Note: simply yelling out "lag" is uselessly vague. Your job, should you choose to do it, is to explain what you're seeing vs what you expect to see, in such a way that others can understand the problem. I do see problems in DR, so here's what I would explain as "bad lag" to the developers: 1) With loot on the ground, or a…

Human intervention -- GMs out looking for bots is the single best approach. However, that seems to be a costly step that hasn't been tried. Unguarded skill nodes at the entrance of a map should take a designer 15 minutes to remove outright or stick a big fat enemy mob on top of them. Next up, randomness is probably the…

It's best to short these items right now -- sell them on the AH for just under the lowest price seen, then buy back later. If you get more than 25K + 10% AH cut, you'll come out ahead. GMOPs will be 25K "soon" and with the VIP discount, probably 21-22K. You have a bad investment, and you know more than anyone buying for…

I'd unload them on the AH (~57K each now), and re-buy at a lower cost. Sell high, buy low...

The 1970s are dead. Discos should be dead along with it.

Your plan might have a slight chance if executed completely and competently. However, you're blind to what Cryptic's done with NW in 2015. I don't know if you're willfully or deliberately blind, but look at the long-missing dungeons, the continual 1-shots (DR ignored) in dungeons during mod6, foundry neglect, and all the…

"In Fire" - Ambassador Kosh

What was the price of a GMOP on the first day of public access to NW? 100,000 AD. Cryptic has been charging out the wazoo from day 1; these sinks are not in response to AD farms. Please get your facts straight!
-
Which mount? Remember I said, be specific. A 2500 Zen mount -- the cheapest purple -- is 1,250,000. Prices for purple mounts go up from there on the Zen store. Cryptic sets those prices; if it's a rare drop mount, that's also gated by Cryptic's drop rate. I don't think Cryptic wants purple mounts on the AH to be cheaper…

Are you level 61-69? No skirmishes for you!

As I said in point #1, "add a Zen store item (for real-$ only) to buy AD at a fixed cost, 500:1." This allows Zen -> AD just fine. Not necessarily just for P2W, if someone wants a boost at the beginning, they can invest $5 to get 250,000 AD.

I started playing in mod4, and during Mod4/5, I dropped about $100 into the game. Since Mod6, nothing has convinced me that it's worth spending on. I was about to drop real $ on VIP the next charge bonus weekend, but seeing that they nerfed VIP weeks after its introduction, I decided to wait. At least they had the decency…

[quote] he just said that they will revise the prices for fixed price items. that includes c wards. [/quote] Is that going to happen before or after the dungeons all return? Cryptic nerfs with a nuke, and buffs months later by handing out shovels. You shortsighted people who were pushing for this change, without…

I'd suspect something else: load times, which is mostly bounded by HD/SSD speed, CPU, RAM quantity, network speed. (And in roughly that order). In my experience (caveat: PvE only), NW doesn't wait for all players to be loaded before the players spawn into the map and can move around. Thus, if you have a slower system…

The " support" quests would be one logical place for more vouchers. Just getting shards of power for having helped regions once again seems weak to me.
-
Can I flip that question back at you? In your mind, what is a "reasonable" price for a "luxury item?" Be specific, list the items, their recent AH costs, and what range of prices are acceptable to you. Bonus points for including the cost to get there, e.g. how many GMOPs it takes to get an enchantment from R5 (fairly…

Having run this a bunch of times, this feels like an event for parties of 5-6x 1-target DPS (TR, GWF), 1-2 DCs, 1-2 tanks -- like a big dungeon boss with occasional, very tough ads. Mobility and single-target DPS seems critical. Other classes seem to be off the list of useful. However, I play a spellstorm oppressor CW, and…

The badge name should be the "goober award" (Might & Magic Xeen/6 reference)

While I agree with the "make gameplay more rewarding" part of your diatribe, I really think your comment would be ultimately hurtful to the game. Here's the problem: you say "Cut X, buff Y." The development team, for reasons opaque to us, over the last 6 months, have generally done only the first half -- look at missing…

I'd rather have a mailsmithing task (even rank 20-25). If chain armor -- lots of small rings -- is forgeable with that profession, a keyring is just a big chain ring? Or maybe make iron rings -> 1-2 item keyring, steel rings -> 2-4 item keyring all they way up with better quality materials holding more keys.
-
If true, then either you're psychic or a member of the dev team. If it sounds-true, then you're just speculating like the rest of us. If this theory was true, there'd be a noticeable difference in performance before and after the Thursday server reset. However, I've not noticed any such pattern.
-
Please, NO. Bound to account is the only sane restriction, except for armor/weapons that have been worn. I already get too much character-bound items (invoking bags, and everything from therein, including coupons) that eat up a lot more space that I'd prefer to put in shared bank space. But, if I get a coupon for "% off…

Well, Mod7's mimic chest is going to vastly reduce supply of a lot of items floating around. Reduced supply means prices will rise, not fall. Doesn't matter if there's AD farms or not, if there used to be 500 green profession workers for trade on the AH, when there's only 20 now, those workers will be more expensive.
-
May I ask you to detail out 2-3 things that "cost so much" -- with their current price -- and what you think a reasonable price would be? Are you talking enchantments? Weapons/Armor? Profession materials? Something else? Epic mounts and everything on the zen store? (I agree that those are too high, but those prices are set…
-
I suspect you could enter text to filter the task list -- making it always the same place. I use filtering when I run professions in-game simply because it cuts down the tasks. For example, when I'm leveling leatherworking, I enter 'armor' as the filter text, and that hides all the boots, etc. The gateway gateways's…

Better suggestion: a checkbox for "show quest markers below my level" that would make the <!> show for all quest givers, regardless of player's level. Such a checkbox would still be useful at level 70. Common Cause from Harper Boward tends to give a "talk to someone next to me" quest, but the person of the day doesn't…

Here's what I've found that seems to work around this bug: For the first invoke of the day, press & hold down control + i. Hold both keys down for 5-6 seconds, while watching the invoke countdown timer in the top-right of the screen. (Custom layouts, your location may vary). If both control + i keys are still down after…
