Great idea! Reminds me of way back in EQ when my guild used to hold "buff stations" to help out new and lower level players! I'll ask about sticky but it's the weekend so not promising anything. :)
Greetings mcbongin, While I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, the forums aren't the correct channel to inquire about in-game account bans. You can contact customer support and they can assist you.
Why should you or I care if it earns them more money? They aren't my friends, I owe them nothing. It's their job to create something that we find enjoyable and price it so that we feel its reasonable value. The success of valves hats do count, success is success. And before some genius pipes in with a brilliant statement…
It's been proven that games can not only survive, but thrive on selling purely cosmetic items. I assure you, especially with the cash shop prices, they will do more than fine without charging for respecs.
To me, it seems more focus was on the cash shop rather than longevity. That said, it's a pretty fun game (if you ignore the cash shop) to play until a few upcoming titles are released. Of course, it's possible PWE/Cryptic will adjust their pricing and try to make this a long term game, the foundation is there, but given…
Don't hold your breath, just heard a fan "interview" the dev thinks the forums are sunshine and rainbows and everyone is happy. So, either they don't even glance at the forums or the community managers aren't doing their job of relaying information to the devs.
It's a pretty good start, game wise, but the ridiculous cash shop and complete lack of dev communication will hold it back from reaching its true potential. As it stands, it's a fun game to kill some time waiting on other releases.
The complete lack of communication from the devs on any and all facets of this game is pretty pathetic, considering the great strides many other dev teams have been making over the last few years. Their silence isn't doing them any favors.
Yes, it is ridiculous that respecs are in the cash shop. Btw, expect this thread to be closed, can't have anyone speaking out against the almighty cash shop on these forums!
Yeah, this game is looking more and more like a game to tide me over till some of the upcoming releases. It's a fun game, at least the combat and leveling process, but the ridiculous cash shop that is not only overpriced for most items, but takes it further and charges for MMO staples and the shallow end game just won't…
Exactly, the only answers people who agree with respecs being in the cash shop seem to be able to come up with is that it should in some way "hurt" or detract from your enjoyment of the game. That, or re-roll a new character, neither of which are conducive to fun and are more likely to simply drive people away from the…
Maybe a book will be written on how to kill a perfectly good game in 1 easy step. I almost feel bad for the devs who worked their butts off only to have PWE pull this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. It seems they aren't even allowed to communicate with us beyond canned responses. :(
