I confess my lack of technical knowledge, so pardon my ignorance, but is it not wildly implausible that people all over the world experienced a simultaneous issue with their respective local ISPs?
-
I commented about this, too. I was perfectly calm about the 5 hours of stalled patching until I saw that news update. Buy Zen? You're seriously plugging for more micro-transactions while however many of us can't even access the game? Such a bad move. For next time, I suggest a maintenance update, coupled with an apology,…
-
Update if you get past 11% ;)
-
So what we should be doing is determining what we all have in common...? What is our mutual crime, my fellow outcasts?
-
Yes, agreed. Alchemy and Leadership seem like they'll both be useful and profitable. The game is super potion dependent, so being able to craft them will be (literally) magic. You only need one toon to be the designated crafter, for outfitting alts or selling craftables. That has the benefit of keeping all your assets on…

It is annoying but i've not felt all that annoyed about the stalled patching... right up until I saw an updated item in the News feed of the launcher, "Get Bonus Zen!" **** your Zen. I'm going to need a functional launcher first, Cryptic. Can I have one of those?
-
Yes, it is. Very stronk.
-
It's Us and Them now...
-
A spot of tea and a light masturbation.
-
and by premonition I mean, "memory of previous patches".
-
I must have had a premonition; I made a special point of invoking and setting long professions tasks on all my toons before the server went down (after all of the 15 minutes that I played, hooraaaay...)
-
You shouldn't despair; they very likely have a record of the transaction, even if it was not completed. Unfortunately we are unable to help you, aside from directing you back to PWE customer service.
-
Mine has been stuck for 3+ hours. Twice it restarted altogether. Surely they can offer an alternative download, seeing as they are unable to maintain a stable patcher.
-
It may seem silly to you, but you can surely imagine a situation where someone has a fixed income and only so much money for leisurely expenses. They choose to spend some or all of that budget on a game, and don't get what they expected. So sure, he might not be destitute and on the streets, but that doesn't mean his claim…
-
Yeah, i'd much prefer a subscription fee with a few sensible cosmetic/convenience advantages. I dumped the money because I had the money to spare, and I don't have many vices IRL. I scoff at people who waste money on alcohol and cigarettes, and I guarantee, that's many many thousands of dollars more wasted than the petty…
-
I agree with you. To put things in perspective, I bought both founder packs (initially only the $60 one, but later realised I wanted early access, so bought the $200.). I even bought the Warg mount, the golem companion, the stone of allure and a heap of professions packs. So you're preaching to the choir about spending…
-
Perhaps they mean, for crafting to be a meaningful exercise for that particular character? Because certainly, your character will level much faster than your professions will, so you're constantly out-levelling its usefulness. The gear you can craft will very rarely be better than anything you find, with the exception of…

Whoever were the progenitors of the phrase is quite irrelevant to its usage by the gaming community. The phrase is demonstrably used by gamers to describe games where effort is not necessary to win. You can spend the hard time, at the whim of chance (of items dropping, and others not ninja-needing it), or you can just get…
-
Again, I feel I need to point out that "Pay to win" does not entail "paying is necessary for winning". Its meaning is rather more simple. Pay to win, because you can pay, and then you can win. It is a far more specific reading to suggest it means "And is also a necessary condition of winning".
-
It is a very "real" and "meaningful" way in the sense that it is literally inferred by the phrase. You are applying YOUR rather strict reading of the phrase and deciding that any other reading is incorrect. That's not really how language works. "Pay 2 win" has demonstrably been used to describe games where EFFORT and MONEY…
-
That is exactly what myself and a few other posters are saying is the mistake here. "Pay to win" does NOT imply that you MUST spend money. What is implied, and explicitly stated, is that you pay money and then you can win. It's a phrase that is used to describe games where effort and money are interchangeable. It's used…
-
I like the game. I bought the founder's pack, a Warg mount and quite a few professions packs. Quite a lot of money there, yet indeed, as you say, mostly on convenience items. However, let's not kid ourselves about the current framework. If i had wanted to, I could haved used my 2.8 million bought AD, as well as the Zen I…

Well, it's not helpful to characterise criticism as being "whining" or "crying" simply because YOU are satisfied with the game. It's their game too, and they're not satisfied. If you respected this diversity in opinion, you wouldn't be disparaging them quite rudely in this way. You may not agree with a complaint, but just…

After 20 minutes stuck at 53%, 866.7MBs increased to 870MBs patched. Then went back to 0%. Then quit that and instead offered me a "Patch" button. I pressed it, because yes, i'd quite like that!
-
+1. I think some people are more inclined to sycophancy than others. I do appreciate the game, an appreciation I have expressed through the dollars I invested. So no, they don't get my thanks, because it's a business. Improving the product is good business sense, assuming turning a profit is their ultimate goal. If they're…

I'm stuck at 53%. I feel unique!

My sympathies. I detest Gear Score. I'm really sad to see it in a D&D game. I noticed the other day how most advertisements in Zone chat for a CN group state, "Experienced only please" Made me wonder how an inexperienced player is expected to, you know, get experience. "Speed run, pre-clear" Power gamers are a boring…
-
Excellent idea. If we have one character, we ought to have the 16 bank slots. With a second character, it becomes 32 slots and so on and so forth. Particularly in a game where we have to log in each time we swap characters... As a side note, can we have that changed please? "Log Out to Character Screen" is a pretty basic…

I obviously don't like the gambling boxes, but I think i'd mind much less if there weren't SO VERY MANY of them. The drops should be far rarer. Initially I was picking up dozens in a single play. They are now, yes. They initially weren't.
