Well, Wizards is Wizards. Whatever else they are, they're definitely in it for the money, regardless of the product. My personal D&D player group is somewhat pissed off by the fact that Wizards decided to cash in with the 3rd to 3.5 edition change, launching a full new range of books only after a couple of years of the 3rd…
A world that didn't exist yet? Dude, I'm pretty sure the Forgotten Realms world predates Greyhawk. The genesis of Forgotten Realms dates back to the 60s. In any case, great or not, Greyhawk is Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms is Forgotten Realms, and Neverwinter is Forgotten Realms. I'd just rather not mix great things.
Being a hard core Forgotten Realms fan, I'm not sure how I feel about there being Greyhawk <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in this game... But I guess it's better than some Game of Thrones or Final Fantasy adventure. Still, I'd much rather see Pool of Radiance, Azure Bonds, Silver Blades, or something like that. You…
There's a reason you can't find a healer. If you can't figure out what the reason is, look in the mirror. People are horrible. Nobody in their right mind wants to play with people. Are you people? Well then, there you go. I would love to play an MMO, and find out that humanity consists of actual sentient and empathetic…
Unlike the previous question, the answer of which the vast majority seemed to get wrong, this one is pretty straightforward. So much so that I doubt anyone gives the wrong answer here. The answer being, of course, the oath-breaking festival of the Reign of Misrule, and the Festival of Lovers, more commonly known as the…
If you order something, does the mailman deliver it to the camping site you're that weekend? Does he deliver it to the football field you're at that evening? Does he find you at the mall in order to give you the mail? Nope. In real life, you either pick up mail at the post office, or you get it delivered home. Since we…
I'm at level 48 now on my cleric. I did a couple skirmishes on the lower levels, and that was it. Since then I have avoided playing with other people like the plague. It's not the game. It's the people.
Item wipes - or rather, resets - will still exist, just as in pretty much every MMO thus far; some content patch will add a new tier of places to farm and a new tier of items. Those items will then basically "wipe" your gear.
The youth today want everything for free, everything right now, and everything perfect. If the product has a "beta" label on it, it undermines their whining about how that something wasn't perfect, or right now (in the case of maintenance.) It's much easier calling it the actual finished product, and then crying about it.
If an instance takes an hour, you can't blame anyone for leaving. Or, if progress is ridiculously slow, or if a boss doesn't seem to die. Yeah, I know people should reserve enough time to finish an instance, but if the instance is taking twice as long as it should, then you can't expect them to have come prepared for that.…
That's exactly what a beta should be about. Sadly though the vast majority of people treat beta as some kind of VIP privilege where they get to play the game before it's released. So, whether there's a wipe or not, the vast majority of people playing Neverwinter now in it's open beta phase would be playing in the exact…
The problem is, people who do not spam, people who use the zone chat with courtesy, self-control and with zero spam, still get muted, because the mute squads out there target people arbitrarily.
Players. If you get ignored by a certain number of people, you get muted. There are people out there griefing others, ignoring them on purpose, for fun, even in larger groups, in order to do this.
Yeah, if only "calling someone over" did something good. It just doesn't. Also, it's nice for you, if you're one of the ultrarare people who actually know what they're doing, and care about the team and what's happening to them, but it makes no difference when you're the cleric who has to put up with the rest of the…
Although... How often is the quitter the cleric who tries to heal his buddies, who completely ignore the hordes of adds that spawn and go straight for the cleric, who then does everything to try and stay alive, self-healing and drinking potions, often dying several times too, while the others just keep banging away at the…
The truth is though, as good as people think the OP is, and as much as people would want that kind of posts to come from the developers, the moment that would be the case, there'd be someone else crying about some other facet of said communication, or some completely different thing. No amount of eloquence on the…
The professions event has nothing to do with your professions, which are Leadership and crafting. It's got to do with your class ability and kits as was pointed out; religion, arcane, nature, dungeoneering, thieving.
The original post was somewhat confusing to me, mixing in $ needlessly, so I thought I'd clarify it for myself, and for anyone who didn't follow: * The mount costs 2500 bars. * There's 10 bars in a lockbox. * Mount therefore requires 250 lockboxes to be opened with keys. * Keys cost 112.5 zen a piece (1125 zen for 10…
There are people out there who are purposefully serial ignoring people in order to mute them. These people have also been known to create groups for this exact purpose.
There are plenty of ways for permanently changing ability scores in D&D. There are of course the tomes, which grant you an inherent bonus of +1 to +5, there's ability drain which permanently reduces an ability score, and then there's of course Wish, which basically can allow you to do pretty much anything, including…
If there's a respec, then there's no point in limiting it so that stats can't be rerolled, and reallocated. At the very least there should be an additional "stat reroll/reallocation" option, perhaps for an even bigger zen cost. I personally couldn't give two bits if it costs more, as long as I don't have to delete my soon…
