I noticed this too. But let's be fair, they are addressing specific issues which relate to difficulty at specific points, e.g., Temple of Tiamat. I suspect the full difficulty problem, which includes the entire open-world end-game as well as instances, is one they're still scratching their heads at, or they may yet not…

I felt the post you quoted read as referring to the "in-game 1-percenters", which imo, probably has only at most a modest relationship to how much Zen people have bought or their real-world income/wealth status. These are, imo, the players who've progressed their characters to very high levels of in-game capability. Maybe…

I was in the middle of Dread Ring when MOd-6 went it. Pre-Mod6, I could do the campaign areas solo (as they're designed an intened to be done) though it was oftentimes touch and go. I had to plan attacking certain groups of mobs, and I'd lose health, and even occasionally die, especially in the campaign instances. For…

I think it unlikely that the update on the 23rd will change anything really significant. More likely it will be things that were intended to be part of Mod6 that weren't ready in time, and a few important fixes that have been found since. I think it's possible there may be some very slight adjustment to what we've been…

In many of them. In Neverwinter, pre-Mod-6, the Sharandar and Dread Ring campaigns were designed and balanced for solo play, and were added primarily to offer a solo/casual-friendly end game progression. If one already had max gear from other group sources such as dungeons, sure you found them too easy. But the people they…

Remove the enchants and salvage for a handful of AD.

I suspect they feel this is all short-term complaining. They may expect that most people will simply gear up on the new mod 6 far enough and quickly enough to be satisfied customers again in short order. I believe the massive reduction in normal player's combat potential was intentional to make room at the top for ever…

I didn't even get to the campaign instance; the first openworld groups with anything other than one-bar minions in it were killing me.
-
What I dislike is that the campaigns, which were intended as solo-end game progression are no longer solo friendly. After I hit level 70, I went with both new artifact items and blue level 70 gear elsewhere, and get constantly trounced. It's not fun.
-
I have my shield on a mouse button, and it still fails. I think it is definitely lag/latency related; it's much worse when I'm in a laggy zone. Also, Lunging Strike makes me cry, it works so bad right now. I'm always overshooting my target and ending up being attacked by the mobs all around me instead of being in front of…

There's thousands of people playing the game, and each may do a bunch of 95% upgrade attempts per day. Just based on the shear number of trials, it's not that unlikely -- It's only three million to one against for a set of five tries in a row; and in all those attempts people make something like this could easily have…
-
Something being unlikely, even astronomically unlikely, is not the same as being impossible. Rolling 100 on a 1-100 roll over and over a few times is unlikely, but not impossible. Rolling it a hundred or a thousand times in a row is also not impossible. The wiki-link you're disparaging is dead-right, there is absolutely no…

I would like to see a paladin. It's nice to see the role-pigeon-holed defensive battle cleric they added in mod 6, even though they apparently misspelled the class name pretty badly, but there's a missing iconic class here.
-
I'm trying hard to convince myself that it's worth staying and continuing. I'm not a high-end player; my best is usually the lower-end of the top tier. Prior to Mod-6, I had one character I had invested my time and effort into; I had Tier-2 gear from back when it was fairly plentiful; I had a few rank 7 regular enchants…
-
I find myself agreeing with this.

It used to take four.

They're "Antiquated" which means they are no longer available. A few sets were changed substantially a long time ago, and the existing pieces in the game at that time were grandfathered and renamed as "Antiquated". You can probably substitute the current sets and do fine, but there have a lot of changes in end-game since…

I'm having the same problem. It loads past the "CRYPTIC" logo onto the Neverwinter splash screen and then freezes. It shows "Material Files Reloaded" in the far lower-left of the screen.
-
I'm presently unable to complete login, apparently due to server performance, possibly from volume. I logged out an hour or so ago, and since, trying to log back in is very slow, then I start to zone in, get a message about how I can't connect to the server, and then eventually, I get the zone to render around me, but with…

I suspect most of these listings are there to store items for "free" on the market instead of using up inventory/bank space. Requiring a non-refundable listing fee based on the buyout price would be my choice, too. Or just always require a Starting Bid. If it's left blank, let it default to 1 AD. Some of those "Free…

If you don't have, or don't feel you can offer citations, then I don't put weight into that part of your argument. It seems to me you're trying to set yourself up as an authority and then perform an appeal to it, and then hide behind not being able to to offer any citations -- I'm not impressed. And, even if you did, that…
-
Please provide citations to these many MMOs. As has been said by others, I don't know of any at all, and it seems more likely to me this is just made up out of whole cloth to support your position. Overall, the idea may be well-intentioned, but it's terrible in both not being able to solve the problem it's a suggested fix…
-
Did you actually buy the Zen with your ADs, or just offer to buy Zen with your ADs? If you put up an offer to buy, at a price that was slightly more favorable to you, it may take some time for the going rate to drift over to it and clear your listing. If you want your AD back before then, you'll have to cancel your listing.

I'd like a professions "Options" button, both in-game and in the gateway, that would bring up a few settings so we each could configure for the behavior we prefer.

It's exactly this sort of question which statistical estimation is designed to answer. It doesn't answer it absolutely, that's an unknowable, but it can answer it to a very high, even an astronomically high degree of confidence. When we roll the d20 mentioned above 1000 times or 10000 times, this may sound like the…
-
I've been giving this problem some thought, too. My suggestion hasn't gelled quite enough to really lay out details as a recommendation, but I think well enough to offer the gist of it. I would not offer a rewards bonus for diversity, I would offer a diversity power buff. It would go something like this, each member of the…

If j0shi82 performed the test as he described, and if the devs made no further changes to the drop rate before implementing it on live, then his result of p=3/87% is very strong evidence. A 95% confidence interval around his result would be (2.74%, 5.01%). Further, if the null hypothesis tested were that the original drop…

I have a Thunderhead, and it's only for a theme aesthetic. I don't think I've ever noticed it proc. The armor enchantments in general seem very weak and pointless mechanically. Imo, they should be reworked until they're all roughly equally sought after. Moreso, given how expensive it is to make any of these and refine them…

You should be able to open your quest journal, find the quest listed in it, abandon this quest, and then go back and find the NPC who originally gave it to you to restart it from scratch.

This. Basically, you can talk generally about many problems that affect the community, but not about the specific problem one person is having and the particulars of how they're resolving or not resolving it with PWE. As an alternative, you take the body of your post, and mail it to one of the mods here as a question, and…
