I've stopped playing in any true sense of the word. I login, invoke and collect the daily VIP key and that's it. I don't even bother to open a lockbox. Recently I've become lax about some of my alts too, so they mostly remain unused and unloved. My main play time is now spent in another game, which is gradually drawing me…

I almost can't type for laughing. 15K. Per week.. Brilliant.

Why is this in the XBox forum?

Strums post says 6am to 6pm PDT, which is 13.00 to 01.00 UTC. Also not 13 hours hehe: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1206235/extended-maintenance-10-13-at-6am-pdt So the servers will be down for around half a day. Give or take. Maybe.

Just to flip this a little. Imagine if you formed a guild 3 years ago. Players and officers came and went, new blood comes in. Guild life goes on on, all seems fine then one day you, the founder and leader, gets voted out of power by an officers' coup. You realise too late that you promoted one bad apple who gradually…

I have two accounts and did not get an email on either of them and my wife has also not had one. I only found out because of this thread (and I thought it was a wind up at first!) A sticky at the top of the forum would seem prudent.

It's all starting to sound a bit far fetched imo.

Mate, you need to take a break. Suggest you download another FtP game or two and try 'em. Chances are they'll remind you of all the stuff you like about NW and you'll be ready to dive back in. Clunky combat seems to be rife in most of those games. There is only one I'm still dabbling with but the jury is still out.

I truly believe that moderators should not get drawn into these debates. We've seen the consequences of that before. You are either a moderator or a punter. I don't believe you can be both, despite the valiant efforts of the new mods. And glib suggestions like "just do dungeons" are not the solution.
-
Yes, there will definitely be at least one person who will notice. They'll be on the forum 20 seconds after the server goes down explaining how their world has ended because they were not quite all the way through their invoking/profs/dungeon/farm/whatever. It's a different person each week but there is always at least…

Hmm. Interesting idea. A bigger wheel would certainly be less effort for the hamster so could led to a longer MTBFH* but on the other hand it would rotate more slowly so we might get a slightly slower response speed. It's a difficult IT decision for sure. (* Mean Time Between Fatigued Hamster)

Guildies "taking away" their contributions when they leave a guild is a non-starter for me. It would just lead to griefing and blackmail. A donation is a donation, not a loan. I guess there could be scope to credit a kicked member with some compensation vouchers, not to the full value of their donations but something to…

Click on "Arc News" at the top of the page. It affects all games and related sites. Sounds like a server upgrade to me. Maybe they are adding a bigger hamster.

Probably worth pointing out that we've only got one side of the story here and that some of the stuff being said is pure conjecture. Having said that, this wouldn't be the first guild to self-destruct in an MMO. Leaders can get bored or power-crazed and, yes, all guilds are a dictatorship even if some are benign. And,…
-
There. That is the best summary I've seen so far. Variety? Nope.
-
On balance I'd rather not see such a thing in the game but it does have its place. In most MMOS you'll find guilds which are formed and run with a single objective, be it to be top of a PVP league, to own a city, to have the most MadeUp points, or whatever. If you join one of those guilds you are signing up to contribute…

It's kinda a hopeless thing for small guilds but: http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Stronghold

I've been dipping my toe into a few other games recently and it really has brought home to me just how "rigid" neverwinter has become. Everywhere you look there is potential for introducing some variety into our gaming day but we always seem to end up funnelled into doing the same stuff over and over. Same enemies, same…

For me, making everything BtA would be perfect but I'd settle for the ability to convert unbound and BtA stuff into BtC stuff so it will stack. If someone drags one stack onto another just prompt them with "warning, this will make them all bound" and then bind 'em if they confirm.
-
Good rant, but technically it is not a mistake. And would not come anywhere close to making my list of the top ten biggest mistakes in NW. Edit: Ignore me. I've just realised who you are.
-
Yeah, it's that trust thing again. We've seen a few times recently where we've been reassured about forthcoming changes and then seen the implementation of those changes be quite different to our expectations. The words of reassurance were not untrue but did not reveal the whole picture. Some examples: 1. Telling us that…
-
I assume that they have decided a rework is necessary because there are suddenly loads more trade bars in circulation, because anyone with VIP is gaining a few bars every day via the daily lockbox key. You'd hope that the thinking would be "Hey, we need to give these people some new stuff to buy with all those bars" but…
-
And that really freaks me out. It's so bleedin' obvious yet it continues to happen. Those bots must be abandoning the instance before they have completed it so they can continually re-enter it to farm whatever they farm. That is not normal player behaviour. A real player might abandon once or twice but that would be it. So…
-
The replay thing definitely needs some randomness. NW is the only game of this type I have played where pretty much *all* of the mobs and treasures are in the exact same place each and every time. And the mobs are stationary. All mobs should wander around their spawn area a little and the should be some wider-ranging…

History shows that whatever they do it will not be entirely for the benefit of the players. It will mostly be for the benefits of the balance sheet. I'll probably hedge my bets by converting half into Coal Wards and keeping half in reserve. Maybe they'll just expand the TTB store to include a much wider range of stuff. Or…

How many months have you got?

Next time you see a bot send them a few friend requests and also try to trade with them or invite them into your group. There is a decent chance you will be able to disrupt their (relatively dumb) preprogrammed sequences by sticking pop-ups on their screen that they do not expect. Of course, it's a drop in the ocean but at…

If it was quick and easy to fix they would have fixed it and done an emergency patch. So that means it is tricky to fix, which means the fix may not be 100% as we might expect. This Thursday may not be the end of this particular tale. Be afraid...

Scroll up and read the sticky. Its got a bit of a show-stopping bug atm so they've suspended it. I'm sure it will return soon enough.

I think there is a decent chance you will get 66.6% of your wishes. I can see them introducing another mount upgrade token to give us the 140% and mount buff. I can also see us really not liking the price. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, as a fat sweaty purveyor of popular rock once sang...
