Let's face it, this is a cash grab, pure and simple. For those willing to throw down $60.00 on a game, I would argue, successfully, that you are FAR better off buying GW2 for the same money. GW2, you get 5 Character Slots, 8 Races, 10 Professions (all of them good), a crafting system that works, an AH that is literally 5…
Actually, I haven't bothered to login for over a week. I look at it this way. Say you want to spend $60.00. You could buy a founders pack, which gets you a mount and some stuff, but really not anything you can't earn in 30 days. Or you could buy a REAL game, like GW2, which I did. Trust me, this game can't hold a candle…
I'm in the same boat. Got GW2 ages ago, leveled to 80, and got tired of the grind. But, here's my 2 cents.. I paid about $60.00 for GW2. I payed $0.00 for NW2.. And, for the investment, I would pick GW2 over neverwinter, no questions. I've played almost every mmo from Ultima Online, EQ1/2, Wow (till litch king), EVE…
The problem isn't the guilds. The problem is that it was advertised as 'epic', when in reality, it is anything BUT epic. There are NO 20 man groups, working together to solve a problem. I played gaunt 1 time on live, and here's what I saw. Part 1: 5 guildies and I entered gaunt. We got piled up with a ton of other people.…
So, basically what we're saying, as a realistic FACT, there can be NO lvl 10 enchants in game. I don't care if every single person gave ALL their enchants to a single character, it would never happen. There is no way there have been 440,000,000 drops. I don't care if you used wards, there have not been enough drops to…
I just redid the calucations using your math. Assuming you are smart, you would only use a covalesent ward on rank 8-10.. You would use preservation wards on rank 1-7.. Here's the numbers required to make a rank 10 Ward, using wards.. Calculate yourself how much zen/real money it would take. Hint: It's a LOT Success Used…
I double checked you math, and I can do you one better.. I calculated the number of Teir-1 enchants required to get to Tier-10 IF you never used any wards.. If you didn't spend ANY money, you would use over 150,000,000,000 (150 BILLION) Rank 1 Enchants to get a Tier-10. Now, if that's no PROOF of pay to win, or cheaters, I…
The game was unbalanced from day 1. Let's look at the facts Day 1: Cheaters throw billions and billions of fake AD into the economy Day 3: Cheaters exploit foundry to level 60, and start farming T2 gear Day 5: The cheaters (maybe no AD cheaters), sell their gains to AD cheaters, throwing billions of fake AD into the…
As far as pvp, This is a problem that cannot be solved. Period. Why, because it's human nature to get the most reward for the least effort. Assuming you have reached level 60, and you are spec for PVE, then you ARE going to lose. That's just the way the world works. I fully expect the new pvp, after the patch, to be an AFK…
No, no, no.. What I am saying, is how it currently stands, I have ZERO incentive to 'win' pvp. Glory has no value, so why bother? AD has value, that's the ONLY reason most people even do PVP, is to get the 4000 AD. If they make it so glory has a REAL VALUE, then, and only then would PVP cease to be an afk fest, and become…
A:Like the special olympics, even if you 'win' pvp, you are still a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. But, I don't care, I get a 'participated' award with 4000 AD. That's all that matters. The fact that I'm 'afk' still makes me a participant, so I get a white ribbon at minimum. Again, who cares if you can one-shot other…
Gee, all these comment from people who don't play a DC. I do negligible dps compared to a gwf or a tr, who can usually 1 hit debuff and kill me. Unless there are 2 DC's stacking astral, we are pretty much always the first target by everyone. I'm not spec'd for pvp, I'm a healer for pve, and pvp is all about the burst dps.…
As I said before, my excuse for AFK is the 4,000 daily AD. That doesn't care if you win or lose? You say change it so you have to WIN to get that AD? I say you have a revolt.
I'm sure not dumb enough to spend AD on something I earned in 2 days. Soon you run out of stupid people spending AD for stuff they can earn for free. It takes a special kind of moron to pay AD for something you can earn pretty quickly doing pvp. I'm guessing they are not smart enough to go the the blades shop to see just…
It's not a problem of population. It's a problem of getting people to spend money. Just some basic idea. Given that they have 100K accounts, what percentage of those spent $200.00.. I'd say, in most instances of 150 people, I see 2, maybe 3 spiders.. This could be way off, but extrapolating, I'd say they sold 3,000 of the…
Lets be honest. The ONLY way you are ever going to see a refund is a chargeback. Paypal gives you 30 days to dispute, and cyrptic won't do anything about it. If you paid $200.00 for an advertised $700.00 package that was worth.. umm, less than $50.00, you should do the chargeback. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say a…
