While I agree that some mechanics are player driven (like economy) there are some functionality then to be universal. (or at least quality of life as some would say) Account wide bank should have been available from the get go (especially if you have account bound items) some of the features are similar STO. While I…
XP boost is one thing but auto level is a whole different story. XP boost means that you STILL have to play the game but get extra exp to level faster. Auto level is like buying power. Buying power is always a bad idea in the long run of the game. When you can instantly create another character for PvP vs another player…
Granted that pay mount people DO get faster speed BUT since mounts are bought with ZEN, you CAN get them too with TIME (i.e. collect AD and convert to ZEN) so it is consider convenience. NOW... what is advantage is account bound companion pets in packs vs Zen Companions (one character only)
Agree. you put it WAY better than I did. I bought the packs to support the game. Now The exclusive DOES have one major advantage that I see. Account wide access to companion (to those who may not know it, but companions in the packs can get redeem to all character and future character. To an alt-o-holic like me, this is…
I see, but the packs should not be bought with Zen because the revenue gain from packs help promote the game being Free to Play and all. I understand why some players would WANT to purchasable with Zen. That way, you can technically get everything free (including unique items) via Zen without spending any money and just…
This. Yes some will think certain items is overprice and some will not. My evidence? well, remember when some items was not selling as well and "overprice" those item prices eventually drop. Now current items are being sold (assumption) because the price retain and didn't drop in the "mass price drop" I personally usually…
this could work, but that is a lot of data to store. It would almost be a person "run history" so to speak. A player will have a stat open to other player to view? something like how many instances they have ran before, average time run, average drop and such? (that is how it would happen I presume and when you join the…
Guild rank in general would only give "false sense" of info to new players. Why is Guild B rank 100 vs Guild A rank 1? Plus, Guild rank shouldn't have rewards. This just further promote "one sided" play. I do believe in guild PERK! where players can donate and make the guild grow. Granted that larger guild (or players with…
plus I'm an alt-o-holic :) I love playing different class and hate to buy things over and over again. If you (the general You.. not you personally) only play one character, I can see why to some packs are not a good deal :)
There are two parts to this. One, get more people into the forums. We have devs and mods here answering question. It is a good way to get discussion and such. Having just a blog (no replies) to something might be good and informative, but there might be more info in a discussion forum. two, keeping information post in one…
I usually buy packs because they have items that is ACCOUNT wide :) that is my personal draw to packs. Account Wide companion? sign me up. I'll shell out $60. that is why I bought all the large pack so far.
I agree. there are couple of ways to do this. 1. Upon equip, the companion is account bound. You can trade your companion between YOUR characters via account bank box. 2. upon purchase, the companion can be redeem by any current and future characters (like packs) BUT they are not tradable (system already in place) 3.…
What misinformation? Mounts in ZEN stores - all characters Then the question was ask about companions. Companions in packs (Knights of the Fey and such BUT NOT starter pack companions) are also account wide. Companions purchase individually from Zen store are SINGLE use. That is what people have been saying.
I highly support this. It would be nice to do less click and it would reduce traffic with page load on the server. I would also like a Collect all button (ianthewizard2012 suggest this) I would say "assign all" button would be good and the system will assign as much as it allowed (either 3 or no limit)
I am surprise this bug is still in game. STO doesn't allow this. If you click cancel or move item, the other trader automatically "uncheck" until the new offer is in place and check again.
Actually that would rise prices :) why? Zen still has to be bought by someone. The limiting factor is CASH. Players must be willing to buy Zen and put up in AD/Zen exchange. If there is a rush to buy Zen, then the cost will go up (especially with a sale coming and all) people want Zen to buy sale items and thus will buy up…
As with any "business" (I call it business cause you are here to earn "money" aka AD) you need to find out the market. What do people need/want? what is hard to find that you may willing to part for some extra AD? How to obtain that item "cheaply" and sell it on the market to make a nice profit? Blue items, pets (drops)…
It all depends on the conversation. If the "words" contain anything that could be against EULA (racist comment, bad language and just harassment) you could get a ban if any were true (the "friend" would have to check the chat logs and dish out any standard punishment for anyone. but if you did not do any of the above and…
There is a lot to be said when DM a group (controllable) vs MMO. MMO is HARD. Heck, I can barely keep up with a group of 6. (usually game with 4-5 but you get the idea) At least with small group, you can change the "rules" on the fly unlike MMO.
well. It sounds nice, but also think about this. Why would they cut prices if they are making money? Lets say a mount cost $50 and 1000 people bought them (1000 people is a MADE UP number) that is $50,000. If they drop the price to $30, they would have to see at LEAST 1666 of them to make the SAME money (give or take) so…
This. You don't need the packs to play (I bought them all) It is a trend. Cryptic will release limited edition to people who buy the packs BUT will also release the "general edition" to everyone else. It makes sense.
Keep in mind that Runebane did ALL the characters in 30 minutes (which can be done) log in, invoke, pick your profession and done for the DAY. That is less time than some people spend getting ready and have breakfast.
It would not be good for Zen BUYER if the salvage were to go directly to refined AD. It would cause the price of Zen to 500 max all the time (since that is hard coded) It is for economic balance. It is good for all players. A player may have a great 1-2 day run and can just refine 24k a day for the rest of the week come…
