  1. Finished this up today. It was familiar at the beginning and I think I started way back when but never finished, sorry don't remember why. Anyways, restarted and all complete and I have to say WOW!

    I wasn't expecting such a huge map with such a massive loot total lol, but after much searching, I did find it all!

     

    I enjoyed a lot of things about this mission. The lighting was just right in most places so you could sneak around but still feel the tension of trying to avoid the patrols. Since I was playing the updated version, I didn't have the vent problem others have mentioned - so appreciate that. I got turned around a few times but the layout was good.

     

    I snuck through as much as I could, learned the layout and then went back and blackjacked my way through (except of course the captain) to get at some of the loot. I let the rat go (actually I watched as it scurried away thinking - hmm something wrong with that rat), searched the lords room (missing a key piece I found out later) and turned to go and try the basement door again. I was quite surprised by the twist - nice one.

     

    After trying the basement door again, I reloaded a pre-rat save and went about searching (and dodging the captain) and became quite frustrated (hence my earlier comment). I conquered this frustration with a fire arrow to the "dear" captain and proceeded with a thorough search uninterrupted. When that had zero results, that left only one room and I soon realized where it had to be. So I loaded my pre-rat save, captain still alive (don't like to kill people) and found what I had been missing. The rest went fairly smoothly. As I descended into the crypt, the tension remained high as I kept expecting more trouble below. I only had to kill one flame head to get out but I can live with that.

    Thanks for all your hard work, Spoonman. Look forward to more.

  2. Edit: Found it.

    Need a hint here, please.

    How do I get into the locked room in the basement? I'm thinking that may be the way to the crypt? or am I way off base? Have looked up, down and all around, what am I missing? None of my keys fit nor lockpicking. Any help very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Edit: Figured it out, missed it the first time I was in the room. Thanks.

     

  3. Nice mission grayman, just finished this up today.

    I got all the loot with a little help from Kerry000 - thanks for the key hint and Cambridge Spy - thanks for showing me the way in. Initially after opening the door I ran like heck to the highest spot I could find to take on the enemy but there was too many for my few water arrows. lol

     

    I was halfway through and black jacked quite a few guys when I found the key, so I think I'm going to replay just to see what happens.

    Thanks for all your hard work and look forward to more.

  4. Wow, I was so in the mood for a climbing sneaking mission and this fit the bill. Really enjoyed it.

    I managed to find all the secrets - 6 of them by searching and one by accidentally falling onto the ledge. Sometimes I think I'm a drunk jumper lol. Loved looking for them as it means I add to my loot total. Accounting for my 1500 in the safe, I still came up 300 short. Does the total include my winnings?

     

    I searched in vain for somewhere to use the strange key, perhaps it and the disappearing skeleton (where did he go) are for future episodes? Me thinks you left a few teasers behind.

     

    Loved your water sounds and the sink draining was cool. The clip clop of the horses below gave a real city below you feel. And when I turned the printing press on I thought for sure the guard outside was going to hear and come drain me of my blood.

     

     

    I really look forward to the next installment. Thanks for all your hard work Goldwell :)

  5. Finished this up today and really enjoyed it.

    I found all the loot and all the secrets. When the first one popped up, I went "Yes". I love searching for them and I appreciate the objective checking off when I did find them all as then I knew for sure.

     

    I also enjoyed the out of the way climbing to get to get things. Some I wasn't sure I could jump to but tried it when I found no other way to get to the open windows.

     

    I did have a couple of issues. One was the jewellery box on the roof as others have mentioned. The other was a couple of items became unfrobbable - the switch on the wall for the painting and the vases in Cromwell's safe.

    The switch on the wall I found & opened but guard was coming before I had a chance to loot it, so closed it up. When I went back to it, I could open the panel but not frob the switch. I had to step back from it and try again a few times and then it worked. This was basically the same thing I had to do for the vases.

     

    One other issue I had but don't know if its related to the mission or the update to 2.06 as this is the first mission I've played since I updated. My quicksave's stopped working about 10 min. or so into play. My screen would say it saved but when I went to reload (since I'd fallen and injured myself quite badly) it was back at a previous point in the game.

