Ever since last patch rendering in dungeons has quit working correctly. Now large blocks turn into blanked out screen. It is more of a problem in areas that are tight, less so in areas that have a lot of room. For example, the first dungeon, no blank areas. Going after Honor in the dungeon by the Inn, large areas turn into…

Why isn't it available since I paid for it? You support web page does not work. Your customer service is, so far, too cowardly to answer the phone.

What I see is a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with D&D and based on limitations that should not exist.

It is the Devs fault. They took a system that was designed based on classes which could effect various roles and reversed it to roles controlling a single class. They utterly failed to comprehend the vary basis of Role Play and set role play in an MMO setting back decades. Even the original Bard's Tale was closer to role…

Again, adding gnomes would merely mean a different set of faces on halfling bodies. Options for Dwarves, Elves, Half-Orcs, Tieflings, etc. do not require any additional avatars, merely different pallets for skin, hair, and eye color. Adding a menu option and color pallet is not even a days work for each of these. A week…

They should never have limited the classes by role. They should have established the classes with optional builds to play various roles. Design Fail!

ESRB rating are for all video games and apps, online or not. See there link here. There isn't enough variation in the powers for changing them to have any meaning. The powers merely hold them still while one flings magic missile as fast as possible. And there is no variation, since all wizards must be control wizards.…

Sorry, just found this one while reviewing the thread. First, alignment restrictions are meaningless without RP options to both express them and maintain impact on the campaign outcome. Dragon Age Origins was the best PC game which I have played to effect such. Systemic rules also limit expression. For example, a character…

The problem with that is the powers of the lower level CW are limited to ice. You are forced to spend points on spells that you do not ever want to use or that are useless.
-
No, instead they wasted hours creating life-control grindfests for things that have no value (especially since they are useless by the time you get enough X to buy them). Ad hominem. Is this where I am supposed to respond with something equally childish like, "How's your daddies?" Really... Then we can only agree to…

If a DM set boundaries that destroyed 85 to 90% of everything in the game, I certainly wouldn't. And I wouldn't recommend others play their campaign either. The fact is, even in the online character creator for 4E D&D there is no such thing as a Control Wizard who is only limited to throwing snowballs. There is a wizard…

I have been following the concepts for 5.0 which might as well quit development and simply republish 3.5. What they figured out was that pleasing the programmers helped <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> off a lot of people. What they didn't figure out is that in a world economy where people don't know if they can keep…

In my experience, there is no effect. The target never freezes for any length of time, no matter how many times one mashes the button at speed. There is no damage. Ray of Frost is so useless, I took it out of the slot. An empty slot is just as effective as something that does nothing. Gnomes would require no additional…

There is nothing changing to make the game worth playing as more than a log in to see if anything is worth playing yet.
-
Sorry, my facetiousness key appears to be stuck in the off position. I have played Chainmail, Eldritch Wizardry, Basic D&D (1977), AD&D (when it still had the Cthulhu and Melnibonean mythos), skipped 2.0 while I was serving overseas, and have the full set of 3.5. I know what skills are. You are correct, and I plan on…

Accepting axiomatically that one can lead a horse to water but cannot make it drink, there is is also the 'pusher' parallel. One can only buy the drugs available. So long as the Dev.s are only interested in selling slight spins on the bean-counter approved safety market of the moment nothing new will be accomplished. Again…

Class Skills? What are class skills - obviously they do not exist in D&D. History? Diplomacy? Arcana? Insight? You photo-shopped that. It can't be real or it would be in the game. And they need a spell book for a dozen or less spells? Why, I knew sorcerers in the old days that could manage twice that many, and they didn't…
-
Ad hominum. They should never have associated this game with D&D and Wizards of the Coast should take its license back, in my opinion for the misrepresentation that it had anything to do with the franchise. Accepted. No, the computer games I compare against for their achievement at being true to D&D are computerized D&D…
-
You mean, wizards are worth playing if you have no imagination, creativity, world experience, and almost 4 decades of gaming experience against which to compare when something has been hobbled at the knees. The Respec Token was presented with the specific indication that when other powers would become available one could…
-
But when are we actually going to have spells worth putting in our spell books? Since nothing in the books means anything: Adamantine Arrow (bonus pen), Fog of Debilitation (DoT to stats and health), Armor's Bane (rusts armor down to clothing stat), Summon Nightmare (renders victim convulsive and screaming until struck),…
-
The powers were there right along side of a free RESPEC for making the wizard into something worth playing. Nothing worth playing has come out for her to become. Nothing worth playing is indicated as coming out for her to become. So, no it is not my fault - it is a tease from a game design that advertised they were making…
-
Then everything on my character has been a complete waste of time and money. In which case, playing the game becomes a waste of both.
-
I actually have the last game Gary Gygax put out, and it is much different than the traditional and limited D&D system that stereotyped people according to a caste based society bent on racism as it's dominating environment. What will continue to promote Tank, Support, Heal, and DPS based action is not artificial…
-
I would certainly agree with this. I have been playing DnD since the 1970s. Further, since it is not DnD, adapting the magic systems so that players could effect their element or effect of choice in the expression of a spells effect should not have been a problem. As they are apparently making up spells and systemic…

Well, if this is 4.0 then it is a prime example of why I have purchased none of it whatsoever. In point of fact, I really am not enthusiastic about playing this game at all. While the structure may be well thought out for computers it is horrid for creativity and role play. I do not play fantasy roles in order to be broke,…
