  • You get a very high stats and damage kick from enchantment and runes. But to reach the highiest level you need coalescent ward and similar due to the huge drop of in fusion chance. Those are rare , and cost money to get in big enough quantity. Thus, you cannot compete meaningfully against someone paying for more and higher…
  • LOL. No. 3.5 Offers the most possibility to munchkin, but whether your DM do it or not is up to the 3-5 people you play with. I played a lot of 3.0 and 3.5 and did have a lot of "roleplay" type chars. But 4.0 from what I can see is the worst for "roll" play indeed. You can role play with a bad or good system. Heck you can…
  • I am not thru yet, I got the link from RPS. I have only finished 1 article and have 4 more open in tabs ;). it is fascinating and at the same time , educating.
  • As far as I can tell it is a joke/sarcasm thread. I don't recall seeing the purported announcement anywhere o the forum or main page.
  • Interrestingly I feel the same. I have a cleric at 60, a mage (nearly at 50) I could bring to 60 in an evening so near it is from there, a TR at above 40 a day or two away from 60. GF and GWF don't interest me. neither do raiding. So now I am waiting for the 6th class ;).
  • I don't know if player are leaving, we have only proxy to determinate that in absence of real number from perfect world. But the proxy we have (xfire /neverwinter, check the one not being NWN) indicate only a very small bump on release day above the number from the weeks before. Sure we have no evidence that xfire is…
  • In real DND I *reward* my player for coming with tricks to either avoid fights altogether, or tricks which works and ease the fights up. Throwing guy out of a cliff would be something I would reward for good use of the environment and tool. In fact the good old normal "fight" are the one which get the least XP in DnD.
  • Last time I asked about boss strategy I was kicked out of the PUG because I was a newbie, and therefore a weight. Nowadays I jsut don't ask anymore and try to learn hard on what i observe.
  • I find that funny you all mention that, because the biggest instance hold , what, 160 player ? That's protector enclave. The other instance (levelling one) I saw maybe 30 to 40 players. instanced game are as far away as "massively" as you can go. it is a [strike]M[/strike] MOPRG. Secondely even being massively or…
  • favorite : clock tomb , the one you solo with lots of clock. Worst one : it was the temple of elemental something ? Big boss were stacked in what is supposed to be a solo dungeon, and you get 2 mega health sponge mega AOE mini boss near a ledge , very very far away from the last camp site. I don't mind failing, but I do…
  • Some country require for real gambling that the odds are announced clearly, when you are offering a gambling lottery, and frankly i think it is a good idea. Would you do the gamble if you knew there is one chance out of 3000 to get the mount ? Or 1 chance out of 20 ? You can't make an informed choice as it is a black box.
  • I don't understand why PWE did not implement a very simple feature I know in nearly all MMO : if the other party CHANGE the content of what they are offering, your acceptance is revoked and you need to re-accept the new trade. THIS 101 MMO coding frankly. To the guy above about eve : eve is a totaly different type of game…
  • It would have made much more sense to have the white as a random drop, and the blue costing 40 or upward bones. Just saying.
  • To the OP : I think your definition of core player , and the one cryptic will want differs. You want a group of player staying in neverwinter propping community up etc... Cryptic on the other hand wants palyer which will pay Zen. How many of your (OP's) defined core player will be paying a good chunk of Zen, as opposed of…
  • I have tried CW, TR, DC up to 41 (55 for DC). GWF I did not "click" guardian I am at level 15. So far on the fun to kill stuff and easiness to kill stuff I place the rogue. It seems so much easier to solo with it.
  • To be honest I kinda like iot the way it is. I am casual, a real one, not the fake csual which people pretend should reach 60 in a few days. That means I play one hour maybe two every day. I am about to reach 55 tomorow with my cleric :). I have also a thief at 41, a wizard at 40 something and a guardiana t 15. I guess I…
  • That always happens , at least for me, I only see it being far more painful during boss fights (dungeon or not). What i particularly hate is dodging away from a red zone, being what looks like 4 or 5 in game meter from the red, and the mob JUMP into the red to make its attack.... And i get damaged. Like for example…
  • I have seen that in dungeon like Idris with my rogue. At 40 something i was doing double damage some guy which a few level above. I also so that with my cleric last week in GWD. I don't think it is necessary skill, it can very well be that you just have plain better weapon or equipment.
  • I did quit a dungeon in the middle. Now before you start raging, I did not quit because of multiple wipe, that's no reason to quit, neither would i quit due to a newbie saying "he hopes all goes well" as we were all newbie at some point. But until the patch comes out, if somebody at the first boss start "needing" stuff out…
  • Epic thread. You know what i would like as a new class ? The "add" class. Class feature : you don't do much damage, but every once in a while, or on timer, or at random you spawn 3 to 5 annoying duplicate of yourself, and flood the mob.
  • Log in for jsut the invoke every day , is a bit more than a few keystroke. just the logging process take much longer than that.
  • Glass canon are reserved for class which are high damage and low armor/no mitigation. Since as you admit he is not a DPS class, maybe you should call him a glass stick, or something less intimidating than a canon. @OP : main take on this is that the balance is out of whack after level 30. Having PVP a bit for both before…
  • If it suits you. I have no problem invoking an imaginary being, having done AD&D for years (yeah you used to get your cleric spell from your imaginary god). Anyway that's not much different from real life *snicker* after all no gods has ever been evidenced to exist. AT least in neverwinter you get a gift and evidence of…
  • It is a chore because if you skip *one* piddly day (sickness, work, family, whatever), you lose everything. A much better system would have been that it stays the same or drop slowly. But set back to zero ? Anybody with a life not being able to be *daily* on the game is excluded. After losing twice my coins due to real…
  • 1% of success means 99% of failure. So how many fuse will you need in average to have say, 50% chance success over all the fuse to have had a result ? 0.5=(0.99)^x=exp(x.ln(0.99)) implies ln(0.5)/ln(0.99)=x So x=68 about. That means after 68 tries of fusing you have 50% chance of having had somewhen a successfully fused…
  • I have a serious question here, not trolling or anything, but how many of your dev team are working on neverwinter ? Because at time it feels it is a very very small team. I mean , the patch note are very small and nothing major is shown. It looks more like the patch of something on which minor problem are touched. Are you…
  • It is an example of fight mechanic not involving throwing adds and more adds. The best encounter are the one which need coordination, and a DPS race against rage mechanics. THe cracking the wall above to lower fire DOT is an example of good mechanic. The fire DOT growing stronger over time is the DPS race. The…
  • The things is , the xfire data is not "unreliable", the problem is with its population selection. There is no guarantee that the xfire population overlap greatly the general NW playing population. But at the moment it is the only evidence, and match to boot the OP's anecdote. In fact I remember reading a comment similar to…
  • It is difficult to say if people are going away or not as there are no official statistic. There is an unofficial one from xfire : http://www.xfire.com/games/nw Naturally it selects only the people having the xfire client on their PC. Nonetheless it is obvious from that statistic that from the max people which started in…
  • That and other "computer gamification" aspect of 4e, is what makes most of us in RP clubs to consider 4e an abomination. We have people which likes 2e over 3e , 3.5 over 3e, but I know of none which even think 4e is remotely good.
