I have no regrets for my purchases. Sorry you do. I almost bought the acolyte but then i read the tooltip and didn't like it. Man am I glad I'm not prone to buying without understanding what I'm getting. Sucks for you though.
-
I still play my dc, just as fun as ever. To a degree its beneficial for the mmo to be 'bad' friendly so the population doesn't become too scarce. But for now its not. So make whatever conclusions you'd like, but the class isn't broken, it's just not autopilot.

Imo, rewards should be given out in a bell curve. Top performer on the team gets full rewards, and each person below gets 20% less based on their position in score. The last person must have 1/10 the score of the teams top performer or they get nothing. Staying gives rewards, afking yields none, performing well gives you…

I shouldn't be penalized for leaving a group that is attempting to exploit a boss, and a system of penalties will do so since no new content will be exploit free.
-
@johnfell I agree, debates online never sway the opposition. @lashes: I respect your playstyle, but accept the impasse in ideals. I can only hope that after nw strings down their vast list of bugs that race change is added, as I'm sure you hope its skipped lol. Either way, we haven't made progress in the debate for a…

No, the analogy doesn't fit, I'm sorry. Comparing a 'carrot' mechanic that empowers your character and is NEVER final with something on par with a cosmetic is folly. You accuse me of being blind to the comparison,, but you categorize something that has no bearing on character performance with the core source of our…
-
You're right, I'm clearly just a bad developer that looks at a change and says 'nope, too hard, they must have used magic to add that feature'.
-
Side stepping that you can currently buy full sets of purples in game currently, that is a straw man. Race choice has a minute effect on character performance, and is largely cosmetic in nature. Comparing it to a competitive setting is a poor comparison. Its true my character finality is unchanged, but In your analogy are…
-
That doesn't provide how you would know somebody participated in a race change, that is just how you view the process. So, tell me, how would you not be oblivious to a person participating in one. Would they be a gigantic, all green version of themselves. Surely you imagine some marker to denote that person as cheapening…
-
Except its also likely that our characters don't haul around the completion information fir each quest we do (and I contest more likely in fact). Its most likely just a series of simple flags that discern available or not, and complete or not. We don't load up our entire quest history every time the character is accessed…
-
Lol, I am a software developer by profession, and I state again, coding ineptitude is a poor reason for not adding a feature other products have implemented succesfully.
-
If you've explained how you wouldn't be oblivious, feel free to restate your reason (as ive been asking in multiple posts), because after rereading your long tired analogies I am unable to discern how you would know if somebody in your group has changed to human from halfelf a month prior. Because you wouldn't, and nothing…
-
And yet, I just can't accept coding ineptitude as a reason not to add a feature. No more classes or races, adding it might blow up the db. Wait, what?
-
While we clearly have different philosophies on where we derive our enjoyment from MMOs, it's moot to compare the two. While I can appreciate your philosophy of character finality I just wish you didn't impose it on my philosophy of player choice. Especially since you would be oblivious to any choices made by players.
-
I agree that we've reached an impasse in regards to our disagreement. It's not about making critical decisions (race more critical of a decision that feats?) or even trying to correct some horrendous mistake. It's not about making changes that will effect how my character performs (feat/skill retrains currently in game).…
-
Oh, you mean the quest in tower district for 2k xp I got on my dwarf to go beat up some extra orcs. You're right. That is a significant difference in the paths of our two characters. Race is meaningless beyond looks. It truly is. The Ability Score differences are negligible. The racial quests are nothing more than a few…
-
Is it not? Will the ability score differences make my character unable to run content? Will it make me god of all Guardian Fighters? I didn't realize that the race of another person's control wizard would empower me to unlimited heights if I were to suddenly have that power.
-
And yet, MMOs (especially NW) are full of opportunities to change mistakes in regard to much more pressing features. From de-slotting enchantments, to retraining my feats and skills. I ask why changing my character from a human to half-elf is 'cheating' but adjusting the very stats and skills of my character after I've…
-
So you're saying that changing racial flags on quests would somehow corrupt the character (the character data I'm assuming)? You realize that its incredibly likely its a simple flag on the quest data that allows it to show up when a race is flagged. Your character data simply carries that flag. Quest completion is likely…
-
I kind of stopped reading and went to skimming when you likened the changing of a character's cosmetic appearance to players who enable 'god mode' and other cheats. The comparison is ridiculous. I ask again why a cosmetic decision like race is considered a 'meaningful decision', but the placing of feats, skills, and…
-
Why is it not the same for our feats, skills, (in the future) paragon path (you know, decisions that would legitimately be meaningful). This is a cosmetic change, not a game breaking effect that will reduce your chances at finding a group. It's odd to me that swapping skills and feats infinitely flies with people, but me…
-
It's funny you say that, cause I had a goliath rogue who always made his sneak/hide checks in one of my pnp games (the same game we had a gnome fighter, a half-orc wizard, a halfling barbarian, and a cookie cutter human cleric). Our group did great. The beauty of pnp is as long as you know what you're doing your race…
-
I'm not an advocate for race changing for stats. I'm an advocate for race changes because somebody would rather play as another race cosmetically. It's for the same reason people want the ability to change their hairstyle or facial features. So when people say 'decisions have to meaningful' I wonder why things like paragon…
-
Race changes and stat respecs should be approached seperately, but i think both should be added. With that said, a few comments on some of the points opposing race changes: It breaks immersion of my roleplay How? You likely have never met, or even stopped to notice the people around you to great enough detail that you…
-
I prefer the trinity with classes themselves being able to fulfillmultiple roles based on spec and playstyle. A required group structure lets the devs create interesting content without worry of 'who brings what' to the table. However, classes themselves should have the flexibility to fulfill multiple roles so that class…
-
Even if every piece of content is fixed for the current content, new content will always be released and it's safe to say it will generally always have a degree of bugs that allow for exploitation. Punishing legitimate players will be a recurring problem if a punishment system is implemented as the 'solution' to losing…
-
I shouldn't be penalized for leaving a group that is participating in exploiting. There is no way to design the system to be intuitive enough to distinguish between legitimate practices within the group and illegitimate. The best course of action is to design a replacement system where members can be easily replaced (i.e.…
-
I'd rather a system that allowed for easy replacement. I shouldn't be penalized for leaving a group of exploiters.
-
Undermountain is cool and all, but to get undermountain I assume we'd go through waterdeep, which is what would actually make me excited.

Can't tell if prefers easy targets or just bad....
