Only 100k rad to refine per account??

tholther

Is this true or is this a bug? I noticed since a few days that I can only refine 100k rad on my account. If this is true I think I am going to think seriously about quitting the game.

Also since short (maybe at the same time) I can only get the daily rewards from the random quests with 1 character, and now this?

What's the purpose of this? Do they want me to play only with 1 character?

Maybe you use the search function next time?
Feel free to write your thoughts about the refine ADs in this thread:

Those changes are a pretty big improvement, IMO. I am now seeing way fewer undergeared alts just running mindlessly through random queues - so yes, the changes encourage people to focus on their main (or at least "better geared") alts, and IMO that's a good thing.

Now, if you were one of those players who thought the purpose of the game was to farm AD with an army of alts, yeah - you will have to think differently - like focusing on making AD through the AH.

I kind-of suspect the developers wanted to discourage the "alt armies" because the players running those were probably not buying much (if any) Zen, so even if they quit, it will not have a significant effect.

Thank you for your answers.

First of all, Spidey, I have a life so I dont have much time to search around.

Second, @ adinosii, I dont see any improvement at all on getting less rad's. Probably some players (like you?) with millions and millions of rad's dont get affected by that measures. But for ppl like me with few rad's it's a disaster.
If the developers are focusing ONLY on ppl who buy lots of zen, then that would be a big mistake. Why? Because then the game would become rather deserted, And games with low population do not survive.

You really need to be more proactive with the community and pay close attention to the forums. I have 8 characters and play them all and have no issue with acquiring AD. As for the purpose, that should be obvious, there has been players with ALT armies of 30 characters harvesting AD and converting it into Zen. I am a retired and disable person with more than ample time to play this game a few hours a day. However, how does one person play 30 characters in a 24 hour day? Unless they are dying from renal failure from all the RedBull ™ they had to drink, they must be a machine.

Go ahead and stop playing, I get 3 million a month from the RAD, but I make more of my AD from sales in the auction house. Neverwinter is a game, not a job, unless you are an employee of Cryptic. I have fun playing this game and I know others do too. IF Cryptic pulled the ZAX out tomorrow and said no more conversion of AD and Zen, I would continue to play.

I also want thank all the players who make Zen purchases with cash, people playing the game for free don't seem to realize the truth about them. The ones you call "whales" are the ones who keep the servers up and running and pay to keep this game alive. They are the real heroes of Neverwinter.

Understand. It takes so long to search a thread that was opened at the 10th of may. Sure. Its better to open a new thread instead of joining an existing thread. Sry for saying you should use search function.
Feel free to open any new topic. No matter how often or how long there are threads with the same topic.

Disaster? My point is that if you only make AD is from farming rAD, your income will be quite limited - you need to consider other routes - some of which are more profitable.

After all, this is a RPG, not a farming sim.

Another thread on RAD changes? I'd understand a bit if this was on the xbone or ps4 forums. But cmon, how long has mod 14 been out on pc? There aren't already a ton of threads on this topic already?

Does it matter? You are more or less quit the game (or the cap had no effect to you) when it took you so long to find out the rAD refinement cap. There were tons of discussion about this top since at least one month BEFORE this was implemented.
