Do Cryptic want an AD sink though? It could be that since the exchange topped out, they are selling more Zen, and therefore making more profits. As player unfriendly as it is, it could well be that the current state of affairs is in fact better for the game in that respect - More money being earned, equals more money…
I collected 96 grommets before I decided to give up (Though it wasn't a complete waste, as I was (still) working on my Dread Ring and Sharandar dailies). I could see that there was no possibility I would have the strength of will to put in enough hours to gain a worthwhile reward. A shame, but there's no way I personally…
I think the article is just a repost of the one from last week, so that's when they were all redeemed. They have remove the code though - It was on a pauldron in the picture of the Great Weapon Fighter.
Can you also tell us just what the reward (or at least what title) is that we'll get. I wouldn't have entered if I'd have known it was a repeat of last weeks, and therefore someone else would potentially be in with a chance.
Maybe even a touch higher. 55,000 or 60,000. That way, whilst you 'can' wait patiently to have your order fulfilled, if you're impatient and desperate, you've got an option.
I'd like something more like a weekly mission where you've got to clear the quest chain of whatever area at level 60 (Or higher) for a halfway decent reward plus a (small) chance at something more tasty.
If you are in a country that supports it, use the 'Free Zen' banner offers.perfectworld.com and see if there are any adverts/trailers to watch, or questionnaires that you can fill in. I've occasionally gotten lucky with those in the past and nabbed a couple of hundred Zen pretty sharpish.
Do you have to actually buy Zen, or just transfer it. I ask as I've got 2000-odd Zen in my "Perfect World Zen Wallet" from watching adverts and filling in surveys, so if I can get away with just shifting 500 of those over as opposed to buying more...
Your idea wouldn't work. Why? Because a big chunk of the appeal of Neverwinter (And Star Trek: Online) is that you don't have to spend a penny to unlock anything. Whilst it would still be the case if the cap were removed, it would also frighten off a large number of non-paying customers (Who whilst they aren't adding to…
I had a look at the screen a couple of days ago during the CtA, and there were 127,000 Zen available at 500 a pop. I looked again yesterday and it was back to over 100,000 in arrears.
That's precisely the point. By having local servers (EU, Asia, Australia, where-have-you), you cut down on the number of connections needed, lowering the likelihood of hitting a (or dare I say, more than one) throttled network, speeding up peoples connections and resulting in marginally happier customers. ... Personally…
I only bothered 20 times myself (Well, 21 including a single run with my level 16 second character), and yep, no luck. Mind you, I wasn't particularly expecting any - The minimum number of runs I've needed to do before to nab a lackey was 60-odd, and this one I didn't find interesting enough to even seriously try (I was…
It doesn't reduce threat by that much (I'm assuming). That buff popped up a few times whilst I ran this last CTA, and despite not having investing in bumping up my threat, very, very rarely did I lose it - Even when I was trying to...
You'll love the new not quite an MMO by Richard Garriott (Shroud of the Avatar) then when its released - They'll have exactly that - Complete with sound effects available to... Ride.
For meself, 63 attempts for the druid and I gave up after 50 attempts for this critter. I was feeling burnt out after the last one, then Respen's came along and I did that the... 30(?) times to get sufficient tokens to buy my critters (One pet, one companion), and whilst it was repetitive, it was also fun (And having two…
On the one hand, Woohoo! Expansions and new content for games is always great. On the other; BAAH! Its the day I finally rejoin the ranks of the gainfully employed, and so won't get much time to give it a spin (straight away at least).
I think improved rewards would probably have the best return, and be best at drawing people in. However I think non-equipment rewards would probably be best in order to lessen abuse. So fireworks, tomes of companion experience, small chests of goods (rarely)... Or perhaps bring in the dice roll from the SCA login reward as…
