I'm also sitting in queue and never seeing a match. Also, got a leaver penalty from someone else declining. Saw several attempts to queue, but then reverts back to waiting for queue. Looking at the leaderboards, I'm guessing the group queue is working as it appears that 34 pages of players have successfully played multiple…
I have always considered and treated the Tarmalune Tradebars as something "special" for the "pay-to-play" players. The items in the Trade Bar merchant either helped the pay to play players do things faster or provided them items of distinction with the free to play players. The introduction of VIP has "opened" this up to…
I've been lucky in getting a number of coalescent wards from invoking. I've been averaging 1 to 2 per month across 8 chars invoking everyday. Some months are drier than others. It appears to me that to get any kind of benefit from "lottery" type of drops (especially Cryptic's), you need to increase your odds by increasing…
In my opinion, after the first 2 runs, it's not worth farming because I have other things to do in game like farming for my stronghold and farming for my RP stones. The normal dungeons don't drop enough AD and I don't have time to run epics and do my stronghold farming as wells as my RP farming. I would love to see Cryptic…
Ok. I finally was able to run an epic CC and confirmed that I got 805 rAD which is different than the 280 rAD that I was getting from the nCC. It would appear then that darkstarcrash's interpretation is correct. Thank you.
Except it wasn't that way before the patch. The amount received varied with each run. One run I got 1500. Another run I got 184. Another run I got 2000. After the patch, it's 280 all the time. Your interpretation is nice, but it's just that - an interpretation. I prefer to get clarity from a Dev one way or the other. Also,…
I ran nCC when I noticed this pattern. I'm only getting 280 with the VIP bonus after finishing the first 2 runs. First 2 runs got the 3000+ each with VIP bonus. The third run got 280. The fourth run got 280. I waited 6 hours. The fifth run got 280. No randomness in the drop rate even after a 6 hour break. This feels like…
Yes, that is what scott said and that is what was happening prior to the last patch. After the patch, I was only getting 280 rAD every run after the first 2 runs. How many times do I have to explain this? I want to confirm that I'm the only one that just had a bad run of "luck" or that other players are also having the…
The questions is NOT about the first 2 runs. It's about the runs after those two. How much are you getting? I'm getting only 280 rAD and the cap is 7200 rAD. That means we would have to run the dungeons 26 more times in order to cap if this is what everyone is getting or averaging for the runs AFTER the first 2 runs.
It's called finding out if this is in fact a bug, first by asking other players if they are getting the same experience and confirming an actual pattern and then, going to the bug section and submitting an "actionable" bug report as opposed to just "whining" about something not working and crying for cryptic to just fix it…
Also, check the log window. The loot drops show up by default in green text and is easy to spot. The automatic loot given is shown write before the log entry for deleting the boss as far as I've seen. I haven't tried the epic dungeons yet. PUGs don't interest me there lol. But in the regular CC I'm getting the 3000 rAD for…
This isn't a rollback scenario. Those only happen to "remove" things that have happened (added to the game content, inventory, etc.). They have done double AD weekends in the past to compensate for "down" server time.
I'm a casual gamer. This game has decided to employ a specific game mechanic that changes how this game used to play. This is not an entitlement question. The point of my "complaint" is to point out that devs did not consider this scenario when they changed "rules of the game". Regardless of pay to play or free to play,…
I believe the players who did all the number crunching and enchantment ranking have long left this game as I haven't seen anyone recently post numbers to "justify" their claims as to which enchantment is the "best". I still use Vorpal as there are still websites out there with the detailed explanation of the math that goes…
My questions for R.A. Salvatore: 1) Where do you draw your inspirations from for creating your characters and the world around them? Are they all strictly from D&D lore or do you have other major sources of inspiration? 2) Which comes first for you when writing a new story? character and setting creation or storyline…
I confirmed yesterday that while on a losing team and having at least 600 points, I got a free banner along with the lockbox of banners. So, no, dragon armor is not zen made armor. But ofc, spending zen would make it faster to get.
I used to make over 100k per day with 6 chars before the nerf to leadership. Had plenty of time to pick and choose which part of the game I wanted to play each day. Somedays I felt like PvP. Others, dungeons and skirmishes. And others, Sharandar and Dread Ring. After two days of trying things out, I can max out 1 char…
I just ran a PvP stronghold round. It lasted 30 mins. I did not get a AD reward. I hope this is changed as it seems the new question is to have fun playing new content or play tired old content to make AD.
Ok. I think I've answered my own question. Just played my second round of Stronghold PvP and won. My rewards this time included 3 banners, vouchers for stronghold, and the lockbox containing 2 additional banners and voucher. Good news, lockboxes appear to be identical as they also stack in inventory and identical in…
I'm hoping this is premature and that's why I'm raising the question to see if anyone else has found an in-game method of obtaining these lockbox keys.
No, this is different than Preservation wards. You had the option (a bad idea) to refine without a preservation ward. This time, so far as I've been able to discover, I can only get the banners from PvP. They are only given in lockboxes. You have to open the lockbox with the specific stronghold lockbox key in order to get…
My top 3 things to fix: 1) Foundry - relevance to players (rewards) and bug fixes 2) PvP - Better system overall with goal to eliminate campfire sitting and then everyone waiting idly while the clock slowly ticks down. PvP below lvl 70 is a lot more fun than Lvl 70 PvP. Player match ups are better because the differences…
All I can say is if stronghold pvp is anything like regular (5v5) PvP, then this game is done. I just finished 2 straight matches of mismatched teams. my team with 0 kills out of all 5 players and the other team with chars who can't die even with 3 v1. Now picture that with 20 v 20 with PvP guilds. Solo play is dead in…
Sharandar daily quests reward 1 Green Thaum stone each. If you do all 9 daily quests, that's 9 stones 2500 RP points each. These will help rank up all enchants including weapon and armor enchants. With that in mind, use the enchantments (Rank 5 is my preference) on your artifacts (not weapon artifacts). For weapon…
