I would say it is deliberate. The recent changes to the forum strongly mirror the changes to the game over the last few mods. These people can't want your business.
I don't understand why they don't release regular fashion updates. Gives people something new and shiny, doesn't add to Power creep. The mind boggles . . . . .
Maybe, if you're lucky, they will force Cryptic to change the game model and focus on developing a game that people actually want to continue playing long term. Here is a novel idea, spend their effort in creating new content instead of removing it and just pulling the rug from underneath the players feet and then…
I'm not sure why the old dungeons (that never returned) needed to be removed I'm not sure why the old zones needed to be removed I'm not sure why the old feat system needed to be removed I'm not sure why the old paragon paths needed to be removed I'm not sure why the old fast paced combat needed to be removed
That would require one of the Cryptic team to give a HAMSTER about the online forum. Only time they can be bothered is when they are using the players to beta test their half cooked additions deletions to the game
and it is terrible. No immersion, no fun. I couldn't even be bothered finishing Neverdeath with my Bard. I was exclusively playing NWO for around 7 years or so and now they have turned it into something that I don't want to play for more than 5 mins. Great job, done a great job of destroying what was a good game. If the…
you can do a spear / lance / pole arm and shield - ie. Spear of the Fey or whatever the undermountain one was. Although admittedly it still gets used like a sword. So as long as you are not a ugly born you can get a "300" legionarre look by combining one of the spears and the Shield of the mighty. Note Spear of the Fey is…
This pretty much sums me up as well and also sums up probably 60-80% of the veteran players in our guild. I am intending to log back in and check out the next Mod with the bard but tbh I'm not expecting the game experience of mindless boring grind grind grind to change. After playing this game exclusively for 7-8 years, I…
This is getting closer. If you tracked the time it took for a zen order to go through and the amount of Zen requested in the Queue at the time of placing the order, then you could work out how much Zen was being converted to AD every day. Then you need to estimate: How much Zen is being bought and not converted to AD -…
I can't see them rolling back NWO to pre mod 16 and I doubt MTG failing will have any positive effect on NWO. I haven't played MTG but let me guess, they created a game that wasn't fun to play, felt like working a second job and expected you to pay $$ for some HAMSTER RNG chance at getting something. A game should = fun to…
Dont go for the best, that is only short term solution because whatever is performing best will definitely get a nerf. For medium term - go for 2nd best For med-long term go for third best Devs are best at nerfing, if it is fun or performing well . . . . gone
I agree. There used to be pages and pages of feedback on changes in the past, now after over a month, there is hardly anything. On General discussion PC, hardly any discussion. Virtually nothing in the class forums for 6 months. No builds to be found anywhere. They have ripped out the heart of this game and left something…
This is how it always works, they either don't know how to subtly balance items or this is a strategy. Add me into the list of people who are wondering "why even bother". Ive got Zen but cant even be bothered spending it during the sale. Not even going to bother renewing VIP as it will save me from having to log in once…
Not really worth it for me. Ive got around 150mil AD and couldn't be bothered upgrading my chars. Probably because of scaling. To me its like all the fun is being stripped out of the game
To the OP - easy mode and hard mode is something this game needs badly. They used to have it and it worked well (as long as the rewards are structured suitably).
