A coordinated…
  • 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.
  • > @wilbur626 said: > @"noworries#8859" > > Did these changes go live with todays patch ? No mention in patchnotes... Seems like it. I gained 45k HP on my GWF's DPS load out & 100k HP on his tank load out after last night's patch. Quite the pleasant surprise. Thanks Cryptic! 🙂
  • > @blackwolftundra said: > they gave jubilee this year demon wings while given Celebration a new Starry Sphere mount so why cant they not give the summer festival something new as well instead of just slapping us all in the face cause i really had enough of this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> why i said im not going…
  • > @longhers said: > In my opinon Think what some people dont relise right now is yes healing is bad at the moment but at the same time it its making you work as a team right now. There is nothing better than knowing the boss's / dungeon/trail machanics people just cant go around face tanking boss's anymore and expect to be…
  • I feel that this point can not be underscored enough given some of the rather questionable pro-non-aug-companion advice on display in this thread. (And yes, augment companions are companions - hence the name and classification.) You may think your abyssal chicken will fully compensate for your own lack of damage (due to…
  • > @shugensha said: > I know what you mean, as healer i pug a lot (unless someone ask for my help) and i see plenty of ppl just rushing and/or insulting the new ones that are learning the class, dungeon or mechanics. Sadly, in pugs you might find way to much ppl that don't give a damn about your experience and will choose…
  • > @crypticnotion said: > (Quote) > I agree with this 100% what needs to be done is higher level characters need to be cut back to less than the average person the dungeon is made for "pull all boons, lvl 15 enchantments, artifacts, and anything else that gives them a boost over the lvl15 player, make them die if they…
  • Agreed. I decided a week or two ago that aside from the occasional competent full-party run (a matter of sheer happenstance), legendary-grade box is 'good enough'. It's unsatisfactory and is yet another kick in the teeth which further sours my perception of Cryptic. My advice? Don't waste your AD, and more importantly…
  • > @plasticbat said: > By the way, you still can get 50% off coupon from bounty and use it. That does not end with the event. Same as your daily figurine. True in regards to the boxes that can drop coupons. The Neverember Figurines, however, have a 6-7 day expiration timer now that the event had concluded.
  • > @greywynd said: > Do you know where there is a listing available to the player base of any of the loot tables? No? Then I guess the loot tables don't exist either. So you can make demands of proof, yet offer none for your own claims. Interesting.
  • Your criticism of Zimxero applies to your claim as well. So you have so-called "hundreds of friends", if true, then you're hardly in need. (Btw, how many of those players are routinely online for long hours at a time?) If speaking on behalf of others, then again, Zimxero also speaks for others. I'm somewhere in between: I…
  • Realistically it'll take you 1.5 to 2 years of daily multi-hours of grinding and hitting your daily 100k AD refinement cap to become near-BiS/BiS. That's if you don't make too many expensive blunders along the way Some of the usual suspects will undoubtedly claim it can be done faster yada yada. Sure, if you get a…
  • > @rayzer8912 said: > So, after reworking my cleric completely after Mod 16, spending a fortune for companions and having the correct mods on my gear, now all of that is pretty much useless. Do you ever consider the cost of time/money/energy people have put into the characters before you make these sweeping changes?…
  • Aye, and if the devs are concerned 'no one will run it' after that, some still might due to the ability to mass farm chaotic writings for Juma bags, plus the small amounts of seals and rAD.
  • Same here. Had to re-type my password at launcher. (This is now happening each time I launch the launcher application.) Was able to log in on one of my characters and enter PE. When I switched to another character, it got stuck at 95% on the loading bar screen. Had to do a manual shutdown of the .exe file. When I log back…
  • Have you activated the actual clothing item independently? There is a second storage area in the fashion bar - it's beneath the fashion items you have activated.
  • Hear, hear Adinosii! I'll add this: If I ever needed more game design confirmation that the devs *do not play their own game* then this Bel event is it! Who in the Nine Hells thought it was a good idea to create an event that literally handicaps *half of your DPS classes* (the non-ranged ones that have to be…
  • It's pathetic. The official reason for the utter *gutting* of the one indisputable ace-in-the-hole this game had - combat - with Mod 16 was to remove meta party builds, to create class balance so that all were equally viable. In short: they destroyed the game's best strengths to supposedly even the playing field....and…
  • I agree that r15 bonding runestones and such are paramount for any player in NW. However, bear in mind that most (all) new(er) players will not have access to r13-15 bonding runestones; they might - if they're lucky - have r9 bonding runestones, and they almost certainly won't have a legendary companion either. These…
  • That doesn't say much since we don't know his stats. If he is, for example, at 25-35K in arm. pen., then you might as well be on the Moon stat-wise in comparison.
  • > @gradii said: > Scaling has a place in every online MMORPG in existance regardless of setting because it is simply required for such a game. > > If levels exist in an MMO, scaling must too exist. no one said it has to be done in a bad way, but it must be done, in a good way.

  • > @gradii said: > No ones asking for scaling to work in a way which makes all the game an even playing field. the kind of scaling we need in this game is the kind which makes you still more powerful in older content- but not SO powerful the experience is completely ruined. > > Arguing AGAINST scaling period, is literally…

  • Are your primary stats (for dps) capped? You'll want 85k in armor penetration (that one first), then 85k in critical strike, then pile on both power and combat advantage. Also spare a thought for defense, if you have spare stats for it. Honorable mention to accuracy, but it's not a GWF's main priority.
  • > @gradii said: > ok how do you earn 100k AD a day at all? none of my level 80 characters (one is a tank) come close. Successfully complete your random queues - especially the top two: RTQ & REQ. Then run them some more times. Have keys for the extra chests at the end - they also reward extra rAD. If you're skilled at your…
  • > @gradii said: > Scaling, and in far more places than it is now, in far better quality, is needed for the game to survive, like it or not you have to deal with it, or go play Skyrim which is single player and does not need it. That's one view. Another view is that if Cryptic continues to sufficiently displease the core…
  • > @"zimxero#8085" said: > (Quote) > @kharkov58: What should be the source of AD for new and veteran players? Two possibilities off the top of my head: 1. Shift rAD generation for veterans to master/epic dungeons only. (There will still be speed runs and the perception of it when there are differences in experience, skill,…
