I have a few questions.
First, if you have 8 heraldry on your character, can you have one removed? for a better one.

My bother and I play over the internet and do not seem to be having too many issues. Little info on us....We have patched to 1.3, and waiting on 1.4.He pings my computer about 25ms-50ms(cable modems), and we are playing on 3+mhz Pentium 4s, I host, and save often. He does lag some... but it clears up...comes and goes.... His system is alittle slower than mine, but he tends NOT to save enough.... and we have redone alot of quest more than once due his saving, So I host now, but he catches abit of lag now and then..... Anyway We had started a game together, but soon found that we wanted to play at different times due to work and such, then Jump back in to OUR game. However after completing a few quest together, it did not seem to be saving HIS quest log. We figured out that you can ONLY PLAY TOGETHER thru the entire game, and ALWAYS be near the other player when they talk and such to main characters and such. Well we had to start all over, but wanted wanted our same characters, we have NOT completed the game, only got 3 main artifacts. I was working a Celestial/Arcane character, he was working a Fighter, I had completed 3 Celestial quest, and 3 Arcane Quest, I was able to choose between being a Warlock or the next Celestial one, but did not choose. My brother had become a Knight for the fighter one. Now we started over the game and I did the candle one for the Celestial, and thats all the quest I can do. He did the fighters first one as well take the sword to Arindale or something. Now he can not do any quest as well. I talk to the mages, and they say that I have chosen another guild, and can not join them. Same with him. We have just got thru the Naga area and got our 2nd Artifact. Any ideas on what to do? So to complete our Guild quest? I have 8 Heraldry he has 7, but this not being able to advance, I can not see the better spells sold and such?



Couple things we have noticed while playing Multiplay over the internet. Just things we noticed... We play Multiplayer, Internet, Direct IP, by Dungeon Lords Menu.

1. Always save when entering and exiting a Building(Arindale) Seems one of you could be THROWN far away, after ya exit it. This has happened a few times to us.
2. If you have made a few different characters and you want to play one with a buddy, but the PLAY THIS CHARACTER is not the character you want, Try this.
2a. Send your saved game with YOUR character on it to your buddy.
2b. Have him start a multiplayer game.
2c. Once you connect have him load YOUR game up.
2d. Choose your character and have him play any character BUT yours.
2e. Ready up and start the game. Once the game is up, HAVE HIM QUIT.
2f. Now this puts that character in the PLAY THIS CHARACTER SLOT, when you choose to use this option, but this only seems to work one time, so once you have it, Save the game, so all you have to is load the that saved game up.
3. You can only get SO far from the HOST, which is kinda a pain.
4. CAREFUL of the campfires...If You start a camp fire only you can stop it, same with goes with the other guy. Spawns kill fast when you sleep. Always save before you use a campfire. We found if HE executes the campfire, we will NEVER wake up until he stops it. If I execute it, being the host it will stop after 24hours.
5. With opening chest the game does not STOP, or when you have your Menus up, the game does NOT STOP... you learn this one fast, in Multiplay.
6. While attempting to recover the Argalia, the son (Vetrian)down in the jail, My bother attempted to pick the lock and failed. Now we can NOT get him out, any ideas on this would be great?
7. If your not the HOST in a multiplayer game YOU MUST REMAP and set up your hot keys EVERYTIME you start to play. ONLY the host keeps his MAP records.
8. There was a land we were in, that if you fall in a hole, you get STUCK, until hit by a monster or something.
9. On Multiplay on NOT to damage other players, HE can cast a nether spell on me and it does damage.... not sure which it is, its has a red color, kinda like a magic missle.
10. I noticed the Blacksmith in Skulldoon wonders off.... like real far off, we couldnt find him one time we were there.
11. In the Trial of Elders, My brother seem to Crash alot, like 3 times. Not sure if it was his system or a multiplay thing. The first Elder area.
12. When he summons things, he says when they kill things he does not gain Experience.? He has to hit them atleast once to gain. Not sure if thats right.
13. Sometimes when We summon things, they dont appear?


Anyway, thats a few things we noticed. We have not completed the game as of yet, and have not read the walk thru.... we didnt want to spoil the game, but there are a few bugs in the game. Oh yeah, did my game come without Furniture in it?

Let me know what ya think,
Thanks

I don't know of a work-around for your lock jamming problem if you saved after the lock jammed. But yeah, if you fail at picking a lock, they can jam, leaving you with only the option to leave it alone. I save the game before I try to pick any lock or disarm any trap, but be aware, this can cause it's own set of problems. There are areas where if you load a game in a specific area, you will not be able to get out. Such as the Elven trial with that mage blasting fireballs at you, or in the rooms of Fathien keep where the elven spectres are guarding treasures/argalia. The problem with areas like these are that to get out, you must do something (usually kill a specific mob), when you load a game in these places, the game either will not spawn the mob(s) you need to kill to continue (as in the elven trial) or will forget to give you credit when you kill the mob if the mob's on-screen at the time you load (what happened to me going for the argalia). Either way, you have to load a saved game from long enough ago that all the trigger items/mobs haven't been activated or spawned. So my only advice is save often, and use multiple save slots (keeping at least one save slot fairly old).
