i gave up. i only tried a f2p because POE did it so well. at the end of the day, the monetization model is the real problem here. as others have pointed out, it's adversarial, and it's little more than a skinner box. the model is guiding the terrible design choices imo.
i'm with OP and his frustrations over the upgrade apologists. the system has always been terrible--terrible enough to run off every friend i have coerced into playing with me--but the failures are all the more glaring with wards costing an arm and a leg. i don't know how typical a player i am, but if you want me to spend…
everything ironzerg is saying is on the money. i can barely log in right now--much less play--and i love grinding. the thing that makes grinding so rewarding is inching diligently towards a distant finish line AND CROSSING IT. but you've erased the finish line entirely. there's really no debate about how demoralizing and…
agree with OP, cubes of augmentation being maybe the most glaring instance. the whole thing is a nightmare, frankly. there's no endgame to speak of, so you roll an alt, but your alt sucks forever because you probably don't have a dozen coals and 2 million AD lying around. i can't imagine being a new player, and an MMO that…
it's a bit long for sure. my major complaint is how god awful and glitchy the fishing is. it may well be the least satisfying mechanic in the history of gaming. not to mention the 5 second respawn timer on crabs. how did they ruin fishing? even torchlight has better fishing. just rip wow's model. that may be the only thing…
if you get this set nerfed, it's not going to be a sensible nerf. it's going to get flattened. I'm still mad about the storm spell nerf. i'm still mad about the dragon's hoard nerf. hell, i'm still mad about coal wards from invocation being nerfed to powerball status--and bound nonetheless. I play cw and gwf. I've spent…
definitely the worst daily by a large margin. possibly the worst quest in the game: way too many boots, wolf is out of sight the whole time, and it routinely gets stuck. hard pass on this every time, unless I'm trying to punish myself for something.
I'd love to see fishing. i wouldn't even care if it were profession-related or not. at present there is NOTHING to do while waiting for a queue because the lairs make questing a nightmare. (it will pop 1 min from the exit, you'll reluctantly leave because you've been in queue for half an hour, and you'll be standing at the…
when I minimize the game, which I do often, my cursor is frozen in the middle of my screen. it did not do this until strongholds. I'm running win 7 64. needless to say, this is a colossal pain in the ***. please, please, please resolve.
not sure where the idea that we need an AD sink comes from. GMOPS and companion upgrades are mind-boggling sinks. unless you're running a 20+ leadership farm, you will never have nearly enough AD to crack 2.5 ilevel.
