  • I don't think it levels too fast (I speak as someone who sees end game as a grind and not the start of anything I enjoy)... but I do think the comment someone made about replay value is true. I have altitis. Normally this means in a F2P game the first thing I buy is character slots, and that was true in neverwinter.…
  • /facepalm who's complaining? I'm explaining, and suggesting. Please stop defending something I'm not attacking in the first place. I love this game too you know, I'm not insulting it or you.
  • It is out of my way to make the effort to: boot the computer, fire up Neverwinter, allow it to patch if it needs to, wait for login, select character, do invoke (and I am parked at an invoke spot on both characters to save as much time as possible), change characters, do invoke and quit. That's about ten minutes time away…
  • I don't have time to log in for five mins every day. This means these mini-games which you have to maintain over time are difficult for me, not doing stuff when I do get online. Neverwinter is excellent for dipping in and out of: it very solo friendly, it's pretty and mindless, quests don't take too long etc etc. I have…
  • You're correct of course. 2 samples from the RNG does not a case make, usually. But two packs bought within minutes of each other both contained exactly the same quantities of stuff suggests that the RNG in this case doesn't have very wide range of N, or that the R isn't very R :) I understand about clusters and all that,…
  • I kinda feel the same way actually. Agreed are you kidding me? There is practically endless content, just not publisher content. And hey - you can make your own content. It's like, a main selling point of the game. Perhaps you missed it. Complain about the lack of developer content and I could kinda agree with you, but I…
  • It may. If it does, then I didn't notice before I bought it, and after that it's a bit moot if it says anything on the inventory item, cos you've already bought it. However, if it does say in the purchase screen, then I'm an idiot, plain and simple, no hiding from that :) Checked. All it says in the celestial coin…
  • Point of order: steel shears was just an example plucked out of the air without much thought for the real rarity of that specific item - I think I was really just expecting larger quantities or a greater range of the sort of stuff that it was giving out. It was the volume of stuff that surprised me, not the specific stuff.
  • This is very useful info, thanks (and you too, Echokazul)
  • I didn't realise that's what the store gives you. I don't expect anything like that from the free coins. How much is that in Zen? Is that really the equivalent store version? I was thinking there'd be like a 50 zen bag that would give you more or less what the free coins give you, but that in the first place the free coins…
  • Thanks for this. I've just discovered the campaign system which does appear to mirror the boon system somewhat. So that's better than it first appeared, but possibly needs a bit better on screen explanation if you're the sort of person like me who generally avoids 'dailies' because that generally indicates 'grind' - I did…
  • Would like to add my voice to this one - confirmed works fine in IE10 Win7 64bit, but when using chrome (my preferred browser) site often renders poorly, truncating buttons and text, not expanding to show scroll bars etc.
  • I did really enjoy this. Love the idea of difficulty sliders but it must be a pain to have to design your adventure three times over! Its effective though, and I wanted you to know I appreciate it. Some of those fights could use a few extra mobs if possible on hard (played as a L30 rogue this evening).
  • Ah. I was referring to the quality of PW's communication once they decided to do something about it. This was the only conclusion I could draw about what people were complaining about when they were saying things like 'communication was terrible'. I cannot comment on the quality of communications before that point, because…
  • For those that say they gave us no updates, I assume you have seen this post: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?262972-Astral-Diamond-Exchange-and-Auction-House-Offline cos I see 5 updates in the first 2 hours. There's then a break of about 4 hours (which I was asleep for) which I agree is poor because they…
  • I'm don't see how that would affect things in this case: Servers went down at about 2050 (ish) my time (UK) last night. I didnt' know this and tried to log in at 2115ish. Couldn't. Checked forum. There was already a dev post explaining the first two points of my last post. Within an hour there was more info. That's late…
  • Well... since I noticed the servers went down last night I was easily able to find out: 1. that the servers were indeed down 2. that they had been taken down deliberately 3. that it was related to an Auction House/Astral Diamond exploit 4. that all options were on the table, that it might require a rollback 5. updates at…
  • If this exploit was as reported going since the early Beta, then PW have dropped the ball quite badly, and presumably only started looking at this bug when a bunch of people 'got organised' and it could no longer be considered a niche exploit. In any case, to say that the game's economy will never recover is nonsense.…
  • Quite correct, I do apologise. I have not noticed any changes to my rogue's damage output since the update. Thank you.
  • Whilst I don't agree that rogues must be nerfed otherwise DOOOOoooOOOOMM!!!!1one!1!eleven!!, I do think that some changes could be made to make them a little less awesome in comparison to the other DPS classes. I would suggest increasing their stealthed damage whilst decreasing their unstealthed damage as a simple way to…
  • The 'main' game (i.e. regular questing and levelling) is hillariously - hilariously - easy from what I've experienced so far (L21) and, from what my friends who've also come from DDO and who are approaching cap have said, it doesn't get much harder. That is not me complaining, I'm just pointing out that a: if people are…
  • forgive me but I don't see how a plain run bonus while in stealth can be used whilst you can't go into stealth. Can you explain more about how this ability will be used please?

  • AHA! It was an old mouse driver still floating around my system. Found it under add/remove programs of all things, must be from an old gaming mouse... except I've never owned one. Anyway. Standard Win7 drivers back on, and right click is working now, thank goodness.

  • Yeah ive tried another mouse, it does. When I press the button the camera jumps up above looking down from the left, when I release it jumps to looking down from the right. Its not a wireless mouse. Its as if theres a mapping set for on click and another for on release... except there isn't. V frustrating :)

  • I will double check the mouseover on the power - I'm sure it suggested it was only useful from stealth. Checked: yup. 'Sneak attack' class feat: +10% faster run speed while stealthed So... pointless, for five more levels. It just sits there on my bar taunting me. 'Deception' - press tab to enter stealth - appears as…

  • Thats crazy, why give you an ability that only synergises with stealth five levels before you get stealth?! Oh well, I'll wait till L10 before I worry. Re mouse ill check profiles but I doubt it im just using windows defaults afaik. Thanks for replying!

Though I prefer mine (this is…

  • Elminster, The Old Mage, Old Sage, The Chosen Of Mystra, and of course Stinkbeard. Gimme my guardian pack! Gimme NAAAAO!!!! :)
  • /breathes massive sigh of relief
  • Two things to add after mulling it over: 1. the 'form' should only apply to the initial reviewers. The public review form is fine as it is. 2. If Foundry content doesn't scale as I've heard, The initial reviewers form should include an assessment of group play if possible. We were absolutely breezing through things…
