From what I've seen in other folders there seems to be a misconception about what areas make up P2. Riverhaven, Throne City, Rossman's, Lang, Theren, Muspari and everything connecting them make up P2. These are all seperate cities not provinces. When looked at that way, P2's hunting is pretty well fleshed out.

Now that we are adding higher level hunting to the mainland, P2 could use more of that and it's something we're looking into. As I've said before, it will most likely be put in Muspari.

I know conceptually Siksraja is in P2, but has there been anything said about Siksraja officially being part of Therengia and under its government, laws, etc.?

The complaint I hear is that even if Riverhaven and Muspar'i are in P2, the distance is more than the distance between Riverhaven and Crossing.

I don't have a problem with higher critters being located in Muspar'i, so the further up the ladder you go the more committed you are to the outer reaches of P2.

All good with it being in Muspar'i. You may also consider the Dwarven town (can't remember the name off the top of my head).

I think P2 is missing 700 ranks and above.

I second the skinning thing. The DPs and the zombies in Boar Clan are great, but the lack of skinning makes me want to cry a little.

Yes please, finish the trail, that would be awesome.


~Worrclan, Dwarf of the Realms-

I don't get why high level creatures have to be so limited...there are tons of overlapping hunting areas at various levels, sometimes within the same province or even right near each other. Why can't there be different types of high level creatures in different areas of the province? Maybe there's a construct in Muspar'i, something undead near Riverhaven, a living bipedal box-dropper around Rossman's, and a natural quadruped that uses stealth in Throne City (just as an example off the top of my head). These areas may technically be in the same province, but they're still "different areas/regions/etc".

I mean, you've already got both a creature and an area for it near Rossman's...deciding not to go ahead and flip the switch just because you'd rather put something in Muspar'i is mind-boggling. There can be both. Maybe I'm reading too much into it and there is, in fact, still some possibility of having a permanent orc savage area once the events play out more? For all people have talked about those things since they first showed up, I've still never seen one...

Thanks,

>>The intricicies of game design is'nt something we go into detail with the players.<<<

Fair enough, and I think looking behind the curtain would ruin the game for me to a large degree.

That being said, I still think lowering the boat times to the islands (and between the islands) would solve all hunting tier problems to a large degree (read complaining), along with keeping the HLCs somewhat segregated from the mainland population, which clearly is a GM goal/policy at least to a small extent, if it wasn't there would have been a Dillo (or dillo equivalent critter) on the mainland a long time ago.

>>Dillo (or dillo equivalent critter) on the mainland

There is actually Dillo level creatures on the mainland

DP Assassins are just below or around Dillo level and DP Intercessors are Dillo+. So actually the highest hunting ground in the game is on mainland.

I understand people's complaints but I really think you all should let the 3.0 changes roll out, and then see what they start working on. From my understanding there are several higher level hunting grounds in P2 and P3, they just need some love.

>>DP Assassins are just below or around Dillo level and DP Intercessors are Dillo+. So actually the highest hunting ground in the game is on mainland.<<

Assassins are buggy and the area is very, very small. Also they aren't skinnable which makes them less desirable than armadillos for a lot of hunters, including myself. The few times I've hunted there, I learned fewer skills than when I was in armadillos, even though assassins are higher than adults and intercessors are higher than elders.

>>While I agree celps and dillos are the ideal place to hunt for that level, they aren't the only ones. The other options just need some work to get bugs or other problems worked out. I wouldn't expect any high level hunting area on the mainland to teach the amount of skills that dillos do though.<<

If they don't, they won't get used much. We all appreciate the GMs putting stuff on the mainland to hunt at this level, but if they have a lot of issues including bugs, we won't want to move. This doesn't just go for upper level hunting. If an area isn't up to par with another critter on the same tier, it won't get used much.

>>You may also consider the Dwarven town (can't remember the name off the top of my head).

That would be Hvaral. My trader gets a lot of contracts out there! ;)

Seriously, though, the route between Fornsted and Hvaral is down-right naked as far as critters go- although the room descriptions do offer a number of places where it might be possible to hook up a hunting ground. Given the history of the dwarven people with Therengia, it seems to me that there might be room for bandit-like or even undead critters still trying to fight old battles.
