perfect since he starts with a melee and stmina higher than is possible for 
you to roll as a random character, 36 melee, 40 stamina, and all characters 
now have access to magic thanks to the fifth proving grounds. The only real 
advantage pregens have is getting off to a better start, more equipment, 
more starting skills, in some cases higher numbers than is possible to rll, 
etc. But random characters generally get better rewards, for example, the 
reward you get for upgrading to adventurers guild, pregens get 1024 exp and 
1000 gold, randoms get 2048 exp and 2000 gold.

Re: [Audyssey] pregenerated sryth characters

2008-06-23 Thread Willem
Hi Jimmy.
I have a self-generated character that I've been playing for about 2-3 
weeks.
He has 9 skills and 7 powers, so the same is possible if you generate the 
character yourself. However you would have to cheat a bit by reading the 
wiki or use your past experiences to know what skills and powers you can 
acquire in the game itself.

For example the skill of seamanship, woodsmanship and archery is available 
in the game.

The highest mr you can have rolled if you do it yourself is 30 +4 boost. If 
the pregen character has weaponry skills, it shows up in the mr when you 
select it and it wields a weapon too.
So I think all pregen characters have normal stats and the same stats are 
possible with random generation too.

I am the biggest blind Tomb Raider fan around,and I don't like the PC 
versions as well as the Play Station ports. it doesn't make it much 
easier to play, but there is a lot nicer feel in using the PS2 
controllers to move Lara Croft around. The keyboard controls for the 
Tomb Raider games get to be complicated as there is so many different 
moves and stunts she can do in the games that there isn't enough keys 
out there to support them easily.
For example, if you want to have Lara do a jump and a flip so she can 
land facing the opposite direction you first have to do an alt+up arrow 
to get her to jump, and then hold down the end key so she will flip in 
mid air. If you do it correctly she will come down facing the opposite 
direction. However, as a keyboard combonation it is tricky to get the 
hang of.
On the PS2 controller the buttons are arranged in such a way that doing 
the same thing is much more simplified. You can easily press forward 
with one hand and use the other to hold down one or more buttons at a

I'm only speaking from experience here.. but there doesn't seem to be as 
many playable games for the xbox as there are for the sony consoles. Yeah, 
you have Mortal Kombat games and Soul Calibur 2... but most of the other 
good ones seem to be on the ps2. Soul Calibur 3, tekken games, capcom VS. 
SNK games, etc. Again, just my two sense.

Re: [Audyssey] a new computer guide for blind people

Hi.
The major problem I have with windows vista is that it's slow.

 Hi Shaun,
 All of the Vista specific features can be turned off. The new start
 menu, 3d desktop, new animated icons, user account control, etc can be
 turned off in Vista.
 However, I usually leave most of it turned on because it does not effect
 accessability, and I can relate to sighted people who are using vista.
 Not only that many of the new features such as user account control are
 new security features, and by disabling it you are putting your system
 at risk from all kinds of milicious software applications. The problem
 with most blind computer users is they aren't willing to change and
 learn how to do new things. they would rather install the new OS, and
 turn it back into the same thing they already have. Well, I am of the
 opinion if you want to turn the new start menu, user account control,
 etc off then there is no reason to update to Vista. If it is XP you want
 then keep XP.
 As for Windows 7 not much is known about it yet, but I have heard it is
 basically going to be a version of Vista with a biggger driver database,
 all Vista patches included, Internet Explorer 8, .Net Framework 3.5, and
 a few odds and ends tossed in for a new look and feel. Basically, an
 upgraded Vista.

  At any rate you can have the old style menus I think in vista which
 even though its backward in productivity is what I will do if and when I
 get vista, same goes for security, even if I have to get some weird
 alegal crap to do it.
  Call me a stand still old timer but I just can't see why I should
 bother with all this new stuff if I am already getting buy now.
  As it is if for whatever reason both these laptops here break I will
 probably go desktop, unless win7 is any better that is.

Welcome to the list.  What are some of your favorite games, and what sort of 
games do you like?  Are you totally blind, or do you have some eyesight?

[Audyssey] Need pointer with planet of the spiders

2008-06-23 Thread Grace
Hi,
If anyone is playing this game on ffproject.org I am really stuck.
I can kill the spider queen, but am unable to get past the rose bush no 
matter what I do. I think I have to meet some plant and find out it's name, 
but I really can't figure out how to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have a nice day,
Grace