     

     

    Thank you for all your hard work and I look forward to more missions from you. :)

  6. Really enjoyed this mission.

     

     

    Almost got nailed by the guard up high - sneaky ;) , but caught sight of him at the last second. There was so many places I wanted to climb but alas was not meant to be so I continued on. The readables were good, the only one that gave me trouble was when it was talking about the hallway - I kept looking in the wrong one. I knew it was a clue so kept looking and managed to find more stuff in the process. :) Eventually found what I was looking for.

     

     

    Thanks for all your hard work. Look forward to more.

  7. @Thiefette, what issue?

     

    Hi Bikerdude, I'm getting the same issue as SuaveSteve and UglyEd had.

     

    SuaveSteve - "When I start the mission, I get the difficulty selection the moment it finishes loading, no prompt to click attack.

     

    I can select a difficulty, or leave nothing selected, and click start mission. Then it is as if I quick loaded, loading bar goes quick and all I see is this:

    UglyEd - "Intro -> Objectives -> Start Mission -> Generating World -> Starting Mission - please wait -> Objectives....
    In all, the mission does not start."

     

     

     

     

     

     

  8. What can I say but Wow! lol. This took me a long time to complete but so worth it. Sorry but real life kept getting in the way.

     

     

    This was like 3 missions in one, it was so large. Once I learned my way around, and the many ways to get in and out of somewhere, I was all set. I loved finding all the secrets and the vine arrows (once I figured out how to use them) really came in handy. The side puzzle with the statues was rewarding, well except for the last one - I could of skipped that one LOL!

     

    I really appreciate all of your hard work in putting it together, thanks. :)

  9. Finished this up today and have to say I really liked this mission.

    I loved your rain soaked community. From the sounds of the rain, the rain pouring out of the downspouts as well as running down window panes, I found it very immersive. And I love secrets, makes me look in every nook and cranny. Even deal with spiders, lol. I found them before the guys started talking and figured with the note (bringing attention to them), there had to be something worthwhile down there.

     

    I ended up finding all the secrets as well as all the loot (personal goal) Took me a min. to figure out the electric floor puzzle. Tried the run and jump but it didn't seem right to get hurt so reloaded and then it dawned on me. I rarely use my sword but glad I had it for this puzzle.

     

    I had one confusing spot when I got up into the tower though. When I picked up the scroll/diagram an "Objective Completed" notice appeared on my screen, however I had no objectives regarding the inventor. Did I miss a readable or was this an objective on expert? Anyways, I went along with it and grabbed the necklace and then on to the sewer to finish.

    Thanks for all your hard work, always appreciated!

  10. Wow! This was a very large map. Took me a while to get through, but then I like to take my time :)

     

    I enjoyed most of this mission. I did get turned around a few times, which was a bit frustrating, but then I started leaving myself a "trail of breadcrumbs" so to speak - a mug on the floor, chest or door left open which helped until I got my bearings. I have to say, a top favorite part was when I found the blackjack and said to myself "Oh, yea, I'm back in business" lol. I'm not sure if there was a key for the front door but I never found it, however I achieved my personal goal of all the loot.

     

     

    Thanks for all your hardwork - the shadows were, for the most part, in just the right places. The layout was good once I got my bearings. All in all, I enjoyed this one.

  11. Finished this up last night, (sorry RL hasn't let me play in awhile) and enjoyed the challenge.

    It was like 4 missions in one lol. 3rd floor casino was a bit of a challenge grabbing loot from the table but only made them curious so all was good.

     

    I found all the secrets and most of the loot (personal goal). I know I missed the cup with the mummy the second go through. Got it the first time but died a horrible death trying to get back into the vent and forgot it on the retry but wasn't going back for it. There was also a bag of jewels (I think) that I couldn't frob no way no how in the safe in the office. I had to come here for a hint about the code (painting) :blush: , oh well. I had saved that for (what I thought lol) was the almost end after (again) having died a nasty death.

     

    And then we get into the creepy. lol. BTW, thanks for giving me enough arrows to get through the spiders - whew. I managed to find 3 crystals before it ended and after reading above, I realized that's what was suppose to happen.

