If you're a troll or an a-hole then Neverwinter is the game for you.
Fancy some PvP? Well if you want to get fast glory just go AFK! Who cares about actually doing PvP, you want them purples! But maybe you want to get a better reward, how about that blue item? Well, forget about PvPing, just go and capture points, then leave them so you lose them, and retake them for more points! Get the points to get the points to get the points to buy them PvP purples. PvP = Player versus Points. If someone on your team is dying and needs help, forget about that, there's a point to capture! If the other team is capturing a point, don't defend it, just let them take it, then retake it for more points! You don't even need to bother trying to win or fight anyone!
But maybe you'd like to troll some PvE, <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> off them kids and scrubs? Sure, just queue up for a dungeon, and start needing on everything. Forget if the other players want the item, you can sell it on the auction house! Or, at least to the vendor! Then you can just buy the gear you want, since it's all BoE. Don't worry about being kicked, they can't get a replacement here, and if you're the group leader, there's no way you'll be kicked!

pvp point system is indeed <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>
Today we had a patch that fixed
LOCKBOXES BEING TRADEABLE
Greatest. Post. Ever.
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
Yup. Its pretty much some of the worst <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> design of a game ive seen long in an mmo.
Never have so many, grieved so much.
Players aren't rewarded for doing anything in pvp other than capturing points.
Players can need on any item, even if their class can't use said item.
What does Cryptic focus on: fixing the foundry so players can't level a bit faster than their intended quest chain allows. Why does anyone care how someone gets to 60? Is the market going to suddenly be monopolized? Is their PVE content going to suffer for it? Is PVP content going to suffer from it?
There are actual exploits in game, and not these fictional ones individuals are whining about, but what needs addressing isn't being addressed, or even acknowledged by the staff. Alot of the mechanics in game need to be reworked with group play in mind, and needs to take into account people don't want their time wasted because individuals don't want to play a game, but greedily play into a system that encourages a selfish mentality by proxy of their in game currency and cash shop.
Not very different from savage br's.
Tis' the life of a gamer... to be an a-hole, blame competitive mentality aka Americanism.

I liked it, but I still think your post about Do'Urden fan fic was the greatest post of all time.

really??? but i sold like 15 boxes today! lol!!!
and the ****-tards who steal your prof. mats while you are fighting( this has my nerves boiling)
Be respectful, remember, you PLAY the game at your convenience, they WORK at no ones."
However, how much fun would you actually have in PvP if your team was getting tossed around like ragdolls? Does that make it fun for the losing team? Nope, not really, what's the point of fighting a losing battle in the first place? I can't see any reason why no sane man wouldn't go afk. The game isn't Tier based, nor has any form of "Matchmaking", and honestly, no one here can say they enjoy getting shi_t on by the other team, and not feel like just giving up.
Fighting an entire team of people who've been geared out since day one, have had more time to play then others, and all they do is spend majority of their time in PvP with overpowered gear just isn't fun. There've been matches where you literally can't touch someone due to how much defense they have due to gear.
I personally can't blame people for wanting to go AFK during a losing battle to gear themselves up so they actually stand a chance. And this is coming from someone who has the full PvP gear, and has been sh_t on many times. Course, me and my team never went afk, however, we never really enjoyed ourselves either when the battle was one sided.
Good post but you cant justify people doing that. In one game there was only three of us trying to fight back, if you care about a game in any shape or form your at least going to try to fight back, no? Its not like your going to loose money in gambling and there is no penality for loosing in PvP, you even get rewarded.
Sorry, what makes you think those are *your* materials?
Because if there were mobs placed on top of them, it was clearly designed so that you would fight them first. To ninja the materials after someone else engages is weak (<- Proper use of "ninja")
But yeah, let the "Ooooo SHINEY" phase wear off n the niche pop settles in. Every new game has to deal the the ****-tards untile the pass on to the next new thing.
I was going to reply that I agreed with judgemonroe, but you just ninja'd spot #22 in this thread. You are a bad person.
Indeed, I'm in your house, eating your Hot Pockets.
Back on topic, people shouldn't have expected much, Cryptic has never had a track record for good PvP. It was good for maybe the first two weeks in CO, until people started totally breaking it. It's been horrible for STO and they're promising to do something about it later this year, but no one there is holding their breath.
I have advocated the following system in Star Trek Online for STFs (their version of dungeon delves) and other public queue content. It is based off of the Incarnate Raid system from City of Heroes. The game measures the activity level of the various players and each public queue event has a minimum activity threshold. If a player does not exceed the minimum activity threshold, then they don't get a reward or just a consolation prize. The activity threshold should be low enough that any active player should be able to get it. In dungeons, it could be set up so you have to at least damage a certain number of mobs to get it. So just walking around and grabbing chests would give nothing.
Imagine a game where the devs didnt have to waste so much time fixing exploits and putting complex rules in to prevent cheating and could take all that time and put it towards content.
Reminds me of another MMO that has PVP. I hear they have ranked matches now but I'm sure they are the same unless your whole team is fully decked out with "(insert adjective here) PvP gear".
Also, I think going afk (not actually, but refusing to be a victim of bullying) when your random group is matched against a premade is perfectly "legitimate". I don't mind premades and I think it's the smart thing to do, I just won't play against them. Premades should not be matched with PUGs.
These are experienced MMO developers. I wouldn't blame you for thinking that they would have a grasp on how players behave by now.
