  • LOL mate, I never said any of those things, I believe it was Krumple. I'm the one who agrees with you :)
  • Just as a quick note Krumple, you said "They can learn as they go. I'm talking about the ones that drag down the party with multiple fails because of them. This whole thing started over veteran players being able to run ahead and kill everything" Actually, nobody really cared if they ran ahead and killed everything. We…
  • Actually, they aren't screwed if the enchants they picked are not favorable in Mod 16, they are fine. That's what the exchange vendor is about. They will be screwed if the enchants they've now BtA'ed become nerfed down the track in Mod 17 or Mod 18
  • Thanks for all your help everybody, I'll try again. Not been able to log on much in last few days due to work so I'll see tonight.
  • LOL, that's awesome imagery. You should look for one of those old Bugs Bunny clips for something like that. And sadly, I reckon you are 100% right ....
  • His argument wasn't a fail because that was NOT his argument. Motu999 was pointing out that the only reason to do randoms is for the RAD. If you were just doing runs for the dungeon you would have and could have solo queued it. So, you were only in it for the RAD, in which case you gotta do it as a Random, which means you…
  • You can't have it both ways. First you are advocating people can just run ahead and do whatever they like because they have the speed and they can. Now you are saying everybody has to learn how to do the dungeon and read up on it beforehand. Now, obviously I'm putting words into your mouth but this is essentially what you…
  • Yeah, this is what I'm more afraid of. It doesn't say it anywhere but maybe there's a limit per character or account that isn't noted anywhere
  • Don't agree with everything you've said over the last few months, but I agree 100% in everything you've said in the above.
  • That's kind of what I was saying. They EXPECT to lose some veteran groups. But they are hoping the new blood will take up the slack. The problem here is if the Veterans that leave the game put too big a hole in things like Queues and Open world stuff (like Dragon Runs) which may cause those who weren't going to leave…
  • Yes, its a no win situation simply because you cannot help everybody all the time. The fact that they are allowing us to exchange stones is ALREADY A PLUS. 1) The price of enchants goes up and down depending on the perceived effectiveness of the enchant. Well, nothing we can do about that is there. At least we are allowed…
  • LOL, succinct, to the point, and 100% truth.
  • This is probably the best overall summary of what they are aiming at. New blood is always necessary. And they obviously feel enough of the old blood will stay regardless of what they do. The problem of course is that if too many of the old blood leaves, and queues for randoms dry up, then this will only encourage more old…
  • Why do you think they will hesitate? The majority of gamers will always want the end gear simply because its end gear. Nobody really cares what the numbers are. If it takes longer to get it then that happens. But they will still aim for it. The actual value is irrelevant. Yes, if they are number crunchers, they will…
  • Hmm ok, somehow people are seeing a whole lot more altruists then I ever have in this game. Nearly everybody I've seen run that runs ahead, JUST RUNS AHEAD. I would have no problem if they are killing mobs along the way. But this rarely happens. Lets be honest. Most of the time, the people running ahead don't care to stop…
  • I wouldn't worry about it. There will always be another special. That's about the only constant with Cryptic. And I can't recommend to anybody to buy or convert or invest in any NWO atm. There is too much up in the air with this Mod. I'm really really hoping it works but I suspect a bug ridden mess.
  • OK, just answer me this. WHY RUN AHEAD? You are going to get stopped at the purple circle. You cannot proceed until everybody enters. So you are running ahead just so you can do your banking/etc while waiting for people to get there??? This is an MMO, supposedly co-op play. Why not slow down and help the new guys who…
  • Hmm, so you can keep chasing the BIS and sell the HAMSTER to all those poor plebs who don't know better. Awesome. Yes, they'll be with you forever, just like with every other piece of gear you pick up. Just like every other game out there. Mods become BtC the moment you stick them on in SWTOR, weapons/gear become BtC or…
  • M16 is going to be a very big list ...
  • The casual player who isn't going to be speculating on the market is not going to care that its BtA. The only people that this is going to impact on are the people who are planning on buying and selling stuff with the foreknowledge that they have now - that there is going to be a vendor. Buying Dreads now for 20k each and…
  • This is similar to the upgrades in STO. The differences in a Mark 14 and Mark 15 is marginal in effect, but massive in cost. I don't think this is a bad idea. In fact, I think its great since the crazy people will still go for 15s regardless of cost but the more casual player with lower grade enchants wont be completely…
  • Whats handholding got to do with anything. It's just plain rude to run ahead and leave everybody behind. Its an MMO. If you wanted to solo, go private queue and solo that. And besides which, WHY?? You still have to wait for said newb to get to the purple circle before you can proceed right? Running ahead achieves zero…
  • MOD16 was made with the majority in mind. That's all Kreatyve was referring to. Got nothing to do with the Zen shop. Besides, what overhaul do they need to make for the zen shop anyways. Nobody is holding a gun to your head to buy zen, or buy stuff from the zen shop. Who the hell knows what they are thinking when they make…
  • But why the need to run ahead at all? The poor newbie behind you is still going to have to catch up to you before the purple circle allows you to proceed to the boss doesn't it? So you either all have speed or you are still limited by the speed of the slowest person.
  • Same here. I don't see the need to run thru everything in a dungeon, ignoring everything and just kill the boss and leave. If you find running thru dungeons and the like tedious then this entire genre might not be right for you. DnD is about dungeon crawls and fighting mobs. Not speed racer. Then again, I guess its the…
  • Depends on your point of view. From the point of view of a newbie, when you see so called Veterans run to the end of the dungeon while you are still halfway thru, this movement speed they have is discouraging. It discouraged one guy out of my group to just stop playing after the first month or so of this. Its not a race,…
  • Yeah, that's probably right. For people that are just changing stuff for themselves, it makes little difference. But if you were planning on speculating by buying a whole bunch of "useless" enchants now and flood the market afterwards ...
  • I for one welcome our new Insect Overlords :)
  • Ah cool, thanks. In that case, I don't have any issues. But that's just for me. I don't buy and resell stuff on the AH. I just buy for my own toons to use.
