  • @mwk it may be soul crushing for you to hear you will have to give up this game but you are probably one of five people who are in your situation regarding os systems. Why don't you try to update to ten if you really care. Security on win 7 is no joke and if you get hijacked you're going to care. Win 10 is better than it…
  • i'd argue there was nothing to do in that zone before the campaigns were completed
  • @nitocris83 any update on this?
  • Prophets are above such worldly things as money and you should be too. send all your stuff to me and I will show you the holy light of economics. not sure I made any comments on trolleys.. My stance on trolleys is they are a good old fashioned means of transportation and the world could do with more of them. maybe…
  • OMG I know right? it totally sucks when you look at the cost on the ah and then go ahead anyway and make things that you know you can't profit on and then DON'T profit on them. it makes steam come out my ears!!! I'd email support and tell them about it and ask for a refund between what you paid and the ah price!
  • anyway if you want a nerf for a class you have to have a post that is wildly popular stating that the class needs a buff.
  • ofc it's achievable. And the only one here that I see some doubt of speaking honestly is you. You keep making statements like, need it now. need it constant. and act like that is necessary for it to be achievable in the short term. when someone addresses something you've said with specifics you change the milestone. You…
  • @"arkhadiam#2543" why do you have the assumption that it needs to be easy for them to get to absolute end game? juma does supply end game mounts and comps. yes there will be some chickens too. but you can totally gear a toon and get forte via juma. as far as the assumption that you're mid level being stupid.. you are the…
  • I think a lot of it is mmo experience in general. when I flipped over to fallout 76 I was able to apply my knowledge of how to do it from neverwinter and become one of the people with everything in a couple weeks where I still see the complaints of how do you get caps on the message boards everywhere. once you know what to…
  • nothing is continuous in this game. there are ebbs and flows and its up to you ot learn them and find your own niche. you don't need all the things right away. you can play this game just fine now with r9's and what the game hands you levelling up and doing the campaigns.
  • true. it took me about a year to figure it out. at the time you could buy in the stock exchange too. I played the exchange A LOT it was also boring but it was a sure fired way to turn a nest egg of 1m ad into 3 and up. I never let my ad drop below 1m so I'd always have enough to invest to make more. that's gone now. after…
  • you need vip. (well you don't "need it" but it does make things easier and more profitable) you need to give them ten bucks a month. but other than that it's being smart with what you sell drop wise and what you buy with the ad you have. you can also do well trading. no you don't need to be "End game" unless you define no…
  • 150 dollars for a life lesson on the pitfalls of gambling... priceless. for the same price you could have bought all the prizes in the lockbox and had ad left over or you could have bought vip which has a lot of great bonus effects and 30 keys a month. at the end of the day you are in the same spot you'd have been in if…
  • they already did superinflate the market with the bonding stones and comp experience buy outs. the market on console went from barely backlogged/not backlogged to a month wait in a few hours. what difference would it make if they put zen on the other side?
  • 20k is the amount of zen that would have to be bought with the sole intention of converting it to ad. just to keep the zax moving the way it is moving now (on xbox, different for pc by far). but most people who buy zen buy it because they want vip or they want a particular pack. the amount over will be small. they might…
  • steam has nothing to do with xbox. which I was clearly talking about. the numbers would be very different on pc. I don' thave a player count for xbox but it isn't very high. it's observable. you don't need an exact player count to look around and say are there enough people playing this game to be putting 20k a month into…
  • no it doesn't. but it also isn't outside the realm of possibility. Like I said, in the second sentence, "there is no way to know...." Sometimes occams razor does come in to play. Do you honestly believe there is a big enough player base on xbox to support those numbers? I don't know what percentage of people who buy…
  • no proof they're doing it now but It clearly happened when it was introduced on ps4. there is no way to know if they're adding or not. I tend to think they are because I find it highly unlikely so many people are still buying zen and then converting instead of using it. AD is easy to come by. 20 million a month or so on…
  • you do not know when the zen was purchased originally. My point was that zen is recycled. someone could have bought the zen you just purchased originally 4 years ago held on to it and then sold it much later. there is no stamp on the zen showing when it originally entered the market. Have you never bought zen and then…
  • you don't actually know that. there is nothing stopping them from seeding the zax by a little or a lot. and even if it is true there is also no date on that zen to know when it was purchased and how long it's been hanging out in someone's bank before being recycled back into the economy. not all zen is used when people get…
  • this is a free game that isn't top down isometric. a lot of people hate top down isometric. for those that like that kind of thing there are a ton of options. for those that don't you have eso, neverwinter and tera. (I think) and tera is basically going to get you onthe govt watch list. lol
  • this isn't even close. I haven't paid for vip with real money in a few years now. yet I've had vip all that time. I don't know anyone whopays for it with real cash. that's from teh zen exchange.
  • people who don't pay are just as valuable as those who don't because without a certain number threshold the ones who do pay will have no one to play with and will stop logging on the ones who don't matter are the ones who just log on for daily key. for metrics of just having people "subscribed" I don't know if that matters…
  • yes, when lockdown hit the numbers went WAY up. and then started declining again. I remember that uptick and wondering if they'd be able to hold on to it. they weren't. lol
  • to me it looks like mod 16 killed the game and it's been slowly dying since then. that's why they keep reinventing the wheel. they're trying to reverse their loss but they're just making it worse every time. steam is also probably showing newer players rather than vets. it would be interesting to see the actual over all…
  • once I fully groked how the enchantment thing works on reworks I have never failed to make ad on it. I sell all enchants a month before the change and play with cheap non optimal enchants for a month and then buy back. it only backfired on me once but I came out even on it. I came out roses with the enchant packs too…
  • the economic dmg that happened from huntgate was inconsequential in comparison to the nuking of the market with the bonding and companion exp exchange. I think what was generated in huntgate moved the zax marginally. but with the bonding/comp exp introduction, it went from basically zero on xbox to a month wait in 12…
  • as far as classic cut off for me it would be mod 12. (before 12.b) but I liked the content up to 15. but I wouldn't stay long if there wasn't new content for it. no point
  • he's probably talking about the ravenloft banwave, where a lot of people boycotted not because the game was unfun but because they got banned for cheating when cheating ofc, should have been ok. because stuff n junk To comment on defining fun: People can help make a fun game but I'm pretty sure there are psychological…
  • the person who owned it is no longer with cryptic so that's probably why
