You know, the thing about speaking in absolutes is that you are either absolutely right or you are absolutely wrong. In this case, you are the latter. I've been playing MMOs since the beta of Asheron's Call, by any possible definition of the word I am a veteran player. I have always favored "Need before Greed" as a loot…
Allow me to expand on my comment; a tiny minority of a game's population being annoyed about a mechanic that is only truly tedious and time-consuming to them is in no way a reason for finite and precious developer resources being commited to work on changing that mechanic at the expense of work benefiting far more players.
"I have a dozen L60s all with Rank 20 Leadership and opening the hundreds of boxes I accumulate in a week and then using the drops to refine my gear is painful." do tell... I am hard-pressed to find any sympathy whatsoever for people playing the game as a career. Non, zip. nada.
And what would your problem be with that paradigm? That someone has four friends they run with? Or that are in a guild? Or that loot drops actually make sense to the class you're in? Let's face it, loot drops in almost any MMO anyone can mention follow almost no rhyme or reason. You kill a guy using a bow and he drops a…
This This is my sole hope for the entire expansion. If they treat this boss, this world boss, this deity of dragons the way they've trivialized the rest of the breed they have in all likelihood seen the last of my dollars. What they've done to dragons in ToD makes them a joke; Tyranny of Dragons? more like Tyranny of…
Stop it. Take your "PvP means nerf classes in a PvE-centric game!" logic to some e-sport, ranked, people get paid to play it pro-PvP game and stop thinking that you can nerf classes in a 1:1 PvP scenario without ruining them for the rest of the game.
And I would rather have a solidly dedicated and effective healing cleric, and...more importantly...the absolute need for one (along with the absolute need for an agg-management tank) in group content. :)
Your GS and 'chants prove nothing other than that you have spent either a buttload of time, or money, or both, gearing that character. It in no way, shape, or form implies skill or knowledge.
As soon as you can show them how they will turn a profit from spending coding time to change it, they'll change it. Sorry about the situation, and really sorry it's harshing gaming time with the kids...which I think is excellent of you by the way.
The horse, it's dead. The horse, it's not just dead but it's been beaten into a barely recognized bloody pulp that started to smell quite some time ago. Stop beating the dead horse.
Once again, options we are not given would save us all from this unending stream of uninteresting HAMSTER. Options>Audio>Advanced>Turn off Companion Speech Y/N How f'ing hard would that be?
When becomes your yardstick for staying with a game, then some evaluation of your criteria might be in order. The paradigm is in fact to nickle and dime people out of as much cash as possible, while investing as little as possible into the product. That's the reality of the free (no) to play publishing model.
"NO. You didn't pay $75 for the Dragonborn Race...you paid $75 for the Pack and everything that came with it. If you want to take the view that you paid for the race that's your business...but that's not what happened. And no, we never said we would never make the race available as a standalone and even if we did, EULA."…
My dream changes? -Dailies are gone, replaced by ever-continuing advancement lines of non-repetitive content. -Dragons are buffed insanely based on the number of opponents that are arrayed before them. They once again become something even a seasoned and equipped party is seriously challenged by. -Cut scenes become…
The ZAX dropping to zero was the result of a forced reset, it has absolutely nothing to do with the player side of the economy and the backlog building back up once again was to be expected. It was, in fact, predicted by more than a few posters. 500:1 sets a completely arbitrary $20/million AD value, and given the prices…
No carpal tunnel issues here at all. I've spent maybe 15 minutes refining things today, tops. What few things I had to use to refine things I used...then went on about the rest of my gaming. :)
It's the AD holder's dream come true, a world where Zen buyers...you know, the people spending real money to keep the game running...are forced to sell Zen to free2players at Cryptic's mandated exchange rate with no other option. The people who love this idea believe that Zen should be cheap to acquire and don't…
About to have a very unhappy wife who runs Oppressor and finally, with the last round of changes, started enjoying the game again. Yes it needed some changes...but making balancing changes with an axe instead of a scalpel is never a good idea, assuming you care about the people you're affecting.
