Thank you! I know it's a triage situation and probably seems like a small thing (just some words, right?), but to the people who bring their imagination to Neverwinter, your Foundry authors and roleplayers, that little space for words constitutes at least half of what their characters are, and in some cases a whole lot…

This isn't exactly how your bug works. You can write and view your bio as many times as you want during the same session. You can even view it if you log out and back in and right-click on your upper left-hand character portrait and select "Inspect". But if you log out and back in and open your character sheet and click…

I think it was a mistake for Cryptic to pull the backstory development out of the final, full launch trailer, which plays in the game. When I saw that Xuna's origin had been cut, I wanted to shake whoever made the decision. People just coming in with the game's launch will never understand the meaning behind that final…

Character bios are being eaten by the history tab after each log-in, when the history tab is pressed. This bug has been in the game since the big balance patch, and you've now launched with it. :(

Thanks Necrodagger, you are one of this community's best.

FYI, they're not even taking that much flak for reducing prices. Throughout the thread, it's mostly the same handful of people complaining. Dudes, your avatars and handles are...right there. The community reps know it's not, you know, a riot. :rolleyes: I've spent a fair chunk of change on the game, but I know how pricing…

Ah OK, makes sense (I'm sure you can tell where the misunderstanding was).
-
So, end of Beta, portals are going to start popping open in the middle of the city and interdimensional invaders are going to spill out and try to kill everyone and lay waste to everything? OK. I can handle that.
-
Just a small nitpick with this point (the rest of your post I can't/won't argue with); I know what you meant when you typed this, you were thinking of physical materials used for production, of which digital bits obviously aren't comprised. You weren't thinking about staff and man hours, middleware and third party design…

I have something really specific that I'd like to do with the mouse wheel and /gfxsetdefaultfov, but I'm afraid that if I tinker around with this, I'll just break something. Could someone please help and write something that I can paste into a text file bind? This is what I want. Pressing the mouse wheel resets FOV to…

Please pass this bit of code along to the Champions Online janitor. :p

No matter what, I'm a big fan of player choices strongly impacting their game experience. Whether we're talking about outfits or powers, your characters should feel uniquely yours. That isn't often the case in fantasy MMOs, and this is one of the reasons I've avoided the fantasy genre in MMOs for a LONG time now.
-
Well I didn't say it but I was thinking of that too (I figured my post was long enough). I actually feel like it could be "just right" if they balanced things out with debuffs elsewhere; or maybe you're right, I can't tell yet. It's good if you're thinking logically, because all of my posts have come from gut-level…
-
While I agree with you in theory, I haven't agreed with this sentiment in practice for a long while now. I've heard too many candid interviews with devs and producers, including post mortem. How long can twice the work be supported? In the beginning when the publisher is dumping money on the team, it puts stars in…

Those are actually examples of things which I feel should be left up to the player through specialization. And when I say specializtion, I don't JUST mean feat paths, because when you pick and choose ranks for powers, you're also effectively specializing. Damage boost to mark, for example. The third and last rank is where…
-
Link to gameplay section: GF update feedback, and a bit of philosophizing over specialization trees. There's some of my feedback on the update. :)
-
Hey Krahct, I was the guy you debated this with. See the front page of the website--big patch incoming! Including the "Need" button being grayed out for classes that can't use it. This isn't just to say "you were right and I was wrong", but it's true, I didn't expect them to implement this change so soon, if ever. I also…
-
Yes and there are just as many people crying that they'll leave if changes aren't made. That's why it's called B A L A N C E. Feedback is needing during this period. Hence the creation of a preview/test server. I haven't seen an MMORPG that was in development where that rule was any different. If you want to take your…

Honestly I already loved my Guardian Fighter, and now look, you've gone and made him even better. Thank you, NW team! :D Oh yeah, and to all the haters who do nothing but spread your cynicism and doubt, bite my shiny metal shield! June 20th, in your face! Beholitches! Edit: I wonder what a "beholitch" would look like....
-
Also, thank you for keeping this platform optional. Keeping it optional, while giving people incentives to join, I think that's very wise.
-
I have to go for a while, but thanks to the few who responded. Most of you who disagree with me gave me things to think about instead of just trolling. Thank you. Hope more people have comments I can read later.
-
Well I was waiting for this to come up, because I knew it would hehe. Here's the thing though. Game designers were surprised, they were blown away by virtual item sales (and it really started in UO before EQ, but I'm splitting hairs). But they weren't up in arms over it. There's a recent candid interview from a gaming…

I don't want to just say "THEY'RE" idiots, because who are "THEY?" Lots of people work at these publishers. I guarantee you they're not all idiots. What I think happens though is, shareholders or other "key investment interests" are making decisions that used to be made by visionary creators. Before mictrotransactions, the…
-
I should add that I think this model is more likely to undo big publishing than it is to save it (not that either will happen). For the true struggling indie developer whose pure genius could shine if only it weren't trapped beneath someone's thumb--this new era is their rise. But my point was just that you can't untie…
-
Boiling it down to complaining about complaining, I think, is a cheap back door out of the argument. I know my post reads like an opinion column, so there's some complaining, but I'm defending my viewpoint more than I am complaining about yours. I'm willing to think about your other points, although really I've already…
-
I'm not sure where you heard they weren't accepting responsibility for bugs and other issues. They have continued to collect and prioritize reports and thanks to our feedback and their work, we now we have major updates announced around the corner. These fixes ARE their responsibility. Clearly they've accepted…

Woah I missed this thread! Great news, thanks for all your hard work Cryptic. Looking forward to the changes!
