A lame companion is supposed to appease us? This is a prime example of how incompetent Cryptic are when it comes to solving issues. You do not put the necessary effort into solving problems, if there is something you don't know how to deal with, you just cut it away. This is not acceptable. This was once a good game with…
This would not solve the problem that Have you guys forgotten already that a lot of people use the gateway to do professions and other things because they do not have a lot of time to play via the game client? Are you really going to screw all these people over by gating professions behind forced gameplay? You will ruin…
But to be able to do so, they'd have to be able to invite in the first place. By considering very carefully who should get how many invites, that scenario of yours could probably be prevented. Also, if the inviter had at least some responsibility for the invitee, people would think about who they invite. You could follow…
I suggest trying to tie account creation to some sort of requirement that would hinder botters just enough to slow them down. What kind of requirement though I don't exactly know. Edit: Maybe some sort of invite only model? I mean.. Invitations are free, but they would give you more control.
It took like what, half a year for them to sort out the issues with the foundry. So I guess we can expect the gateway to stay down for at least the next few months. As I said earlier, Cryptic find something that's not working as intended, then they completely cut it away and take their time finding SOME solution, not…
Hell no. Having an army of alts that you can have those 12 and 18 hour leadership RP tasks running on is the only reasonable way for new players with little time to make some AD over time. Cryptic have brought this upon themselves, THEY are responsible for the economy being the way it is now. THEY are responsible for…
As someone pointed out earlier, the gateway coming up right after the maintenance ended was probably due to some default routine thing and apparently not intentional.
And more silence. This is so representative for what is wrong with this game and this company. I wish I'd known this before putting a good chunk of money into this game myself.
So, why is it back up now? First you make it sound like it's going to be an indefinite state after days without anything conclusive, then it just comes back up on maintenance day? Is Cryptic just trolling us all really hard or did they just not take care to have it stay offline after the end of mainenance? @strumslinger…
And you could not have communicated this a week ago? Well. I am losing more and more interest in this game. Not only does Cryptic seem unable to solve technical issues, they can't even properly communicate with their playerbase. And there are paying customers among said player base, even if this is a free to play game.…
THIS. Every legit account will have at least one character that has a lot of time put into. It would make so much more sense to impose HIGHER restrictions but only on ONE char to lift restrictions for the entire account.
Not everyone has the time to play 10 characters up to the point where these restrictions don't hold for them anymore. Hell, my main character doesn't even have an ilvl of 2.5k and I have been playing for months.
So you give people 50 char slots and now you think it's a good idea that any of those slots used by legit players to store items or AD on for example become useless once again because they can't exchange them between their chars anymore. Of course this is only true for newer characters but as always the change mainly puts…
You have a point but 24 hours would be way too big of a time window. I think the longest leadership tasks take 18 hours and that is already long enough. I know there are some alchemy tasks that take several days but those aren't as profitable as the leadership tasks. There has to be some remaining managing requirement in…
I have played a few MMORPGs prior to playing this and from my experience, bots and RMT spammers have always been there and as long as there is any way to draw monetary gain from the game, they always will be there. Taking apart the game like this is mostly a battle against windmills and regular players are the ones who…
Awesome, I used most of my RP during this event. So everyone who had loads to begin with will be in the major advantage after this and only the newer and less wealthy players will get to bite the bullet. AGAIN. This is not fun any more.
Does anyone have numbers regarding trades for this past weekend? Also, the gateway being down is one thing, the company not having the decency to keep their customers up to date FOR DAYS is a whole other story.
