I have 5 level 60's. Between them all, I've run probably only 4-5 dungeons. My schedule makes it difficult for me to stay online for any given length of time, so I almost never do dungeons. I did them only in the beginning, to see what they were like. You can solo the entire game just fine. But, if you are like me, you…

...then you "aren't doing it right." I have all classes leveled to 60. I'm taking my rogue (only at this time) through the new content. I'm breezing right right, like everything was butter, and I'm using only the PVP purple gear to do it with exception of some cheap recovery purples I bought on AH. Why is that last…

For clarity (and accuracy), here is the timeline: * 2004 - Perpetual Entertainment begins to develop STO * Jan 2008 - Cryptic picked up licensing to continue developing STO from Perpetual Entertainment (who went bankrupt). * Dec 2008 - Cryptic bought by Atari. * Feb 2010 - STO released (cost of game + cost of subscription…

This is what I actually said: It's like the many instances of Western businesses placing their brick-n-mortar stores in foreign countries without changing how they do business. They often fail because of the lack of ability (or even attempt) to understand the demographic...and there is an assumption that is made that "Well…

I don't think PWE is focusing on customer retention, as evidenced of lacking in end game content and catering to the long-term players. I think instead, they are focusing on getting as many new players as possible by making the game have all sorts of features, even if they are just "icing" on an under-baked "cake." WoW,…
-
Agreed. But I wonder if this is just a difference of cultures. PWE is the NA publisher of PW, which is a Chinese game publisher. The Asian video game industry is quite different than Western, both in design and business practice. While it may make sense to you and I to think about building relationships for the long-term,…

Good point. I've found the same. I'm going through all these mobs like they were butter. I 3 hit most mobs with my TR...who isn't specced for dmg or crit...but RECOVERY because I went "infinite stealth" for pvp "kicks and giggles". So even with this "for fun only" build, I have zero trouble with any new mob I've…

Apparently, the two are "different." One is called "Gilded Giant Spider" and the other is called "Heavy Giant Spider." So obviously, these are two, completely different mounts that have nothing in common with one another, making the $200 founder pack well worth it. /end sarcasm With respect to the spider mount, looks like…

Well...you could always buy a new companion. PW seems to think that fixes everything. On a serious note...have you submitted a ticket?
-
1. The exp you gain is for your companions to level with...not you (as a level 60). 2. Yes. That seems to be a common complaint about Module 1. The rewards are underwhelming. But then, the same was true when Gauntlgrym was released. It isn't popular because the underwhelming gear received isn't worth the time or effort…
-
re: companions, agreed. I forgot about that because I have all my companions leveled (except 1) on all toons (5 level 60's). Exp for companions is important. That being said, the rewards so far in the new content are pretty lackluster both in terms of money + gear. It makes no sense for the vet 60's to play for reward…
-
Incorrect. The gold release was an "arbitrary" date (vs "functional" date, in the sense that there was practically no difference while it was in open beta to it going gold). It was in the same state that it was in during beta for quite some time. Regardless, this is more poor reasoning from you (as was exposed in another…

rofl I felt the same way. Welcome to Perfect World's World.

Perhaps one of the most idiotic responses ever to be posted in the NW forums. One does not need to work for a video game company nor have worked on a game in order to object to or critique a business practice or design. Using that same illogicity...no one should give a negative review or even critique any product or…
-
well...sorry to disappoint...but players are limited on how much new content they can play per day. Got about 90 mins out of it today (probably could have done it in 60 mins, but i explored a little). After completing the quests, I'm told by the NPC that I need to come back tomorrow in order to do any more quests. =) No…
-
lol yes...you are LIMITED in how much of the new content you are allowed to play per day. "Brilliant"...just like the Gaunt debacle. Maybe Phil Fish was on to something when he claimed that most modern Asian games are "<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>."
-
...wait? What? You have to PAY to access the new content??
-
No. Simply enjoying a game doesn't make one "fanboi." Nor does spending money on a game. I've enjoyed and spent over $100 on the game (in the first couple months). Enjoyment =/= "fanboi." It's defending the game at all costs and abandoning reason in the process in order to do so that is what I'm talking about. Agreed. I…
-
That's what they made it sound like this time around. They "hope" to have 1 class completed by end of the year. Several months of development...and only 5 classes at release, none of which are ranged fighters...then 6 months later...they hope to have 1 additional class, bringing the total to 6? It's just so...weird…
-
Yup. But don't expect the fanbois to take this into consideration. It's one thing to say "Yeah, they led people to believe that a new class and new paragons would be available, but things change. They had to re-prioritize, it happens during game development." But the fanbois can't even humble themselves to that much.…
-
Actually, no. "On top of that" isn't a separation, but an addition. How could you not know this given your self-proclaimed "authority" of the English language? Cute. But smarmy isn't your thing. Just makes you appear foolish, particularly when you make such silly mistakes as above. Right...so in other words "I can't…
-
Yes, surprised because he probably doesn't believe it to be true, like me. As of a couple ago, it was just the opposite. They were teasing that a ranged class as well as new paragon paths WOULD be released in this module. They were using language that is just the opposite of what you are claiming. Aside from the previews…

Another thing to consider....NW has around 400 quests with each player doing around 200-300 max. This is extremely low even for a beginning mmorpg (wow had a few thousand when it started (obviously divide that in 2 for the 2 factions), it now has around 20,000 total; Rift has even more apparently). So either more quests…
-
...no...there really IS no end game content UNLESS you consider doing the content OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER. End game content doesn't mean "Hey...there's a new dungeons that opened up at 60 and I can do the old ones I've alraedy done again on 'epic'." He's referring to the fact that after completing them...there's…
-
+1 op. I have 5 level 60's, 1 of each class, all outfitted in T1 purps (save a few item exceptions). I agree also that there is more of a focus on ways to spend money than actual content and fixes for the game, indicating a lack of leadership in the creativity department, or too much leadership by the pencil pushers. I…
-
Yes yes...says the one incapable of a coherent argument. lol Hmmm...your ability to discern between objection and "scream" is alarming, but it is the 'net and we get all sorts I guess...so we'll let that slide. However, absence of other people objecting is not evidence for your case. You would know this if you had ever…
-
Yes, why? That's fine...I've never said you didn't...nor did I say that one shouldn't. Yes, I know. So....?
-
Ad hominem, ad populem. Yet more fallacies. Keep 'em coming! You are doing great! :) /grabs popcorn, eagerly awaiting what new and fascinating ways mconossrep will abuse reason. That one has much or little knowledge of professions in no way absolves one of bad reasoning. If you ignore the context of what is said, you will…
-
Bad guess. Stay away from Vegas. Leadership is the qualifier here. Ignoring it doesn't help your case...it merely exposes you ignoring it. Again, UOD man...UOD. And now you are even backtracking on what you originally said. When someone said that it was possible to level those professions (mentioned in the op) in a few…
