Timestop is my favorite spell too...it simply has to be in every D&D game... :'(

The first rule of developer game balancing...

 

If you can't fix it, remove it

That's too bad. Timestop is terrific - when your opponents have it and use it to good effect. It's a bit boring if the PC has it, though.

Oh that is such a big negative against it now.

Time stop is for weaklings.

 

Shapechange is the spell of choice

Its a broken spell in NWN. Just because one person castes it 3 in game miles down the road it stops time there to.

I think BIO forgot to test it in MP; because that's fine SP; but in MP it's just friggin' annoying. Of course, there are multiple fixes/changes to the spell so that's no excuse for Obsidian not having it in NWN2. I wonder why they left it out... It's one of the coolest level 9 spells out there.

I prefer Meteor Swarm.

Meteor Swarm is boring inc omparison. All it basiclaly does is repelace fireball at a high level, and doens't hurt the caster.

 

Timestop is cool because there are very few if any spells similar to it.

It certainly sounds cool. I can imagine a few solutions, i don't know anything about programming, but it seems like they are simple enough.

 

1. have the timestop in a smaller vicinity. say, 20 in-game meters.

 

2. when an object collides with that area, it is affected by the timestop. you run next to the battle when the guy uses timestop, that is your fault. you shoot something at the guys who are just sitting there, your projectile is affected by the spell.

 

3. have a counter-spell? you say its a level 9 spell, maybe have the counter at 10 or 11?

 

4. have it cost more to the player using it?

 

just ideas. shoot me down now.

Hahaha it'll be in by the time I buy the game

Bang bang.

 

I thought your ideas are alright. Meh, I don't care much for timestop(I'm more of a low level player), but it's definetly addable.

Sounds cool. I'd like to see party AI coordinate spells like that. Priest lowers saves, 1st mage further lowers saves then 2nd mage polymorphs. All of them chant together and the spells go off right after each other. The player won't have much time to react, much less know what's going on.

Well the deal breaker for me is no epic levels but a few of the features I hope for is...

A proper template system

An expert mode that has the class limit off etc

Long hair that goes beyond my sholders

Planar travel

While it pains me to agree with you, Planar travel would indeed be awesome. Heck, through in some Spell Jamming for good measure.

Spelljammer was an interesting concept

It was especially cool to see it get a nod in BG2. How I wish there was a way to convince that Spelljamming drow to "lend" you his Astral ship.

(w00t)

They need to leave timestop out so they can put it in the first expansion pack: "A bunch of spells to screw up the game".

That's why I'm, waimting for the second expansion "Ok we've milked this cow long enough here's what you wanted from the start just buy the damn thing".

No. If I wanted space ships I would go for a Star Wars or Star Trek setting. Leave D&D as that dungeons and dragons fantasy.

Yeah, it's boring unless it's completely generic!
