Re-introducing the Foundry, or some variant, is one of the things I still hope happens because of Gearbox influence. It would be a sign to old players that the game is coming back, that the crass monetization schemes are finally behind us, or at least being offset by other, better things. It's why I still log in about once…

Depends on what you mean by "alive". From what I've seen, day to day there are not that many active daily players in-game, as compared to the way things were maybe 3-4 years ago. There are still a hardcore contingent of regular players that actively post forum threads and play in game, and the marketing still draws in new…

Said every player after mod 3 (Black Ice), and mod 5 (Tyrranical), and mod 7 (Twisted), and mod...well, you get the idea. "Foreseeable future" is only accurate if you can only see 6 months ahead. By this time next year, BiS gear will be whatever the next zone / map offers.

Maybe not a nerf...just more of a struggle. Instead of a simple couple of keystrokes - why not make it more 'engaging' by having players do the same stupid craptastic finger twisting motions they do while 'fishing'? Remember when they 'enhanced' the Winter Fest fishing this way? It's probably going to be something similar…

Why pay? You can jump now. Survival is overrated. It's the fastest way to leave.

It's now June 2...or over 3 weeks since a Cryptic Rep said you were working on 'fixing' the forums. Like I suspect a lot of the readers of the forum, I wear glasses (and have a form of astigmatism). I randomly pulled up one article about the badness of using white on dark text for astigmatic readers. There are many to…

LOLZ!!!! He's the new EP, not to be confused with the last guy in this role, or the guy he replaced or the guy he replaced or the guy he replaced or the guy he replaced. Wait a minute...I sense a trend here.

I log into my account only sporadically now - about once every 2 weeks, mostly to just update the game engine. I check on the one guild I'm in - at present it has officially about 1/3 of all slots filled. There are maybe 10% of the guild's membership actively playing in the game since the end of January. Most stopped…

This right here is the only reason I haven't uninstalled. I almost did way back during the kerfuffle of Mod 6 (EE). Stupidly deleted 4 toons and left only 1 hanging on. I really regretted that months later when i came back after Underdark was released. Lesson learned - current game truly sucks for me, but I have some small…

I think the key piece of that is the "IP" comment. Gearbox owns the Borderlands IP lock, stock and barrel, for example. But in the case of the Cryptic games they noted, they will own NONE of the IP. Star Trek belongs to ViacomCBS and WoTG owns the Neverwinter IP. I think the jury is out on whether Gearbox plans to put more…

From what I read, Gearbox actually bought PerfectWorld, not just Cryptic.
-
Honestly my hope is Gearbox wants the MMO management expertise at Cryptic to help develop a Borderlands MMO. That would something.
-
Closest thing to flight is the 'jumping with style' areas of Spinward Rise. I checked - they are still there, even though there is no story to go along with them anymore.
-
Yeah, like others have said - what achievement? My oldest toon is nearly 8 now, what festive frippery have I missed out on over his last 7 birthdays?
-
Kind of disappointed - your thread title had me thinking this was a 'let us play as evil aligned characters' convo. Sigh.
-
I think the point is that getting those boons built up requires massive investments in time/labor/materials by the entire guild. To just flippantly change/minimize the hard earned stats without notice or apparent compensation for the loss of stats on the affected guilds is extraordinarily tone-deaf on the part of the devs.…
-
Same thing for me. If I open the other parts of the pack first, then do something else, then come back to open the artisan choice packs, it happens less. But if I open the pack, and the first thing I open is the Adventurer artisan choice pack, it crashes every single time. And it's always the first opening only of the pack…

So, basically play as an illithid, the main race that uses psionic attacks? Would work better if we had a morality system in the game - play illithid as lawful evil. Never turn your back on THAT guy in a dungeon - might sell you out to any of the bosses for the right price.
-
Would love to play monk class - it was my favorite from Neverwinter Nights - but not happening in 2021. Given that they are rolling this out on all platforms simultaneously, the devs must have pretty high confidence about playability without even running this through extensive preview testing (as they did for M20 and M21).…
-
Just a guess - but given how much had been invested in staff/salary for the now defunct MtG game, chances are they had some extra hands lying around for a bit collecting paychecks, so maybe they put some of those MtG (and soon to be laid off) artistic folks on the job to make the video.

I've actually been getting into professions more lately, so I've been sending various alts tools and mats frequently. None of the emails I've sent has cleared up this problem. I have something like 8 alts, and they all have the icon lit up even though the inbox is empty. It's not a game breaker, but it just means I never…

This is the way.
-
They probably won't return it to the game, but they really should add it to the Antiquities Scholar's list of exchangeable currencies.

I opened the Graycloak's Legacy pack on a new Bard character before the Graycloak pack went buggy. I now find that if my character has the Graycloak weapon loaded - the system says the character is unarmed, and that I need to give it a weapon. I had to unload the Graycloak weapon and load a different one before attack…
-
That's a nice thought but honestly - the Bard class has literally no backstory. There's no reason to think actual content is needed to introduce a new class - the Bard has proven that. The key is whether the Bard has a measurably positive impact on the company's balance sheets. If they can make a direct connection between…
-
It's not about the gear score - some of the designs for the armors were unique to a particular zone. I honestly don't care about the esthetics, but I knew some folks would care so I used up all the currency I could to buy up bounty packs ahead of the transition, in case they became valuable (they are unbound, so can be…

Those are some seriously oversized kegs to haul all the way to the other side of PE. That's her house. Rents have skyrocketed in Trader's Square since the remodel and that's her domicile now. Kind of like working from home.
-
It's the same situation as the Fomorian Concoctions from the old Sharandar zone. They just sit in your inventory until you get rid of them (no benefit there, honestly) or hold onto them until they become of value again...which may or may not ever happen. And it's not just the 'old zones' that went away - it's all the zones…

I had the exact same thing happen tonight. I bought a pack earlier in the week - got another one tonight because it's a good charity and I don't mind paying the $10 for another set of the goodies. But I get the 'invalid code' message when I try to redeem it. I did not see any text on the groupees page or in the Neverwinter…
