If it's any consolation, my level 64 CW got flattened by the Revered Thlorogg last night.
-
Voted bard because I'm curious how they will handle it. Spell-casting musician, or courtier with a rapier? An archer, maybe? Or a wand-wielding scholar? I think they could do a shapeshifter druid or a caster druid, or more likely a bit of both. After seeing how the warlock turned out, I would rather not see another pet…

Nice work, Felix. If I were designing the class, I would make Wisdom primary, not put damage on two stats, put % resistance ignored (ArmPen) on one of the stats, use <shift> for a roll ability (monks should be acrobatic), and maybe use <tab> for a defensive / offensive stance switch like monkey to crane. Also, I would…

They could certainly do a better job with the Zen store. Your cash shop should be a place players like to visit, repeatedly. If I were running an MMO, I would release new fashions every month, and rotate what I was selling in the cash shop every month. You know, just treat it like you would an actual store. I mean, if…

Voted dont know, but based on the poll, maybe I should level my GF first.

The combat / gameplay. Smooth and visceral. Puts certain other high-profile MMOs to shame. The art. The game world looks good and inviting. The Foundry. I don't use it much but just having it there, knowing that your characters have potentially unlimited adventures ahead of them, is good. The class design. Tanks have to…

It's a pretty graphic, but this isn't the Roman army. We don't fight in three lines. We use flanking attacks. I would position the troops more like: ....GF.... ...GWF.... ..TR..HR.. ..CW..SW.. ....DC.... The first column engages and turns the enemy, the second column then flanks them (i.e. gets combat advantage and stays…

I agree. Make companions unlock account-wide and you'll sell more of them. I have bought several mounts from the Zen store, green mounts even, and I do not regret any of those purchases... because if I decide a mount does not suit one character, it may yet suit another character. When I was playing a certain…

Herundrion answered everything else, so... A DC is not a WoW priest. Closer to a shaman as far as armor goes (but no shield, unfortunately). Also, not as strong a healer as a WoW priest; this is an action MMO, so it's hard to target individual heals. You are more of an AOE healer, and more of a buffer / debuffer than a…

The Heal when casting Bastion of Health or Divine Glow with Divinity is not affected by Shield of the Divine so far as I know. That's not what you mean, is it?
-
I used to refine my own enchantments, but it was unprofitable. Looking at the auction house today, for instance, I saw rank 7 darks going for 80,000 AD. That's barely more than the cost of the 3 marks of potency needed to craft a rank 7 from scratch, and doesn't take into account the value of the RP or the preservation…

I won a rust monster one time and was so mortified to have my name announced that I deleted the character.
-
Given that we have beast companions with 2-3 attack animations already in the game, my suggestion for Druid would be to make the class mechanic or <tab> slot hold a beast companion. You would assign the companion to the slot the same way you assign potions to 4-6. The companion chosen would determine what shape you can…
-
It's possible some of my suggestions are already in the game and I do not know about them. Quality of Life improvements -- 1. Transmute tool that can exchange* RP between artifacts * speed between mounts * upgrades between companions So you put in a purple Man at Arms and a white Con Artist, click the button, and get a…
-
I like how she uses her lyre's bow as a wand. In 5th ed. terms, this would be... a lore bard multiclassed with some sorceror levels for the cantrips to use as At-Wills, maybe? I am more familiar with 2nd ed. bards that were basically spellcasters with bow and arrows, and didn't use their instruments in combat much. I guess…
-
I had some GWF player call me a "nub" after we wiped on Fulminorax -- and he had not once attacked Valindra, in fact she flew down and killed me while he was off fighting the dragon. I didn't even know what to say, so I just put him on /ignore. I think it's due to people coming from other games where the healer can carry…
-
I'm excited about the new OP class. That is, Oathbound Paladin, not overpowered. I expect it will be the standard sword-and-board paladin type, but does anyone know any details? Is my dream of a polearm specialist paladin still alive?
-
Constructive criticism? Well, you've got the criticism part down at least. Some of the companions suck more than others. It would be nice if Cryptic could find the time to do a pass on the active bonuses and even them out a bit. Not a real high priority... but if in the meantime they would slash companion prices or make it…
-
I don't know about the game, but the future on this forum appears to be endless whining from players who do not know what the word "constructive" means. Maybe PWE isn't investing as much money in the game as you would like... so make the case that they should invest more. And you're upset about the console version? They're…
-
I think this is something companies do when they no longer foresee making big investments in their business. You'd look foolish going private if you needed to issue new stock in a year. Although, I don't know whether gaming companies do finance new titles with stock issues. Perhaps they will sell Cryptic or perhaps the…

The she-dwarf hawking the starlight boxes in Twilight Tor -- whoever's doing her should get a Christmas bonus. If I met her in the mall selling something, I'd buy ten. Tiamat and Valindra are both great. As are their minions. Neverwinter FOOLS! Rhix has more character than the whole rest of the game. He should do a movie.…
-
And probably not much earlier than that. I believe they were working on the ranger and warlock since before launch, so it could take a while. My guess for the Totally Unexpected is a new playable race. Not gnomes. Better something flashy that people will pay Zen to unlock, like minotaurs, winged devas, or even shardminds.
-
I don't know of many official statements that any new classes are coming, so it's good to hear that they are working on one at least. New classes ought to be the bread and butter of MMOs like this one, they get players to reroll and buy boosts and cosmetic items... What does this mean? Not an increase to the level cap,…
-
Dungeons aren't dead. I think it's a friendlier atmosphere now, because players are there more for fun and less to make their rAD for the day or whatever. The need/greed and gear score police are gone. I just got my HR to 60, started doing my daily Foundries while waiting in dungeon queue, got five set pieces from dungeons…

I would prefer... swordmage over monk shaman over druid battle cleric over paladin
-
I am trying something like this, AC, righteous spec. My loadout so far is astral shield / FF / divine glow. Will probably slot Break the Spirit instead of FF next time I log in; either way that will be my empowered spell most of the time. I am using Astral Shield instead of Sunburst because I do not want to accidentally…
-
I would like some simple things. The main thing I spend Zen on is services, so I would like more of them: 1) The ability to change character's background & deity. 2) The ability to change character positions in the select screen (this should really be free). 3) The ability to unbind pets. Cryptic should work out the…
-
I don't understand. If you are playing the game for the "rewards", you know that you will eventually run out of possible rewards, right? And then you will quit playing. You will only play so long as Cryptic dangles a carrot in front of you, so why should they take your pleas for a shorter stick seriously? The threat to…
-
I like this. Some other currencies / tokens are shareable between characters. Astral diamonds practically are. And you'd have to spend the same amount of time grinding... but you could grind Sharandar on your GWF, and give the boons to your GF. Account-wide boon unlocks... don't fit this game. Campaigns are half the…

Theoretically, it's possible to reduce lifesteal without making players dependent on healers, if it's done alongside other balance changes, like increasing the efficacy of the other stats. Marvel Heroes is an example of a game that nerfed lifesteal, and they did so without some of the problems posters in this thread have…
