Howdy, Stranger!

I liked the solo quest dungeons a great deal. It's a shame they are single use only (per character, but still). I was actually amazed by some of them. The Plague Tower at the end of the Linkletter chain for instance. The sewers were really neat too. There are some real gems hidden away. For instance only on my third…

And this I believe is the reason why we haven't seen the "coming soon" classes yet. I still stand by my opinion that the original plan called for warlock to be released with launch. Yet then the GWF happened with it's balance mishaps. It is pretty straight forward to create the models, animations and to a lesser degree the…

You misunderstand. In 4e "striker" is the party role of damage dealer, concentrating on single targets. It does not imply the guy goes up close and strikes the target with a close range weapon. So the ranger, as anticipated by the players, will be a martial (training based using "normal" weapons) striker (DD concentrating…

I assume that means vorpal shards are a CN drop? I know the plaguefire is a lockbox drop, but haven't seen info on where to get the vorpal from.

I wonder how many players actually demand ridiculously high GS to drive the sales of their own merchandise. Probably overall a Conspiracy Theory notion, but still, I can't help but wonder. Not accepting players to parties before they buy (after all, if they can't run the dungeons, buying is the only option) the gear you…

Except for loading areas (if you haven't disabled patch on demand) your 10/1 speeds won't really matter much. What matters is your geographical location, that of your party members (if applicable) and your ISP and their net policies (peering and such). The ISP and location are the determining factors not only because of…

I'm on the fence about repelling. I do believe it is intended game play, especially in some situations like the triple marsh mystics or triple hallucinated erynies in Dread Vault. But I also believe it seems to be extremely overused towards the high end. Glitching your way through a dungeon, camp fire respawns after…

Hi Vinnlander. It's a shame we are on different servers, I'd have liked to make your acquaintance in game. I share your sentiment fully. I believe the fundamental and irreconcilable difference is the one between enjoying do-ing and have-ing. A tough fight here in NW can be very enjoyable to me, when the party can "click"…

My cleric has already decided to ignore the pirates that the Yargos are. Did the dungeon and skirmish, skipped the rest of the zone.

I'm a DC. I'm taking things slowly and was very glad for my white mage and (from lvl 52 on) my blue skeleton dog. I loved the dog for it's willingness to stay where it gave me combat advantage and once in advantage it triggered it's takedown quite frequently. But ever since I picked up my unicorn seal implement, I stopped…

Just throw him a doggy biscuit. Or something that could pass as one. The dog will not taste it, but will remember the taste and be happy.

Agreed on the period thing. You know the Romans had perfectly good sewers and fresh water supply with fountains and even running water to individual houses, provided you were the emperor or a rich citizen that could afford it? The mykene culture I think even had some sewer system, and those guys were a good deal earlier…

Eh, in EvE there used to be the saying: "slot a long term training skill for patchday" like in at least 5 days xD just to be safe. I was around for one expansion patch where they managed to corrupt the database. They recovered without losses from a backup, but rebuilding the DB ended up in a 36h downtime instead of the…

They already start at a comparatively ungodly hour for american IT workers: 7am their local time. So likely a 6am start of the work day for the operations team, getting up even earlier than that. In a world wide single IT service operations, downtimes will always be at an inconvenient time for someone, in this case some…

Mine is named "Formally Shaggy" I like to think of my skellie dog having been a golden retriever or sheep guarding dog in it's now ended life.

I believe the Avenger is pretty much a devine rogue for the purposes of NW. :Casts Resist Energy: Fire in preparation of flaming: ;-)
-
I love punting certain mobs over the edge of a cliff. Especially those blasted Marsh Mystics in the Garrundar the Vile skirmish. Have even done so with my GWF and his comparatively puny roar and on my cleric main with devine Sun Flare. The main thing to remember here is though more of a good thing is not necessarily an…

To all those who are disappointed about the lack of a new class: I'm sure someone in marketing at cryptic is just as mad as you are. It would have been a great opportunity imho and for, say, the warlock not to make it's debut there must have been good reasons. Timing would have been perfect for it. The only reason I can…
-
No new class being announced is odd. I'd have thought going officially live would have been a great PR opportunity to release a new class and supposedly one more was almost done" but didn't quite make the cut for OB. If this will indeed be the "going live" patch I feel a great marketing opportunity was lost. Eh well, I'm…

Used to be that way in D&D up to recently. Yesterday I had an internet outage and found that Neverwinter Nights (1!) box sitting around so I loaded it up and messed a bit with it. (Bought it some time ago as a 5€ rerelease sale thingy but never gave it much play time for some reason). It uses 3rd ed. rules and heals are…
-
Thanks for the explanations.
-
Was the weapon limit part of the reason Clerics and Druids became too powerful in 3rd ed.? I've seen quite a few mentions that some classes were overly powerful and clerics and druids were among them (mostly to the detriment of classes like fighters). If you have no limitations to the use of tools of the trade, then I…

If you want to fully do the story line without overleveling at all, you probably need to skip all dailies, not do skirmishes (they don't advance the storyline really) and just do the quests and do the dungeons only once each. On a related note, for future alts I plan to omit all official storyline quests and work my way…

I have been thinking about this topic myself and for a time would have loved it. However, there are some possibilities for abuse and the PvP thing wouldn't even be the worst from Cryptics point of view I think. You have that sort of stuff going on in a lot of MMOs and the devs don't usually put a stop to it. I think the…

Hi Kalindra. My problem seems to have just been the positioning and deleting that one key solved it. XP sort of has 2 levels of administrator. The first named account you create on a xp professional machine will be the Computer Administrator account. You will give it a account name, and it will have admin privileges. There…
-
Also having problems today. Worked fine yesterday, can't launch today. XP/SP3 system here. With limited privileges the launcher starts up, but crashes after login attempt. With admin privileges the launcher launches into minimized state with no way to maximize. Game client launched directly without launcher starts up…

Eh, I totally missed EQ but that sounds interesting. Yeah, thinking of the UNcontrol wizards I have been grouped with at times, yeah, those guys would not have a good time.
-
Eh, thanks to all the exploiters, glitchers and ninja-looters I guess? They are the reason we can't have nice things. Oh well, we will live.

It's the fundamental difference between Have-ers and Do-ers. A lot of people play to have. Have purple show on the character sheet. Have larger integers displaying. If something they can get shows larger integers nothing else is "worth getting". Then there is the cash shop. If you can sell stuff to get cash shop items,…

Talking about surprises. Has there always been a "coming soon" class emblem in the character creator? Honestly can't remember.
