  • Exactly. What people don't understand is that A LOT of AD is still in circulation from the exploit and theres no real way for cryptic to find it or justly deal with it without doing a complete wipe. This AD is going to cause serious inflation and the result of this is that players who join the game after the events, or…
  • LOL you really think the economy has been repaired? Wow... didn't realize people were that out of touch with reality... People still have TONS of ad... you think this wasn't going on for more than 7 hours and they're going to track down all the people who exploited it and somehow remove the AD from all of the normal…
  • Sorry but this is simply not true. You have to understand that A LOT of this duped AD is being pumped into the pockets of the average player. I for instance had 25 mil in auctions posted last night, all have sold as of this morning. Average players can post items for isnanely high prices and see their auctions bought in…
  • Theres a few ways. The younger a game is, the easier it is to make money because the less people know about the value of items. For example dragon eggs were something that wasn't really understood by most players for several weeks, they got them from the profession quest in neverdeath graveyard and when they heard they…
  • I've made over 20 mil AD legitimately and as much as it pains m e to give that up I do think this game needs a wipe. Exploits have ruined end game content, the foundry trivialized leveling for a lot of players, etc. With that said I think its important that Cryptic take the time to fix the many issues with this game before…
    in Wipe? Comment by jkaplan92 May 2013
  • Alright let me rephrase that. "Isn't going to sustain a substantial playerbase" theres a lot of mmos out there that are alive with niche playerbases, so I shouldn't have used dead in that sentence I guess. Asian mmos aren't really popular in the west (compared to western MMOs) so not sure what you're referring to there. I…
  • Sorry but you're wrong... I created this thread because I view this as a problem with the game... My issue is about 2/10 that I personally dislike the system, and 8/10s my fear that the system is just bad in general and will drive players away from the game thus making the game less enjoyable for me. This is an MMO... for…
  • Did you even read my post? It's not work to win... It's play this game for 10 hours a day for 20 years straight to win... Even if it took a year to get 5 or 6 rank 9's thats still too long. Welcome to 2013, people don't like grinding anymore, if you do I'm sorry because games that appeal to you are just going to die.
  • Theres 9... probably none on the AH because they're so ridiculous to make but on dragon there were several 8's on the AH as of 30 minutes ago.
  • This is aboslutely ridiculous. Cryptic you are losing all credibility for not responding to this issue and not punishing people for exploiting your game. What reason is there for honest players not to go buy a fatebender set and start farming castle never? We all know you won't take any action against exploiters. You will…
  • Guardian fighters are useless even in tier 2. I've been 3/4 castle never and done almost every other instance, trust me... you dont need a tank... 2 clerics is infinitely better.
  • What makes the Iouen stone better? It has less levels and doesn't it give less base stats? I really wish we had concrete info here.
  • I hit 60 in 17 hours 6 minutes played, guildy hit in 17 hours 4 minutes. I think we were probably world 1st and second but not sure. We didn't use AD to power level leadership. The only advantage I had was my one exp booster and my mount from my pack and my friend had his mount and 3 exp boosters, so you can do it really…
  • Let me explain my perspective for you. First of all, yes, the IP for this game is dungeons and dragons, but that doesn't mean this game needs to A. adhere as strictly as possible to the IP, B. try to recreate the experience of pen and paper in an online world or C. appeal strictly to fans of dungeons and dragons. Dungeons…
  • Playing SC2 anyone want to do some 2v2s, 3v3s, 4v4s, could get a group going for some random fun?
  • Progression = a guild focused on "progressing" through the games content IE trying to clear all the dungeons/raids or whatever else the game has to offer as fast as possible. @inconsiderate dungeons can still be progression. Not having raids is really not an issue at all. The only issue is when content isn't difficult…
  • For all the things people hate about SWTOR, I actually think the way they handled PvP gearing was the best approach any MMO has taken. Prior to playing guild wars 2 I thought "Okay, no gear differences = perfectly skill based pvp = awesome!" But in reality its not awesome, it becomes boring. People need that progression…
  • If I gave the impression that I think PvPers are the majority I didn't mean that at all. Vocal minority was probably the wrong term to use in my last post. To be more clear, I think that people who are more likely to be "PvPers" in this game are those who have been playing MMOs for a long time but probably haven't played…
  • My favorite movie and one that will probably go down as a classic is There Will Be Blood, highly recommend it. Some other favorites are: Oslo August 31st, The Prestige, and Se7en EDIT: Forgot to mention, Moonrise Kingdom and Fantastic Mr. Fox are both great too.
  • I get what you're saying, people often complain about PvP balance which is something thats really pretty subjective and I think that is what leads to a lot of arguments that have no real possible conclusions. So yeah, I know PvP forums can suck but I also think its important the Cryptic, or any company for that matter, get…
  • Thanks for the support. It sucks that the thread got derailed but I'm glad most of us were at least able to see eye to eye to some extent in the end, so hopefully it won't be as much of an issue in PvP related topics in the future. I really hope they add a pvp forum as well, I think it would be a really good first step for…
  • Thats difficult to answer at this point. I think that its safe to say guardian fighters and clerics will have the easiest time getting groups of the 5 classes, but I can't say whether or not it will be difficult for DPS at this point, it really just depends on what the class populations look like at launch and thats hard…
  • I agree with you completely. My first MMO was star wars galaxies and I still view that as the best game I've ever played and wish that modern MMOs would use more of the features that made that game so great (luckily I think they will soon as themepark seams to be dieing off and SOE looks to be returning to its sandbox…
  • I'm not saying nobody likes grinding, but I don't think the old-school grind can come close to the popularity of less grindy games, and I don't think its necessary. Guild wars 2 didn't suffer from the issue. The reason people quit games after leveling is because the end game is bad. People are occupied and content while…
  • I actually believe the opposite is true. The reason people quit is not that they reach maximum level too quickly, it's because developers invest too much money and time into the leveling experience that is by nature relatively short-lived. Look at SWTOR as an example. EA had a 200 million budget and invested almost all of…
  • I use steal time literally on cooldown, its that good, and I still think charisma is way better for my build. I get what your logic is but I just can't see the numbers even coming out close even in AOE heavy fights. 1% extra CD reduction will literally equate to 1% extra damage on my encounter powers if you had a long…
  • Play rogue, CW is more about AOE damage and control.
  • I think its VERY unlikely that wisdom would do more damage, and its virtually impossible with my build because my largest damage source is arcane missles which doesn't benefit at all from wisdom. The crit and the combat advantage damage synergize so well together with my build. I have the following feats: When you deal…
  • I'm not going to bother pointing out where I think you're wrong. We could have a 2 page discussion about it but as I said I'm done with this conversation. I know you support pvp, that post was a broad response to the various people I've been debating in this thread of which you are the latest. Whether I continue to debate…
