Some time has pass on this one and I wanted to, shamelessly, bump it to see if anyone had anything else to add. Thanks for taking my call, Ill hang up and listen.
Nocturnal is such a fine member of our Denial alliance. Eager, knowledgeable, and skilled. Nicolelg has guided them well and is a great example of good leadership can do for such a young guild.
Like many of you, I had been in a few guilds. For likely the same reasons, I eventually left them. Environments were either caustic, lethargic, sterile of good - active players, or lacked sound leadership to address any of those areas. Denial is the lone guilds that did and has been home for almost a year now. Manderake is…
For me, I need to resist the ever present desire to be overly critical of Cryptic just for the sake of. To snipe everything they do or say with some 'Capitalistic pigs!' rhetoric. That said, any motivation to keep calm, to try to see the long game, is shattered by their shots from the hip - their 'let's see if this sticks…
I used to defend them (cringe) but it is just painfully clear that have no idea what they are doing over there. I've never played a game where the devs \ managers were so willfully disconnected from the product they produce or the players that play it. It's just incredible...
In the OPs post, he used the word 'bug' 6 times. This is a tactic to attempt to reinforce the (false) notion that it was indeed a bug. This is not new: “If you tell a big enough lie, and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” ― Adolf Hitler I suppose what annoys me the most is that they expect that explanation to…
What you may be overlooking is their console population. I would venture to say that the combined console player base (active users) is on par, if not greater, than that of the PC. This generation of consoles can do more than what this engine is asking of them. With the PS4 pro and Scorpio on the way, IMHO, it would be…
This stuns me... Why? Also, with CryEngine (free), Unreal (free-ish), Unity, and Lumberyard (Amazon and based on CryEngine), there is no shortage of options. Again, its not lost on me the time and effort it would take to start using AAA engines like these but it just seems Cryptic needs to consider them as options to what…
The work that is involved is not lost on me; the company I work for created an engine around DX12 from scratch (Ashes of the Singularity). It's incredible the time and effort the devs spent on it. You are also spot on regarding the tools; the engine could be the new wheel but without a supporting tool-set its just lines of…
@flowcyto I see now, thank you... With that, with an Owlbear Cub, anyone (in IWD, Siege) unlucky enough to challenge you inside PoP is in for a surprise....
If I had to guess, it's in response to the event infini ball change butthurt. At least with Resurgence box, one has many opportunities to get the disk.
I guess I want to be clear on that. You have a native high crit chance, however, while under the influence of PoP, all your hits that would normally crit do not because the PoP buff does not allow crit. Is that an accurate summation? If true, you have the best of both worlds - high crit for more damage while not under the…
I sure it's what they hope to accomplish with the preview server but, like I believe you are eluding to, they may not put a class through the same paces as a dedicated player would. The problem they would have with drafting any of us is the transient nature of players. And to be clear, players did have a good few weeks to…
And I was one of them, fernuu; I also had seen many helpful posts from you. It's smug intros like his that will ruin new developer relationships. It's unproductive, rude, and unnecessary.
Why do you have to come across as a tool when you are asking for something to get fixed? Get over yourself, ask with respect, and maybe you will earn some along the way. Christ...
WIth Amenar gone, I honestly think they are lost - that no one there is as intimately familiar with the balance changes and, likewise, how to address any issues. Sadly, when this is the case (certainly not the first time), getting up to speed will take time as will what to do about it thereafter. I have little doubt we…
@schietindebux indeed and would again have the SW as a campfire greeter in PVP. Of all the changes I was looking forward to for the SW, it was this one that mattered most to me. With Amenar now gone, guess it will just stay HAMSTER. God damn it man...
@bloodyspamer Thanks for the feedback but I am not sure jumping off buildings is the test that would prove that it is the former and not the latter. A PVP test, using it to avoid a dunk, is really was what I was hoping to see.
@d4rkh0rs3 , thanks. It's still a ways away for me (Xbox) but I would really like to know. I pray it is indeed the former (1 second of immunity); really tired of being a dunk magnet in PVP...
What makes you believe that is true? Edit: NM... I see they updated this: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/xbox/neverwinter/news/detail/10074093-class-balance%3A-scourge-warlock
