Put in a TRADE and LFG CHANNEL already, make it part of the settings options (not some hidden channel you need to join with a /command). Chat bans galore for any that violate general chat with trade/group spam.
Virtually non existent? I see countless gold farmer spam fill up my chat window and scroll for several seconds before it stops. Only to happen again less than 30 secs later on another alt. That is totally OPPOSITE to virtually non existent. Is there a level requirement for zone chat in Protector's enclave? If there isn't,…
I originally rolled half-orc bc I thought the racials were perfect for a GWF - +2 Dex, + 2 Con or Str, +5 crit dmg, +10% run speed entering combat. I just didn't like the way they looked. 2 Dex as a GWF secondary stat is 2% crit chance, 1% aoe dmg reduction, 1% deflect chance. 2 Str is 2% dmg, 2% dot reduction, 2% Sta…
Thanks for the input, yea, the drake would be nice, I got both the Reaver and Duelist cheap off the AH and was wondering which one to go with until I can get a better upgrade. I figured Reaver for slightly better survivability, I just wasn't sure about dps since it seemed close.
The definition that says when they drop the "open beta" label and tack on the "launch" label, all the character progress, money, zen spent, economy will remain the same.
That's fine, like I said, they can label it whatever they want. But their ACTIONS show they are treating it as a launch. They accept money. Instead of wiping, they do a rollback and issue an apology. Let's look at it this way. What will be different if they ever decide to drop the "open beta" label?
They can call it whatever they want, their ACTIONS prove it's a soft launch. Beta: Players are testers. Players are expected to find bugs and exploits. No money is accepted by game company. No apologies issued for game breaking exploits because it's a testing phase. Game is wiped prior to launch because of bug/exploit…
They've also opened the Zen Market and have been accepting money. Regardless of whatever label they choose to give the status of the game, it doesn't excuse them from certain responsibilities of a Live game that's accepting money. Case in point, despite the numerous exploits, the rollback, they won't wipe the game. You…
Testing means finding a bugs and reporting it, NOT exploiting it to an extreme and ruining the ingame economy. And this is also how you know Neverwinter right now is a soft launch, not an open beta, since they aren't wiping.
I played FFXI. I quit when I wasn't able to level for a week and sat around city spamming chat for a group, just to level. The reason why no MMO's have done it since, is because it's a dead system. Inflexible and niche appeal. It's like subscription MMO's, they're dead, too. The genre is constantly changing, forced…
Was D&D ever massively multi-player? Haven't played for ages, but last I remember, it was small party campaigns. Not with 100's, 1000's of other players. Raiding is coming to NW, too. NW is an MMO. There have been MMO's previously that had forced grouping to level, but they aren't as flexible, or have the wide spread…
I use the gateway to search by level. Lets you search even the sub-menus (helm, arms, etc). Granted, it's a pain to have to go back and forth between ingame and the gateway, but it's a workaround until PWE/Cryptic get their act together.
You shouldn't have thread titled it "treat it like an open beta" if you didn't want to acknowledge that people have different ideas of what constitutes an open beta. I'd be happy to treat it as an open beta if they did a character wipe and didn't accept money. Since they didn't, I'm treating it as a soft launch.
It’s accepted that churn is part of the industry. And looking at the success rate of MMO’s and habits of gaming customers, they aren’t wrong in treating it this way. It’s basically a cash grab, if people stay, bonus, if they don’t, no biggie, they made their money, move on to the next MMO. It’s accepted that it’s not worth…
I'd like a full blue (rare) set of gear (character bound of course), incentive to stick it out to level 60. Bags, companion, mount, respecs would be nice. But I'm expecting something that isn't sold in the zen store.
So now you're an official PW representative? Face it, you stuck your foot in your mouth by insulting me, now you're trying to cover it up, just stop it already. All you had to do was say there's no official word, or better yet, not post at all if all you can do is insult people.
