What you're not taking into account is that you shouldn't be thinking in terms of what you and I think of when it comes to riding horses. Many of the horses in NW are actually destriers, which is to say (as someone earlier in the thread touched upon), horses that were bred (and trained) to carry armed and armored warriors.…
Ummm ... that first quote was referring to DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) NOT NW. It's a little confusing for those that didn't read the article when you don't make that clear in your commentary. Lottie My apologies. I was mistaken. The first quote does, indeed, refer to NW. Lottie
I agree, melodywhr, I do think that the powers that be should be making a point of making this kind of information more available, transparent, and up-front. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have occurred to them. The only reason that I know about it is that I read about it on these forums (I haven't as yet claimed any of…
Take care with how you claim these AD. Unless something has changed, if you claim all of them on a given character you can't divvy them up among your other characters. Claim what each character needs/wants separately. If you do wind up claiming all on a single character and that's not what you want, there is a workaround,…
While I will grant you that Mimics can be a tad bit annoying to fight, personally, they always make me laugh. This is in part because they're such an iconic monster and in part because the bouncing, biting chest is just funny to actually observe. Lottie
I'm sorry but your statement that you cannot use companions until level 16 and you get the quest from Sgt Knox is incorrect. You cannot use the white companions until then but you CAN use the companions that came from the Hero of the North and the Guardian packs. You are able to equip and use those companions once you've…
Indeed! I DESPISE PvP. Any game that would cram it down my throat, willy nilly, would lose my patronage and support. PvP is, further, completely antithetical to original DnD (pen and paper). I realize that it is included in MMOs due to demand by some percent of the player base but I believe that there is also a part of the…
That would preclude family members living in the same household from playing with each other or, indeed, playing at all, which could have an impact on sales. Certainly it would have lost PWE the sale of a starter and guardian pack to my husband. Further, of the seven people that I know (personally) who play NW, there are…
As to #3 ... given a major city in the Forgotten Realms, in canon, it can pretty well be stipulated that you are going to have a diverse population made up of most of the races in the world. Particularly the most common races to be found. Which is to say, that any major population center does, indeed, become a melting pot.…
"Forcing PvP on PvE and vice versa is not a good idea." (quorforged) Indeed! And it would be my guess that many of those who don't/won't do PvP won't do any of the Gauntlgrym for that reason. And will feel at least some resentment at being locked out of legitimate PvE content. That's how I feel. Lottie
AHHH! A light has dawned! My apologies I misread/misunderstood your question. And the Gateway is an app for a mobile "smart" device that you can use to go into NW without actually going into the full game that allows you do certain things, like crafting, AHing, etc. Now, me, I can barely keep up with my "stupid" mobile…
Is logging in via the Gateway considered to be "online" or are you still officially "offline"? This is the only thing that occurs to me. Mind, I'm barely semi-literate at computers (games, email and, on a good day, the occasional document ;) ) so that qualifies as a SWAG. Lottie
This has been happening to me on and off pretty much since the beginning of Open Beta. It is rather frustrating, in particular, because of its seemingly random nature. Lottie
Hmmm, it occurs to me to wonder if one reason for the bloated state of zone chat (and, therefore, its rapidity of movement) could be because three games ALL share and display that channel. In other words, the chat is not from one game but from three. Or have I misunderstood comments some posters have made, which is…
Well said!. My only caveat is the "Probable" classification in the sense that, in all cases, if X is chat banned, it, therefore, follows that 20 "buds" determined to report him and achieve shutting X out of all chat channels. HOWEVER, it is certainly POSSIBLE for that to happen and does seem to be a mechanic that is…
I have both the wolf and the cat, as well as the one white companion that you get from the quest at level 15/16. Of the three, the dire wolf is my favorite. Lottie
I don't know the answer to your question, but have you checked under the Options tab/button? If there is such an option, I would imagine that it would be found under the "video" screen/section. Good luck! Lottie
I'm not sure that I'm responding to the correct question, but I don't think there is a problem with three PCs entering a quest dungeon together ... with or without companions. If you're all in a party there should be no problem with up to five PCs, which is the limit of PCs in a party in the game (with or without…
I don't believe that Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair were in the game at launch. Before the first expansion (Burning Crusade), yes, I think so, but NOT at launch. As for ten man raids, I think that those came in with Burning Crusade as a response to the difficulty of getting together a forty man raid without any really…
