The "6th bag mentality" of PW/Neverwinter.

theungodly · February 2016

I decided to use the 6th bag as an example for the collective broken functions in Neverwinter. You know, the 6th bag that was introduced with Underdark. The bag that cant be seen when you access the bank, the market, etc. An example were you take for granted that the devs test it out before release - and if they make an error you assume that the devs would go "Oh man! To release that was an embarrassing mistake. Lets fix it a.s.a.p!" But that's not how it seems to work.

I, and many many others, could list a ton of broken content like this, but there's a bunch of those threads already. Some broken content that's been there since release (that's almost A YEAR ago) and some that broke along the way. Alot of broken, non functional, glitched, poorly functioning content you assume that the devs should catch before releasing it or at least fix it immediately after. Broken content that has been reported hundreds, maybe thousand, times.

Im posting this thread with hope that some dev would give us some kind of answer to why. Why aren't some stuff fixed? Why has some stuff been allowed to be there for a year?! A week, a month ...sure. But A YEAR? Don't you care about your gamers experience? Because i cant imagine that you're not aware when some broken content are so blatant.

+1 very frustrating when you spend Zen on a new bag...only to find it glitched.

Yea I already mentioned that in my thread, really sad thing:

Just assume they aren't ever going to fix it as that's their track record.

You should put potions, lockboxes & peridots etc in the 6th so they auto-stack. I just forget about that bag until I need a potion etc or they overflow into the next then I have a clearout.

If a bug loses them money you can be sure they are working on a fix. If there's no direct cost to them then they simply don't bother. For all their "we listen to our community & value your feedback" bull, we have all seen this is patently not the case.

Yeah, i already do. Once again the players have to adapt and work around broken content since nothing gets fixed. This game is in desperate need of people who actually care and get things done. There's only two possibilities really. Either they're not competent enough to fix the broken content or they just don't care. I bet on the latter, because they surely now about all the issues.

honestly after perfect world entertainment bought cryptic for half a billion dollars, the new ceo n the new senior team does not give a hoot and just sit at the office do nothing but collect money and bonuses as they know ppl that plays game is dumb n will keep spending their own hard cash for zen, if all the gamers, especially the rich one in this game can have an agreement in place n boycott any cryptic games for not spending a single real dollars on zen for 1 month, trust me....the management and the programmer will fix all the issues that they have on all their games as it impact their bottom line n net profit.

is kind of sad that the old CEO and his team resign because of internal issues

No, they don't. That's the whole point: the make tons of money even while the game is so flawed, cause there are gamers who don't care about bugs so long as they can slide their CC... And that makes Cryptic happy enough to not spend resources on fixing bugs. It's a vicious cycle.

Well the beak down for f2p MMOs if the wallet warriors ($1~10k weekly) don't complain about something then nothing changes, now I'd there id's a bug/glitch that benefits the free players they'll be quick to fix it and that is every f2p out there

Amaze me how you guys care so much for such a small bug. I use the last bag for all my refinement and so it just go there as i pick it up. I forget about it and when comes double refinement, ill just use everything. End of story. Would i see it fixed? Yeah sure, but compare to some other bugs... its nothing.

For exemple... THRONE OF THE DWARVEN GODS INFILTRATION, an achievement that is almost unobtainable, unless the game decide to be generous out of pure randomness. This need a fix ASAP, yet i seem to be the only one that work for it...

If you actually read my first post you didn't have to be "amazed."
The 6th bag is just an example to describe the over all dev mentality when it comes to all bugs and glitches and that nothing seems to be tested or ever fixed.

A gree, besides. Not everyone that plays Neverwinter is hunting for achievements. They rather look on the other side of the game and trying to enjoy it without unlocking any achievements.
