  • The game has only been out for about a year and a half, so saying it has taken 'years' to fix some bugs (or not at all) seems highly unfair to the developers. I understand the frustration, but complaining isn't going to help get the bugs fixed for us. All we can really do is flood them with as much seemingly useful…
  • Glad I ran into this thread. Even if I have mixed feelings on the general 'rule of thumb' that the community goes by. I do hope Cryptic Studios puts in a 'Bound on Need' option... but I do not see that really stopping people from trying to enforce the 'greed runs' as a general community group rule. The main reason for the…
  • They can do all the tests in the world. But the coding on the 'preview' server is different from the code on the live server. Bugs are always going to come through. They have, actually, mentioned the problem in a post yesterday that announced today's maintenance. (I found it when I went to look at the dev tracker.) Some…
  • TL\DR There is no solution that will end the plague of greed kickers, if you think a guild is too much effort then 'simply' make some friends who play at the same time that you tend to play and run instances with them. Keep reporting cases of greed kicking in the mean time and run the enigma of the 'perfect anti greed kick…
  • --->Warning, the following contains a large amount of opinion!<--- For the same reason people read awful literature such as Twilight. They enjoy it. Simple as that. I do not understand why they like it, and I really have no right to question them for it. ---> Opinionated nonsense complete. <--- I have no issue with the…
  • I would rather titles stay cosmetic fluff and not have any buffs tied to it. Last thing I want to see is lfg calls that demand people have a certain title active to do epic instances.
  • Opinions, they are remarkable. While I agree that some of the sliders have little to no effect I cannot say I agree that the models are ugly. But, as I said, opinions are remarkable.
  • To be honest, I dislike how some special effects (shaking for example) become active while in 3D edit mode. An option to enable or disable these effects while in 3d edit mode would be nice. (I forget to turn the option back on after working in the foundry! .O.) The only other issue I have has to do with doors not opening…
  • Any time an expansion is added to a pre-existing game, issues crop up. You can cry "why did you not test it!" but the truth of the situation is that the coding on the live server tends to differ from the preview server just a touch and sometimes this is enough to cause bugs that may or may not appear in testing. Not quite…
  • You still have to pay 200$ for i, and people who buy the pack now actually get a few less items than people who bought the pack before launch. (I know because my husband bought it after launch when he found out he would have to wait two months after the game left open beta to roll a drow.) They DID have a disclaimer at the…
  • Yes, unique means that combination of quality and colors will not be made available to people who do not get the pack. They did not claim the mesh would be exclusive to the HotN pack. The devil is in the technicality. I knew when I bought the HotN pack that there would be recolors of the mount placed into the game. But…
  • A lot of it also depends on if they want the bars for some reason. Some of the other items (trade-skill related) almost make it worth gambling if you have a side interest in the horse. Then again I got a horse from the first box I opened AFTER I bought one of the AH... :|
  • People rate low for minor things such as a single typo. This is hardly fair to the author in my opinion. I have to agree that having a +1 or skip vote would be prime. The skip vote could be soft tracked (or tracked via foundry) and used in some way. Both options grant the ability to write a review. Only being able to vote…
  • I would have to say my biggest complaint is the lack of ability to customize (race/appearance) my test character. Mostly because I want to make sure various objects are reachable to all races and all access points can be entered by all races. Since I make custom buildings... it is kind of a bad thing if a half orc is…
  • I will be the devil's advocate here. 1. The coding required to make them account bound would be troublesome. This assumes implementing such code would not destroy existing companions attached to players (something that would HAMSTER off a good number of people because they would have to re-level a companion and would lose…
  • 1. This is coming with the next expansion/module. 2. If you think it would only take an hour to 'code and put it in' then apply for a job with them so you can get this game nice and polished with in a week. There is nothing more annoying that someone who thinks coding is easy as write it up and snip it in. It is just a…
  • I know I do not use it at all, I sort things on my own. Loot being thrown off cliffs is more of a priority than the sort button and even that isn't high on my 'this needs to be fixed' issues.
  • Even DDO has its limitations due to coding. You cannot talk a villian into giving up or changing. You cannot steal back some item instead of defeating x boss. We have to face thee fact that (as of now) the freedom we expect from D&D does not translate well in a coding standpoint. They can add tricks and puzzles, but that…

  • A man who robs a bank is still a criminal even if his actions lead to the discovery of a major flaw in the security system. The players who exploited the issue were not trying to help improve the game. It was done to get ahead as quickly/efficiently as possible. If each of these players had put in a ticket announcing the…
  • I have to apologize at the underlined statement made me laugh. If they do a server roll-back I would be upset as well. However I would be angry at the players who abused the bug rather than Cryptic. Perhaps it is just common sense talking... It is not as though the company wants to do a roll-back on every player. If the…
  • You and I have a different definition of 'common sense'. What you describe is more like a small town in Wyoming printing an ad in every newspaper in the country about a weekend sale. We have a trade channel, thus common sense says that is where people will look to buy/sell. Granted this does assume all of the interested…
  • The problem with your critique is there are several different types of players. Some enjoy the very thing you detest (small area with strong monsters). Others enjoy a compelling story and do not mind a lack of challenge when it comes to the combat. Then there are people who min/max and want to make the most out of the…
  • There would be far more complaints if founders were given a completely unique race that no one would ever get. As for limiting the background, it is more than that race that has a fairly limited choice. That is where the background Role-Play stuff comes in handy. If you would like your character to have grown up on a small…
  • Was really hoping my situation was similar, however the newsletter box was already selected when I checked. -sigh-

  • It is the 28th. I have been checking my account (inbox and spam box) for the e-mail with no success. It seems putting in a support ticket is useless as they have been responded to as if the customer were asking about the actual beta access rather than the newly added "Other Game Goodies" that were added later. (Even if…

  • I have double checked the e-mail attached to the account. It is correct. Still no e-mail with the new perks that were added to the founder's package.

  • Not all of the items (companion and mount for example) are available yet in the beta weekend testing. They will be coming in later from what the developers have said (either open beta or launch).
  • Too long to read? Some main points are below. * We only have access to 7abilities at any given time that are divided into 3 different groups. Having too many options for skills makes balancing an issue and intimidates. * More customization is pointless as there always seems to be only one or two accepted builds for any…
  • Setting aside the mechanical limitations with weapons and power, what keeps you from stating that your character follows (insert evil god here) and playing that out in the game? Several of my characters (the way I have developed their background) would not even worship/pray/follow any of the deities. So while I am forced…
