    • ames Ends At The Beggining?


      Hello, I have a problem. Im walking around lvling up my ranger(on the tinity plug-in) Im on lvl 6 very close to seven and when i get to lvl seven it says you need to start over again or garendall will be in trouble or something like that. I haven`t gotten the book for Emilius yet that may have a part in it but my question is could anyone tell me why when i get to lvl 7 it give me that message?

      Thanks, IK

      P.S. I posted this but it didnt seem to come up on the boards so if it shows up Im srry for posting twice.

    • I have played this game many, many times and have never seen a message like that. Do you have an earlier saved game that you could go back to and re-create this? If you can go back, take a screen shot of this message, or copy it down word-for-word.

      So, what actually happened when you got to level 7? Did anything happen?

    • I think the message that pops up is the message when you die. I forget how to post a pic up on the Enet so this is what it says word for word.....

      Game Over
      Gidolan Keep will be destroyed and no one can save them unless.....
      You Try Again

      P.S. Sorry I didnt give this message the first time and just so you know I am using 3 plus-in the name of them are as followed The Banker, Shops, and the Trinity Plug-in. Im on version 1.0.1 going to upgrade soon just haven`t gotten around to it.

    • So you got yourself killed. Now all you do is start again from your last saved game. You did save your game at some point recently, right? Like every time you complete a square, or level up, or do something else you don't want to have to do over. 🙂

      This message can't be coming up in place of the level up screen. That only happens when a foe does you in.

    • I dont really see how I get killed in one hit when I have over 15 life left and I kill a monster and get to lvl 7 and there are no other Monsters around. I have saved a game but its at the part where I kill a monster and get to lvl 7 I get the death screen message. Im just all confused. I think Ill just start over or something I was just hoping that lvling up in the beginning of the game would make it go along faster or something like that. Oh! well

      I have another question that just came to my mind. Is there like a limit to how many lvls you can get without doing the quests right before hand? (example i get some quests I don`t do those right away and i just go and lvl up.)

      Thanks IK

      Which monster are you meeting? Some monsters can take you out in one punch if you have over 100 HP left. To answer your second question, you can level up as much as you want without doing any of the quests. Actually, some of them will get done anyway (like killing the Ookwasps the get the bridge built.) The limit to levels is in the thirties somewhere - I think it's level 32. I've never gotten a character past level 27 'cause at that point they're so strong nothing can beat them.

    • Im meeting the thieves for the book that you have to bring to Emilius. I figured since when i kill other monsters i get the death message i would try and see if i could get the book and that would stop it but it doesnt stop that message from coming up. oall the monsters that i incounter that I end up killing and then I get to lvl 7 I get the death message. I have also started a new ranger but it happens again when i get to lvl 9. Im starting to dislike this game so much because Im alot farther ahead the my lvl 7.

      IK

      P.S. I just relized that this problem has only happened when I play the Ranger.

      What you're saying doesn't make sense to me. Are you saying that you get the small box with the silhouette of the raised sword indicating level seven and then the game quits with the death scene?

      The theives are stronger than anything else you have probably met yet, and the leader (in the red robe) can take out a level six player pretty easily. You are saving your game at level six just before seven I hope. What happens if you go kill some goblins instead? I seem to remember that gang of thieves as being real tough on a beginning player. (And level six is a beginning player.) I would take on the Demon Kobolds on the way to Gwyden Camp, and the Killer Ookwasps blocking construction of the big bridge before I would take on that band of thieves.

    • The red Theive is pretty easy for me at the times when Im paying attention because i use a good old trick that I use alot The Huns(Attila and his Huns) used it I use it and alot more people use it the old Hit and Run. I get Hit by him twice though and I die which he doesnt hit me alot. My char gets the death screen no matter what enemy unit I kill. I could kill a kobold, a ookwasp, a goblin if it gives me enough exp for me to become a lvl 7 I get the death screen. I have 2 chars that get the death message now the one I have been talking about and a lvl 8 when he gets to lvl 9 he gets the death message. Both of the chars are rangers.

      P.S. If any of this makes sense then yay! yay!

    • Okay. I just started a new Ranger to see what's happening for you. I loaded exactly what you said you had; Trinity, Bankers, and Shops. (You know you have to take all the individual shops out of the "Shops" folder for them to work, Right?)

      My level 6 Ranger has armor of 13 and does 5-15 damage with his Drivatan Axe. I was able to defeat the gang of thieves (although I died once when I got careless with the leader) and then went one east where I was able to level up to 7 and then to 8. The only time the "death scene" comes up is when the player gets killed. It is not tied into leveling up in any way except by coincidence.

      Whatever you think you did, Immortal King, it didn't happen that way. Good luck with your game. 🙂 ~RD

    • Did you actually see the level up screen and then the death screen? Or did it so happen that you were close enough to leveling up and had very little HP, thinking that leveling up would save you but really you got killed before you killed whatever you needed to level up? Just a theory.

      ------------------
      some who did not know would ask "what is this way that gives him so much power?" and they were told "It is the way of Mrs. Marietta Cosmopilite, 3 quirm street, Ankh-Morpork, rooms to rent, very reasonable. No, we don't understand it, either. Some subsendential rubbish, apparently."

      Yes, I saw the level up screen I click on it and then i got the death screen

      P.S. Rubber Ducky I know all about the shops plug-in which I must say comes in Handy at times when you want something now and then without having to go track down the right town, village, keep what ever they call them on PoG.

      Amazing how history gives such good advice! If only more people would learn about it...

      So, let me get this straight:

      -You are using PoG 1.0.1
      -You are using Trinity, Bankers, and Shops plugins
      -Whenever you play as a ranger, you ALWAYS die when you reach level seven regardless of what monster you kill or what your health level is at
      -You HAVE created a new ranger file, and when you get to level seven EVEN ON A DIFFERENT RANGER FILE you still get the death screen

      ------------------
      Motion is impossible:
      If an archer fired an arrow at a target, it would have to travel halfway before reaching the target. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway...

      I beleive it happened at level 9 the second time from what I read. Anyway have you tried taking out one or both of the extra plug-ins? I never beta tested my shops plug, though my ranger never had this problem. If you have good enough of a connection, delete and re-download the game. What OS are you in? What stuffit are you using? etc etc...I haven't a real clue why this is happening, but I'll see if I can find out.

      P.S--I could make a quick plug and email it to you to give you a large amount of XP, and see if it goes past the lvl 7 screen (since it will be followed by the lvl 8 screen) and see if you can continue that way...

    • is it possible that he could have a crashed copy of pog? it seems to me that this has happened several times to him, and no one is able to recreate it, so maybe it would be a good idea for him to get a new copy and try again. (meaning just make a new copy of the folder that contains everything) it seems that it couldn't be a screwed up character file, so this is the only thing I can think of that might fix it. it sounds that he has tried it enough times that it would be hard to reproduce that timing every time
