  • I voted druid in hopes of a shape-changer. The classic druid can heal, nuke, or melee by (spells, other spells, shapechange) and was a jack of all trades. Monk doesn't make sense to me, you have to "make up" nonsensical weapons and armor to fill the gear slots on a character that really doesn't need much more than an…
  • I am still new to the class so its probably me then. I will keep messing with it ... its still ungeared, so that is not helping, but leveling up in the 40s was very rough.
  • yea and the plot in azure bonds was to res moldy, so dead or not, he could have been revived. That was a great plot/story game -- the whole series was pretty good, actually. They really should put in alignment, allow evil characters, and tie that into the pvp scene.
  • A LOT of the high end solo content is rather challenging. The dwarven race fight in WC, my cleric simply could not do at all, for example, and my rogue had a heck of a time with the braindog pack for the quests to assist that trapped drow before going to the final instance in that zone. There were other tough fights too --…
  • If the druid has interesting shape change options (??), which I am not sure of in the new d&d lite rules, it will be plenty popular. If its just an off-cleric, it probably won't be very exciting.
  • Your wife is wise, I would listen to her :)
  • Pigs rock! Try this one... go up behind someone on a mount, on the pink pig, and spam the jump key ... pay particular attention to the LOOK on the pig's face.
  • Should not be too hard to get the IP ... wireshark perhaps?
  • try the old driver. Also try reducing the graphics settings to minimum and see if it crashes with that. make sure the graphics card fan works and that it is not overheated.
  • No one would play a game like that, of course. It is not the game, it is your PC. A game not working on a couple of who-knows-what hardware with who-knows-what user mods PCs does not make the game over-rated. It just means the target PC has some sort of problem that may or may not be easily fixed. I do not know what an…
  • I like the mood/setting but the "find 600 distinct npcs to talk to one time each to get the big reward" is kind of lame. I was really, really, really hoping for a chest costume piece. We get pants and hats out the wazoo, but never a chest item. WHY??? I dunno if I am even going to grind out a skelly. I sort of want one BUT…
  • Yes, if the trailer is any way to judge, we will have a server full of rangers! Who would not want to play a class that apparently (from the trailer) can one-shot everything while taking no damage?! :P I would not worry about it. There will be a "wave" of new rangers, then some people will dislike the class and stop…
  • I hope they do the foundry thing. You can already make a "home" that way, but groups are I think (?) limited to 5 players so no kin hall. It would be nice to allow infinite people into one instance but, the game probably does not support it. Not a fan of access to vip room. I did not buy it, by the way, but already we have…
  • The cat was the last game-breaking bug. No more rollbacks since. Much added content. Endgame is about the same (fight a billionty mobs and a boss all at once, every fight is the same). The 'new' sharandar area is a grind -- you do a few quests daily until you earn enough tokens. After a while you get "boons" which are like…
  • Most likely something with your computer. I crashed a lot until I got the latest graphics driver, for example, after feywild was released. After updating that, once or twice more, but extremely rare. Also, try a clean boot with nothing running except the game if you know how to do that; sometimes background programs or…
  • Char slots are the most efficient IF you are willing to powerlevel up to get the free bags. A character slot purchase gives 2 characters. It costs I think 500 zen? 2 characters (leveled enough for the free bags) gives you what, 3 bag's worth of storage each (bank included)? So for 5 bucks you get 6 bag's worth of space. A…
  • The one thing I am reminded of by this post is how much players would try to exploit in Pen and Paper as well. I remember one guy who made some kind of ranger dagger specialist that could literally get like 5 attacks per round at a very low level and was just insane because he knew the rules inside and out and overtweaked…
  • Interestingly I found the GWF to be difficult to play. It gets *nothing* good until mid levels; the first at will aoe is very late in the game and it takes many levels to get a decent single target basher as well. So there you are with long cooldown aoe attacks that can take out a few trash once in a while but take too…
  • heh they have painted themselves into a corner (the devs). If they nerf it enough to make pvp fair, the folks that bought their gear will be mad. If they make the best enchantments easier to get, they will still be mad. If they leave it as-is, the non pay to play folks will be frustrated with pvp. I do not care (pvp is not…
  • HOW in the world can you have 4 60s and not know how the game works yet lol? Anyway -- each class has feat points and class skills that you pick to make your build. There are a billionty guides in the class forums and online for that, but it mostly comes down to finding a simple synergy between them that works for you to…
  • it is not a scam. Its just gambling, with --- wait for it --- a low chance to get the "jackpot" reward of a mount or pet and a high chance to get a junk reward of total garbage. That is how gambling works --- you take money from a LOT of suckers and occasionally, you pay a small amount of that back if they "win". Except…
  • An issue with monks is having to create a dumb fake weapon item for them to prevent them from being underpowered. Unarmed, giving them "epic" quality fists on par with T2 weapons is unfair (too easy?). Making up those stats on class specific gear is not cool -- not everyone groups to earn the set pieces. The only real…
  • You do not need word, you can probably safely assume there will be a pack with every content release as those packs sell and make money hand over fist. Sit in PE one day and count the unicorn & spider mounts and every time you see one, add $$ to a total and you will quickly see WHY I say there will be a pack for every…
  • About 1 in 10 estimated from the following data... - i have 5 characters that pray daily - they have been getting the ward pack once a week each since open beta - I get 1 blue ward on the average per 2 weeks therefore on the average over that timeframe is 1 in 10 *however* it may be that the rate was recently "adjusted".
  • I question the sanity of adding items in game that improve the function of bot-farmers.
  • Worth it is subjective (no pixels on a screen in a game are "worth" anything, really -- you can sell some items (against the TOS) but if you honor your agreement they have no value). Break it down even more than was already done... - only stat pets (rocks, and cat) are awesome. The others are 99% for fun or of minor use at…
  • the windows and inconsistent interface are annoying for sure. That was like 3/4 of your post, though -- from bank windows to the map to on the move closure to the rest of it. In short, I agree: the interface needs a lot of work. You can't blame the game if you do not read the quest text. The grab a quest without reading,…
  • Random loot is fun but frustrating as well and far, far better suited to a single player game like D3 (yes, you can group up, but it is still a single player game, on par with grouping for shar daily quests here). Lorewise, in the D&D world, EVERY magical item was handcrafted with a fair bit of effort and expense on the…
  • within reason you can post the price you are willing to buy @. So if zen is at 350 today and was at 300 2 days ago, you might for example post that you will buy 1000 @ 325 each. It may sit there for 6 months, as the price may not dip that low again. Or it may go through overnight, or in 2 min flat, depending on the…
  • No way to open them all. Even before the patch that screwed up the drop rate, it would have taken hundreds of bucks worth of keys. NOW, since the goofy patch, every 3rd mob drops a box -- I probably have 500 of the stupid new boxes. Worse, the new boxes do not have anything I want, so when I do buy keys I prefer to open…
