So, called it on the Thank You packs. (or whatever they want to call it)

Yep, not a single bag, respec token or even Lockbox Key in site. Just a bunch of cosmetic and semi-useful stuff. I guess that's about all I've come to expect from PWE/Cryptic...

Some people lost a LOT (not me though) in the rollback, for an exploit that wasn't even their fault and should have been detected in Closed Beta. They deserve more. Even if you can't give them that more (for whatever reason) it should be acknowledged that the players don't deserve this sort of treatment.

Anyway, I said most of what I wanted to say in the other thread, so I'm out for now.

    So why make a second thread about the same thing?

    Meanwhile 91 people (at least) die in a tornado and you complain about some virtual meaningless <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in a video game. Get some perspective.

    The Gateway wasn't active for most of Closed Beta, so it would have been very difficult to detect something that didn't exist.

    Yes, this really needed a new thread. You sound like an entitled brat with your line about how it didn't effect you, but you are still whining about not getting more free stuff (under the guise of being a White Knight for those who did lose more). This is pathetic, and I hope they take this thread down.

    So, you're upset that the virtual goods aren't the virtual goods you wanted?
    Bet you were fun to be around at christmas and birthdays.....

    Regardless, *I* think it's a pretty good pack. They obviously weren't going to pillage the top stuff from the cash shop, and the items they've included seem useful or fun to me.

    Beats nothing, that's for sure.

    I lost 21 days of progress on celestial coins which included a coalescent ward. Screw it though, I don't really care. This game is pretty much done.

    Celestial Coins have a maximum of 7 at a due time. Unless you're talking about alts...

    I didn't lose any coins from any of my characters, it sounds like many people logged late.

    How did you manage that? You can only have 7 celestial coins before they are reset to 0 whether you spend them or not.

    You're telling me that it's very difficult to make sure that you can't bid negative numbers before you release a ****ing auction house to the public?

    This is not a news or disaster forum. Everyone feels pain for the people who lost thier lives, but this forum is for neverwinder discussion.

    Would have been easier to have the database flag accounts that trip a certain amount of currency. It's clearly not possible to amass 100m AD in the time the game has been running so why not have a human being look at the transactions of accounts that showed such a thing happening?

    Cryptic should focus on fixing game bugs so that we can log back into the game instead of these digital gift boxes...

    Neverwinter is in Open Beta and it is EXPECTED to find bugs and game imbalances which is the entire point of having this test so that they are fixed before the game is released. I can not understand why people are having such difficulty understanding this simple concept... /shrug

    Being intelligent, I realized you could level alts to level 11 and get coins on them. Being stupid, I failed to realize all of the exploits in the game and how they would effect me.

    I'm not sure what you mean by logging in late. I woke up, logged in to do my daily praying, and logged out. The game was out all day and when I was able to log in yesterday morning, it was all gone.

    As I said though, game is done for a majority of people anyway. You niche game players can enjoy your exploits for as long as you like though.

    They definitely should've passed out 7 Celestial Coins since the roll-back and downtime cost people their coins.

    Can we just wait to see if the "couple other items" include celestial coin items?
    Suggestion: Thank-you package to include Celestial Coin rewards
    This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.

    I've never exploited in this game and I won't. That's for sure. I also lost crafting progresion, 5 levels in my second character and a few more things. And I already got them back.

    If losing some coins is enough to make you quit the game... Well, I hope you're ready for RL, because you're going to face some tough things. :)

    They don't have to give us anything. It's beta. Why do people have to be so ungrateful when they are given something they didn't have before. It's a freaking game! If you don't like it leave!

    Yeah, no. Servers have been full as ever since the roll back. Does pretending that the game is dead somehow make you feel better?

    Well good! Personally I'm the last of my friends still playing. They laughed at me and the exploit situation on mumble yesterday.

    The gameplay is solid, the exploits and customer service are the worst in the industry.

    The place hit is actually not all that far from me, and I know people even closer. I am very sad for the people affected by this. And I hope they find the strength to grieve and overcome. But this is not the place or time to rub it in people's faces. Please come up with something less heartbreaking to bash on people with.

    Yes, that is what this generation of players want. Blood. If they do not get their shiny digital shiny objects they want the blood of the people that denied them those objects. These objects are apparently all these people care about.
