WHY THE HELL u dont fix the Bugs on the CWs???
2 Skills keeps bugged and its reported many many many times
Slowclap.
happy exploiting
Classes
1. Hope u made sure u checked both hastening lights from class features and off hand feature.
2. Hunter ranger's exploit that gives a constant of DoT's was not fixed?.
3. Not a balance for paladin first daily being too much?
4. Not a needed balance for a warlock class?
Environment
1. Mistral point battle vanishes when it gets to minute 5:00
2. U're missing a lot of more quests that need more drop chances for items.
3. Pve campaigns being too insane, heroic encounters should be for groups without forcing us to get a group for simple solo-dailies.
4. Well done for tiamat's donation. But have u wondered if any recent raid has made it?
5. I was expecting to see daily pvp matches would give a seal of thriump and 500 glory to be fair with the old rewards for newbies.
Drakeos Shadowbow - 60 Combat Pathfinder Hunter Ranger (Alt/retired)
Falados - Drow (Mez) Level 60 Trickster Rogue - Offically retired
Drakeos - Drow (Mez) Scourge Warlock/Druid (retired)
DC's bug was related to hastening light.
This is now available on Preview! Please note, current exploit fixes are NOT posted.
From here:http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?904051-Elemental-Evil-Preview-Patch-Notes-NW-45-20150416c-3&p=10683401&viewfull=1#post10683401
And yet there's still no fixes.
Great job.
Go Cryptic!
PS - I quit.
all In all I'm happy too see a lot of bug fixes, and interested too see what rank 11-12 briattwine look line ( can someone make one and link the desc for me? But the balance changes section is quite small, The KE bug being fixed is AWESOME however, still lame when you get oneshot by a 93k SE though.
YAY
Drunken Goose of MidNight Express. - 3.3k Paladin , 3.6k GWF , 3.1k GF,
So the unlocks for rank 4 are functioning properly, are the powers thenselves fixed? Or can they just be properly ranked up to level 4 at which point they stop working partially/completely? I.E. weapon master GWF passive works fine up to rank 3. Rank 4 it simply does not proc or stack, at all. Just looking for some clarification as the very first bullet point seems incomplete considering the dramatic across-the-board-all-classes-had-at-least-one repercussions. Costs zen to respec those powers, I will wait if ranking them up, again, causes the entire power to malfunction.
Encounter Matrix | Advanced Foundry Topics
can't you read ? seriously YOU . read again both are fixed .
Same with it Reducing the damage paladins deal, and not triggering on BL, seems to work well on other classes though, I bought it for my pally though, anyone wanna buy a pure fey, hahahahaha
Drunken Goose of MidNight Express. - 3.3k Paladin , 3.6k GWF , 3.1k GF,
Unproductive, pls remove from these threads. The unspoken "bug fixes" are hopefully not another of the same old 'cryptic' lie meaning nothing. This is getting exhausting, please get down to business and stop trying to baffle us with poorly worded bullsheet. I want to play the game towards goals, achievable in an ordinate amount of time, without worrying that items/sets/boons/mechanics/the fundamental core algorithms are being rewritten and/or changed/nerfed/'improved'/replaced/ etc. etc. etc.....
In the name of the invisible man in the sky, show some consistency and offer the product you sell. I would be embarrassed for this game companies' development, sales, and primarily retention departments. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Not another dedicated player out there who wouldn't put game switch on hold if NWO would just pretend to see from consumer point view.
--$>A5 first person on PC is the shut bang snap dizzle.*><
Signed: One of those PVP BiS GWF we all lov3 to hate
Completely worth it
I agree. My main character is warlock. I loved playing him. Now his power is useless. He used to feed upon souls of the enemies, now he just nibbles on them..
Warlocks deserve more balance.
WTB Class Reroll please
There was absolutely nothing in the patch notes regarding HR's. Which begs the question, should someone who can't read tell someone else they can't read?
regarding HR's, the multiple nerfs done to HR's in mod6 has all but made the HR useless, at least those that are pure archery. This has occurred for many classes since mod 3. And in many ways you are forced to play a specific style, chosen by Cryptic, in order to play the class.
As an example, for a SW, you are pretty much forced to go down the paragon path that keeps your soul puppet active at all times, or you die frequently and can't do a lot of damage. For HR's you're all but forced into being a trapper or combat path. For CWs, you have to go ice, otherwise you in deep trouble. GWFs are often forced between being hard hitters with a glass body, or a full fledged tank who hits as if his sword was a wet noodle.
What I would truly love to see is Cryptic to make the game so that you can succeed regardless of the path you choose. The same goes for weapon and armor stats. If I want to play a GWF that is based on power, crit, arp and defense and my epic/artifact gear is based in power, recovery and regeneration (and regeneration is useless during battle now) exactly how is this "right"?
Why not make all gear give random stats, and you keep running dungeons, or whatever until you get what you want, for the way you want to build your character? Maybe I don't want LS or Regen or Recovery or Deflect. Maybe I want a full set of armor that is all power, crit, arp and defense, why can I not have that? Every time a new type of epic armor or artifact gear or jewelcrafting whatever comes out, I have to re-do enchants or whatever because cryptic has changed what stats they're putting on the gear. One of the best things about other games, and especially DND pen n paper play is that I can truly create my own character, tailor it to what *I* think is best, not what someone else thinks is best.
One of things I loved about Neverwinter is something on your cut screens between maps, "All normal content can be completed with a character and a companion alone", then you changed the rules in Mod6 and made it so unless you're one of the OP classes, you have to group. Well, the thing is, some of us are lone wolves and don't want to group. And from what I've been reading in zone chat, that's a lot of people who are lone wolves, and we only want to group in dungeons or skirmishes, or Gautlgrym, etc. So again, why is Cryptic forcing us, its players, to change the way we want to play, not to mention turning 1/2 the game upside down and inside out and invalidating or making multiple classes, or paths within classes totally unplayable? That's much akin to shooting yourself in the head...
Yes, you can always get new players, but when you don't even listen to us, as you showed us when we gave you feedback on the preview server before this mod6 fiasco went live, you show us that you only care about our money, not about US.
Yes, this is a business, and it's for profit, but you've forgotten something very important, if you don't treat your customers right, your customers will no longer patronize your business, and will spread that information around. Eventually your bottom line will shrink more and more until your business is out of business.
when will be fixed the bug with paladin shield ? Freezing rays of CWs are going through CC immunity when paladin have shield active. If I remeber correctly, the same problem was with GFs shield before.
Plz, fix that as soon as possible. That is destroying pvp for paladins.
Regards
Also, please tone down the difficulty on the dungeons sheesh. I mean, can you guys get sued for false advertising when you say a CC run take's ~30min when all actuality it takes 3hrs, or were you only addressing the boss fight IF you don't die during?
Please answer. the new content is pretty great minus the recycled parts. That's annoying. Can't wait to move on from tiamat.
