  • I would be sad, I want to see if one day the construction workers will be able to finish the repairs and facelifting on the houses so I can finally enjoy a Protector's Enclave scenery without any ugly scaffoldings. Let's them have another year, a decade seems a normal amount of time to get that job done
  • Exactly since 21st january 2021, the day the bonding stones removal showered us with AD. The day before that, backlog was 42,4M ^^. Under 40M will be before the first exchange chart was published (mid november 2020) showing how many AD each rank of bonding stone would be exchanged for.
  • Yup ^^. it's currently on a sharp fall around -0.5 waiting day/day since order date. If someone has order(s) made in december 2021, he can do a linear projection : 294 - 0.5 x (date of his order - 17th nov 2021) to estimate the future delivery date ^^, and would probably not be far away from the truth.
  • That's an interesting take ^^. The "still kill credit" situations you have experienced (and honestly probably all of us has experienced) is one of the very few reasons I personnally regret Neverwinter doesn't allow full open PvP "in the wild", even though i'm far from being a fan of PvP ^^ (and understand how pvp "in the…
  • As @greywynd mentionned, this kind of situation is largely related to good/neutral/bad gestures (i help you/i didn't see you/me first and I don't care you arrived before), and how those gestures can be perceived at the instant and the seconds that follow (because you can always try to interact with the other player and…
  • Agree. It has been a very long time since we haven't seen a meaningful AD sink in the game. Especially one that is linked directly to BiS equipments (without the need to go through Zen Market items for upgrading), I can't even remember any since I started playing (in mod10). The bonding stones effect, which led the backlog…
  • Updated graph dateformat is dd/mm/yy Currently the waiting time is droping quite faster than I had anticipated, even with the "square" prediction. I kept the 2 prediction lines as they were on 5th August, just to show "how far" I was (1 month later and already overshooting +10 days from the reality with the square, +14…
  • Back from holidays, I'm collecting your datas and will put a new graph. And it seems it follows the "square" prediction from the last graph i made rather than the linear one ;) @rikitaki ;)
  • For the most part, predictions can only be somewhat accurate inside a relatively constant situation. Given the "event" nature of Neverwinter, it is bound to be inacurate the further in the future we are from the last entry, and the closest the last entry is from an impactful event. A new module, an exceptionnal sale…
  • Updated graph. (date format dd/mm/yy, I hate US format) The effect of "mod23 AD sinks" can be seen. I added the waited time at delivery date in case it can bring something to the table. Prediction lines are calculated as if the waiting time was a distance from the order date, so the variation of the waiting time over time…
  • Doesn't appear to be the criteria preventing the artisan bug to happen. With 30 workshops, all of them running the summer fest since at least 2019 + 1 more since 2021, and having experienced the bug since 2020, this year i tried various combinations at the beginning to see if I would be able to pinpoint the cause. Entering…
  • 12 in a row the same day is in my opinion quite extreme, and the best way to burn someone out. There are 7 days in a week (call me captain obvious ^^). Doing 2 or 3 dragons per day is fine enough to get the weekly haul. And if you don't manage to reach it at the end of the week, it isn't the end of the world, you will…
  • I do agree the dragonslayer "campaign" (quotemarks) is not well designed, but I also can't understand this : Helping friends and guildies is not a reason to go back to something someone is done with ? (edit : i quoted the wrong user ^^, mistakingly attributing the words to @unknowndrama , it's now corrected :P)
  • Problem is not that Band of Air is hard to obtain. True issue is the too huge gap between it and any other ring, letting the feeling there is no lesser viable alternative, and despite your ability to finish VoS HC. It's far worse to be unlucky/don't have enought opportunities on the Band of Air than, let's say, have had…
  • Mmmh. Unsure I do understand where you want us to go with that in relation to the topic (or the off-track topic about the amount of players) ^^. But let's try :P So, for the Zax, these type of players would unlikely have an effect according to your description. To be honest, I think they do have a tiny one, but as a…
  • It's not a bug, it's a feature. In the shop, they have bank slots and big bags to sell.
  • You're welcome ^^. I didn't disagree with that :P. I disagreed with the idea (not yours) random queues (in general, not specifically RTQ) were designed to help strangers/solo players, and the idea queue rewards should be better the less premade the party is. My oldschool opinion hasn't changed about queues : any…
  • "Some reward" is not the same reward. You were talking about an unfair advantage for premade/friends, why would we have an unfair disadvantage on rAD while playing with friends, guildies, allymates ? RQ goals : https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1234049/official-feedback-thread-random-queues/p1…
  • There are tons of games which are including a nod (subtle or obvious) to IRL, be it to a player, to a past event, to one people, even to brands... Leroy Jenkins in WoW has a NPC an achievement and a title (and a card in hearthstone), the daggers "lordsotheuses" in french Dofus were named after Lordsoth the first player to…
  • I'm sorry @rikitaki, I think I can't agree with your point. We can argue solo tagging RQ is nothing else but kind of a "personnal choice". I can't consider being social in a MMORPG, taking the time to organize/join/communicate with some other players building a complete party, as an "unfair advantage" in earning ingame…
  • My sincere condoleances to WickiD's family and friends. I met him when my brother and I were unguilded newbies, exploring, discovering and questing for the first time in the well of dragons. As everyone imagine, WickiD was calling a DR. After I asked him in private what it was about, he explained me, grouped us, kept us in…
  • So we may never see a full year of "patience" to get Zen via the Zax ^^. The waiting time, after peaking at 349 days on june 26th, is suddenly bending down to 339 (consistently with the last 5 consecutive entries I gathered from here and my guild/ally). It follows (with some 2-3 weeks of inertia) the backlog's big drop we…
  • For extrapolations or statistical purposes, we can consider steam players as a representative sample of total players. Here are the same steam numbers mentionned above by @mentinmindmaker, but in bars, with modules and various NW infos pointed on the month they happened (yeah, i love graphs).
  • I don't know man, honestly I have no issue at all finding 4 players whenever i want to successfully run an all bosses VoS HC, even if I'm playing a sub equiped reroll. But i'm quite a social player, it probably helps a lot. Building and maintaining relationships can lead to success in a MMOPRG. Who would have guessed ?
  • So far, we can't say, we are not deep enough in mod23 to really conclude anything on its effects on the Zax. We will have to wait at least end of july to really tell if mod23 AD sinks are efficient enough (and durable enough). But there are good signs ^^. Backlog droped 2M AD in june with 1.5M being in the last 15days (so…
  • I really don't mind a significant difference in difficulty depending on the color of the chromatic dragon we are facing. BUT, if I remember correctly my table D&D (which never got further than 3.5), chromatic dragons are, on average and at a comparable age, ranked from the weakest to the strongest (power, capabilities,…
  • Dates are in dd/mm/yy format on the graph ('cauz i'm french) Bonding stones is very visible on both lines (after 22/01/21).
  • There is (and there has always been) a Jubilee effect on the Zax. Even when the Zax was still breathing between backlog and undercap, around may/mid-may, roughly 1 month before the event, Zen's flow into the Zax really significantly slow down. And we are pretty close to the Jubilee. Is the "Jubilee near" effect the most…
  • So dark theme is back. That's an improvement for my eyes ^^. @nitocris83 Things I still find bothering : Inside a thread : - no difference between the message/signature white line separator and the message_A/message_B white line separator => it's difficult to see at first glance where a post ends, especially as some users…
  • Personnally, the main problem I have is the color theme. The structure in itself doesn't seem to have change much (it feels more dense, which is not something i dislike). But the "all light grey and white" everywhere certainly doesn't help browsing and picking things at first glance, because lack of contrast between the…
