It's rather unfortunate in my opinion so many people would like to roleplay in a game based off of a game that is commonly criticized for reducing the opportunity for quality roleplay, instead of them playing that game. I can definitely understand the appeal of an RP server in a game that doesn't have it's own roleplaying…
>Complain about 'MMO Nerds' >Want a server for Role Playing (Totally not for nerds at all) There isn't a roleplay server because I would assume it is a safe assumption that anyone who wants to roleplay a D&D game would use D&D for that, and not a video game.
I'm sorry, as much as I like 4E for the hacky-slashy fun D&D was designed for this is purely untrue. Why do you think classes in 4E are divided up into roles like Defender/Striker/Controller/Leader? They line up nicely with classic MMO roles of Tank/DPS/Disabler/Healer. Sure they're not copy and paste, but to say 4E took…
When you start taking money from customers that isn't in a 'preorder' form, you have launched your game. 'Open beta' is just F2P code for 'hey guys we released this game, there are going to be bugs, but give us money mmmmk?'.
I don't know what kind of sense of 'power' you have but... Stats? Sure, that is power by definition. But where can you directly buy stats for Zen? I mean sure, you could make a contrived argument about the lockboxs and eventually the Ioun stone providing additional 'stats', but that would be kind of a weird argument to…
Bags? You know, I only have the first extra bag, and I have yet to run out of room unless I do something silly, like running into PE and back out without selling. Mounts? I am pretty sure I won't ever buy one, the game's world is small enough from what I've seen that there is no reason to really want to go 'faster',…
I'm pretty sure a GF can block 'anything'. Just the other day I jumped onto a trap and got into blocking stance before it could trigger. Blocked it. What trap was it? Spikes coming up out of the floor. Didn't make any sense but it was funny. The combat is supposed to make you sit in place, and honestly if they changed it…
I am sure you are aware, but it doesn't cost you real money to respec, just someone else. If you do not want to spend money you just go for ADs like I mentioned, or make a new character like aftershafter mentioned. Making it cost Gold will make it either insanely easy to pay for, or the only thing you want to spend money…
That sounds more like an issue with the way the power system is structured (The fact you have to spend power points to initially unlock a skill) and less of an issue inherent in the way respecing works. To remedy that specific situation I would suggest Cryptic looks at how many powers at level 3/2 they want us to have,…
