my only problem with the "give them time" argument is that 'time' usually means a minimum of multiple months up to years. i just dont have that kind of patience to sit around hoping things make the game fun at some point, one day, maybe.
-
so what i am getting from this thread is that if i am not a perfect player with perfect gear and perfect build i might as well not even bother with this game since i do not have a dedicated guild nor can i play 24/7 since i work and all. ok then, wtg cryptic i guess...
-
i have to say this has been the main thing holding me off from playing the game much. i like the paladin class and wanted to play as a tank paladin, but i noticed before i was even level 10 that shift just doesn't work half the time. i know from playing months ago that i will get 1-shot by red circles if i cant block or…
-
you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but i would not agree with it. everything is not a simple emotional response. i currently enjoy playing rift more than i do neverwinter. rift has worse graphics and animations and a much slower leveling process. however it has much better combat mechanics as far as tanks who tank…
-
i liked the game because it was ad&d, has fast paced combat, and good graphics / animations. i havent been playing because the game gets boring and has fundamental issues. after ~30 levels or so you begin to realize that you only have a few active skills and that is all you will ever use repeatedly forever and it just…
-
I just find it hard to take this game seriously. The amount of issues, the cost of the cash shop, the terrible class mechanics, and the redundancy of combat just drive me away. combat is fun for like ~30 levels and then you realize you will be using these same 4 skills forever and that is all you will be able to do. you…

guardian fighters need to be adjusted to be more like tanks in standard mmo games. very high survivability, low damage. the fact they cant take the abuse of tanking in pve combined with them being super strong in pvp just points directly to this. both facets of the game are suffering because the class is not made properly.…
-
while there have been several posts saying this is bad, none say why. resilience just adds a giant gap between people who pvp all the time and those who dont. the people who pvp all the time end up with the best resilience gear, and those who cant pvp all the time dont have it. shortly after the people who are not full…

technically this is true, but you have used up half of your power slots now on non-cold based attacks which just makes it that much more difficult to stack chill effects up to the freeze stun. each to their own, but if i was going to go with a chill based build i would want to use the powers that applied chill effects.…
-
I think the cold spells have more damage potential, i just dont like how freeze works for crowd control. perhaps if i get into end game dungeons i will change my mind. as it is now though, if i switch to cold spells to get the freeze effects it is just not the same level of control as the arcane powers. you stack up to…

antivirus is like a placebo. it makes you feel good because you think its doing something, but its really not. there are some options on the software that are useful for people who are not very educated about computers, like scanning for malware and keyloggers and things of that nature, but as far as protecting you from an…
-
This is done on purpose. They justify it by saying you didn't pay for the game or a monthly fee or whatnot else. Honestly the f2p model stinks. I have never understood why people support it or call it the future of online gaming when it splits the player base in half. you have the one group of players who either A) have…
-
population numbers dont mean much in f2p games anyhow. there will always be a bloated low end bracket of people trying it out who never stick with it.
-
this type of analysis really needs to be an over-time measurement in my opinion. if you get 10% reduced ap gain, but cast the spells 10% more often, over time the net ap should remain constant. I am sure this is what they were considering with this type of behavior so you could not use your daily an excessive amount. now…

Well, excuse me, i thought this was 'merica!
-
i would disagree on guild wars 2 at least. the game is another arena style pvp setup, matches with objectives or killing each other on small teams, and they leave classes broken and underperforming for 6+ months at a time. they really do not care about their game.
-
at the current prices the only thing i would purchase off the zen store is a respec token.
-
playing those games is what got me started buying the rule books.
-
this also relies heavily on selling your created items. last time i looked at the AH it was flooded with tailoring items with everyone trying to undercut each other. just clicking the leadership buttons gets you AD with zero effort. - seems someone typed faster than me.
-
to me it is just another video game. the obvious limitation they face is time and money. play rift then play this game. the graphics and gameplay are on two separate worlds. what takes them a week in rift to create with those 1990's graphics probably takes them a month in neverwinter. i realize this is nothing like the 2nd…
-
doesnt really have much to do with the topic, except to show how wildly things are different in one game to the next. in rift it takes a long time to get a forced logout, at least 20 minutes if not 30, and their forums have rage posts about make it faster because the servers are full of idle free players and they cannot…
-
the only mmorpg i have ever played with good pvp was daoc, and that was simply because the fights involved so many people that individual class balance never really came into play. also the frontier was massive, it literally took hours to walk across it, so there were so many things happening you could just go somewhere…
-
ive tanked plenty in other mmo games, the simple fact of the matter is this game has designed boss fights differently. i would tend to agree with your sentiment, i enjoyed being the tank up front who can handle all the abuse while my squishy friends went pew pew behind me. it was fun. that is just not how this game works,…
-
tanks dont have enough damage mitigation to take a boss and adds. your block meter will break and you will get pummeled. adds in general are more of a threat than the boss, so yeah.
-
i doubt your estimation is correct. it is more likely people who are not really trying to play end game and max out their character. like you said, the level up process is pretty fun. some classes are more fun to play than others as well. if you chose one of the less fun classes you might not be happy, while someone who…
-
i dont mind content being challenging, but for the love of god stop suggesting more adds or tougher adds. that has to be the single worst thing about boss fights in this game. look here comes the waves of adds out of thin air spewing red circles on the ground everywhere. 2 minutes later, oh look here is more adds magically…
-
i think it should at least be changed to your first run of the day, then reset every 4 hours or something. as it is i have to ignore that the bonus things are there. i cannot revolve my schedule around a game.
-
i dislike the 1-15 areas because you dont have the cleric companion yet. its just one giant potion chug the entire time and i have played them too many times trying all the classes out.
-
in theory it is all nice, but in reality you are usually going to have to go with who is available and up for the job. ive seen people spamming for ages to get their dungeon groups together. being that picky because you think more CW is the perfect group is just going to have you sitting on your hands all night. dont get…

the only time i see immune is if its a boss enemy on entangling force. in pvp if its against warriors with shields they are blocking. occasionally i see chill strike do this, but it is because it is tracking the target and they moved where i dont have proper line of site. 99% of the time it works fine. never seen that…
