It's not what keeps me playing, it's what is grating on my good senses lately. I stopped playing for almost a year because I needed a break. 1. No refinement tab. Why must I have non-bound, account bound and character bound versions of the same items. I paid for the lesser hoards, built them up myself, and yet you consider…
1. The "PvP Patch". I don't PvP. If Pvp was the same for everyone I might. You have button mashers, better computers, stronger connections that make PvP so unbalanced, it's just an E-Peen experience for some and i don't need to overcompensate for anything. Cooperative play wins every time. 2. PvP Before and After. See #1.…
If what you say were true, there would be no green or blue pets in the store. I'm not interested in wasting money as a prerequisite to waste more money. SCA and active pet bonuses Do not provide $37 worth of benefit, and do not deserve to have it paid as a result. All of the improvements are trickle-down, so something that…
I still see no point in paying so much to upgrade the pets. I've tried to split the zen and diamond aspects of the game but i still end up putting a value on the diamonds. They added SCA so we would see a reason to do it, but you just get a possibility of a blue pet that you once again have to pay to upgrade. Again, why…
I should have mine in April. As far as i know I've logged in every day but could never get a consistent 20-hour turn-around due to work and, well, real life. I only got two of the reset drop during the event you could get ardent coins. I don't know why they chose to make it take a year to get. It'll likely sell for…
I think you misunderstood the OP. He's saying as opposed to wasting a key on the lockbox equivalent of a "rank 3 enchantment from an adamantine gauntlet", that they actually put something in every box that would at least be useful. I stopped buying keys after spending 70 bucks and lucking out with absolute <font…
There is so much wrong with refining it's sad. Getting Minor and Lesser Marks out of the final chests in Dread Ring is the best example. At that level you will do absolutely nothing with them. You won't slot your gear with anything less than a rank 4, rank 5 if at all possible, due to the fact the costs are ludicrous and…
I know I do not want a refining process for mounts. i burn every enchantment i loot on getting my artifacts up, and it is a slow as all get out process. to think of having yet another fun-draining process added to the game is too much. All i did with refining was change my reason for not doing it. the change made to add…
Seriously, at the current pricing for mount upgrades, it's just not going to happen. it doesn't take a seasoned developer to realize this. At a year there could be any number of surveys done, asking us what we like, what we don't like, what we might or might not use if the prices went up/down, whatever. The pricing needs…
Yes, you end up losing stats wearing the expansion tier 1 gear vs the dungeon/pvp tier 1 gear. they remembered the set bonuses for the fomorian and fallen Dragon weapon sets, why not the armor?
There have been instances where my rogue looted an iron coffer to get a Mark of Potency and an Aquamarine only for it to not end up in my inventory. I have also seen quantities greater than one listed but when it showed up in inventory it was only one. I asked around in chat and others are either not getting what they saw…
I do not support this as a viable option until one of the following happens: 1. a stable of sorts where you can pull the skin you want for your mount. Without that you will just eat up the skin and have to pay out the wazoo to recover it later if you decide you want to go back. This way you would also have a place to store…
I'm going by the free to play way which means going by the ward's you buy on the AH or get out of celestial boxes. You assume I will buy preservation wards. They added the up front cost to refining because people weren't using it. God knows what they will do with mounts and companions since we are obviously not using those…
If you play the free to play way, here's the average timeframe for getting what you want/need at 60. Note this is all based on one character doing all the work. it may be easier, take less time if using multiple character slots. coalescant wards, need 14-15 per enhance slot.So 30 in all. Divided by the max refining per day…
This may be true but you have to be honest about the value of the "and the refinement" part. Using the old system, you could have just combined the enchants\stones using 4 of the same type to make the next level, with no epic marks. You just used preservation wards to ensure eventual success. How many rank 4's get eaten up…
This is how I think chests work for the most part. If the first person who loots it gets something that everyone gets to roll on, such as a blue, a loot roll pops up and the chest is unlootable until it finishes. If enough people force loot rolls opening the chest, the chest becomes unlootable by everyone as it seems that…
This is spot on! Getting whites and green lesser marks out of level 60 areas is very unreasonable. There is not a large enough drop rate to even try to avoid the bazaar, and Cryptic knows that. They also know you have to do some enchanting to have minimum gear scores for dungeons, so either you buck up and play their game…
The new system blows compared to the old. I now have two versions of some items, a regular and a bound version. I now have stacks of marks i cannot use that take up the same inventory spaces my old stones took up. Where's the space-saver benefit they discussed ad nauseum in beta? Since I have not gotten any blue potency or…
Since you can only get it at level 60 and only have a 1% chance to get it as a drop, and it is BoP, it should be a purple base-item and be salvageable so you can do something constructive once you get extras. But don't get me started on arcane coffer reward qualities. it pretty much sucks all around.
I think they should look at all of the different Leadership quests and re-rate the rewards based on: 1. Time to complete. 16-18 hours to help a priest or wizard for 200-300 diamonds and 20 silver vs. 12 hours with no requirements for 1600 diamonds and 60 silver. Which would you do? I for one have never taken the…
At the point when the event hits the zenith period, rewards will likely double, so 3000-3200 is not too high a number knowing that. You can get them out of kits and off mobs as well as the event. It would be nice if they were more common off the mobs so you didn't feel compelled to go to the holiday zone if you don't want…
Setting a global quantity similar to zen would fix the issue. I've only ever opened lockboxes on my main as I don't want to feel trapped into buying keys to fix a mistake, but that is likely the hidden goal of BoP.
This lack of forward planning comment is a joke. So we have to foresee and take necessary steps in advance of a change we didn't ask for or just suffer because of it? What kind of a company specifically goes out and does something that we should have to consider foreseeing to circumvent an option? Seriously, I will not use…
As I said, arcane coffer loot sucks for the natural timeframe it takes to reach adamantine level. You start out already at 60 and you're dealing with rank 3-4 stones and white and green refinements as possible rewards. Sure they are free, but isn't everything else you loot in the game free? I can go to Whispering Caverns…
In my opinion, the three daily dungeons are too easy. Just fill up a party and you are done in five minutes, and then you can move on to something else. Same with Sharandar. Making dungeons more difficult on scaling to groups, and giving better percentages of better drops in the final chest would be a step up. Also,…
Well, I won't worry about it then. At 20 bucks for a non-account pet, not worth it when I'll have to pay another 25 bucks to make it purple. Glad I wasn't the guinea pig on this one.
In case someone missed it let me rephrase the important bits... Completely ridiculous Just wait till you see how much it costs to go all the way to Purple. MUCH cheaper to just buy a Zen Store Companion and be done with it. Better yet, get one of the Packs and get a Companion that unlocks for every Character on your…
