A Few Disapointments

calis17

I have to air some of my frustration with cryptic.

First: I am a member now for a month and cannot post new threats? If that is the short probationary period? LOLOLOL

Second: Update time for new patch: an estimated millenia (29 MB in about 30 minutes). I guess people are not buying enough Zen for a decent bandwidth. And no, it is not my system, I got a 100 Mbit/sec connection, which works fine.

Third: After the change of the binding rules during the last event, without any announcment (first the companion bound on equip, then on pickup, as with everything else offered during the event), I do not expect any good events atm. Why am I still playing and even buying Zen? Because I like the general idea of the game, but cryptic is not making it easy....

Calis17, sarcasm which is leaning on the snide side is not advisable. Very borderline on the rules. Try to be more respectful in the future.

1) The probation starts when you first log onto the forums; not when you make an account. Even I, as a moderator, end up with a probation period if I go to another PWE game's forums for the first time.

2) Update times vary and any gamer should know that the update times are worst just after the patch. It took me 10 minutes to patch shortly after the servers went down but most times I download gigabytes in patches within 5-10 minutes.

3) There was no change to those rules. All BoE companions from CTA's and Skirmish based events came from chest drops. The stores always sold BoP companions which was an addition due to feedback about RNG drops. On top of that it is clearly stated right in the store whether items are BoP or BoE. I do not see a need for a big banner billboard saying when things are BoE or BoP.

I literally see some complaint like this every event when somebody fails to read before they act but the voices of the community, not the developers, will typically say everything is clearly marked.


In the future you can PM the moderators if you want to make your own thread.
Please do not hijack another thread.

Thanks for moving this to a new thread. Since it was an event discussion and I had no other way at that time I saw no other option.

Also thanks for clearing up the misconception about the last event. I did not know that and during the event did not find any reference to it either, even though I was looking.

As for the patches. It is nice to know that you had no trouble, but that is neither helping, nor the issue. After restaring the game client it is working fine now. Maybe that is good advise for people who encounter the same problem in future (no disrespect intended)
