I haven't played NWN for years. Just reinstalled my original NWN, SotU and HotU, did the critical 1.69 rebuild and installed the CEP 2.3c (manually). Not sure if I have the correct IP address to direct connect. Is it 209.99.103.44:51xx?

I will have to check myself later but likely someone will come by with an answer before then.

Hello braunthrax, and welcome to HG. The IP address you have is old. The new ones are as follows: Server0=158.69.144.21:5121 Server1=158.69.144.21:5129 Server2=158.69.144.21:5131 Server3=158.69.144.21:5132 Server4=158.69.144.21:5133 Server5=158.69.144.21:5134 Server6=158.69.144.21:5135 Server7=158.69.144.21:5141 Server8=158.69.144.21:5142 Server9=158.69.144.21:5143 Server10=158.69.144.21:5144 Server11=158.69.144.21:5145 Server12=158.69.144.21:5151 Server13=158.69.144.21:5152 Server14=158.69.144.21:5153 Server15=158.69.144.21:5154 Server16=158.69.144.21:5155 You can add those also in your "nwnplayer.ini" (open it in any text editor) in your NWN folder under the [Favorites Page] section. That will then list them as your servers ingame and is easier to use to login. |

So I made my first toon, which I will delete after dying to the 2nd group of rats I encountered because my trusty badger from my lvl 1 summon critter spell ran out of time. I have read a lot more on the forums to give myself a much better chance at making a better build for my next attempt and beyond. I have mostly played wizards, one rouge, and a low level cleric that I wasn't very good at on a couple of different servers a long time ago. I am brand new to PoA and knocking the dust off from not playing NWN for at least 8 years. I work 2nd shift EST, so weekends and after midnight EST is when I will be on. I also joined the discord server so I look forward to chatting without having to type with some other players soon!

There are lots of good builds on the wiki that can help, however a lot of them will need game experience before you see the best outcomes from these toons. A tank is a useful toon at the start but will quickly hit a wall when you start hitting even the 10-20s range due to lack of buffs and instakills. An arcane (sorc has a lot of boosts over vanilla and more spell slots than wizard) but can be complex to get used to. Summons can help you bridge the early levels and its one of the best solo levelling toons after that. highergroundpoa.proboards.com/thread/25170/zomg-sorceror-hg-40-sorcCleric is pretty good also, perhaps a battle cleric type even for self buffs. Good luck on your adventures! |

If you want to delete characters after they get killed (and ending up in Fugue) just put -HC- (Hardcore) in your characters name and the server will do it for you although this will also make you unable to play in groups that are not made up of other -HC- characters. As per the post from Boroie a starting player can't go wrong (unless you hate the appearance that much) with a Yuan-Ti Sorcerer as you also get a 10% XP boost for this race/class. |

Welcome to HG, Braun! What is your player name on the servers? You're gonna love HG. Honestly, it uses such a heavily modified engine that it is essentially a completely new game! One suggestion I have is to check out the quests in the ascension docks and the pre-legendary accomplishments via the wiki. They are good barometers for your toon's ability (power given its level) and a good guide to the world of HG: wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Questswiki.hgweb.org/wiki/AccomplishmentsThose pages technically have minor spoilers, but nothing big. They basically let you know what is out there. It is up to you to click to find out the details of where and how. Also, the "accomplishments" page will keep you aware of level caps, so you don't have to risk missing a possible bump to your character. I would recommend allowing your first toons to respawn after dying. Once you get a feel for the server, you can go hardcore. As most people could tell you, I personally recommend druid-to-shifter! :-D You can play the entire pre-immortal/legend game with your own build. Hope to see you. |

Thanks for the links to quests, accomplishments and builds. I made another toon. Its pretty vanilla, human, wizard, generalist. I got the 2 free levels from the Rowan Tree. I completed the quest for the stuck up noble at the inn (upstairs) and did some dire rat extermination in the cellar of the tavern (can't remember name yet). I'm still getting use to the mechanics again as it has been a long time since I played this game. Not to mention all the differences the HG Enhanced brings to the table.
