Thunder, I understand your sentiment. HOWEVER... This poster isn't a real poster. They're here to spam the forums with a link, and bail. If people were jumping on someone who had just posted something off topic, that would be one thing. But this is spam, and potentially harmful spam. SO Before we get into a crazy flame…
1. Beta should wait until closer to launch. If a game has a bad beta, it could turn people off. People expect bugs, but there are many many more people who don't fully understand what it means to be in beta. 2. Foundry- voice options: can we choose voices for the npc's? IE: set a generic voiced greeting when people…
Replies in this blue color. It's just a suggestion, and of course there are pros and cons to anon/non-anon mods. I just hope that we don't glorify the mods, and that we are able to separate their posts from actual Cryptic/PWE "canon" if you will.
The redirect thing is a known issue. Melanderi posted about it some time back when truth seeker was asking. I'm too lazy to find the post, but it said to email customerservice@perfectworld.com if you are getting the redirect error. Hope that helps! I hope that the mods have separate mod accounts, that way they can remain…
There was indeed a trap in the E3 demo- the chest right before the mobs before the last boss had a trap. If you happened to get a character with perception, you could see it and mark it, but if you just walked up to open the chest you'd find it that way too ;p
You raise valid concerns. HOWEVER Lets look at what gameguard is intended to do. First, it's not there to protect just account security. Cryptic has an Account Guard system that is intended to make logging in more secure (of course, this doesn't protect in "PEBKAC" issues! Don't share your account info, yo). It's there to…
It would work really well with guild alliances, or even just going out and spreading word of your guild- a group of adventurers needs a healer, so they go to the a friendly Order and acquire the services of a cleric. Makes for great out of guild RP options, and allows for crossing story arcs. Even the "guild within a…
Personally, I want a guild to have a purpose. I'm not really one for pure social guilds- for me a guild needs to be more than just a chat channel. One thing that always bugged me about guilds in many mmo's I've played is the guild bank. It's a good idea, but too often it becomes a place where people put things that just…
Officially, only Windows is supported by support. This doesn't mean it's not POSSIBLE to play on OSX or one of the various flavors of Linux, but if you ticket in to support asking OS specific questions, they can't officially help you. You could always partition your hard drive and have a bare-bones windows side that is…
*facepalm* People don't read, do they? First, they never said you get a key. They said you'd get access. There's a subtle difference there. People waiting for a key to redeem are never going to see one. BUT what will happen is when the game DOES go into CB, people who've preordered tl2 from PWE will have access. The game…
I HIGHLY doubt that 98% of any gaming community in a f2p game are spending money. Not even Zynga pulls those kinds of numbers. The microtransaction model ends up with a small number of high spenders supporting the game, which is played by a large number of people. How is spending money on a f2p game any different than…
Your class is... WIZARD "I am the fire that burns, the choking fog, the storm that rains devastation on our foes." Wizards are scions of arcane magic. Wizards tap the true power that permeates the cosmos, research esoteric rituals that can alter time and space, and hurl balls of fire that incinerate massed foes. Wizards…
QFT There is way more to this player base than what will be poached from DDO. if the only players Neverwinter gets are ex-DDO players, the game will be so tiny that it will surely fail. They need to work on getting more info out to more prospective players- it would be nice if we had more info, but if they're spending more…
You're not the only one. Apparently the website pulls from whatever account system PWE uses, and it hasn't gotten backwards compatibility. If they can see it on your account though, you should be good to go.
I think class pidgeonholing is as much the fault of the playerbase as it is the game. Well, from what I've seen of the rogue and wizard classes, each class has pretty solid survivability. I'd say that the fighter fits into the "defender" rather than "tank" role. It is indeed a subtle difference. Consider the rogue- they…
I'm a bit confused as to what exactly is going on with the log in issue- I know the site does tend to log one out often, but if it's an issue of it not remembering your user/pass, that might be something to check your browser settings. In chrome, I'm able to stay logged in for long periods of time, and I rarely bother…
With stuff in the game becoming Cannon, I don't think KILLING a god would be a good idea, unless it's mindblowingly epic- like one time, server wide, massive event. Something that requires a huge buildup, and only happens ONCE, like opening the gates of AQ in WoW. yeah, people will qq about missing it, but the people who…
Lemon. I mean- Oh my... I agree that it should be player driven, and I imagine that most of it will be. I already have plans for a guild, though still working out how to recruit IC...
I don't think there will be physical keys, per-se: I think they're going to let people in slowly, and people who pre-ordered TL2 will be let in slowly. At least, that's what I've gathered. I've been wrong before. They said you're guaranteed access, but no one said "first day" or "from day one." I expect that they'll email…
Someone's gotta be optimistic around here! Who knew it'd be the tiefling with lawful evil leanings... Unless this is all part of some dastardly plan of mine. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
That's an interesting idea- consider the Wizard ability Storm Pillar: By it self, it's kinda lame- the key phrase is that the movement must be "on its turn." Unless your party is working with you, this might not do ANY damage! However, in one of the groups I'm in currently, as soon as that pillar goes down we ready actions…
Welcome! They're not giving out beta keys at the moment, but if you're active on the forums, you might get in. There might be other ways to get keys later- I'm hoping for a forum game of some sort, or an art contest (I'm no artist but I'd love to see the entries)... though that little skill challenge Melanderi did was…
First, let's give poor Trailturtle a break: he's the CM for a different game, posting here just in case people showed up on the nw forums and were confused. Considering we're essentially the veterans of the forum merge, we should be the ones who can step up and help our fellow players out. This is not an Us against Them-…
Hey- Priestess Ralph does not take kindly to insults! She and her drider buddies hunt down folks for making fun of her and her mate Terry. Don't you know that people DIE from Dissing Terry? *dragged away by over-sized hook*
