This is the key. I think they realized that we had too much time to bank up trade bars before the change since we knew what was coming, and they didn't want us to be able to upgrade everything we have on day 1. They want us to spend some of the bars we have on other stuff and they'll add them back in after we're depleted.

How far in advance did PC know about their changes? I'm sure they didn't have months to bank up their bars in anticipation for this.

Not spending another cent on this game if this is how this company will conduct their business. Way to burn all the goodwill you've been establishing.

Btw this is towards PW not you Strumslinger

No point in playing the game anymore. This scam will destroy the playerbase on Xbox. What good is an MMORPG without other players?

Your company's priorities are f-d up. Instead of focusing on creating a game that is entertaining enough to sustain a long-term playerbase and grow revenues though that, they've decided to focus on short-term money-grab scams like this which enrage long-term players which are the core of the game's playerbase.

I'm sure your numbers will look good this quarter thanks to the scam, PWE, but next quarter prepare to take a big hit. Nobody is buying this sht anymore.

As some of you have noticed, there are a few differences between the Tarmalune Trade Bar Store on PC and Xbox. In particular, the Wards and Gems tab does not include Blood Rubies, Preservation Wards, or Coalescent Wards. We just wanted to let you know that this is intentional. Though they may show up at some point in the future, they are not supposed to be there with the launch of Neverwinter: Underdark on Xbox One.

As a reminder, these are different platforms and environments, each with a different history and economy. Though we are constantly trying to get all versions of NW on all platforms to line up, there shouldn’t be an expectation of exact parity between multiple platforms.

Bull. And you know it. Sadly, it's your job to be our vocal punching bag. Reasons? Explanation? Why no parity?

I hope they pay Andy well for what he does as they just hung him out to dry along with the player base.

Rumours in Enclave they are bringing them in tomorrow I will believe it when Andy posts that on here until then it's just trolling the player base imho

Am I mistaken, I thought Coalescent ward were to be available for 75 tb with the new update? They have been removed from the Trade Bar store completely. What are everyones thoughts?

gator3950 · February 2016

I guess when greed overcomes providing a customer based valued game, this is what you get. See no point in spending any more money on this game. Should have known an MMO would do such a thing.

thelastdon · February 2016

Are you serious?! So you straight up LIED!? I spent money on enchanted keys so I could save up trade bars so I could buy coalescent wards! Now they are worthless to me! You specifically said Coalescent wards were going to be 85 trade bars! That's it I'm done with this game!

spelldazer · February 2016

Personally, I am not spending a single coin on the game until they fix the trade bar store.

shazza53 · February 2016

I'm sorry Andy. I think you have been a big help to the game. But I hope the statements in your post are not your own. Nonsense about not expecting parity, when everything you guys have said indicates you want us to get there.

How disappointing for PW to ruin what should have been a very fun and exciting day for us on the Xbox version of the game.

Good news is, we now have Double RP announced for Feb 18th. That'll be fun, with $10 coal wards. Oh, too bad about losing double AD, Enchants, and Runestones, AND double XP for next weekend. Yeah, sure glad I've been saving all my keys ...

So sad ...

thelastdon · February 2016

So these guys lied to us when they said Coalescent Wards would be dropped to 85 trade bars. Now you can't even get them in the trade bar store. Unbelievable. Maybe you should quit spending money on R.A. Salvatore to write a story any middle-schooler could write and instead do what you say. Wow, vampires! How original!

OMG you idiots, why the hell did you remove C wards, rubies and pres wards.
This is borderline "fraud"

After the BS stunt you pulled last time with Gmops and now this, I think I'm going to MS to report your actions.

BTW, wait till people realize they pulled 2x AD off the table for this weekend too. OMG grab your pitchfork people!!!
(why do we even have a calendar for anyway when you do this kind of stuff)

"XBOX turnoff"

Sorry had to come back and point out what they put up on the Calendar instead of 2xAD this weekend,
Yep you guessed it 2xRP, where all us players need C wards.
Talk about a last kick in the nuts to finish us off....GG PWE

I don't think the calendar is complete at the moment. double refinement is next weekend not this weekend. nothing is listed for this weekend. and far less is listed than normal for the upcoming weekends. I'm sure it will be normal.

Funny that they would announce this while simuntaneously pulling Coals form the TB store.

Wow. PC here- I really hope they reconsider or at least put them back for the previous price.
How awful

I did check their patch notes and they say "this blog is for PC there may be differences in XBOX" but come on... a difference is the pricing is different, not that they pull items OUT. Really disgusted on your behalf right now.

zukn75 · February 2016

PC user sympathizing with your plight, this is a particularly low,misleading and duplicitous decision.

xwildgoosechase · February 2016

This is fraud. How much money did you make off misleading your customers?

snoborder101 · February 2016

This is low, even for pw. This company is going to be looking at multiple class action lawsuits here soon. Once again, intentionally misleading customers. Good luck on your future ventures. You won't see another dime from me. I may play again if you decide to fix the tradebar store.

instynctive · February 2016

The PC community feels your pain.. and has been feeling it for the better part of a year.

bananacustard · February 2016

If there was no intention of adding wards to the Trade Bar in this new expansion, why is there a Wards and Gems tab in the Trade Bar? WARDS and Gems... WARDS and Gems. I would ask if this was just copied from the PC but that would be parity - which we shouldn't expect..... Or should we? Brain melt.

lethalbean · February 2016

Its so sad

Thx for pointing that out bro, I was kinda blowin my top, all my friends are so mad and some strait up quit.
We had this awesome week planned out of what we were going to do for the start of mod 8, and this topic just ruined it!

I still can't believe it really :0[

I had posted this^^^^ as a new thread in xbox discussion so it would be seen but admin moved it here which is harder to find.

luigipr31 · February 2016

Yeap there was something wrong when they said "the trade bar for xbox wil be a little different than the one in PC". They knew that was smething we were looking for.. Im very Mad...

xxttghdxx · February 2016

I have put money into this game and plenty of it but now you take out wards,rubys and are making people pay zen to buy wards which costs MONEY and when people have paid MONEY on lockboxes and VIP you turn around and basically make the game pay to play this is not a free game no more and you have taken x2 AD and x2 Enchants out and put in x2 Refin which as you know will need pres and coal wards its disgusting and i hope people boycot this game until something is done and no this is not crying this is fact were all getting SCAMMED TO PAY A FREE GAME!!!!
