You're forgetting the typical drops of <50 AD from the troves and the <5k from artifact packs, profession packs, and companion fortification kits. Of the more common drops, pretty much only enchantment packs have a reasonable chance of getting close to the zen store cost of a key in value. If it's true that trade bars are…

They still seem to be dropping at the normal rate to me, I've gotten a number of them since mod 8 launch. That being said, why on earth would you want one? The average drop value from a lockbox is sub 10k right now, that's 20k less than (66% loss) if you bought them with a 40% off coupon, 30k less than (75% loss) if you…

Okay, first of all I'm not okay with you calling people who used leadership exploiters. Botters, sure, but anyone who used leadership to gain AD was an exploiter? That's some bullroar right there. Accept responsibility for what is in effect, your (Cryptic's not the OP's) doing, don't label all players who used a poorly…

No one else is saying it, so I will. Devoted Cleric is probably the best dps for staying at range (HRs and CWs gimp themselves if they stay exclusively at far range) and being able to solo (SW have serious soloing issues unless way overgeared). That being said, by making a dps cleric you're completely assed out of pug…

That's interesting about the old lockboxes. But I have to believe Cryptic will have no choice but to care eventually, since lockbox goods have already flooded the market to the point that even buying a key with a 40% off coupon is a losing proposition more than 9 times out of 10. I don't know, maybe it's their hope that…

I doubt Cryptic even realizes they're creating a second leadership with VIP. Using older lockboxes it's quite easy to generate AD, actually create AD similar to leadership, in greater amounts than the cost of VIP. Which means free account armies with VIP generating tons of AD for the "main" account. People are already…

Personally what I find really annoying about this whole thing isn't the fact that I can't get any of the companions I "earned". Nor is it the fact that due to another bug countless people DO have at least one of those companions now, didn't "earn" them, and aren't likely to have them taken away at this point even though it…

In my case, I was playing an HR in my run of the quest, and I can't get it again to try it with my TR. But I'm guessing one of two things happened to you. 1. Possibly you used stealth, and I know this can be a problem with this quest from previous runs before this latest bug. The mobs in the quest appear to "agro" on the…

Due to merge this post has been made pointless...Please enjoy my sig gif for a second time.

I found a "sorta" workaround for this. If you exit to character select and log back in as that same character the game will typically put you back on the map, but it will put you BEHIND the wall, so you can run around and kill all the glitched mobs. Eventually you end up with a situation where one or more mobs made it into…

Hey are we still naming these bugged patch days? Cause I'd like to put my vote in for the Day of the Great Slaader. ...or possibly Slaaderhouse ...or Like Bugs to the Slaader? Anyway, you get the idea. ps. I also wouldn't say no to a cloak with this guy's face on it.

I completely agree that leadership farms were ridiculous, and destructive to the game's economy. Their solution to leadership, while lazy as all heck, should mostly fix the problems that leadership was causing. But even when comparing a pre-mod 6 character that didn't use leadership at all to a current character, the…
-
It's floating around 400 AD = 1 zen, that's a 20% drop. On what planet is that a radical improvement? And even if it eventually drops to the ~250 AD = 1 zen range that's only 50% less than 500. Compare that to the drop in the amount of RAD entering the game, that actually has changed radically. That ridiculous 30 player…

You should swap all existing MOP/GMOPs in-game to GMOP/SMOP when this change does live, by not announcing that you've no doubt burned a decent number of your existing players significantly. You should also be reviewing blue MOP drops. While I doubt many will shed a tear over the loss of value from bots instance farming…
-
Not much, since I imagine most of the gateway bots, specifically the gold farmers, already run in-game bots also. And the non-gold farmer bot users either won't have easy access to bot software that could be effectively used in-game or were also in-game at least some of the time their gateway bots were running anyway.
-
The demand for UE is more or less constant now, and has been for a good while. Possibly mod 7 will spike demand, I don't know. The reason their value plummeted is simple, once it became common knowledge that crafting UEs could net you 60k AD (a rate of 5k AD/slot with WHITE quality workers which is about the same as the…
-
So let me get this straight...now you can't kick players during combat, for 15 min. after the start of the instance, during a loot roll, or after a boss fight? Why not just remove kicking entirely? Don't get me wrong, I'll vehemently agree that the current vote kick is ridiculously open to abuse. But you have to realize…
-
I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that. While I'm sure there's a crapton of leadership bots on gateway, I'm also sure there's a crapton of bots running around in-game currently. They'll simply take a small loss from not being able to run quite as many leadership bots in-game as opposed to running them on gateway. I expect…
-
You realize how ridiculous this is, right? "You keep adding stuff to make it easier to use dailies and that's a problem!....So....NERF DAILIES!" Maybe you should be asking for them to nerf existing AP generation boosts and/or stop adding more instead? Cause if they nerf dailies they nerf EVERYONE, including those who…

but since they are up now... 2 whole things? TLDR!

Very nice, I see your server hamster eating cat with...

That's hilarious! Warlock, I'm guessing? The horn clipping is bad, but yeah, that...visor?...is just plain silly. It looks like Magneto's helmet....with horns, and a face-hugger visor. A brown paper bag helmet with eye holes would've looked better and been more functional.
-
Wait it's not "Beast In Sack"? **** it! That means all those "Wow, nice BiS!" complements and "Not fair, stupid BiS!" complaints were just about my character's gear.... I did always wonder why people I'd never met, in an online game would assume that about me though...

I would hope not. If the rewards don't regularly cycle it will be a non-event in no time at all anyway. And if they do cycle but currency is never reset then the rewards become less meaningful, not to mention the first season's rewards would again likely be out of reach. It's possible a very large amount of tokens come…
-
Yeah, but this is a new level of overpriced. It's either flat out impossible to get the armored bulette or so ridiculously time-consuming as to literally result in no-life for anyone attempting it, as there's a good chance they'd die from lack of sleep/stress.
-
So...let me get this straight. Each match you get a token if your team wins, maybe a token if it doesn't (I'm guessing based on leaderboard?) That means a max of 2 tokens? Or never more than 1? Cause if it's only 1, then the rewards are way too expensive. Every match takes 10-20 min. 5,000 tokens, that's a minimum of…
-
Yep....looks like the server is down again.

I'll never understand the mentality that goes into the thinking in these things. If you're happy with the gameplay where it's at with the level of artifacts/enchants you have right now, then sure, hoard away. And I'm right there with you in the whole, this game is annoyingly hoarder-unfriendly, thing. But if you're not,…
