All I can say is thank you for the huge nerfs - they made my decision to quit very easy. This game had the potential to be something great. Now it's just a grind fest that is now going to be even more of a grind and darn near impossible for those without a high ilvl. Congrats.
I'm sorry to say it, but a boatload of nerfs does nothing to make me want to continue playing. Combine that with the other changes (the coal/pres wards, AD nerf, etc) and the fact that the entire game is a boring grind now and you aren't really offering me very much. I play games to have fun and this game just hasn't been…
I'll repeat - anyone who was stupid enough to invest money in something right after it's released that is obviously broken can only blame themselves. There are usually fixes implemented after large releases because not everything works as intended. Wait until the smoke clears and THEN invest after everything has been…
Lack of QC? Laziness? Oversight? It's not like this is the first time they've released something that was broken. In any case, they've now changed it and you or anyone who was stupid enough to spend a lot of currency on it are SOL. Get over it.
This. There's no way that having such inflated stats was an intended design decision. Anyone who invests $$ or AD in something in a new mod release before all the kinks have been ironed out is just asking to be disappointed.
The heralds are only trivial if you get in with a group of higher ilvl people. I've been in runs where they died in five seconds, others where we barely finished all five dragons in the allotted time (and though rare, some others where we only got through 3-4). They are already being done less anyway because the content is…
I feel your pain. I got 10 green tomes of companion experience and 5 green tomes of experience from my last overflow reward. Oh boy... I don't get a power point each time... okay, that sucks, but don't insult me with complete garbage.
Best answer to your question is don't bother -- unless you want an endless grind and progression stuck behind a wall of $$ that you will have to fork out.
So now you are basically forcing people to spend Zen or pay ridiculous AD costs to progress as coal wards are a necessity for upgrading the huge amount of artifact weapons/armor/enchants/runestones that are in the game. Well, I'm hopping off this train. I've brushed off a lot of the changes and said that it wouldn't really…
My problem with this type of content is that (in the case of Tiamat anyway), the requirements to enter are too low. There's no way a bunch of 1700 IL people can do this so you end up with people way undergeared who get creamed and contribute very little. Then there's the fact that a first timer has NO CLUE what to do. My…
A few things that I've noticed (some have already been mentioned, but I'm going to add my voice to them). These are in no particular order. 1. Transmutation costs - Seriously, this needs to be lowered A LOT. There's so many pieces of armor that I've gotten that look great, but I'm not going to spend 50k to transmute it. 2.…
This. Exactly. I just wish I'd known I would get so many of these things before I spent money on respecs during the Zen store sale around Thanksgiving!
My cleric is actually sporting a Frostburn enchant because I got it out of one of the daily boxes, but I'm going to look into getting a Soulforged one. Speaking of the effects - I personally wish you could turn those off like you can turn off appearance on some pieces of armor. My getup is gold/red, so the frost just looks…
I was questing out there and happened upon one of the encounters, so I helped out. I noticed someone in chat griping because nobody would take the time to invite them. I was torn between thinking they were right and they were lazy since I noticed the people posting the timers. I've seen people spam invites for dragons in…
First time I got one of these I was like "oooo purple!" then I opened it and got some ugly fire appearance weapons. Okay, maybe I was just unlucky. Second time I open one... that lame Emblem of the Cults. At first I had no clue what it was, then I found out that it's not even worth a diamond. I decided to open one more of…
I got some really nice stuff that I wouldn't have bought otherwise, but I also exchanged what was left (about 1k Zen) for diamonds. I'm guessing that's what a lot of people have done since the ratio was back up near 500 AD per Zen. A lot of things I want, I can't buy from the store and the quickest/easiest way to make…
I leveled a DC to 60 to unlock the artifact. I thought it was going to be painful, but I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. In fact, I'm going to take her to 70. I'm specced DPS though, so that might be why. In regards to damage, I did more in a dungeon at level 62 than my roommate's level 70 TR. Of course my roommate…
I made it through the whole thing with my level 62 cleric, though the first time I attempted that fight, I died because I got stuck on something and couldn't get out of the way fast enough. I do agree that the fog or whatever makes it difficult to see anything.
I got 30 tokens out of the companion pack that came out of the new box yesterday. I've gotten 30 tokens ONE other time - a couple of months ago. Course even with 60 tokens it's not enough to take my blue up to purple. :(
I've never been into economics, so my version of a "fair" price would probably not be anything they would want to hear. I just think 20k+ for a boon is ridiculous and 50k for an appearance change on an item is pure insanity.
As it is, I ONLY purchase VIP time if I get the 15% off coupon. I ONLY purchase keys if I get the 40% off a key coupon. When I bought a mount, I waited until I had one of the coupons for it. Same with a companion. I've never paid full price for anything in the store. And if they put out a crappy sale, I'll take the money I…
I'm very glad I didn't buy any Zen in anticipation of this and feel sorry for the ones that did. I'm hoping they come out and say that it's still on, but it won't surprise me if they don't. Oh well, I'd planned on spending quite a bit of money for this. If they try the old bait and switch (ie: dropping the sale to like…
They might have been losing sales for a bit because of the sale announcement, but now they will lose more because if the sale doesn't happen (or if it's only 25% or something) I won't buy ANYTHING (and I'm betting others will do the same). In fact, I probably won't purchase Zen again because that is just low down. I feel…
I had some extra Zen that I sold when I saw the price on the exchange up to 489. Glad I did since it's now back down around 400. I really hope this sale goes through. I will be buying a good amount of Zen to buy a lot of things that I would not otherwise buy. I won't be purchasing said Zen until I see that the sale is…
I'm going to waste my keystrokes to comment on this as well. The AD sinks in the game should have been changed when the changes to leadership went live. Not weeks or months (or never in the case of some) afterwards. -Professions - Why does it cost 100,000 diamonds to make an armor pack? -Boons - It costs something like 60k…
