  • So a mount and a bag amount to the cost of the average game. I didn't say I cannot afford it nowhere do I elude to it being too expensive for me to afford. If I want to be competitive in pvp I need to "splash out" and that's my "choice" so I can "choose" to get rolled by players who have spent money on enchants/gear or I…
  • I liked the combat ENGINE at first, it's quick and involving. Unfortunately it's also 60 levels of circle on the ground dodging. It has potential but their implementation of one combat tactic is lazy. Having one PvE/PvP encounter in your game does not raid content make. Most good mmo's launch with some end game content,…
  • Everyone's just way too touchy, instead of focusing on the actual point everyone would rather just nit pick. Here's the sentence: "The DND nerds jumping to the defense of a terrible game are baffling" - the subject here is that it's baffling for DnD nerds to be defending this game. You don't come up with an argument for…
  • He stated he enjoys Neverwinter and the Forgotten Realms fantasy series more than others Neverwinter - DND online isn't the fantasy series, it's a game that's cashing in on the intellectual property of DND. They're not the exact same thing at all, Neverwinter and the Forgotten Realms were around long before it was made…
  • I'd be very interested to hear how exactly I'm pushing a personal agenda, if it's this evident it should be pretty easy to come up with some real arguments instead of just being vague. It's not an official gaming site, it's not meant to be one so we agree on that. The mistakes you mention - can you be specific? the point…
  • First off - who claimed anything on either blog was "literature"? ... they're blog posts get your nose out of the air. So I'm to assume you've no real counter argument to the subject of the thread and this is why you've chosen like everyone else to take pot shots at my GF? You claim to have read my post, re-read the second…
  • I ran several teams in WoW in both 2's and 3's (and not raceroll comps like rogue mage priest) to 2800+ Seasaons 1-4 in WoW ... after that I just lost interst in wow due to the direction it was going with expansions. In general if I play a game that has a competitive aspect I do just fine. This has nothing to do with the…
  • Dungeons with 0 trash feels kinda lazy and weak. The problem with the dungeons and adds in this game is they're pretty much all the same boring thing over and over again. The strategy to win most encounters is the same.
  • More classes? -There's no class balance at all (and balance doesn't mean everyone is as good as everyone else at everything, it means everyone has a place and a point and it's not DISADVANTAGEOUS to have classes other than CW's clerics and TR's) -There's no reason to group before 60 -The lvl 60 content takes about a week…
  • I'm not looking to make friends or prizes - I'm looking to point out this isn't a game made to be a fantastic game - it's made to fool gamers into spending money. The comparison was done because both titles left us with a feeling of wishing the book/game/content wasn't awful (I wanted to like this game) it's simply…
  • You'd probably hate more if you'd bothered to play this bug ridden <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> fest :) Stay away IMO - launching in 3 days and still full of a ridiculous amount of bugs / unfinished content
  • I assure you I can carry on a conversation just fine. You simply don't have a firm grasp on terms "pre launch" and "post launch but still evolving" nearly every product in the market evolves now a days. You update windows, consoles, phone etc; anything that connects to the internet pretty much constantly evolves in one…
  • VIDEO GAMES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY. You pay for the game the same as everyone else, and you play it. The option to get ahead by paying more should not exist, I abhor the individual(s) who first brought this idea to light. It is NOT for the benefit of the gamers and it does not enhance gaming;…
  • The mind boggling thing for me is there are plenty of games out there that have functioning loot systems, any I've played that work have been NBG (or back in the EQ days where it was pretty much NBG enforced by players and if you don't like it have fun with no groups). They obviously did the BoE stuff for money generation…
  • There are lots of industries that have lots of questionable practices. This practice should be stopped IMO, and the only way it's gonna happen is if gamers stop paying for half baked <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> products.
  • The article is spot on, I'm waiting for well formed arguments. But I fear it's just going to be more NW fanboys with their blinders on
  • I've already left - I hover on forums from time to time to see if the state of the game has improved; I did enjoy the combat system. But an MMO needs more than flashy combat to have any sort of longevity.
  • The loot should be need before greed, need should remove any possibility of EARNING MONEY from the drop (don't really care if you can vendor it - gold is worthless in this game anyway) Greed gives everyone a fair shot at something if the group just wants to roll on an item for selling purposes. As for leveling up and the…
  • This won't fix jack. Their trade skill system is nothing more than a ridiculously boring facebook game-no real worth can come from tying exp into this.
  • As stated. Everquest amongst other mmo's have the ability to progress your character past max level. EQ contains vastly more depth than this game could ever hope for. There's infinitely more to do at all levels of progression in that game. A real MMO is about a lot more than easy single player leveling to max and constant…
  • Sounds like someone else that cut their teeth in EQ / that genre of MMO. Imagine that loot system in these games - ninjas everywhere. The playerbase isn't nearly what it used to be, all you clowns wanting to buy everything on the AH should go play a single player game. Call me elitest I don't care, the point of an MMO is…
  • You wanting to be able to roll need on other classes stuff to sell it - is asinine and a solution to nothing. If an item is needed it should be BoP - if this does not happen people will abuse it, just like they do most of the short sighted "systems" in this game. NEED means you are going to wear it, should be no issues…
  • I'm sorry buy "people who don't run dungeons" don't deserve any gear that drops inside them. The ability to buy in game items for real life money is weak, especially high end raid gear. Your toon should be a reflection of time spent developing it. Not how much cash you are willing to throw around. Players like you are a…
  • If you cannot see why allowing a person to kick people from a group of randomly formed players is a horribly bad idea you truly are a blind consumer. Take 15 seconds and think about general human nature; then come on back here and try and act like this was a well thought out mechanic. The OP's post is spot on queuing solo…
  • The item is free to claim for any current or future toons. When you go onto the cash shop you will see a "claim" rather than buy option
  • Allowing me sub would net them 15 bucks monthly, not allowing me to will probably net 1 respec per character at 60 and that's it. I won't drop another penny on this game, and that's off principle more than anything else it is not a matter of being able to afford it or not. I don't see how allowing people to choose to pay…
  • sign me up for a reasonable (15) monthly fee that removes the annoying micro transactions (like respecs). I would sign up in no time flat. Worth noting I'd gladly fork over 15 a month provided the game is keeping my interest, I will NOT fork over 6 dollars to respec my toon once (aside from the one time at 60), because…
  • I'm sorry but you didn't address anything in my post and just provided your own reasoning as to why you feel it's fair to charge money to retool a character on a server described as B E T A. I make my living finding software bugs (not gaming related) and it's completely unheard of in any other space to have customer's PAY…

  • Either this game is in beta or it is not. If it's in beta players should be empowered to test anything and everything they can to the limits, without penalty. The idea of charging money to switch specs in a game that is still in beta is nothing more than a cash grab. The original definition of beta testing was to test the…
