Not all, just a good chunk. Some people have been affected. Others may find alternately useful slotting/gearing. Some folks have stuff to work towards now. Others have reason to grind for alternate mods to sell. The tweak may not have been as worldbreaking as folks believed, but there has been a change, and some folks have…
Re: new content. When a good chunk of the player base needs to start farming from scratch for months on end in order to regear and respec from the bottom up... why make new content?
Note to self: try and convince all the players to pay for Vibora Bay for an early cash injection that might convince investors of the potential of a little game called CO before the poor thing comes to a sputtering stop, even though there was no conscionable reason to charge for it...
IMHO, anything having to do with silvers, golds or lifetimers is not worth posting about. Even this vet rewards for LTS thing is like a year late, showing that all the debating by players had almost no impact on the final decision to do it. Cryptic gonna do what Cryptic gonna do, players be damned. (more so if they…
I prolly shouldn't poke this bear, but this just almost made me absolutely lose it laughing (while my prof was talking about a child murdering another child).
Grant Morrison is a mary-sue loving hack. Agreed on most of everything else except the new costumes. The idea was good, the execution was poor; there's no need for all those lines. And very much so on the fanboys running the asylum at Marvel, which leads me to - I don't read Marvel or DC, only indie comics, because Marvel…
Three page long reply addressing several points brought up and completely missing similar, relevant arguments already rebuffed by better informed posters. Forced meme reference.
I disagree, I think it has a lot of potential for a unique story and environment, but it was used poorly and thrown together haphazardly. To be fair, there's no real basis for such a level used effectively; this was a first attempt that did a few things right, like forcing players to think about the Z axis, and vertical…
I skipped, but here's my problems with the zone. It's 3D so Cryptic just filled all 3Ds randomly with bad guys and whatever willy nilly. This means there's no theme to it like neighborhood gangs in MC, and it makes travel a pain in the **** because you can't see everything that might attack you and you end up fighting all…
Which is an entirely different problem altogether; one that is not tackled by this change. What about increasing the meaningfulness of offense and defense rating? What about making the +health bonuses actually worth something? Or +health recovery? The problem is not that dodge is too good, it's that that the entirety of…
lol no. Nobody ever said anything like that. Silly billy. You crazy kids and your imaginations... This isn't about improving mechanics, this is about fixing the horrible, game-breaking mistakes brought about by the gear, mod and spec tree overhauls so many Blood Moons ago. ...fix control... lol. No.
I was being general because of the myriad ways to mitigate and etc., but given you're quarry example (depending on power set and whatever) the amount of time required to heal back is almost minimal when compared to the damage output increase provided by quarry stacks (and whatever else). That was my point about powers not…
The problem with your argument is that it doesn't address the point itself - that the offensive passives are functioning in such a way as to outperform the defensive passives in their own element. I understand that you may not experience this, for whatever reason, but at the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that…
In my opinion, I agree with a lot of what you say, and despite that Wolverine is at times an enjoyable character. Personally, I didn't like him when he first debuted, and for a long time after because he's a walking caricature and cliche. But that's the bad writing, which is a huuuuuuuuuuuge problem for a lot of the X…
I skipped the last 2 pages but here's my opinion. The problem is one of ideology. There is one camp that believes that play should be accessible to all players, as should success in that play. There is another camp that believes in progressive challenge. I haven't played this alert yet, I probably will today, but it seems…
All that says CoX had better Devs, which I think is pretty fair to say even if we actually had some. But the mechanics etc are what make the game. Except, yeah, our level design could use some work. ETA: What powers this game is that Cryptic owns the property and it doesn't require much to keep it going since its all…
I'd spent over $300 on NW before it even launched. Why? Cuz there was **** worth buying. I currently have $70 worth of Zen in the CO store with nothing to spend it on. And I'd still buy an expansion pack for CO. But CO has nothing word buying. And probably wont.
I don't think CO needs to close, I think they just need to stop disappointing its players. If that means improving ****, improve ****, but more realistically, if that means just saying we're going into maintainance mode unless something changes, just be up front. Just say, "No, we don't have devs, but we want to keep this…
NW seems to be composed of 3 camps - those that will play it despite Cryptic because they want Neverwinter (not D&D), but still think Cryptic is almost completely worthless. Those that will play because Cryptic can do some stuff good, despite Cryptic being **** in everything else. Those that will play it completely…
Here's the thing, TT is a good guy, and he is in our corner, but that doesn't mean anything. I hate to say it, but he's about as powerless as we are. What's worse is for TT, Cryptic/PWE has made his word meaningless. It has no substance. He could promise the server would be live tomorrow and it would hold about as much…
I'm actually with Jon on this one. Regardless for the reason behind the outage, CO outages really aren't that bad, and few and far between. I get that the source of frustration is that "those darn neverwintians took all our servers!!! grrr!!!!" and I agree, mostly, but really, at the end of the day, being on the same…
With the money they're making, the just might. Ok, see, I was gonna make a joke about how Wesker looks like Stokan, but then I realized it wasn't really a joke... And what do you think really happened to Mess, Chat, Kruunch, Keystoneman, et al? Anyway, I say we follow Kenpo's idea (I think it was Kenpo) and just game-hop…
Aww... I just got home from work and I'm about to take a test... I won't be able to participate, but best wishes to TT and all the helpers out there helping today!
You're right, I forgot the front page also has a leaver thread, a Caliga thread, a PvP thread and three AngelofCaine threads, and then several complaint threads, and the Neverwinter ones only take up, like, a third. Vibrant chatter all around.
That's because you are a seductress of unmatched wiles. They had no chance. Either way, it seems I may have been incorrect, as there are, surprisngly, some players making their way over. CO may actually have a chance. My negativity has gotten us this far, however, so I'm not gonna change my lucky stripes. 10 people won't…
HAH! No. That didn't work with STO, and it won't work with NW. No that won't happen and here's why - most everyone playing Neverwinter is there to play Neverwinter Nights 3 or Dungeons and Dragons. They could give a **** less about Cryptic other than to ***** about how useless Cryptic is at making Neverwinter Nights 3 or…
If that number is correct (20k) then that means that NW has made at least $1,200,220 (because I know for a fact I bought all 3 packs) before open beta even started. Assuming that number is inflated x10 that's still over $120,000 before open beta even started.
Judge by how many Drow, panthers, Spider mounts, black armored horses and Dire Wolves you see running around. Judge by how often you see the "So-And-So has just unlocked a Nightmare" popups in your chat window.
