[blind-gamers] Alter Aeon July 2018 Update

2018-07-07 Thread Alter Aeon
Our sixth annual Summer Solstice Celebration has recently concluded. Having 
both a group version and solo version of the Puzzlewood Forest seemed to be a 
crowd-pleaser, so that will probably become standard procedure in the summer 
events to come. We will work on making each version more distinct from the 
other.
 
One fairly hefty change to crafting skills in the works that will affect most 
crafting skills is the introduction of the concept of profession points. 
Crafting practice costs will be reduced to one or two, but you will no longer 
be able to improve them with combat points. Instead, you will gain profession 
points as you craft. Profession points are linked into the experience code, so 
you gain them faster by alternating between different crafts.
 
In addition to classed and unclassed crafting skills, this new code will 
include druidic carving skills, scribing, enchantments, grenade building, class 
brewing skills and resource acquisition skills such as fishing and mining.
 
We will be opening the expanded version of the Apiarch Hive, a level 41 area, 
in the next week or two. Sometime in the month of July we will be releasing two 
level 26 areas for Archais. These areas were delayed due to unexpected 
complications, but they will finally be released in July. There are also 
several areas that are hoped to be released in August.
 
Our next game event will be toward the end of August around the Feast of the 
Sacrifice. For more information, check out our July audio presentation here:

Re: [blind-gamers] Help with quest in Alter Aeon.

Michael,

On what part of  the defeat Lanthierre quest are you on?  There's a
number of stages and there seem to be two bottlenecks as a rule.  You
might respond to me off list as that would avoid spoilers for others.
Take care,

Jeremy

Re: [blind-gamers] be my eyes for games?

2018-07-07 Thread Jude DaShiell
Some people do not have good hand control.  Their hands shake and at
times they're not aware this actually happens when it happens.  For such
cases, placing the camera in a tripod then moving a larger object near
it and adjusting the angle of that larger object may or may not work.
At least the camera would be steady.  people born with cerebral palsy
can have this as well as people who smoke.

I hope that they could make madden accessible with narrator. It is one of the 
games I would love to play.

Hi,,

 

I can’t speak for be my eyes, since I’ve never used the service, but one of the 
nice touches with the xbox one is that you can turn on narrator , although  
this won’t  work for game menus, it’s a really nice accessibility  touch  from 
Microsoft, and who knows maybe one day the narrator TTS might extend to  menus 
and in game text.

the be my eyes people wrote back to me and told me that there are blind people

the games for xbox one and playstation4 have many many more souds, and stereo, 
than game consoles did back 28 to 30 years ago.

[blind-gamers] Looking for games that are similar to legend of the green dragons and you played on the iPhone

2018-07-07 Thread Dacia Cole
I am looking for games that are similar to the legend of the green dragon but I 
can play on my phone. Role playing games, and games are you can battle other 
people. I have an iPhone 6. Preferably free games, but games that cost money OK 
too.

[blind-gamers] Help with a quest in A Hero's Call.

2018-07-07 Thread Bryan Peterson
Hi all,
  I’m having trouble in the final stretch of the Laying Down the Law quest in A 
Hero’s Call. I’ve found what I believe are all the bandit camp sites and 
cleared those out that were occupied, but the quest log doesn’t appear to have 
updated. I’m told there are seven sites and, unless I’m mistaken I seem to have 
found them. I found three along the main road that were fairly close to one 
another, one near the abandoned lumber mill, one on the Western Ruins, one I 
suspect near Matthias’ abandoned cabin and another near the fishery on the 
north side of the river. I’ve visited all these and, in all but the Ruins camp 
I had to fight bandits. But the quest log won’t update, so I can’t figure out 
what I’m missing. Any help would be appreciated.
