I loved reading this, and feel a lot better about where the game is headed. Instead of wondering if anything will be done, I now have an idea of what's to come. Please keep these posts coming! Once every 3-4 months would be perfect.
I don't think it's as simple as stopping a timer. The times are probably based on the system time of the server, so unless they changed the date on the server to yesterday (thus creating way more severe problems), there's nothing they could do to save them.
I'm so upset about this issue. Not being able to go back and do skirmishes has me missing out on 3 titles, due to out-leveling the queue (which isn't a big level range to begin with). I've also out-leveled zones and no longer see quests, so I cannot get quest-related achievements either. I'm in the same boat as you, if I…
I guess what I can add, is that one of my frustrations as melee is the ranged attackers using knockbacks that force me to move and re-position myself before I can continue fighting. It makes the encounters longer because DPS is interrupted. To put it in a nicer way, be mindful of knockback skills, because they interrupt…
Not sure if which category this might go in, but does it make sense to put something in about rolling/dodging with the shift key? It's definitely key in positioning and "staying out of the red stuff". Er, never mind, I see it's there now.
I will be doing the opposite. Rogue as main and cleric as alt. It's weird for me because my main has been a healer in every MMO that has healers. I just found the combat to feel too clunky as compared to the rogue.
I'm ok with it. I picked a rogue because I enjoy the frantic combat and it feels smoother than the other classes. What it may lack in damage I will have to make up for in skill ;)
I also bought both packs (actually I got the $20 too because my OCD got the best of me). You have to decide for yourself if it's worth it. You'll find a lot of threads bashing the usefulness/value of the pack, but you need to take a look at what you get and decide if it is worth the money to you. You won't find many…
I don't think I implied that people would be buying the service, only that there will be people on day 1 advertising it, and the advertisement is what we are discussing here.
That's the system as I understand it. Gold Selling may not be a big thing here, because anything AD related can be purchased legitimately, so people trying to be shady are also missing some screws here. I can see a market for selling items though. I've seen some sites that sell gold/leveling services/items for sale. I…
You are being a stick in the mud, yes. It's alright for you to dislike the F2P model. You don't have to participate in what you perceive as gimmicks. Cryptic isn't trying to hide anything from us. They are very upfront about what costs real money and what you can get in game for free. This is a business, not a charity. If…
Ditto on spell checking. I'm really looking forward to the professions, and will probably spend the weekend trying them all out. If I get bored with that, I'll continue leveling progress on my rogue just to get an idea of what's out there I haven't seen yet. I've already played all the classes, though not to a high level…
Yes, I know beta testers used to be paid. I also know that this is not how it's done anymore, so that fact is irrelevant here. If enough hype is generated for a game, people will pay to get a first look. Closed beta isn't open to everyone, so only privileged people (those who pay) get access. It's totally within your right…
Nice video! It would have been cool to see you go through the feat points in a little more detail (mouse-over which ones you chose), but it was well formatted and thought out.
See this thread for more information. You are not the only person who's not getting the emails. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?123641-E-Mail-Issue-Not-Receiving-BW4-Emails-gt-Post-Here!-lt
You can't really expect them to. The people that sign their paychecks make the decisions for them. They can't predict what the market for this game is going to be like 5 years from now, or even in 6 months. Even if upper management makes the call, those calls change. That's just the way the world works. You gotta remember,…
Of course it's p2p in closed beta. Nowadays it's considered a privilege to participate, and one that people are willing to pay for. Closed beta participation is not a requirement to play the game, which is free for everyone on the 30th. If you don't want to pay anything, you don't have to. But wanting to have access to the…
Unless you have purchased one of the founder's pack which give you access, I'm afraid you won't be able to log in for this weekend. There are no sites that I'm aware of that are giving away keys.
