I would posit that they have an incentive to do this: It's how they make their money. Thanking them for putting much sought after items behind a gambling mechanism? Well, I suppose there are all sorts of people in the world. 🤷♂️

> @greywynd said: > But in the end it is still only entertainment. You own nothing except maybe the device you're playing on.

Ever the one to skirt the issue, and try to avoid answering legitimate observations and questions directly that make for uncomfortable reading if one is on or for Team Cryptic.

> @oldbaldyone said: > The problem is, most people spend a ton of time and resources getting enchantments, runestones, insignias and collars. The game is designed for these things to be a massive grind, with the idea being their worth will always be there. Other gear is relatively easy to get, but this stuff takes a ton of…

> @kreatyve said: > Technically - you didn't buy anything. If you want to get technical about it, you are renting pixels. You are not allowed to sell anything off your account for cash.

> @hotfrostworm said: > My wife asked me to translate this wall of text to her tonight when she calls me. From my perspective, unless I am wrong this is just a developer who allowed you in on upcoming alpha changes.

> @arazith07 said: > There needs to be AD sinks in the game in order to slow the rate of inflation. In my opinion, there should be more AD sinks like this, not less. It's a drop in the ocean - so much so, that it only serves as an irritation, and discourages fashion in this game. Want AD sinks? Sell items players both want…

Just wait as more players come to realize they'll need upgrade reagents for their season pass weapon set from Avernus hunts.....BiS truly end-game players have struggled to bring down t3 hunts. How on earth are the more regular casual/non-BiS players supposed to do it? To those who know how to play ToMM, that run is easier…

> @falkenblackhand said: > Basically it took what we had, downgraded it, added another tier and forces us to upgrade not one but ten mounts to get back what we had with one BEFORE this change.

> @dolrey said: > Massive-Wall-of-Text You again. You had similar complaints before Mod 16. You got your wish, and it destroyed the game, and replaced it with a worse combat experience, everything from movement speed to cool downs being slower, and an instant massive devaluation of players' resources (i.e. AD, companions,…

The real way you win at this game is by walking away (and spending your time, efforts, and money on other activities/pursuits/games/people). 🙂

> @melechest said: > @lantern22 > > I said that in response to someone talking about dps not being able to run ahead in lower item level dungeons. If you read what i say in this post, i have seen dps being able to do it both in lomm and IC, and these are by no means old content. The one thing im asking is for the dps to…

What you are clamoring for has already been clamored for before, and it was implemented, and it brought NW as a game to its knees. It took Cryptic roughly a year to somewhat iron-out the disaster that was Mod 16, and it still casts its ugly shadow over NW today. 20-25% of the PC player population left when Mod 16 hit. It…

It updates the role bonus depending on which class role is needed for the parties already queued. I've even seen (and gotten) the rare dps-role bonus. It's working as intended. You've been unlucky in your timing. Next time either keep switching quickly and hope the role is still there, or wait for it to change to your…

You can avoid them by sprinting/dodging/using-shield-function. There is only a very slight delay from when the visual rune appears, to when it triggers. So, quick reflexes and response time along with sufficient stamina levels will see you through it.
