Server Down Again After Maintenence? People Making Threats In Zone Chat

xnxn7xxnxn7x Member Posts: 22 Arc User
Just wondering why all of neverwinter just got booted off the server? Theres no warning or post from admins!
Did we miss something? And people in chat are spamming we are going to boot and loot everyone now on purpose so that they can kick until there dungeon is locked. That is pretty crappy and now the dungeons are going to even be worst off then before.

I vote for a new vote kick option again!

    Good question, I got the boot too.

    People are maybe making a stand in game due to the fact the devs are doing nothing to stop the loot booting from happening, the more I read the more I understand the devs literally do not care, they do what they think is right not what the players constantly tell them needs changing!

    I hope players do start destroying more and more dungeons and skirmishes even if that means i get booted even more then hopefully the devs will pulls there heads out of their butts and solve this issue correctly instead of that pathetic attempt in the upcoming update which does nothing but cause even more issues for the game, clueless!

    I find it very funny that mods read these posts and move them or delete them but NEVER seem to actually help with any of the issues regarding this matter!

    Madness, a game being destroyed by the incompetence of the devs or decision makers!

    That's part of the problem, the fix as announced doesn't appear to address any of the actual issues with the vote to kick system. In fact on paper it looks like more problems will be created.

    The only fixes coming to VTK according to the announcement are as follows. Any role that gets kicked will only be replaced by another player within that role (dps,heal or tank). Kicks may not be initiated until 3 minutes after a dungeon has been initiated. After a certain number of kicks the system will stop allowing more players to queue into your party.

    There is no mention of fixing boot and loot in this announcement. You are still going to be free to kick someone at the boss whether it be before, during or after the boss has been started.

    This also adds in a new reason to kick and which is short manning dungeons. There have been just as many requests for the ability to short man a dungeon as there were boot and loots. Being able to kick people until it stops people from being able to join will allow over geared players to short man dungeon to farm epics. (this will become a new reason to actually kick players instead of fixing the kick issue.)


    The only thing this did to remotely fix any of the VTK issues was that it now takes 3 minutes after joining the dungeon before a kick can be initiated. The problem with this is that 3 minutes isn't even time to get to the first boss which means that players who were getting kicked immediately before and only wasting a few seconds of their time will be forced to waste 3 minutes only to find out they were going to be kicked from the start anyway. This just prolongs the inevitable meaning players are wasting more time.


    Not a single part of the announcement that was made actually addressed any of the complaints. At the very least it actually gave a new reason for players to kick and is going to cause players to waste more time in dungeons before getting kicked while still having to worry about boot and loot.

    ^ This...
    You can count on Epic PK to consist of 3 people kicking until it locks, and then grabbing everything for themselves...
