3 things that will help Neverwinter get back on track.

antwo91

1.) Place co-wards in the trade bar store.
For whatever price just get them back in the Trade bar store.
Prices for enchantments are going up the roof, and we cannot afford to upgrade things when it costs an arm or a leg, and this is with grinding day after day.

2.) Fix the ZEN market.
Lower the prices of items in the ZEN market so players can actually buy the items they need to progress.
Regardless of using actual Money, or astral diamonds lowering the ZEN prices helps all players in upgrading their gear / enchants.
Its hard enough as it is to grind but to grind and get little for your efforts is overwhelming.

3.) Actually fix the bugs reported
There are countless bugs and problems being addressed by players on a daily basis and there is no solid answer as to when or if they will ever be fixed.
(for example I have a class power that's been broken since the beginning of mod 6, almost 6 months ago…)
We need to be assured that our progress and efforts in playing the game aren't for nothing.
We need to be reassured that these problems are being considered and taken care of.

Thank you

You have to consider all points based on Cryptics primary goal - making money.

If they make things cheaper to buy with AD then people will spend less cash. Of course they over charge when paying by cash too - $30+ for a mount?! The first time I saw that I stared in utter disbelief, I can almost buy a new game for that. It makes a bt more sense when you factor in players ability to part pay with AD but to my mind they are losing money with the whole $$-Zen-AD thing.

If they had a separate cash price for these items that was not tied to the value of Zen they could charge less and increase per item sales exponentially.

Someone has to buy the Zen, so in the end they aren't really losing money.
Also more people are buying Zen right now, simply to sell them for AD. The current market price (Noon CST 3/20/16) was around 240AD/Zen

When the zen price goes up it means less people are buying with cash. Buying Zen with AD becomes more expensive when there is less Zen to buy.

Since the tarm bar ripoff landed a lot of people stopped buying zen with cash for lockbox keys & a lot of seasoned players left - many of these were cash purchasers.

That's why the price has doubled since then.

Yet another person with valid points. I like it.

the game makers did say they wanted parity between the 2 platforms based on the ad zen exchange. (see developers notes- the state of astral diamonds)

Xbox One ZAX: 140 AD per Zen
PC ZAX: 400 AD per Zen

now were up to 240, i dont know where pc is at. sure, it cost a lot of players. but there getting what they wanted. a balanced zen to ad exchange.

i said back then if their gift of 100,000 ad did not work, the next thing they did to balance would be less player friendly....


any pc player know the current zen exchange rate on there?

but more OT, yes, if they did those 3 not so simple things it would bring players back, reinstate trust, and make the game economy and game overall much better and stronger.

they are losing money because more people would buy if prices were lowered. 10 transactions paying out 5 dollars is more than one person paying 30.

@poopoomcmuffns true for some maybe but for others it's the grind in and of itself that keeps a person coming back. waiting for that rare drop or working on getting a thing levelled.

Thats true, this is no coincidence the market sky rocketed at that point.

And as said above, i agree that when i looked at the mounts the first time i played this game, i couldn't believe it... 30$ for a mount i was like ... wait what??? LOL But then when i made more ADs couple months later when finally being able to run epic stuff etc i realize well its not that bad... but that was at 125 AD per Zen ... lol. Now with the current pricing it has become way over the top again.

Before i feel it was well balanced, before the C.ward scandal, but now yes they did loose a lot of players, and other players have stop getting lockboxes keys because they are not assured anymore a definitive value item. It does not matter if you throw rank 7s, genies gift etc, the wards where stuff that people NEED so they where a sure value for selling. You opened boxes in hope to see that special mount pack etc but at least at some point you where sure to be able to get a C.WARD either for upgrading yourself or to sell back. Now you don't...

The problem is there is still people buying zens to sell for diamonds so they do make money still with that. I am curious to know would they make more if actually the zen market was cash exclusive, but at more decent prices? Lets say a mount for 5$, would you be willing to buy 3 mounts for 15$? Personally i would even if it was just cosmetic. But i refuse to pay 30$ for one.

The difference is they would have to bust there HAMSTER making COOL stuff in the zen market so that people want to buy it. And it would need to certainly NOT include mandatory items like wards and other stuff that you require for progression
