No chance for long term success for not only this game, but the whole MMO genre, in the West, as what Take-Two said. Players in the East have fun with their games. Players in the West think they own the games but in fact they don't spend a penny to develop anything and are entitled to nothing. They are just freeloading and…
Double standard is applied to different aspects in this game. In pvp, afkers can't get kicked so either you stay there for 10 minutes and get no reward or leave and take a 30 minute suspension. No. It is not a bug because the developers catered different aspects of the game to different people. Obviously they can fix these…
This "leader"board is the worst score board in any game I have ever played. I did not pvp after getting all the 10 tasks done in Mod 3. Came back and played 5 games this week, won all of them only to see I dropped in rank with every win. Then I lost a game but gone up in rank. Won 6 more and dropped in rank 4 times and…
Grinding is doing the same thing repeatedly. Waiting is simply doing nothing. Waiting is not grinding by any mean. There are always many things you can do both in and off the game, like browsing the internet, AH shopping or going to the bathroom. If you are one of those impatience ones, you can jump around and kill trash…
Not that all of them don't know about these "hidden secrets". It is these "secrets" are not worthy of the time. Most players only run DD for the rewards and they try to squeeze in multiple runs by using all means to skip trash mobs and bug exploit shortcuts.
They are still doing the daily grind because this is what mmorpgs have become since WoW. Every mmorpg is dubbed a WoW-clone and dailies are just defacto feature of mmorpg. Rest assured, not everybody likes it but if they don't like it they don't have mmorpg to play. No problem though as there are MOBA among other games…
100 sigils are not that hard to get actually. The grind to unlock the boons are not much different than IceWind Dale. More complaints here probably because a lot of people use their sigils to get Dragon's Hoard enchantments. About buying the boon unlock books from the AH... personally I won't. Like the current module, I…
Good thing you know Blizzard will be selling characters but don't be as ignorant as those who think level 90 characters are not more powerful than level 1 ones. You like the WoW dailies but not the Neverwinter ones? That's your opinion. Nothing wrong with opinions that everything has the right to express, whether right or…
WoW has far more daily grind that this and allows you to buy an instant near end game level character, read that, not 2x experiment weekend or boon unlock, it is simply pay for the end game character on top of a monthly subscription. But yet, more than 7 million zombies and bots still play it and fanboys say it smells like…
The boon unlock items sell for more than 2 million AD each. That should give you an idea how rare they are. Even if you get one in 100 runs it's a profit of 20k AD per run just from the boon unlock drop. That's too good to be true. Some time you look at the market prices of some items and tell they are a lot more rare to…
The drop rates of goodies are supposed to be low or else they won't worth much. I don't think you get better chance for rare drop in Epic SoT. The only noticeable differences to me between normal and epic SOT are the helms and the draconic enchantment. In fact, I got a couple of dragon gems in the regular version but none…
Dragon's Hoard = more supply of pearls and peridots. Artifact gear is more effectively enchanted with resonance stones and equipment = less demand of pearls and peridots. Millions and millions of AD needed to buy Artifact gear and new items + AD drained from 2x refinement weekend = less supply of AD = less demand of…
If they suck and come in poor gear then they are probably full time QA and/or community Cryptic employees. If they come as 20k gs players who are unhittable, never miss and know all the bug exploits nobody else in the game knows then they are likely "volunteers" or temps.
I came back after a couple of months and found my 18k gs CW with perfect barkshield one hit by the Epic Shores boss. No more 30 kills in Dominion pvp neither. I think bark sucks really bad now but I have a feeling it will be rebuffed later.
Events are not one off. They don't come daily or weekly but events like CTA come about once a month. And you don't really miss a lot if you miss or don't participate in most of these events as their rewards are mostly tradeable. Seasonal events like the Summer Festival are different though as they only come once a year but…
Neither is our choice of whether to participate in Foundry, DD, Dominion, GG, or not to play at all in Cryptic's jurisdiction. Charles Darwin summed it up the best way. The "right" choice is determined by natural selection. For that reason, if Foundry is better than other events it will prevail. Likewise, somebody who…
So are these Neverwinter events outside your jurisdiction. Having the Foundry contest compete with other events is no difference than having the Daily Foundry compete with Daily GG, dungeons, etc. Are people doing daily foundry when GG, dungeon delves etc are running? Maybe, maybe not. The point is these events run…
Contests are events too. Events happen simultaneously around the world every second. As I am typing now, a baby is born, a kitty is killed, Obama is getting older... Events happen all the time and most of them are not mutually exclusive. The fact is multiple events can run at the same time.
The couple of people who said they got better drop from the chests did not say how many times they attempted. Perhaps the chance in getting anything better than the standard items in the chests is far lower than what you normally get in only 9 attempts.
Yes, I think campaign is what most players are going for and most of them are kill tasks. Newbies normally go for easy node captures. So are farmers who intend to sell the first glory cache campaign reward only. More experienced players usually go for kills. However, if the ultimate goal of a player is to complete all the…
Hmm... Let me see... Lack of flexibility... can't respec frequently... etc etc etc... Frankly, what OP said does not only describe this game. It is the entire MMORPG genre. Many games don't even allow you to respec more than once or twice in the entire lifespan of a character. So, why just complain in this game? If you…
If what you said is right then this ELO system is certainly not working. I did an experiment with my brother and another friend. We queued individually at the SAME time. Each of us got paired up with 3 17k+ gs premade teams who apparently hit with perfect accuracy. It is quite obvious that if premades are matched with…
Did you see other people making threads on what you called "tons of problems"? I did. Tell me why I should make another thread repeating the same things that have already been mentioned? The fact is what I mentioned will take virtually no time for the developers to fix while your "tons of problems" will take quite a bit of…
They can tell if connection is dropped on their side. There is an error log. If your window disappeared on your side then perhaps you can ask yourself, your little brother, your cat or your internet provider but why should Cryptic be held responsible for "connection problem" on the side of your computer?
How is the ELO system work on a full or partial team entry? Obviously, the team will not be broken up so is the ELO system just going to pick up 5 random bodies from the queue to match with them or are they going to be paired with another team? Let's say the scenario is 2 different teams of 4 members each joined the queue.…
You can always check the AH for the latest prices but the quick answer is "a lot more than you want to know". For instance, just a piece of epic artifact may cost millions to buy and an addition of 6-9 millions of refinement material to make it legendary. Some black ice gear pieces are from crafting. The gloves and main…
