  • I could hardly play yesterday. Extreme rubberbanding, even in dungeons and PvP arenas and every few seconds I got a "server not responding" message. I didn't get kicked, but everything around me just stopped without freezing. Other player's characters and monsters just stood around, idling and I could move around and use…
  • I doubt this is a bug. I think some of the pods are supposed to be empty, giving the quest a certain lottery element. I think if it were a bug, all the pods would be empty.
  • This looks to me as if they intended to install invisible walls but accidentally gave them the wrong texture.
  • The developers had announced that prices for services like separating enchantments from gear would go down with the Sharandar update. Didn't happen. I have learned to only believe the announcements of bad changes from those people.
  • Yes, the times are inconvenient for me too. Always when I'm online, that Delzoun Crypts and Iron Tabernacle stuff is running, which I don't do. I always have to stay on hours longer than is convenient or come back at inconvenient times in order to get in a DD.
  • Did they change stuff? I only did this skirmish once since the new one was introduced with Sharandar and I did it with a new character, but back before that, when I still did it often, even casual players like me considered it to be rather easy. I don't like comments like "You guys just don't know how to play!" and that is…
  • Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately all 4 incidents happened in different maps and dungeons, so I cannot pinpoint a certain place that could have caused it. The other players didn't complain about lag, so I don't know if that had something to do with it. With the exception of the last one, their characters just stopped…
  • That depends on what that class would actually be. If it were a ranged version of the TR that is able to deliver boss killing DPS at long ranges, that clearly would be OP. If it were a class that does moderate damage, it would be redundant because it would be just a CW without the crowd control abilities. A Archer class…
  • I never played PnP games, but even I am disappointed. When I heard about a D&D license based MMO, I thought: "Hey, if there ever is a MMORPG that has to be heavy on the RPG and adventuring part, it has to be the one with the D&D license." Boy, was I wrong. It is my first MMO and I never had heard of Perfect World or…
  • Stats and Gear Score can be very deceptive in some cases anyway. The best example is a Stealth build TR. A fully specialized TR of that kind can stay invisible indefinitely during a fight and thus kill even hard bosses all on his own. He will need some time for that because putting all your eggs in the Stealth basket means…
  • Inspired by this thread I used my free respec to get Gloaming Cut, which I had deemed useless before and I must say I'm disappointed. The extra time I get in Stealth for killing an enemy with it is about as much as the animation for Gloaming Cut takes, 2 seconds at best, usually not enough to kill even the weaker next…
  • Thanks for the reply. I did have to abort several Foundry quests over the last weeks due to bugs or not having time or not liking the quest. I always did fully abandon them though and didn't let them clutter up my quest log.
  • It is most glaring in the new Master Of The Hunt Skirmish, because there are so few adds in it that TR and GWF are usually hitting the same monsters throughout the whole skirmish.
  • What happened to the "Lurker's Assault will teleport you to your target"-thing? Is it a bug that it doesn't do that for me or did they just not do that?
  • I don't want to express it as harshly as Somedoge, but I don't see how that is a solution to the problem that good GWF do more damage than good TR. I do use Stealth as much as possible and I do use Impossible to Catch where I have to (it does wonders on Dracolych because it needs a second or so less to cool down than his…
  • Unfortunately even that isn't really the case anymore. TR basically have had ONE power that did all their damage: Lurker's Assault, a daily. That one power was basically the only source of the TR's boss killing abilities. That has now been nerfed from +60% damage down to +20% damage. And even before the nerf it was hard…
  • I like the new content but I hate the nerfs. Now my TR definitely does less damage than a GWF, which makes the whole class pointless.
  • When I saw what was going on (with all the Admin messages about people winning horses there wasn't much else to see on the screen), I just shrugged and didn't try to exploit that bug because I was sure something like that can't possibly be rewarded. I was sure there would be a rollback or some other measure to rectify the…
  • I got a pretty decent TR. Gear Score 12300, Crit 46%, Power 5000+, Armor Penetration 2200, Damage 9900. And I use the best powers to make as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time and yet, since the update/nerf whenever there is a half way decent GWF in the same party, I always end up second in the "Most…
  • This game would be so much better off without PvP. The problem is that it is fundamentally impossible to balance all classes for PvP. One class is specialized on crowd control, one on healing, one on soaking up damage, one on killing smaller monsters and one on dealing as much damage to a single, tough target as possible.…
  • The problem is that balancing the classes is pretty much a fundamental impossibility. A class like the TR that is meant to do as much damage as possible to a single, tough target HAS TO be better in PvP than a class like the CW that is meant to do crowd control, for example. If all the classes are balanced, meaning equally…
  • The server still seems to be down, patch or no patch.
  • Not everyone. I have won one of those things about 2 weeks ago and I have traded it in for a few Heroes and Adventurers because I already had a 110% speed mount. Not getting one (or a dozen) now doesn't phase me. Even if the people who won them now would get to keep them, their price would drop so much that I don't even…
  • Can someone with experience in this (I haven't been around for "Caturday", whatever that was.) make an educated guess on how long it might take till the server goes up again? Does it make sense to wait for it or is it better to come back tomorrow?
  • I hope so. I just wonder why they would delay Zen allocation if they'll do a rollback anyways. It isn't as if I'd have been able to cause any problems with that Zen, I mean.
  • I wanted to buy Zen, not for keys but to upgrade my companion so the XP I'd get for the new quests wouldn't be wasted, but "The transaction is currently in the review/approval process and will be completed shortly". They took my money but didn't give me any Zen!
  • In general you're right, but in this case the normal defensive boost (Defense, Deflect or HP) isn't really much use for my character, a TR. What you really want to push as much as possible with a Ioun Stone for a TR is Armor Penetration. My goal is to get my Stone to give me as much Armor Penetration as possible, so I can…
  • Neverwinter is a game that you learn from other players. The game itself, the tutorial and even the Wiki hardly tell you anything. Everything I know about the game I was told and explained by more experienced players. This game is so bafflingly ****ty at explaining itself that I have to assume it is so on purpose. So when…
  • It really is all about team work. I only play one character, a TR and I really shine or croak depending on how good the other party members do their job. My character does decent damage but is rather fragile. I can survive a boss without much help by the Cleric but when I constantly have to dodge it takes ages to kill the…
  • Thanks for the advise. I don't know how to do that (copying a character to a test server), but I'll surely find out.
