That they go cross eyed the moment you dumb down things for them to the point of taking away all the choices? Because from what I've seen so far there's nothing TO learn. They've already done all the learning for you. All you have to do is pick the class they've already build for you, and play it how they want you to play…

*oops double post* :p

I agree with most here. Control Wizard feels a bit weak and not very controll-y. You have to devote your entire effort to keeping just ONE target held for a limited amount of time, while the rest of the mobs just pound on you while you're doing nothing that would improve your tactical situation in any way. You're better…

You're still not addressing the point that this feature is not inclusive of all possible (or even a significant amount of) character backgrounds and deities--even if they limit themselves to just what can be found in the Realms--and that it is unrealistic to expect for the devs to ever include anything that's even…
-
Neither of these options should affect gameplay because neither of them can be exhaustive and inclusive of every character background or deity. The devs can't possibly come up with every background/origin or an exhaustive list of D&D deities and many of us will be forced to pick one that doesn't fit our characters just to…

Even in the US there are people that don't make $200 a day. Posters that make comments like "$200 aren't much" are just speaking about their own circumstances and views on the worth of money like they apply to everyone else. I know people that make more than $200 a day that would never say "$200 aren't much". The reality…

There's at least two options missing from the poll: - Appearance Customization - i.e. work on armor/clothing appearance, farm for dyes and costume unlocks, etc. (which granted, its highly disappointing in NWO compared to other Cryptic titles but still an option and element in the game) - PvP Dueling (preferably with a mass…

Of course I'll be playing an elf... of the drow variety ;) Seriously, though, I always play elves of every kind (except half-elves :p) more than any other race. One of my recurring alts is a nymph/dryad themed elf druidess, and I also tend to make my ninja themed toon an elf (but might consider human as well). I might also…
-
Because those are classic/iconic races that have been the staple of the fantasy genre since its very inception, while dragonborn didn't show up till D&D 4e and were shoehorned in there just to appease people that wanted to play dragons. /trollface PS: Though, if by "so many...elf like races" you mean drow... those should…
-
Both of these statements are ridiculous ideas that misrepresent both sides of the issue. I voted yes, regardless because I support different playstyles and believe that dispite (some) calls to the contrary: 1) Including PvP won't take the massive development resources some like to believe that it would. 2) PvP can be a…
-
I disagree. The fact that this is an MMO changes that entirely, because it just isn't the same platform and uses the Cryptic Engine instead of actual D&D system/rules. Its even made specifically to be an "action MMO" to appeal to a broader, non-D&D audience, so the target audience is being ignored regardless and the focus…
-
Because the people saying so don't like it and don't participate in it, therefore getting rid of it entirely doesn't affect them personally. Plus they can use it as a scapegoat for perceived wrongs while they're at to make it sound like they're bringing about positive change rather than just enforcing their prejudices and…
-
I agree with the original OP about group based PvE content. I don't necessarily say this because I'm a huge fan of group content--in fact I tend to solo in MMO's a lot--but being able to do everything entirely on your own has never been what D&D is about. D&D has always been about characters working together to achieve…

Thanks. Patching already...

Drow... and not a Drizzt clone *points to avatar* Alternately, I may try elf if I can pick white hair and dark skin*. *I always made her skin brown, anyways, much the the dismay people that say that "drow are snurfs, not brownies" (plenty of them used to be brownies in early dark elf art, back when I made the first version…

Thanks, I will try to download once I get home from work tonight. How do you download? "Access Beta" link at the site's main page?

I'm a CO LTS'er (CO/STO LTS'ers are supposed to be eligible for beta this weekend: March 8-10) and I've yet to receive an email.

I wouldn't say that people wouldn't buy them. What I think would happen is that there would be a massive fallout from all the people complaining that Cryptic was suddenly selling drow after they "promissed" them that they would be in for free, plus all the people that bought HotN pack only to get some sort of drow access…
-
It isn't. Its just a way to make people that revel in having things others don't feel special while simultaneously not giving them anything special since not even them are getting access to normal drow till 2 months after launch. They're only getting access to their exclusive variant of the race, which no one else was…
-
Pretty much this^ Though, the question then becomes: Are "pets" in NWO like henchmen and cohorts in old D&D? Or are they more like typical pet-class "pets"? Also, you could get or hire more than one henchmen in D&D. They'd just be lining up in a tavern waiting for adventurers willing to spare the coin in exchange for their…
-
IMO if it wasn't a cash grab they'd be adding more things to the HotN pack to make it a more attractive purchase, rather than taking things away from those that don't buy it to make not getting it the unattractive option. EDIT/PS: And I'd be willing to buy the race if it was sold individually, but I'm not willing to blow…
-
A campaign world/setting created and controlled by a DM with their own established rules or guidelines is a different thing than an open game that caters to a wide range of players from different demographics, including people that don't even RP, as well as people that do RP but have to bring their own stories and input…
-
Tell me where in the HotN pack description it says that it includes 60 day exclusive access to the vanilla drow race starting at launch and quote at least ONE poster, just one (fmstalker is actually implying that everyone that's complaining is included in this but I'll let that slide), that said that they wanted…
-
You're right, we don't care (or at least I don't :p) how much money you spent. And we didn't ask Cryptic to make this game free or hand out the drow race for free either, and I can't remember a single post stating that they wanted anything in any of the Founder's Packs for free, but you're free to quote me anyone that said…
-
I don't mean to pile but part of the problem with the poll is that the one "positive" answer was not even a positive one. "No, I will be spending the same as I planned on." could mean anything. If you were already on your guard about spending money or intended to buy stuff only on a case by case basis it could still apply…
-
Personally, I'd go with option 4 if I was in the OP's situation. Some people like to tell others how to RP, but generally speaking that is on extremely bad taste, and unless we're talking metagaming, godmodding or something of the like people should worry about their own RP rather than tell other people how to RP their…
-
I agree. Though, those can be added as cosmetic items at least, along with some generic symbols for character's whose gods still don't have a symbol. But letting us fill in our own god removes the issue of the devs not being able to add each possible god, then work on a symbol for each to use as an icon on the selection…
-
Corellon is a universal elf deity. I'm pretty sure the poster was refering to a drow specific deity, like Lolth or Eilistraee* *I REFUSE to accept her supposed demise in 4e :p PS: I mentioned this in another thread about gods, but they should just let us write our character's god (if any) and background info. Gods and…

My appologies for jumping into the thread and adding fuel into the fire. I just wanted to point out that... ...and...
