  • I believe the intention is to utilize overload slots to give set-like bonuses.
  • To refine a lvl70 item, you will need lvl70 greens, blues, and purples. The only lvl60 item that refines into the new artifact main hand is the old artifact main hand. For an item to qualify for refinement, its level must be equal to or greater than the level of the item you are refining.
  • Hmm it will take 334 120xp(ie 40k xp) tasks to get from 20 to 21 with the current information. The level 20 task was made a 16hr task, so you would most likely end up using Spellplague at 6hrs to get xp and AD. Lets use 6hrs as an average time. Some might use more or less time tasks. 334/9 task per session x 6 hrs =223…
  • I think the engine thinks the older dungeons are of the level they were created for even with scaling of monsters to Epic for the Epic Dungeon versions. If this is the case, they are not considered lvl60 dungeons even at Epic ranking.
  • I believe this has something to do with the current graphics engine system used by the Cryptic engine. The game has a certain "texture budget". This is the maximum number of textures allowed on screen at any one time. For some reason, the programmers for the Tiamat encounter, either did not know or ignored the "texture…
  • Mod 6 or 7 is likely to tie into "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" which is the next story arc for WotC. Likely to see 4 lair/dungeons for each evil element, completing each will be necessary to open the final heroic encounter which will likely be an encounter with Jubilex, Lord of Oozing. The start of Epic…
  • What's worse than players AFKing or humping the campfire? Players who know their abilities lag out the encounter and repeatedly use them to grief the rest of the players at an encounter because they can. When you cannot move due to the server freezing due to 1 million+ spam from Astral Seal+Burning Guidance+Shared Burdens…
  • Note it says average. While the ICD may be somewhere near 30s for non-foundry, for some classes and those with only 4% to get a drop, it can take anywhere up to 3 mins to get a drop. Your time may vary, but at most those times are fair for most of the classes in this game. Also most grinding would usually be done inside a…
  • There was a post/quote by Cryptic dev/producer that a level increase was coming "soon". Mod 6 seems about right to me.
  • 1. Level increase to 65 or 70 2. RP cost to upgrade current artifacts to level 65-70 tier 3. New Class, Druid, Bard or Paladin. I would really like to see Warlord. 4. New Race. Gith-zerai? 5. New Artifact Equipment, Ring Sets. 6. New Major Region with new host city. Luskan or Waterdeep or Silverymoon. 7. New Map Interface,…
  • Artifact Equipment to Epic = 500000 RP Artifact Equipment from Epic to Legendary = 4000000 RP I know the above figures are not exact but pretty close for sake of the argument. Most likely RP drop is about 500 RP. Granted you can get up to 10k RP is one drop if you are very lucky, but it is very unlikely you will get stacks…
  • Ok, if you are not going to a queue system, could you at least auto form the 25 randoms into 5 groups, semi balanced based on the information the server will have as to who will be there? And maybe a quick fix for Astral Seal lag, to only be able to get burning guidance from a DC in your group.
  • The School of Necromancy was brought around by study of the plane of negative energy. Mages of this school were generally called "necromancers". Technically its a catch all term to cover any person who wants to use undeath in some way or form, whether it be to attain lichdom, or just rule the world via undeath and a cold…
  • The Enchanter is a specialist in Enchantments. All magic items are enchanted items some how some way. Even artifacts were designed for some purpose by some mage in the past. I believe in 3rd and 4th editions, an enchanter could spend xp to enchant items, basically deciding if they would rather level or craft a blade or…
  • General using your arcane gifts to deceive others in normal society, such as to be con artist or flim flam man is generally discouraged. But magic like people are not really bad or good, but formed by their surroundings and environment. Realm laws would not look favorably upon a wizard charming and bilking people of their…
  • Also Clerics receive their power from a divine. If they abuse this power, their divine can remove those powers and leave them powerless. If a priest of Kelemvor started animating the dead and causing desecration, he would lose his powers and most likely have a bunch of angry undead to eat him.
  • Abjuration school is focused on protective spells, as well as spells which cancel or interfere with other spells, magical effects or supernatural abilities, such as Break Enchantment, Dimensional Anchor, Dispel Magic or Remove Curse. Wizards who specialize in this school are known as Abjurers. Alteration/Transmutation…
  • Yes, you can view the chest. If you find it acceptable, you can accept. By accepting, you use up your key. If you decline, you can open the next chest.
  • Necromancers are mages who specialize in Necromantic magic. This usually pertains to rituals and magic dealing with using the power of the negative elemental plane. Draining souls or raising the dead are generally not considered heroic feats. This would make it very hard for there to be a hero version of the necromancer.…
  • I found it very odd that you were not auto-placed into a team upon entry into that instance, like you would in a skirmish or dungeon. Dropping 25 ppl into a instance and basically saying "you guys figure it out" was probably not the best implementation. Players will always tend to figure out the "path of least resistance".…
  • You can already get a random Blue Items for winning. That's 300-600 RP already. I could see maybe adding a Refinement Cache to the Glory store, but I cannot see them dropping RP stones as a reward just for winning 1 match. You could also purchase Purple PvP gear for refinement as well, making a 600-1050 RP based on item.…
  • You only need to use 1 Linu to unlock making treasures, whether that is intended or not is up for question, but it is how it currently works. The extra treasure should be considered a supplement. You should at least be attempting the Tiamat encounter and at least score a win now and then. It's not impossible although there…
  • Pretty rare to see an afk before phase 1, they do happen(bots, players trolling the event and hoping you win it for them). If after phase 1, and it looks like the encounter is a bust/fail, I have seen the few start afking at the campfire. It is even more likely when phase 2 is over and not all dragon heads are in the kill…
  • Key gets you either Dragon Templar Arms, Incantations of the Dragon Queen, or random artifact belt. If you want the arms or the book or don't have an artifact belt you want yet, go for it. Empire Treasure give you 200 pts for the horde reclamation, for basically the daily tokens you get by completing the daily's in WoD and…
  • They need to change it from server population to population of players in Well of Dragons. Possibly some kind of count based on around the time Tiamat resets (:25-:30 of the hr) til Tiamat's doors reopen (:00 of the hr). Server population will included Bots not doing any meaningful content, which would be a unfair hit to…
  • The main problem is every customers "acceptable" level of grind is not the same. It is even worse going from country to country. Koreans seem to love their grind and grind MMO's. This seems to carry over to most of the Asian nations, not all but most. The Americas and Europe have a much less tolerance for "unnecessary"…
  • Green Items (same item type) 200 RP, (not same item type) 100 RP Blue Items (same item type) 600 RP, (not same item type) 300 RP Purple Items (same item type) 2100? RP, (not same item type) 1050? RP Same item types means using a weapon in a weapon artifact or using a belt in a belt artifact. Note: Some weapons do not give…
  • The 1st/2nd/3rd in that listing is actually 5th boon/6th boon/7th boon. Meaning if you pick that boon it starts at the lowest which is 5th tier boon, the next rank is when you get the 6th boon and the final rank is when you get the 7th boon. Picking one of the 5th boons locks you into that set, you cannot pick separate…
  • Hasn't every class been reviewed now except HR and SW? Which would make them likely due for a review pass before the rest are reviewed again. Think it was 1st GF, 2nd GWF, 3rd CW, 4th TR and DC which would make 5th HR and SW before the cycle repeats.
  • If you can get them to slot the soul. I swear the last few runs almost all the other members of the team decided to not want to use their soul to stone the big breathe attack, I always had to drop mine and hope soulforged carried me thru the 2nd breathe, and utter doom if a 3rd on got off...
