As a former raid leader I can't stress this enough, we never picked anyone up outside of our guild but we had a lot of people that heard the word raid and wanted to jump in, despite not having anything near the gear needed to be ready to raid. Honestly if you are a decent player it shouldn't be hard to get more gear. All…
It seems to me that you are a gamer that likes to see your investment in your character grow and enjoy simply playing the game and your character more than the pursuit of mastering the game or your character and this game seems the right pacing, content, and user base to fulfill those tastes. To give you a little…
I think part of the reason they didn't do barbarian was two fold. 1. The barbarian wasn't in the 4E PHB1, but the 4E PHB2. It looks like they want to go with "core" classes for 4E first and expand out from there. 2. They probably didn't want to mess with the rages and rage strikes that barbarians can get in 4E because, as…
This game is based off of the Fourth Edition D&D Rules and Astral Diamonds are the high tier currency that any adventurers worth their salt start trading in after 15th level. As a rule the "feeling" of D&D isn't about the currency system in it, nor whether there is a cash shop attached to the game (hint: there is,…
I think part of the worry about buying zen -> AD -> AH items doesn't take into account the conversion rates. To take an example from GW2 it was possible to buy enough gems then convert it into enough gold to buy a legendary but it wasn't feasible for the majority of players. I literally just logged onto it and the…
The two characters I absolutely WILL be making are Halfling Greatweapon Fighter and Tiefling Devoted Cleric. I like to play atypical characters and both of these are just great for that. I would also like to get a Drow trickster rogue(or dwarf warlock if what I've been reading comes true) if I have the money to spare at…
Depending on how many character slots we will get at launch and how expensive buying extras will be determines how much money I'll be spending. I definitely don't mind buying some cool cosmetic stuff but I've got a pretty good list of characters I want to play straight from the get go.
I don't really need or deserve a key as those simply give early access to the game and I'm content to wait if I must. I would however very much appreciate a key as I plan on making helpful videos for new players, or people who are looking into a different class, after launch. I'm an experienced raider who has played WoW…
I always liked to start from Ten Towns as it's a very harsh an unforgiving landscape, which often makes for great stories and lots of creativity from players and DMs alike.
I personally would be very happy with an initial 3 slots as that encourages each player to create at least one of the trinity characters. Having played a multitude of f2p mmos I can say that only having 2 slots always puts me off and I eventually tire of it because I want to make a different character to see if I like…
I've been noticing between threads that a lot of people haven't grasped that this is taken from 4E. I personally enjoy every edition of D&D and several other systems so I don't have any negative feelings towards it. Evil Deities would be great to have and someone earlier in the thread mentioned that it would conflict if…
I would like to play a Devoted cleric as they look like they come the closest to EQ1's clerics and I was exposed to that before D&D so they are my classic ideal of a cleric. I would however love to play a Dragonborn Warlord just because they fulfill a similiar role and are totally bamf looking.
After watching a few streams and videos of the beta weekend I've come to the conclusion that it will be ingrained in people that the proper etiquette for getting heals is to break off from the group a little and head towards the cleric so they can actually land the heals. Either that or a lot of groups will be double…
Well iirc Cadderly the cleric in R.A. Salvatore's "The Cleric Quintet" was married to a more oriental styled monk named Danica(?). I also believe there were mentions of monk orders in Neverwinter Nights if you talked to the dwarf monk hireling about his past. But I would love to see the 4E incarnation of Bards in the game.…
