Welcome to Cryptic MMO's. At around the third anniversary, there MIGHT be the amount of content they needed at launch.
-
No, it is not. There is no playable version of DnD - including DnD Next - that plays like this game. This game is Diablo 3 with a DnD skin.
-
There will be no wipe. There is no "end" to this "phase." Thus, the game is live.
-
There are no more tests. This isn't a test. This is launch, whether people believe it or not. That's why Founders got their five-day headstart, and there will be no more character wiping.
-
It's an error that would have been avoided had Cryptic actually done a real beta test, and not a paid beta that involved little actual testing.
-
Really? I've been in a queue for 45 minutes, with no end in sight.
-
I want to know how my que went from 15k down to 7k, then back up to 18k. Oh, wait - I know! Cryptic is trying to "entice" me to buy a Founder Pack!
-
It's official. This game is absolutely horrendous.
-
TC, your problem is that you think Cryptic is ever going to actually put DnD into this game, outside of references to books based on DnD. They won't. It's too hard, apparently.
-
Uh, oh.... Now you did it, TC.
-
Free players get two.
-
STO a bunch of ships and equipment (spacesuits, for example) that are quantifiably better than what's available in-game outside of the shop. That isn't cosmetic - that's paying for power.
-
No e-mail here, either.
-
I got it. I'm not sure exactly which one got me there, but I looked up some Half Life 2 console commands and entered this in the command line: -h 720 -w 1280 -window It made the game launch in Windowed Maximized mode, getting me into the game without a problem.
-
I don't know yet, but they sell power in the CO and STO stores, before and after PWE bought them out, and both were supposed to be "cosmetic-only" cash shops. Anyone not expecting the exact same thing here eventually is fooling themselves.
-
It was worth a shot, but it didn't work - all I get is a black screen with some music in the background. I also tried /x:1280 /y:720 and x 1280 y 720, to no avail.
-
Maybe I didn't make it clear - I cannot see the game in its stock resolution because it isn't compatible with my monitor. As such, I can't launch the game at all to change it. I need to force it into a resolution my monitor is capable of displaying. I don't have this issue with CO or STO, just here.
-
The game may not be full-on Pay-to-Win, but there will be power sold in the C-store, that's only available in the C-store, which is directly against their promise of a "cosmetic-only" cash shop. And grinding for AD to sell on the exchange for ZEN doesn't change that it's paying for power, since someone has to buy that ZEN…
-
According to the CO and STO forums, WINE works excellent in those games. Since the basic code base will be the same with NW, there's no reason to believe it won't here, too.
-
While true in general, you're overstating the actual success this brings in - remember that Windows has almost a 94% of the marketshare worldwide. Apple's only got 4-5%, with all of the Linux distros making up the rest. Considering the fact that those remaining six percent have ways of getting the game running pretty well…
-
We won't get a key. Apparently, our accounts are already updated, and we'll have access as soon as the servers open on Friday. Just download the launcher and patch up. I'm just curious about what time it'll be up on Friday.
-
Usually, denying someone money for something they worked on is a pretty hefty punishment. Especially if you still get to use what they worked on.
-
People who defend Cryptic are always changing definitions to things. First it was "cosmetic," then "exclusive." Most recently, it was "Dungeons and Dragons." Whatever they gotta say or do to make it seem like Cryptic has done no wrong whatsoever, they'll do. Best not get worked up about it. Just play the game until you get…
-
The five launch classes are already announced, and Ranger wasn't one of them.
-
Not this weekend. Maybe the next one, but I wouldn't hold my breath. IIRC, nobody got into any of the STO betas without paying or winning a contest.
-
That's probably what I'll have to do - Dwarf GWF, since nothing else available at launch is going to hold any interest for me.
-
Ships on the store are ALWAYS better than the ones not requiring a ZEN purchase. This kills your whole argument.
-
That's not why they're restricting it. They know it'll be popular, and will drive sales of HotN packs.
-
Since it's free, I'll likely have a bit of fun, until I get bored. That is the beauty of it, though - I can quit, won't be out anything, then pop in every six months or so and see if they've added anything I like.
-
My first character will be a Human Ranger, because no Fantasy MMO developer would be stupid enough to launch a fantasy MMO - a DnD one, no less - without a Ranger. Oh, wait.... Well, then I guess I'm going to have to make him a Human Two-Weapon Fighter, since no DnD MMO would be worth playing without the ability for a…
