This is close. Giving someone immediate access to the foundry without requiring them to play the game at all first would be like giving someone JUST the Dungeon Master's Guide. Sure, they can make an adventure, but they have no idea what the players should be able to do in a dungeon. They won't know what skills do exactly,…

I usually play Chaotic Lawful. Sometimes I go with Evil Good. IRL I think I'm Lawful Good.

My ticket has been open for almost two weeks. I'm smart enough not to come to the forums first; I'm just really frustrated now and I was hoping I could get your attention.
-
I think that rather than play as Drizzt, you should play as a not-before-mentioned party that Drizzt once adventured with. You could create this adventure using the foundry and use the story to explain one of the tiny pieces that was glossed over or left out of R.A. Salvatore's novels. You could play it as a flashback, or…

I won a key by being the runner up in the scary adventure contest. Here we are 90 days after they announced the winners and I still don't have a key...

Yeah, they really do need a PAX South. I'm in Phoenix and its a bit of a drive to either existing US PAX.
-
Another indication that it has not been dropped is that the Castle Ravenloft board game was published in 2010 and has the 4th edition D&D logo printed on the front of the box.
-
We won't really know for sure if Ravenloft exists till our DM writes a campaign that includes it. Then it will exist.
-
I haven't played this one, but I've "played" something similar called Progress Quest, where I have a decently high level character.

Rounding off numbers would negate the satisfaction of doing just a TINY bit more damage after tweaking your character. If you've managed to hit for 2105 damage and make some miniscule tweak to your gear or spec or something and can now hit for 2114 then the rounded off number would be the 211 either way. If you have to…

I really like this idea. I think a slider would be a good idea so you could set it to divide by 10 or 100 or 1000. The problem with this is that when you're chatting with a guildie who says: "I just hit that sucker for 100 damage!" and you're thinking "Man, I hit for TEN TIMES what he does. What a loser." ... because…

The art style of the numbers is very nice. I like the way they pop around the screen, and that they are good colors to make them stand out just enough. As cosmictimber mentioned the point of larger numbers is to enable fine tuning. In Pen-n-paper you'd be hitting for 1-8 damage +3 for your strength (4-11 total) at first…

I wonder if they'll be wiping Foundry content at release.

I guess you didn't hear that 4E is basically WoW on paper. That has always been one of the biggest complaints against 4E, even though I thought the addition of the trinity (tank/dps/heals) worked very well. In the pen-and-paper version I've seen parties that didn't stick to the trinity setup for thier party and still…

The fact that you brushed off DDO so quickly is what loses the most credibility with me. All these things that you're saying that you want are in DDO: Smaller damage numbers. Reasonable level cap. Real D&D rules and gameplay. Skills that match 3.5 exactly. etc. And you didn't even give it a chance. You must be familiar…

I played a homebrew campaign. We were walking down a road going somewhere when a party of bugbears came over the hill and charged us. It was a medium-to-hard 4e encounter. Just as we were about to drop the last guy another party of bugbears came over the hill. There was no time to rest. Just as we were about to drop the…

No key for me. Still waiting to get the key for winning the scary adventure contest.

In 4e D&D they cut the number of attacks per round down to one. I built a two-weapon fighter who was capable of making four attacks in one round occasionally. The extra attacks are nice for quickly taking out a crowd of minions. I've also seen a ranger be awesome with a bow. I guess it would really depend on how well they…

I mostly log in four times a day to see if beta has started yet. Other than that I've been playing Minecraft, Planetside 2, Star Ruler and DDO. Also I have 5 other games in my steam library that I haven't even played yet (Postal 2, Nimbus, Rollercoaster Rampage and 2 monkey island remakes). I actually worry that when this…

Will I be able to run Neverwinter on my etch-a-sketch? If not, I have a Wooly Willie that I might also try; that has pretty crisp graphics and a good response time. How much will I be able to tweak the graphics down to make it work? I managed to tweak the graphics on DDO to get it to run with just some paper and a pencil,…

Right now the game is set to be free to play. That's free to download and free forever. Thus, even if they did do an on-the-shelf box sale I don't think it'd go over very well. They might as well sell whatever they were going to put into the box individually. If they were going to put in an art book, just sell the art…

I'm going to make a quest where you have to kill 5 rats in the basement. When you go down to the basement you only find four rats. To reach the fifth rat you'll need to find the secret entrance to the massive dungeon beyond the basement and fight your way through the dungeon to find the last rat. Then go collect your…

Giving away a mount key? Awesome! thanks.

They repeated over and over the dates that they thought it would come out. And as it got closer to that date and looked like they might not make it then they repeated it less and less. And then when they missed it then they named the new vague date of "Early 2013" and haven't seemed to make a point of repeating it at all,…
-
I'm really looking forward to playing a cleric, as I really like 4th edition's idea of healing but still participating in combat. I know they haven't officially announced it yet, so if the cleric isn't available then I'd probably go with the guardian fighter.

Chrome was the reason I couldn't log in.

Everquest was one of the first MMOs and was released when there was no such thing as an auction house in any game. What happened in that game then? People playing the game created thier own auction house. They picked a spot that was somewhat centralized with an out of the way area with no monsters and where everyone could…

I was runner up in the scary adventure contest. Supposedly everyone got beta keys, but I don't know how to tell if I have. They haven't actually told me anything.

When creating a foundry level the creator adds in encounters they also define the difficulty of each encounter. They can specify that any given monster is easy, medium or hard. Thus, if they wanted to give out better loot then they'd just throw in harder encounters. If they wanted to give out the best end-game loot then…

Dailies suck. As I mentioned, most players want to do the one activity that will get them the best effort-to-reward ratio. If you could hop in and do three 1-second adventures and that was the best effort-to-reward ratio, but there were other things that could be done to get similar rewards for more effort, then you can…