     

     

    So thanks for all your hard work, Goldwell and I look forward to more from you.

  12. Congratulations on this fine mission Melan and Bikerdude! Finally got a chance to play this, I was in the mood for a climbing, exploring mission and this nailed both. Careful what you wish for lol. This took me many hours to complete but only because there was so much to explore. It was fantastic!

    The map was a bit confusing at first but after traversing the many areas many times I was able to use it as a reference if a street name was mentioned to help get my bearings. I liked your readables that told the story of what was going on in the city.

     

    The multiple ways in came in handy, every time I came across a locked door that I didn't have a key for, I knew to look for another way in. There were two places I had trouble with #1 - the blacksmith shop - after searching forever and trying every key, I finally noticed it hanging on the wall but had a really hard time getting it to highlight. #2 - couldn't find the switch to the vent's for the red room. I had to come here for a clue. I knew where the door was but for the life of me kept missing the switch. lol

     

    Completing objective 3 was a bit tricky with having to deposit him at the gate, so had to stash him and clear a path. When I came back to get him, I made it harder on myself and grabbed the wrong poor soul. No objective checked off of course so I had to do some back tracking but finally found the right guy and completed.

     

    I accomplished my personal goal of all the loot and the only thing that felt left undone was the tobacco shop. I came here to find out what to do with the lily dust and so added it to the pile on the table and nothing seemed to happen yet it remained highlighted, like there was something more to do to it. Was there something else to be added to it?

     

     

    Again, thank you for your very obvious hard work! Look forward to the next PD.

  13. What can I say except - WOW! I'm more than a little late to the gate but real life stuff only allows me the odd pop in. Congrats on this excellent mission Moonbo! Took me a while to complete, ended up restarting as the

    crypt scared the bejeebers out of me and by the time I could get back I'd forgotten what I was doing lol. The first mission was awesome but took me a minute to get use to not being attacked. Found all the secrets in this well built beautiful mission.

     

     

    I was not expecting the size of the second mission and was awe struck at every corner

    I loved the puzzles but must confess to being stuck on a couple. I could not find the book for a while in the library but someone else had the same trouble and was able to find what I was looking for with help from this forum. As well was stuck at the end on what to do in the spirit world with the bad man running around. Had opened the cages but was lost after that as I had tried everything from shooting him with fire arrows to water arrows to put the lights out. Again, a comment from the forum put me on the right track. I found 14/15 secrets and most of the loot. There was one bag of loot that wouldn't highlight in a drawer so don't know if that's my missing loot or not.

     

     

    All in all, a most enjoyable mission. Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to more from you. I will eventually play them all. lol.

  14. Congrats on this excellent mission! It was most enjoyable

     

     


    This took me a long time to complete, not only because of the size, but I noticed coins scattered here and there so had to look in a lot of nooks and crannies. I got almost all of the loot except a bag in the mailbox - I could not get it too highlight at all. Not sure if that was my total missing loot or not.

    I loved the multiple pathways and finding secrets is always fun - found 3 - was that all of them? I also found a secret key but don't know what it was for. Would love to know what I missed.

     

    Oh yes, must mention the view from the top of the tower - very nice!

     

     

    All in all, a great mission. Thanks for all your hard work. :) Look forward to more from you, as real life allows me to play.

  15. Not sure if this is the right place to post this query but here goes. Yesterday when I was on the forums I noticed that version 2.05 was released. Today I updated my tdm file and went back on the forums afterwards. The first thing I'd noticed is the announcement for the update had disappeared. The first topic under News & Announcements is now that 2.04 is released (from July). Sorry I'm not very tech savy, so wondering if I did something wrong or missed something? Thanks in advance.

  16. Just finished this one up, thanks for your hard work :)

     

     

    As others have said it was a nice easy mission but took me a while as I'm a "search every nook and cranny" kind of player as I like to find all the loot regardless of objective LOL! I liked that the loot or objects left with the deceased hinted at what or who they were. I was kind of wondering if maybe those were the friends who left me there - lying on the slabs but I guess they were my victims. LOL!

     

     

    Thanks again!
