saddened by another "update" that removes content. I didn't use gateway much, but I enjoy it when I can't get to a computer, and SCA gave my 4 stabled gold companions a reason for being ... those 4 stabled gold companions are gonna be so upset when they hear :'( Lately, I don't enjoy playing the game so much anyway, I play…

When I started playing, I thought the dungeons were the jewels of the game, dungeons and gear sets were the reason to keep playing. Especially CN, sure, some were long, but the environments and the optional content (and the rewards) were great. I thought there was a great balance -- for a while. The game still looks great,…
-
I think this is a very positive move :) If you have GMoP and are so lucky as to have a R11, upgrade that before the change to avoid a big loss in value of the GMoPs! After the changes, 0.96GMoP per day with 24k refined is pretty darn good, should allow much better progress on artifacts for alts! Hope you guys have plans…
-
I say, that the AD:Zen rate is set on buyers and sellers. If nobody is transferring Zens into the game, and anybody with any foresight already sold theirs at 500AD:Zen ... then the seemingly high rate can be explained by nobody willing to transfer zens into the game. Sure, some are late to the party so there are still…
-
Ok Mr. Know it all... then explain to me how people are supposed to afford dozens of GMoP, companion upgrades, and several other AD sinks now then? Please, note the following: Nah, they're not fixing things, 'cause bots
-
+1 Yeah, NUKE the whole thing it and credit accounts with anything transferred in / purchased from PWE. THAT would hurt the bots for sure!
-
Sick of the thought of paying an arm and a leg? Maybe just give 'em the finger! ..|..
-
in addition to being a "founder" spending $200 on the game before it launched ... and older tansactions prior to 2014 are not shown Dude ... that's a LOT of money for a F2P game ... oh, and I've played a LOT of hours in the game too, probably at par with the monitary contributions (at what I expect is CRYPTIC's time:AD…
-
Reasons? Bots of course!
-
The big issue with the nerf that I don't see commented on much is that we can no longer earn ADs in parallel, but can only get ADs on one toon at a time. So even for a player with two characters, it is HUGE nerf (up to 50% ADs generated assuming they used leadership) ... if only one character, probably not noticeable.
-
The GOOD: This would encourage more play on alt characters. The BAD: That means equipping 3 or more characters. The UGLY: Three characters maxed out is very near 1 BILLION AD 1,000,000,000 ADs earned at 16k/hr .... or 7.134 YEARS CONTINUOUS PLAY **OR*** 2,000,000 Zens / $20,000 USD ... Yeah ... sounds about FREE TO PLAY…
-
hmm .. now if they added BOA GMoPs for leadership boxes ... that would actually not be so bad
-
I think this AD ting is a Cryptic / PWE management issue ... I don't think devs have much say in the direction of the game. All the developers / programmers should be accountable for is poor coding and testing.
-
Oh! and as I run professions on my toons I notice one of the guild messages ... been there since about MOD 5 actually. Still seems apt: [Guild] MotD: I miss you guys :( send me a mail if you come back
-
How can it be about bots? If it was about bots one would expect to see explanations for how the "bot" accounts will be identified and dealt with. Professions have always been in important part of the game, I tried to avoid them for a while, but with professions required for rings, black ice gear ADs, events and those…
-
I bet lots will not even notice until the change is live ... expect a bunch more interest in this thread next week.
-
Nope, straight up design and purpose there, it is because there is a 25% discount on Bazaar items for 12 month VIP. Buying at 75k and selling at 84k nets a slight profit! still ... if you currently need 121 GMoP ... probably better to buy the VIP!!
-
there was the elemental artifact equipment on Bazaar to help test with prior module ... it is likely still there ... but that is just the test server, it has not been [on the Bazaar] on the production server. PS. "Funny" to look back on it; There was so much aggro generated from the players by the release, there was [at…
-
Explain better how this is intended to hurt bots! Leadership literally takes months to level (level 23 after 220 days ... that's maybe 10 months for rank 25). Is the argument that Cryptic can not reasonably identify suspected bot accounts within several months of account activity? If the bots are so simple as to log into…
-
I liquidated my Zens because I expect a crash on the market, like Scott said, the goal is to "fix" the economy ... since I don't see how this does anything to adjust the prices of rank 4s (except down as the bots likely become more focused on the enchants). The removal of ADs from leadership seems to be precision targeted…
-
professions bound to account is not so bad, I expect bind character [upgraded rings already are]
-
I think that's a great idea ... VIP is great and we know the bots will have it anyway ... so unless this [change to leadership] is explicitly against the non-bot community ... I don't see much drawback
-
I think it was more intended as: *people should feel like they can support alts* (NOT to indicate leadership will continue to be a viable way to do so). Account bound artifacts may be a good way to start.
-
I don't think the AD change is bad for bots, seems it should be good for them Seems to me that increased value of AD increases the value of their accounts ... and re-sellers would be able to get even more sales if peeps get desperate for ADs. (1) if Zens are worth less than 500 AD it is *not* good for folks putting money…
-
I really like being able to support a main character from professions alts ... seemed that was the major selling point to spend time playing the game. This is definitely serious disappointment after investing so many months ranking leadership alts to see such a severe and not entirely expected nerf. I like the game and I…

Back to normal toady for me (in Michigan) I hope that is a good sign if you are still ahving issues, Guildie in PA is still having issues :(
-
Thanks Zebular, good to see it is a serious issue for the IT team! Thank you for posting the updates even when there may not be much new information.
-
Well, for those of us affected, it is a serious problem. Really .. I don't know how many, but if there are a "good number" then, it should be important. Thanks. As far as a work around, VPN through California is a huge improvement. Since I care about my network connectivity, I do have a backup plan (VPN) to mitigate this…
-
Seems better for me, not completely normal, but I don't need to use proxies anymore. No noticeable changes to the tracert
-
I am not having a client issue (I did a force verify to make sure) this is a regional network issue. this is the trace with an unplayable conneciton This is the trace for a playable, but high latency due to VPN Seems from these that the issue could be before the Boston server…
