The shard system doesn't work unless you put huge amounts of computing power behind it. The only company I knew who had all players on one MMO server was EvE and they use a supercomputer. PWE trying to do the same kind of thing on their usually shoe string budget is asking for failure. I have a constant 200ms ping and…
1) No, this is a below average entry compared to most AAA MMO, the foundry is its only saving grace. 2) No, WoW has undeniably more content and more diverse experiences than any other MMO (except maybe EvE). It has been constantly in development since it was released, and has a very fluid combat system and PvP. If you…
If you need a more in depth explanation of what I mean here, someone put it rather well before I even turned up. SOE pumped the AD into the market with founders packs and it will cause this.
They have said no more rollbacks for a reason. This kind of stuff plays right into the publishers hands, I wouldn't be surprised if they left this in the game on purpose. By pumping so much AD into the market it inflates the price and pretty much forces more people to buy more zen if they wish to progress their character.
I'm also specced to give allies 80% combat advantage damage reduction on heal too as well as foresight, so you can see where this extra reduction OP isn't liking is coming from. Still it wouldn't be 90% though, maybe you could reach that with 2 stacking but even then I doubt it, more like 3-4 maybe *_*
Yeah sometime I don't even get to drop my shield before I get a CW CC me then then I'm just chain cc'd to death, even with the shield down if I cannot use other heals it doesn't take too long to kill me, if he or a GWF can kick me out of the circle I am 2 shot pretty much. CC really does need diminishing returns in PvP,…
You should stop listening to op who is either under-geared or bad. I can and have been killed inside a circle many times (not to mention how much knockback and cc a group has) you just need to focus healers, which all good teams do and use your cc. It really isn't difficult, this is why I have stopped playing PvP now. You…
Pretty much this, I have 8500 GS 27% damage reduction and even in astral shield the rogue daily can hit me for 20k. Outside one of the pay to win crowd can pretty much one shot me from cloak. Astral Shield is far from OP, classes get knockback and a lot of CC. Learn to use it.
The sheer idiocy you fanboys show will never ceases to amaze me. So I guess you are going to claim because J2SP exists PoE is pay to win. I guess you haven't even looked at how either of the games work. PoE has a purely cosmetic cash shop, any purchases from 3rd party websites is a bannable offence. I already said the…
Path of Exile is as much of an MMO as this with all the instancing and that isn't pay to win, Planetside 2 is all sidegrades and cosmetics and in game prices are affordable. I'm sure there are more, that's just the last 2 I played.
It still defeats the object of working to get the gear in the first place. Also how many groups are asking for 10k GS+ and not allowing free to play players to join. Just because the PvP is a pathetic afterthought here doesn't justify making the whole game pay to win. The main target audience are still more than stupid…
No I won't be leaving just yet, but I'll probably take a break and see if things get better/worse. I'm guessing the latter when they start adding to the cash store. This definitely isn't instilling me with the confidence to hand over any money though.
Pretty much this. I hit max level yesterday and do you know how long I played this game since then, less than an hour. I was really enjoying PvP and not feeling too disadvantaged due to not paying money (other than the 110% mounts), it was pretty fun even though it is a very old and one dimensional system. I'm currently at…
Did you even read the thread? 70% of the people are not even 60. I have been waiting an hour plus from 30 up, although it's probably a coding issue brought in with one of the patches.
To be fair if you are questioning whether they actualy HAVE a CS department then I would question why you are still trying to give money to them. You've obviously called the number and seen, last ticket I submitted I waited 6 days and got this as a response. Hello jason I understand you have a gameplay inquiry. Here are…
This made me laugh pretty hard and is probably the best you will ever get out of PWE, hence why I won't spend a cent even though I can. If you end up bitten they will do literally nothing but give you unrelated automated responses.
As if PWE would be interested in sorting out a customers issues. I've heard of people trying to ring that number for days on end with no answer, I really wouldn't be surprised if its a dead line or an empty office. This shows how much they care about customer service.
This is exactly what is wrong with the gaming community, the influx of facebook and mobile device stupidity make people think comparing a MMO to Farmville is a valid comparison. Please do us all a favor and go back to angry birds or post this on twitter or something.
Then if they demand on going with the same kind of system as Eve they should back it up with the same kind of money and computer power. CCP have a supercomputer to run their cluster and I can tell you I ping like 30ms to it and my US friends get no more than 60ms. If they can't do that then it's not a model they should be…
They won't give an official answer because they don't want to admit how half baked and poorly implemented this shard system theirs is. The only people saying 200ms ping is not a big issue really can't be serious gamers. I find PvP unplayable and the double animation bug ect just plain annoying. Such a shoddy gaming…
