I just released my error here. I was using a setup were my encounter powers don't do any real damage therefore would not crit and also would not proc Infantile Compensation on non-crit hits. Swapped my powers around and my pet was activating infantile Compensation. So it was in fact my fault for not reading the Owl Bear…
Talk about jumping to conclusions. Lets see. As people already stated when this game first came out you only had purple mounts to the game in the zen store. The lock box mounts were only vanity items that really did do much for that person. Then cryptic changed the game big time by adding mount combat powers and insignia's…
Then people would purposely gimp themselves to speed run the dungeon. So in general your idea sounds good but would end up not being effective. Mostly because of: There is a whole post about bronze runs vs. gold runs in this forum discussing a similar problem. I'm not saying your idea is not a good one but something tells…
This mount looks awesome! I'm sure some are going to complain about the stat's, but like the Tensers Disk the look for the mount will be it's main selling point. It's to bad I will probably never be able to get one. Anthony did a great job on the design and effects on the mount!
The solution is to get rid of voting (its a time sink anyway like the cut scene's we have seen a 1000+ times) and only have loot available at the end of the skirmish. The only other option I see would be to allow the public que system a choice if you want bronze, silver, or gold and you only que up with those people. Tell…
The drop rate (relic gear) for mSP is just as bad and suffers from the same RNG problem that FBI has as far as getting the wrong relic pieces. Not only that it takes longer to complete mSP.... so yes it drops from mSP. Until Cryptic comes up with a guaranteed (Seals of some form would be nice) way to get the desired gear…
Well said @beckylunatic ! I have been playing this game since mod 1, and one of the draws for me was the fact that you could get the fastest available mount from the zen store that was account wide.... other games (as a remember them) required a huge grind to get the fastest mount and generally only worked for one…
The drop rate on the +4 companion gear is bad.... not only is it bad but like underdark you could end up with a +4 that is not good because there are quite a few to random into.... They just need to give us a non-rng (seal vendors) way to get these items... seriously the RNG in this game is no fun....
I'm sure AA is already being looked at, but I have to agree with @xsayajinx1 why do I want a longer dungeon experience for a lackluster (although improving) rewards system. I can and have done all content successfully without a AA DC. The only difference between having one and not having one was the amount of time it took…
Though I do agree with you @tripsofthrymr , at least about premature pitchforks, there is a problem at the heart of this "NEW" system, actually a few if we are serious about it. The chest that requires a campaign key or dragon key will take years or lots of $'s to reach the sample size needed to see that a change was…
Though i have not "opted" out of mod10/10b I feel the same you do @silverkelt. I like playing all classes of neverwinter, admittedly I don't play very good on some, but I like to get a feel for how each class plays. I do have a main that will be BiS after this weekend and 2 alts that can do all but eSVA, 10b is just to…
Well meet! IDK maybe I said it before Zeb did or not.... :wink: Hopefully, you are ready, if not welcome to the pot :wink: . Sounds like you been around a gaming community for some bit not to mention you are already a seasoned CM so you have experience. It is also good new that you work in the same space as the Devs, which…
All I can say is you worked very hard Andy and you took a lot of heat (from the community and no doubt the Devs) for doing your job. We will never know exactly how much you did behind the scenes to make thing better for us (gamers) and neverwinter as a whole, but never the less you made an impact. Sorry to see you go, but…
Yeah, old Neverwinter (mod 1-5), did not have any of the grind that I experienced from other MMO's. This is what drew me into this game, well and the combat. Because of RnG and the sheer amount of campaigns we have to complete, this system is getting harder and harder to maintain anything but a main character. In every…
BiS prior to Mod 6 is different than it was now. I would say more that people had preferred sets rather than BiS set. For example, HV set was a must have for CW's, but you could us any set or combine different sets. For me, I preferred the the purified black ice set because because the of the healing bonus it provided to…
I think lots of players would not care about the gear(armor) and would just grind it(armor) for the new class. The OP makes a good point. It wouldnt be much of an undertaking say if someone wanted to go from OP(tank) to GF, almost all gear would translate over expect for the armor....but many wouldn't care about…
I think at this point I might be trying to hard to like this game..... Don't get me wrong the new zone is awesome looking but the campaign stuff attached to it is a pain and moving through it is really slow. I like the idea behind some of the treasure maps but I have threw out 2 because I just can not find them.... With…
Thanks for you input all and I have to say that from what I'm reading your all just as frustrated as I am. @qexotic , I did read you post on the preview forums and also saw the responses (or lack of). This is exactly what burns me about the whole empowerment system. Maybe the uproar wasn't as big as the key debacle but a…
