That requires the ability to actual see yourself in a post. Being able to do it from the profile, like every other forum for the last 15 years, would be a nice feature.
This is actually the root cause of the problem. The game "released" 4 months ago with open beta. Open beta allowed people to exploit and blow through content. Then when the game actually released, many people were done with it. Not wiping servers at launch was a huge mistake.
After last night, not much I have to say. Ran GG on my GWF, Red steamrolled Blue. Joined a Fardelver group led by a tweaker (there? there? there? can we come yet? there? there?) who kept trying to skip everything, even though it was clearly pointed out it had been hotfixed. 1 hour of my time, zero enjoyment. I have 2 GWFs…
I agree 100%, having spent 12 years out of the last 30 developing games myself. However, people have been reporting these exploits for months, and the content, and layout of every zone and dungeon is nothing more than narrow corridors that are very easy to put walls on. The first time I entered Fardelver a few weeks back,…
Don't the devs actually have an intern who can run through the dungeons and find these? This would be just a few hours of work, then a few more to lay in some polygons with no textures to wall off places you don't want players visiting.
I spent over an hour in Frozen last night, "skipping" all the trash (which killed us 3 times), skipping the first boss, wiping to adds someone wandered into, getting through the door, trying to kill the second boss without killing the adds (which wiped us twice), which then endlessly spawned as we tried to run to the last…
A game saver for NW would be random dungeons that dropped decent loot, and it's already available in game via the Foundry. If level 60 Foundry quests could drop decent blues, and the occasional purple, it would add hours of things to do at 60 for the 20 hours a day when Dungeon Delves isn't up. But... all my characters are…
Molten Core was available at launch. It also didn't take 20 hours to level to 60. It also didn't allow 80% of subscribers to exploit all content and be fully geared before it left beta. WoW actually had a good grinding curve to gear up to Molten Core, not overly long, but you also couldn't bypass it.
But for a few months prior to the game being official, people had already finished everything the game offered. That's what's missing. You could start playing WoW right now, and not see everything that game has to offer over the course of a year (if you actually tried to do everything). I just leveled my 5th 60 in NW, and…
I'll second nyrovaines question. Which Foundry? I ran Protect the Caravan several times the other night, because I heard it was a gold mine. I got 1 rank 3 Dark in half an hour.
High latency is not lag, it's high latency. If you are overseas, and have a 500ms ping to the server, then everything you do will take longer for the server to realize it than someone with a 10ms ping. People with high latency get used to the feel of the game. Lag is when you have a low ping, or a ping you are accustomed…
Packet loss causes lag, not speed. Take your antiquated T1 at 1.5Mbps, compared to a DSL line at 20Mbps. They both are fully capable of sending the 150kbps the game requires in order to play well. The data gets there on both connections. It's when the data doesn't get there that you notice lag.
The Man-at-Arms does the "over the shield while blocking" attack which is a taunt, and that's pretty much all he does, so you end up fighting them for the mobs attention. Anyone with that pet out in a 5 man dungeon is just making the GF feel like he's not needed.
I just leveled a GWF to 60 (my second one) with a Dog. Never used the cleric, never needed it. Regen and Life Steal, and a Sentinel build and you can pretty much pull as much as you want as you power through each zone. Time played was 32 hours, but I did spend too much time doing the event two weeks ago.
Doing nothing but a few dailies, and invoking, while leveling to 60, will give you enough AD to buy almost an entire set of epic T1 gear when you hit 60. There is no excuse to be wearing anything that's green at that point. I just finished leveling my 5th character, and his mailbox had a full set of gear waiting for him…
I finally got in one of these last night, and witnessed the same thing. What's funny is that at the portal to the boss, there are invisible walls everywhere, but none are used prior to that to prevent the kiddies from skipping everything to get their useless T1 gear in 2 minutes.
