ACT OR ALIKE PROGRAM PROVIDED NON THRID PARTY.

Many players including myself would love a program that shows what is going on ACTUALLY with our character. A detailed over all break down of just our character. Maybe make a site a that imports our character to it so we can min and max our character, and give us the option to slot different gear, gems, and etc in see to whats more effective provided by Arc or some NW partner perhaps. PC has had many forums of such a program why cant Consoles?

Yeah it would be nice. They won't bother though.

alliera7311

Enough people want it they might.

Heh, you can probably judge by my post count that I've used the forums for quite a while. I've seen protests and requests gather a good amount of support only to wither and die in the face of being completely ignored by the developers.

Very occasionally they'll run with an idea if it's simple enough (e.g. the LM set exchange vendor) but usually the only time they pull their finger out and actually do something is when it's costing them money (e.g. bank bug in shores and lostmauth).

This is actually not the first time players have asked for ACT on XBox - the idea is popular but there is no benefit to Cryptic other than customer satisfaction (v. low on their priorities) They use the PC version for feedback - they not only have ACT, they also have preview servers and the devs sometimes participate in discussions there (sometimes) - that gives them all the info they desire so working on one for xbox would be superfluous to them.

Well take the new que the system for example they listened to us on that.

That was mostly because the company wanted to get into expanded party sizes for some dungeon formats - the feedback regarding Tiamat, Gauntlegrim etc was louder on the PC side than it was xbox.

As this was a direction the company wanted to move in (as we see with edemo) it was something of a necessity for them. The lack of ACT only negatively impacts xbox player experience to some degree and is not a multi-platform issue.

I hope I'm wrong, I would certainly make use of it.

I would so love to have ACT on the Xbox... It would bring me back into the game again like brand new, so many things to test on my HR

Very doubtful though anything like this will happen

Considering NW is a game that many take seriously*, fine tuning builds etc, it's just plain stupid that there's no ACT in the XBOX version. Honestly, it's hard to say if a character is working properly or not, if boons stop working, etc.

* Personally i find it hard to take this game seriously. NW on the XBOX is a low fps dysfunctional mess and the devs obviously don't listen to anything we say.

If they did make a tool for Xbox they would likely make a ton of money from respec's and regears.

alliera7311

Oh my yeah that is very true. Perhaps that would make them consider it.

ACT is a third party program available on PC, it was not provided by the developers, but as it does not alter or modify the game in any way, it is permitted. The PC was never provided with tools like it by the developers and as of such, its unlikely they will provide those tools to xbox players. It is sad for you I know, since there isn't really any hope of a third party developing something like it for xbox.
