Case in point, UK players of City of Heroes once had connection trouble to the data centre in Germany, because a routing centre in Egypt was down.

The first time you make a purchase with a new card or method they will hold it in review for up to 24 hours (usually 30 mins - 2 hours) in order to ensure that it isn't a fraudulent transaction.
-
None of this has anything to do with this - In the first post you're saying you worked it out through observation, you observed that the RNG has bad ruts that should be corrected. The second post states that the entire thing is fixed before you even open the window to do the task. Neither has anything to do directly with…

Do you have proof of this you can post here? There's only 2 ways you can know this after all, * You worked for Cryptic on the game engine at some point, congratulations on preventing yourself getting a job in the gaming field again by giving out proprietary secrets publicly. * You managed to hack the servers, dump the code…
-
At least three reasons exist that I can come up with off the top of my head - * To allow some form of economic control over the zen market so that Zen doesn't always stay at 500/1 ratio. * To bottleneck top tier progression. * To prevent prices on the exchange from spiralling out of control.

As a perfect analogy setting up for a game of DnD is a lot of hard work, especially for the DM. The DM needs to ensure everyones characters are ready, everyone is up to date on the rules, choose and or write a quest/campaign, find a time that suits everyone to play and make sure that the correct equipment is available to…
-
No, but you would if that method involved skipping 90% of the actual job and only doing the stuff with visible results though. Maybe not immediately but it would happen eventually.
-
Because the intent of the dungeon is that you should fight most, if not all, the waves of trash mobs between you and the boss in order to increase the time it takes to beat the boss and as such the value of the reward. Seriously, you might as well ask why you need to go to work to earn money which you need to live. It's…
-
What, so when you invest points into a decent - must have skill now and the devs change it to a near useless skill in a few months you should be stuck with that now useless skill?
-
It's the Jedi mind trick called "I'm a big chest of the sort you keep finding filled with stuff." Also welcome to the madhouse akromatik
-
Some of the issues might not be issues on Neverwinter's end though, they might be problems on the backend server that handles the mail across all Cryptic games (aka the chat server). As such their might be limitations forced on the functionality for the Neverwinter UI by the backend system itself that won't go away unless…
-
Neither PWE or Cryptic will ever give a definitive answer on what you can do before it's considered an exploit in order to avoid people going up to the line they draw and then citing the official answer whilst effectively going "Nah nah nah nah nah, you can't ban me". By keeping silent on how far you can go it allows them…
-
It is an accepted fact (lets not mess about here, it's in the nature of computers in general for stuff to go wrong at times) for Neverwinter to go down unexpectedly for extended periods of time causing people to lose their celestial coins. This isn't bad programming or cheap parts, even the best made parts can break down…
-
Yes and no, all three Cryptic games are on the same server farm (The term server in an MMO actually refers to a collection of machines that handle the game, it'd be impossible for any single machine to handle all the interactions for multiple players in an MMO) and share a chat server (global channels cross all three…
-
Not so much that it offends, just that if they start allowing people to post in languages other than english, then they'll either need to spend time translating each post, or risk a post that violates (other) forum rules through because they can't understand it. As such the policy is to keep all posts in this forum in…
-
People forget two factors in the decision the last time an exploit like this happened. * It happened the day of the Module 2 patch, which had a lot of advertising on other sites. * The last time a rollback happened (caturday), the servers were offline for 12 hours. You can expect any attempt to manually remove the horses…
-
What people forget also is that RNG requires an input to randomise, most use the current CPU clock count as this constantly changes, however something on the scale of NW can't use the clock count because it would bog the server down too much, so most MMOs use the current time as a base for the randomiser. (For reasons why…
-
Well the issue could be closer to Cryptic's end but still out of their jurisdiction, your best bet would be to open the command prompt and run tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com to see if you can find out where the issue is.
-
It doesn't have to be at either end, it could be somewhere in the middle after all. Hell, the UK once had massive lag to the CoX servers in Germany because of a routing centre being down in Egypt.

After loading the page click on my account at the top, it should log you into the forums automatically.

The level cap in DnD 4e is 30, Neverwinter currently goes to 20 as the paragon paths we choose at level 30 are a level 10 choice in 4e. Levels 20-30 are the place of Epic destinies.
-
Yes this too. You can tell if it's an exploit if they're gaining stuff far faster than it seems legitimate.
-
Go ingame, press Escape, select help. If the issue is your character is stuck or items have vanished ect. ect. (i.e. something that happened to your character that has a permanent or semi-permanent effect) then submit a GM request. If the issue is just that you've noticed a mistake with the numbers or powers not working…

24k is a nice round number in Octal (30k)
-
* The forums can't help with support ticket problems. * PWE are under no obligation to restore your item and in fact have openly stated that using the mail to store items isn't 100% reliable.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again, each melee mob should have a massive damage ranged attack that they only use if they cannot find a path to the player. Problem solved.
-
Is that the fault of the devs, or the fault of authors so concerned about getting plays for their own quests that they ignore threads asking for help or advertising other quests?
-
Because if they did that, people would just cycle through 50 exploit missions gaining full XP for each one.
-
They stated openly before that the Foundry authors and players will not be charged at any point because it drives authors away.
-
If the drop rate is lower than they planned (don't try to predict this, they have the real numbers) then a patch will be released, if it isn't then it won't. Just because something is in the Cash Shop and a rare drop, it doesn't mean that there won't be a patch to correct a drop rate that's too low.
