Monetizing the Foundry would be a good way to increase capital, but I digress.

"A reply."

@"cwhitesidedev#9752" , I am SUPER late to the party, thanks to work, but I really don't have anything to add, that hasn't been discussed already by Sharp, Rainer and the others. Again, though, as I pointed out in the VIP CDP, streamlining the vendors and updating them to coincide with the changes to rewards will go a long…

@sandukutupu, @gotflounder , Got it! I'm in. I don't PvP, but I can, for sure, add some goodies to the pot. :)
-
No worries. I've done it too. :) Glad to be of help.

When Chris releases the 2020 Cadence, you're going to see that he's broken off chunks of it as groups. We industry peeps call those "Milestones." Milestones are Dev Companies saying "We expect to have this done, by this time." They're usually done in Quarters, unless you're in the overdrive mode that comes right before RD…

@"cwhitesidedev#9752" , Here's the Currency Extrapolation: 1 Zen = 750 AD = 5 Tramalune Bars = 1000 Gold 1 Tramalune Bar = 150 AD 1 Heroes Medallion = 6.66 Zen = 4,995 AD = 33.33 Tramalune Bars = 3.03 Arden Favor 1 Ardent Favor = 2.2 Zen = 1,650 AD = 11 Tramalune Bars For example, Mark of Potency, Rank 5 = 100 Zen = 75,000…

Aw man, I wish I had known. Next time, let me know and I will throw something in the pot! =)
-
No, that's what I was remembering, but then I thought, "no, that's way too low."
-
Hey, does any other old-timer remember how much coals were in the Tramamamalamalune Store? I can't remember an I'm trying to math. Blame it on my pushing 50. ;)
-
Don't EVEN think of taking my travel post, Black. :P
-
Backwards, the Resonator came first. Then came Caturday. I remember logging in, seeing everyone with cats, going "WTF?" and like 5 minutes later the server went down on a Saturday for like 5 hours to do a roll back. I was so pissed. Wait.... this just happened on Mod 18's release to me, as well, sans the cats. This time it…
-
Yeah, I was actually thinking that the Legacy Store should also be replaced/removed as well, after I posted last night. All the stuff there, should be in the "Super Store" and Wondrous Bazaar. In fact, that would help to create a "baseline" for costs and give an additional stream for "Super Store" tokens. If pricing were…
-
LMAO! @sandukutupu, I'm still waiting on Neverember to make good on his Promissory Notes. Guy sold me Beachfront Property in Dread Ring. XD
-
Groo, The problem with the ZaX is simply due to the fact that Cryptic created a market they can't control with the Auction House. For years, people have been exploiting this game in various ways, to gain AD. It started back in 2013 with the Astral Resonators. (You could activate one, throw the activated one on the AH, farm…
-
Not creating a new store. In my pitch, I would replace the Tramalune Store and Vault of Piety, with the new one. Both the Wondrous Bazaar and the Tramalune Store would both share the same items, but one would be for AD the other be for Platinum (as an example.) Tram Bars could be traded in at a 1:1 value for the new…
-
What? They're a business. They're in the game development industry to MAKE money. Neverwinter is a D&D license from WoTC. If Cryptic weren't making money to pay those licensing fees, WoTC doesn't get paid and pulls the license. Let's try and remain positive here. I'm giving Chris the benefit of the doubt, even though he…
-
Now this, is feasible and everything I've been trying to say about why a complete overhaul of Stores/Rewards is a priority over anything, other than exploits and game breaking bugs. I would go a step further and say with older dungeon content, instead of dropping all the old rewards that nobody wants now or going through…
-
@"cwhitesidedev#9752" , Right now, VIP is the LAST thing you need to worry about. Allow me a moment of your time with this. The SOLE reason I have VIP is the simple fact I want to support the game and that I'm lazy. I don't want to run across Dwarven Valley when I'm done with IWD, I don't want to have to run to the bank, I…

Got experience from working in the industry. Everything they've done the past 3 modules or so only shows they're reducing manpower and have for some time. Look at Mod 16.25. It was a blatant copy of Mod 16. There was little to nothing put into it, but they worked on it for 4 months. They honestly didn't even try to hide…
-
The drop rate is about 3% per Coffer. So, you get around 3 per 100 coffers. (Disclaimer - This is based off Rainer's testing, which is in a controlled environment, but is not actually indicative of the actual drop rate, blah blah blah......) Champions and Star Trek uses their currency (gold) for the Auction and not the…
-
Yeah, a couple of mobs in Strongholds do this. Looks like they got a hernia from trying to do a dead lift, but it's their walk animation. XD
-
@"skingdev#1102", @"mikusquared#1439" Check the movement code, more specifically your transition/tween animation code. I use L/R mouse to move forward and backwards, M4/M5 for left/right for strafing. Q,W, E are used for Encounters and A and D are for at-wills. I'm not seeing this problem at all. I use the same keybinds…

Combat. It's all about combat. Okay, I want old school combat, like during beta, but the combat in this game is SECOND to none. I'll throw props, when it's merited. I've never played a solo-RPG or MMO where combat was as rad as it is in Neverwinter. And I play ALL the classes. ;) There's not one I didn't like.
-
Yeah, not gonna happen. Neverwinter is slated for "Maintenance-Only" in the next year or two. After playing Mod 18 on preview, I don't think even Chris will be able to right the ship, so to speak.
-
I just want to add in on Jimmy's comments. People now, have *NO* idea how rough it was to upgrade enchants pre-2015. You literally grabbed every single enchant drop, every skill node and every enchant in dungeon runs was a "Need" just to get RP. Hell, if you got lucky and picked up a Rank 5 Radiant Enchant, you just…
-
Mod 16 changes aren't going anywhere, unfortunately. Wait until Magic comes out, then you'll see a similar mechanic behind combat, I'm sure. The Mod 16 changes were not done to benefit the player. They were done so the developers had less to do. No more fumbling over stat spreadsheets per class, no more random stats to…
-
Nah, that profile pic is epic. I love Dwarves. I'm still pissed Mod 16 swung Mjolnerf, the Nerf Hammer at the Classes. I took a deep hit to my former Devout Cleric, now Arbiter. Mjolnerf is going to smack me around again when Mod 18 comes out and my Demonic Set I got to offset my DPS loss, gets a reduction. No Clan in…
-
As much as I've butted heads with these two, we're on the same page. There's SO much in this game that falls under the "why bother with it" category. I left as soon as Underdark started. I had a big project I was working on that came up, but I was also tired of the game. So tired. It was the same BS over and over again.…

From Janne's blog post: "Enemies will have the same value for all of their ratings, and all of the enemies in a given zone/dungeon will all have the same rating values." The stat/counter-stat HAMSTER is possibly testing for MtG mechanics, but the aforementioned quote above speaks volumes. The stat/counter-stat "evolution"…
