Excellent argument. I'm sure we'll see the next add campaign by Cryptic reading "Come play Neverwinter! - great game, but remember it's not solo friendly! Any questions, just ask ageoffan123 as he's solved the solo problem." /endsarcasm
I'll concede that the actual cost is not a huge problem, as others have pointed out; what else is there to really spend gold on. (which, seems strange to add pointless currency just for pots... but *shrug* they did it anyway) I should of titled this post: "Pots, the biggest TIME SINK in the game." or "Pots have turned me…
Fairly certain you missed the part where people were saying playing a Cleric is actually worse. People take the time to post; I take the time to read those posts. Though, not everyone shows the same courtesy apparently. ;)
I 100% agree with everything you've said OP. I only wish I shared your faith that it won't fall upon deaf ears. Sadly, a great, well presented post as this will hit the bottom of the pile and be buried within the void of the forums and covered by nonsensical, meaningless, poorly presented whines and gripes; probably in…
I've heard so many of my friends and guildmates say the same. Oh the irony. I guess my thoughts of rolling a Cleric to save on pots and kits are now out the window ;)
I won't argue that. One thing I should have mentioned in my original post; timing. It's not uncommon to see announcements made after the game has long since had the shiny and new wear off. Then, posting such announcements serve to keep the existing player base satisfied, and does little to harm potential newer players…
Tired of it too. But hey, that would ruin the peer pressure effect PWE has intended. "Oh look another person got a cool mount! Look how easy it is!... where's my credit card, Ima get one too!" And for all the messages, I may see someone actually ON one of those mounts, once a day.
Lol true story? ...this, this is why we have a stat sheet. If nothing more than to inspire deep thought, and confirm your suspicions that "that guy" was indeed wanking his yanker the entire time the rest of you pulled his weight.
Which would never happen. After all that would be admitting there's a problem to begin with. "officially". ;) Posts like that raise the eyebrows of newcomers, and they surely wouldn't want that.
900k is chump change. The numerous exploiters made more than that in hours. I'm not one for exploits, so I couldn't tell you how. But to honestly answer your question; and since you didn't specify morality restrictions; use the exploits.
While they're at it; moving the name display up off your eyebrows would be nice. In screenshots, I'd like to see my name displayed properly above my head... not stamped across my forehead. :rolleyes:
It's simple really. They made money by marketing a simple "Neverwinter will not be a pay to win game". Held true to that for 10 minutes, people left the game for other reasons; Now to make the money and fill in the gaps for the lost people, they need to ramp it up a bit. Hence why we'll continue to see more pay to win…
