I just logged in today to see about spending the bones I had accumulated during the event. I wasn't excited about the event, but I've been increasingly frustrated with the online gambling aspect of this game overall. This disappearing vendor nonsense is a good a final straw as anything I guess. It's a horribly mismanaged…

OP, I don't have a dog either, despite doing countless portals. It's probably a blessing in disguise. There's really nothing to give me second thoughts about walking away from my character and uninstalling the game.

This event was an opportunity for the developers to turn my quickly souring opinion of the game. Everyone that participated in the event and spend a decent amount of time protecting the city should have been rewarded with the nice glowy companion. Instead, if you got lucky, then you get something nice. If you weren't lucky…

Thanks for posting this, Stange. It saved me the trouble of looking hard for an example of the terrible community in this game. First of all, the dungeons only take 20 minutes if you skip the dungeon and just get to the final boss. Most MMORPG's feature group content where a team of people get together and actually play…

I've been playing for a little over a month and I haven't really decided whether the main problem is with the community or the developers. I think it may be a combination of the 2. I agree with everything you said there, but the fact is that this game has the absolute worst community I've ever seen in a video game. I've…

It's a kick in the shin that you can give a bunch of time to playing the event and not get the good companion unless you buy it from a lucky person on the open market. I gave alot of time to this event, hoping to get a blue dog and now I have to work, so I'm done with it. I ended up not really getting anything that I…

It seems that alot of the complaints of the current system be from players trying to direct sell goods in the game being banned. This results from a disagreement between players on how the zone chat channel should be used. The game would benefit greatly from a community moderated trade channel. I'd like to see the…

I stopped developing my first quest when I read how scaling is tough for level 60's. Once my main character is 60, I'll finish it and use her to test it for difficulty. I find the comments to be very valuable in choosing a foundry quest to run. Players will say how hard it was for them and you can get an idea of whether…

You're entitled to your opinion of what the report spam button's intended function is. I've considered what purpose it serves and arrived at a different opinion than yours. I have no incentive to convince you that my opinion is correct. Certainly, the developers gave us that power for a reason and certainly they know what…

The bottom line is that as long as the developers are willing to give me a moderation tool, I'm going to use it as I see fit. I'm not terribly interested in having a debate about why they gave me that tool or how they intend me to use it. I care about how it works and how I can use it to do what I want it to do. In this…

This is a great idea!

If you want to advertise sales, do it in the community created trade chat channel. If you do it in zone chat, you're gonna get chat banned. Ending advertisements in zone chat is the only way to make it usable for everyone else and flagging you for spam (which means unsolicited advertisment) is both appropriate and…

I generally prefer a subscription model, so I'm comfortable giving a company 15-20 dollars a month for a game I enjoy. I've had fun with this game so far, so i bought $20 in zen. I unlocked 2 character slots and bought a 10 pack of keys. I have a little zen left over and if I end up enjoying the game another month, I'll…

My favorites, inspired from other posts in this thread: "In communist Underdark, sushi eats you!" "Although he couldn't prove it, Greg suspected Mike always used his psionic powers to cheat at Rock, Holy Symbol, Knife." "...so then the Illithid says, 'flayer? I hardly KNEW her!'" "Even though Sharon knew it would go…

In general, if you devour content in an RPG, the only thing to really do is play it, uninstall it, and move on to another game. Content takes time to develop. It probably took them 3 years to develop the content you played through in 2 weeks. If you don't like repeating the same content, then you should get used to moving…

Wait... am i going to hit a limit where I can no longer mail items to myself any more after I've sent 100 things? Or do you mean you can only have 100 unclaimed items sitting in your mail queue? I've been mailing low rank runestones to an alt for storage to save inventory space. I'd hate to learn that I wrecked my whole…

Greg quickly realized the folly in not verifying what would be on the menu before RSVP'ing for a dinner invitation in the Underdark.

One thing I've seen in other forum posts is that quest givers will lose their quest icons once you out level the quest, but the actual quest will still be available from that guy if you talk to him. If you've outleveled the area, you might try going from camp to camp and talking to every single npc, looking for the guy who…

I agree that throwing a beta tag up there isn't a valid shield from criticism when you're taking money from customers. The community is right to call out PW and Cryptic for this practice, regardless of whether they feel it's justified based on what other games have done. Regarding the website that hosted this review. That…

I would caution the developers against trying to clone the World of Warcraft threat system just because some people on the forums are asking for it. I play a GF and I find that with a cooperative group who understands how the mechanics in this game differ from traditional global-cooldown based online rpg's, there's a…

It's pretty hard to legislate fairness and have such a casual group finder system in the same game. What I do is accept that if I use the group finder, any gear I get is a nice bonus. Of course I still play by the unwritten MMORPG loot rules of rolling need on stuff that is for my class and greed on stuff that isn't, but I…

See? I can break the terms of use agreement too. I didn't say that I'm obsessed with anything. I made a reasonable, mature statement and voted in the poll. I didn't threaten to quit playing, make emotional statements, hurl insults at other forum users IN CAPS SO THOSE INSULTS CARRIED EXTRA WEIGHT, or anything like that.…

Could you add some information about what time zone and days you play together?

Hey, I play sun/mon/tues evenings in the pst time zone. Can you talk about what kind of guild population you have in the game on those nights?
-
Yeah, one of the groups I was in had a Great Weapon Fighter who was on his second character. He talked about Epic Mad Dragon being the toughest fight in the game right now. He also gave some pointers about the fight and we discussed some strategies that might work. That group didn't do that well because we just couldn't…

Especially if you're not interested in competetive play, you should choose the combat style you most prefer. You're going to find plenty of complainers on a free-to-play internet forum who will talk bad about any potential choice you make. I play a Guardian Fighter and I like the play style of hiding behind a shield and…

Feedback usually serves a purpose. In this case it shows that 1400 vs. 600 think that Cryptic should change their mind on this issue. That's fairly compelling all by itself. The thread also has some pretty good feedback in it and that's generally a valuable thing for a developement studio to have from its community. If…

A full wipe with full zen/AD refunds for all real money spent in Beta is a good idea. It is the best way of addressing the exploitation that has occured during the Beta period and will also make the game feel fresh when the actual release hits. With no wipe, new players are going to feel like second class citizens. That's…

It looks like this thread is basically a war between people who want the entire game to be winnable by the lowest common denominator player, and people who have the skill to complete the hard stuff saying that it's a reasonably tuned piece of content for the end of the current game. I've always been on the side of tuning…
