@percemer fair enough, I was expressing my feelings about the recent changes and starting ranting a bit. Of course there is no "obligation" to rank everything up to max, just like there is no obligation to play the game at all. However, if you expect players to take the game "seriously" (as much as a sports fan takes their…

Even once a new player get to 80 and gets all their boons, they're still gonna need to save up: ~25 million ad for companion upgrades (from epic, not including the cost of the companions themselves) ~40-70+ million ad for mounts and upgrades (depending on if you get epics/legendaries and upgrade) ~48+ million ad for…

I was told a while back that lostmauth's vengeance would proc off the dots of weap enchants, and to use dread for more dps. While it was just something I heard, by the time I tested it, lostmauth's vengeance didn't proc at all with dread. I figured that they had "fixed" the multi-procing by that time, but in the process…

I've said this elsewhere, but it's relevant to the discussion, so I'll repeat myself. The stat system is fundamentally flawed. As TIL keeps increases and as long as Total Combined Rating to TIL ratio is below 1, then the combined rating's contribution to stats will eventually fall below 0% because of the 50% - Max(0, [(TIL…
-
Give bonuses based on class that has synergy with that class's features.
-
Yeah, the legendary regal's give 50%, the other two types give 5%. Yesterday, all the legendary prosperity insignias gave 40%. If this is intentional, and they are being nerfed to 5%, I think gold drops should be increased across the board, that would also be more equitable for those who don't use gold gain, and those that…

First, pardon me if I get names of feats and powers wrong, I haven't focused on Wizard too much for a long time. And second, this is a personal "Wish List" of stuff, I know some might disagree with some things and that's ok. I would like for: 1) Chaos Magic to affect allies. 2) Nightmare Wizardry to affect allies. 3)…

If Wards and VIP (without rank increase maybe) were in the bazaar or another store where they can be purchase w/ AD at a higher rate then going through the ZAX, say 1 mil for VIP, 100k ad for 10 wards), I'd be happy. Also, allow mounts to be upgraded optionally w/ AD instead of tokens (like companions), the prices on those…
-
People are gaming the economy. There was a windfall of ad since Bondings didn't have a variant of Choice pack that matched the bound status of the Bonding that was turned in. No one in their right mind would trade an unbound item for a bound one when an option that has value to others is available (e.g. AD). With the…
-
Unless you have hundreds of millions of ad laying around, don't bother with alts too much, it's gonna cost a ton to maintain one toon, let alone 2 or even 3. Trying to maintain 20 is just insane.
-
I have very mixed feelings about these changes...
-
I think the scaling should provide some sort of benefit for progression. As I understand it, it's currently more of a cap on TIL, and baring extra features (gear, feats, etc), a cap on damage and hp. What I would suggest is something like: MIN(TIL, Cap) + [MAX(0, TIL - CAP) * MOD] Basically: if TIL > CAP; then Cap + ((TIL…

For a long time those boot have been good for AoE builds, used in mob clearing. BiS? Idk that's much more complex to prove/disprove, but they are and have been very good for trash clearing on Wizards.
-
This going to be a summary of some of the issues I have with the upcoming changes. I'd like to say first, I appreciate the developers for all their hard work, any negative criticism isn't a jab and anyone personally, I understand that you guys and gals have deadlines and such to meet and sometimes we forget or overlook…
-
My main concern aside from needing to rank up 10-12 new r15 enchants and 4-5 new r15 runestones, is soloing quests on my paladin. While I totally understand that the chicken and xuna are a problem on live, the chicken has been the only thing that makes solo questing on my paladin endurable. Sometimes I wish paladins had…
-
I think the current system is going to progress poorly. Look into the future when item levels go up to 100k-200k, the devs will have to properly allocate Combined Ratings to account for the "Item Level Debt" that will occur after Item Levels pass 50k. However, if they apply too much Combined Ratings and continue to…
-
I was thinking about the way "base stats" work, and what things would look like way into the future. If I understand correctly, for the sake of example, suppose at some point in the future the maximum achievable total item level is 200,000. Then, all stats would incur an "item level debt" of 150,000. What I mean is that…
-
I posted something similar in the patch notes thread, but it seems more appropriate here. I think that it's at least worth considering that some mount bonuses should be to "other contributions" instead of to the base stats, and that mount bonuses to HP should be a % bonus of total HP. The reason is that as item level goes…
-
Voicing my opinion on support roles, as I think they would add value to the game. I think two different paths can be taken in the combat maths to support support roles. One is to make it difficult to cap more than one or two primary stats for a specific role (an offensive stat for dps/heals, defensive stat for tank) that…
-
Can we get support roles (buff/debuff builds) back in the new combat system? I miss playing renegade/mof... it was the closest thing to playing a bard imo. Ofc balance, we don't necessarily want old AA etc spam back, but I liked playing a supportive role and managing buffs and smolder application while also keeping mobs…
-
Considering that sources of "other contribution" bonuses are somewhat rare, imnsho I think mount bonuses should be to "other contributions" percentages (like companion bonuses), this would increase their usefulness and the desire to acquire 10 mythic mounts.
-
As for companion bonuses in PvP, I think if the stat/ilvl pool is too high then they should not apply in PvP. One downside to disabling companion bonuses in PvP is that there are already very limited number of customization points for character builds, disabling them reduces this even further, while on the other hand some…
-
I think the mount power Quick Action needs to be adjusted. Maybe grant a bonus to AP Gain instead of generating AP on daily use.
-
Hi. I've been away from the game since summer time, with the exception of a few days for the new halloween event. There are a few reasons for my declining lack of interest in the game, but most of it boils down to changes that occurred with the release of m16. I think those changes resulted in long lasting negative effects…

A "Buy Now" option for Zen (at a higher rate) is not equivalent to "giving away free zen", This statement is a fallacy trying to narrow the scope of my original argument to one you can easily argue against. 1st thing wrong with fallacy, Ad is not free. Evidence; a player buys zen and converts that zen into AD, i.e. not…
-
Despite the strawman, I may remind you that Neverwinter is a free-to-play game. We could go on about whether or not AD is "free" or whether or not "time is money" is true or not, the fact is that by increasing the value of AD, they can increase their Zen sales to players who are looking for AD. If a player needs AD and…

Nova suggest, in a youtube video, adding some daily challenges along with the weekly challenges, and adding better items to the store. +1 to that. Today some guild mates and I spent a good amount of time doing the weekly challenges, most of it was trying not to die at the end of hc MC (mostly due to lag issues, not that we…
-
Fixing the backlog is easy. Add a "Buy Now" option for 800 ad per zen. Huge ad sink, reduced backlog, lots of people will use it until the backlog goes down. Since it will be a huge ad sink, ad will rise in value until the backlog goes down and the price of zen drops as ad value goes up. Easy.

The hardest part of ToMM, is finding a group who is willing to accept tomm newbs. I spent two weeks looking for a training group, and only managed to get into 2. This is with having over 220k pwr and 355k hp. Also, the 2nd training group I got into, they kicked me out before the run started to invite a more "popular"…

^^ This. Some sort of small dsql of sorts ("domain specific query language", is that even a thing?) would be awesome for guilds, or at least some preset options like "Who has been inactive since XXXX/XX/XX, who where the top N donators of Y over the last week/month. And if we had a dsql, an option to store custom queries…
