  • I completely disagree. I have full epic dungeon gear and level 20 professions and I fully support a complete wipe. I think a ton of hardcore players will leave the game behind if there *isn't* a wipe. The game is in a completely miserable state.
  • In general circumstances CWs should not have knockbacks equipped. However, There are several spots (especially in T2s) in which knocking mobs off ledges is highly desirable.
  • Only if the best stuff is BoP. Well, it should be BoP either way...
  • Not sure where you're getting this from, but this is not another "P2W" thread.
  • You seem to either be intentionally ignoring the point or assuming the point of this thread is the same as another you read yesterday. Take a step back and stop assuming people are making the same points as the last thread you read. There are extremely important differences between whats being discussed here and your…
  • As per the name of the thread, the point is that the BEST gear is not, in any way, restricted. It is very easy to purchase the very top tier of gear without any in-game effort whatsoever post-60.
  • You're severely misusing this term. The terms "PtW" and "win" are yours, not mine. You're injecting your own pre-conceived opinions here. Yes, you can, and its very easy. What are you talking about? And you've proven my point directly.
  • Yes, but for a large portion of the MMO community the entire point is risk vs reward. Anything available on the auction house is, logistically, rather easy to obtain. If you don't have to defeat difficult content in order to obtain the best rewards, there isn't much reason to even attempt it.
  • I'm not sure what you're looking at, but the end game items in these categories are BoE, including seal purchased gear.
  • There is absolutely no separation between PvE and PvP gear. There isn't even a PvP stat. Even so, that is a small part of the point here - end game gear is end game gear right now, and you can buy anything you want by pumping cash into it. There is absolutely to need to earn items through game play.
  • Ok but we are, in part, discussing the value of investing in this game from the point of view of the player. As far as PVE vs PVP - portions of the player base care about both sections of the game. To say "you cant win in PvE" is to make the value assessment that somehow PvP is intrinsically superior to PvE. A significant…
  • Sure, but the argument of precedent is based upon merit. If we're saying "this is good because it's been done before," it implies that it was a good thing the first time it happened.
  • I partially agree with you. However, this is a part of the purpose of this thread. Feedback is the name of the game - and if the devs are watching feedback we want them to know that the community desires a BoP tier at the top.
  • I really have no idea what you're talking about here. Cosmetics are huge business for all games even resembling a "f2p" model. Just look at Dota 2 and Path of Exile - both games are *thriving* on cosmetic-only items.
  • I understand fully what you're saying here and respect it. However, the fact that other games have gone down this road is not a justification of any kind. We should discuss the merits of this design model independently.
  • "Astral Diamond Exchange"
  • All the best gear is BoE. Yes, its absurd and needs to be changed ASAP.
  • The term "beta" is broadly misused. It's really nothing more than marketing terminology at this point. For the purposes of the player, Neverwinter launched 2 weeks ago.
  • I agree there would still be some issue with irrational individuals rolling need on things. You should only be able to roll "need" on items which your class can equip. Still, a BoP top tier would solve the core end game issues currently present in Neverwinter. Personally, I think both things need to happen to salvage the…
  • The top tier gear needs to be BoP. Anything short of that results an absurd, shallow game with little reason to play at all.
  • From what I understand, the final boss is pretty extremely over tuned right now.
  • Yes, some class balancing needs to be done. However, you also shouldn't assume that the "pvp" gear is the way to go for pvp. In many cases, there is much better gear available for pvp than the current pvp stuff.
  • Exactly. It seems to be the sad truth that this game was designed from the ground up just to get people to list items on the auction house, which will result in people buying zen to covert to AD to buy items. It's truly absurd that the top tier of gear isn't BoP. I'm struggling to find aspects of this game which *aren't*…
  • It's been broken for at least 2 days
  • I definitely agree that at the moment the lock boxes are the best value for your money out there, so what you're doing is a smart way to handle the market as it exists right now. It's just that long term, lock boxes will not be a definitive answer on how to make money (since there is some concern floating around regarding…
  • Oh, yes, I do not disagree with that at all. I just think it will be to transfer the alt ADs to a central character by utilizing the Zen:AD conversion market directly on each character rather than going through the middle men of lock boxes and keys.
  • The ADs would only be returned if you sold every single item that came out of them, which is the same thing as not purchasing a box in the first place.
  • I'm not sure if the OP here is just choosing to ignore basic economic principles. The average value of what comes out of the lock boxes will settle at the same price as a key. This is not a long term way to make money. You either got very lucky with drops or the current economy has people seriously overpaying for things…
  • Injury Kits and potions for epic dungeons. You will need lots of them and gold is very hard to hold on to.
  • The most important thing to remember is that this is not a pen and paper game. You should optimize your character. If you do not, don't expect to clear the hardest dungeons.
