The OP is quite obviously not capable or willing to understand, that the game needs to make money to continue to exist. Fortunately the Devs understand the importance of getting paid for their efforts. The OP probably would like to pay them with AD earned by "hard work" playing the game. Can we close this thread? Waste of…
Honestly, from a totally egoistic point of view bringing back salvage would be great. I could make rAD that lasts me a couple of weeks (at the 100k rAD limit). From the viewpoint of the greater good it is bad: - It hurts the economy (the main reason why it was removed in the first place) - We currently have a backlog of…
I will try to be civil, despite the rage I feel. The wording was clear. The implementation did not fit the wording. I explained where specifically and why the wording was in direct contradiction to the implementation in:…
I fully agree with the above. At the current time we do not know anything specific. However, the general direction seems to be promising. What I like best is that Cryptic is - obviously - aiming for an overhaul of the game engine that will allow them to introduce new (and more challenging) content via new modules, without…
The description was rather clear, the implementation did not reflect the description. "Any new characters who log in during this event will earn extra rewards while leveling as well as Neverember Incentives which can be exchanged for account wide rewards. Note: Characters who log in as a level 1 during the event are…
The game is currently unplayable, due to the following reasons: - disconnects ingame, often just after completion of a dungeon: this means that one cannot open the chest(s) and most of the effort is lost - disconnects when switching to another character, requiring several attempts simply switch characters - disconnects,…
I agree with you, that it looks very much like an attack on the servers (not just nwn, arc-wide). However, we cannot know for certain and cryptic / arc is not telling us anything (nor is it likely that they will provide us with details). Also, people who attack a game server rather obviously don't play the game they…
I am not an expert in cyber security, but it is rather obvious that a ddos attack does not actually requirs an account on the attacked server, or being logged into a service that the attacked server provides (in this particular case: being logged into the nwn game). Sorry dreadulus, your idea of ddos attack is pure…
The situation is getting worse from minute to minute. Constant freezing in game (60+ sec) with "server not responding" message flashing Then game crashes and cannot even get past the first step because: "Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out" Using EU or US proxy does not help either. I will do…
There could be several reasons, on cryptics side, routing issues (largely outside of Cryptic's control), up to criminals attacking the servers (denial of service attacks or similar), ... Only Cryptic will have a fairly good idea, what the source of the problem is. But they will not tell us (which is very understandable).…
Germany here and also constantly logging out (disconnect) whenever I switch characters. Takes 2-5 min, several long waits and attempted logins to switch from one character to another. Annyoing ...
