Master of the Hunt mobs, seemingly mostly the quicklings and the powries, deal absurd damage now. I was able to solo it, with some difficulty, yesterday, but today after the patch I literally can't even finish the last fight due to the adds obliterating me. And this is with even higher defense and awareness than I had the…
From my limited testing in MotH and Lostmauth, bosses are the least dangerous things in there. Trash mobs in, at least those 2 instances, are insanely aggressive in getting CA on you, to the point that moving to prevent it does nothing, as they simply run with you and maintain CA the entire time, all while hitting you. In…
I have a very hard time seeing some of those people as 'dedicated', when they are just feasting on lures their fans farmed for them. Several small armies of people simping for youtuber X or Y ensured this was anything but a fair contest for the people that were actually trying to compete without having a youtube channel…
They wrote that example wrong from the start. It's the T2 hunts, at least the one I helped on, that are 'for a really fantastically strong group, or multiple groups'. The Red Lady at a minimum is absurdly overtuned, with with incredibly bad mechanics. If T3 hunts follow the same tuning trajectory, they will literally be…
The stacks never dropping affects everyone that interacts with someone wearing it. But since you benefit from that, you don't want to talk about it. PvP is a complete HAMSTER show, and now it's affecting the people that made it a HAMSTER show in the first place. And until all these """true PvPers""" are hard agitating to…
I can't hear you over the sound of the minimum of two people per CoDG that are using abyssal chicken. It doesn't matter if they know the mechanics if chicken is constantly chewing on the mechanics' corpse.
@tchefi Now, take those examples you've given, and replay them in your mind with the drop rates we have now. Your prizes for your contests have dried up. You have no, not just bulette pup, but no companion drops at all to give your friend. Don't look at your stockpile of AD from however many years you have been playing,…
You can be the best friends in the world, with all the knowledge among you, but if the game has mathematically sabotaged you with worthless rewards and even worse drop rates, there's very little anyone can do or say to make up for the game HAMSTER you over. Barring, or course, them actually giving you stuff or letting you…
The rewards that are there are fine...it's the rate of acquisition and amount per acquisition that are the problem. At the current drop rate, for it to not feel like an insult, it should be 25 pres wards, 50 trade bars, 100 charge health stones, 10 scrolls of life, etc. At the current drop amount, for it to not feel like…
If I want to play D&D, I'll check and see if my buddy has a game going that I can join. I play Neverwinter to play an action-MMO that mostly works, because the 'D&D' aspect of NW is so absolutely thin that it may as well not be there.
@sandukutupu "Role player" You are part of a sub-micro minority. Your goals are so far removed from normal players that you may as well be playing a different game.
"the players" No, a micro minority on the forums pretend to want everything hard. Actual players in-game tell you what they want with their actions: When a LoMM pops, most of the time 2+ people instantly leave, followed by everyone else when you get to the first boss. When a CR pops, no one leaves the campfire unless it's…
Who cares if we annihilate old content? Why do you want old content to be hard? There's no loot from it that justifies there being any challenge to doing it. It's literally just busywork for pitiful amounts of RP and laughable amounts of RAD. It's there to create the illusion of an active world. If you want to make…
@hadestemplar He was complaining that downward scaling isn't strong enough to make him struggle against a weekly quest boss from MOD HAMSTER EIGHT. @oldbaldyone There's an actual balance point for loot drops, but I can tell you that a sub-10% chance to get 2 trade bars is nowhere near that point. There's serious problems…
Game barely survived the first bout with scaling. By all means, do it again and watch the crater where the game used to be. No one plays MMOs to upgrade their characters just to NEVER GET ANY STRONGER.
hArdEr coNtenT GivEs bEtER drOp rATes! I was actually getting better/more loot before the change, running half or less the number of dungeons/trials in the same time frame. This is nothing but a sham.
Those drop rates seem too high for what I have experienced. I'm at ~90 chests opened and have only had 6 'premium' drops total: 3 single presvervation wards, 2 drops of trade bars, and a single genie's gift.
The only two pieces of actual loot I have ever gotten from IC was 2 parts of the artifact set, and both of those dropped off the second boss directly. I have literally never gotten anything but writings and seals from the chests. IC is about half a step from being a loot black hole.
With the pitiful amounts of these items that we are getting, on the excessively rare occasion that they do actually drop, the drop rate could literally be 100% and it would still take 2 years to get any amount worth taking note of. Two pres wards out of 75 chests? Eight trade bars out of 75 chests? This game will be shut…
I can go ahead and tell you, the drop rate is not good. The drop rate is, in fact, very bad. After 30 chests, I have a single pres ward to show for it. It is bound. It does not stack with my other bound pres wards. It feels like an anti-reward.
