  • Let's face some cold hard facts, you don't have a dilithium issue here. If you think the wait for Zen from your exchange is long, check out my thread for tracking Neverwinter here. I predicted that the ZAX would grow out of control at the beginning of that thread. The Zen was flowing (even backlogged at 40 million) at the…
  • When I first started out on STO, I invented the Picard Manuver™ to survive all battles. Simply fly into any mob get their attention, put all forward shields to max and fly backwards shooting at them. The enemy is pretty dumb, they line up for easy shots. Now this strategy doesn't work in PvP of course. Real people tend to…
  • I just found this on Twitter. That says it all.
  • I think you missed hotfrostworm's point when he said, "making it separate database from the base games". You see, changes to the game database broke the Foundry in every new module and update. All they really needed was it to be a separate static entity that never or seldom needed updates. Most modules never introduced new…
  • I just read that also. The time and money spent will definitely become implications for the other Cryptic games. Years ago they tried to make Jurassic World MMO and it too was canceled. Shortly afterwards they used the dinosaur models in Chult on Neverwinter. I suppose Star Trek can welcome some orphaned Planeswallkers?…
  • They released a keyless loot box on Neverwinter called the Astral Lockbox for 100,000 AD last year. The only reason very few purchased it, YouTubers showed that opening the loot box dropped about 60K worth of junk rewards and very few of anything they wanted. My issue with these YouTubers was them looking at the AD value…
  • The Champions exchange has been running a bit higher than normal. The Neverwinter exchange has been backlogged forever and in the last year went from a backlog of 40 million zen to 69 million zen. Some one at Cryptic had the bright idea of raising the cap there from 500 to 750 about a year ago... that sent the backlog…
  • For those of you saying raising the cap would fix this, you should be aware that Neverwinter raised the cap to 1:750 and the exchange is now at a backlog of 70 million. There is a tracking thread (should you care to read) that states people who posted in January are just getting their Zen now. Raising the cap apparently…
  • I recall over two years ago, a player wrote a very detailed Foundry with a full trial scene, I had to answer correctly or it looped back to the start of the trial. Now if a player could do that using the beta Foundry on here, why can't Cryptic make more detail? They have better tools and more than just the one person... or…
  • It isn't the Klingons, this is Cryptic's fault, when they add a new species, Gorn, Orion, Romulan, and whatnot, they never add the new faction for the species. I was extremely disappointed years ago by them telling my Romulan to pick the Feds or KDF after the tutorial ends. Romulans are too vain and egotistical to hook up…
  • OMG people! It is called "using your imagination" kiddies. Honestly, did you learn nothing from Barney the purple dinosaur? My good friend, over on Neverwinter (that game is very unfriendly to non-binary in my opinion) created a male drow that is really a female drow in disguise. She had this for years as a Foundry story…
  • I am the ONE and ONLY... but I haven't played in months. I am having far too much fun over poking at Neverwinter about their current crisis. After my trip to Texas this June, I will teach you my Picard maneuver, where I fly the ship backwards while shooting at the enemy. Now stop impersonating a hamburger and go play the…
  • If it was removed and gone forever... then why: 1. is there this HUGE area to discuss something that doesn't exist in the game? 2. do Foundry authors both here and Neverwinter run signatures with their Foundry tags? 3. did Chris Whiteside (Production Manager) on Neverwinter state it could return in the future? This massive…
  • I do get it. I am just stating they repeat this agenda with the time agent. Then on my other Star Fleet toon, they ask me to learn about it on the holodeck. I am not a lover/hater of the series, I just find this as another non content, false faction, season based around a CBS fan fiction. Me Star Trek Federation, me go…
  • It is also illegal to use the teleporter to make people young again. So when is the Foundry returning?
    in ETA? Comment by blargskull November 2018
  • Not just because I recently watched some horrible episodes of Voyager. Mrs. Columbo aka Kathrine Janeway is my #1 WORST character. Just for starters I will say even if you did like the character, the actress was horrible. This has nothing to do with her being a female Captain. Gene wanted his wife to be Captain she was…
  • ok I guess if she said she was making him Coconut Hawaiian Poi Pie the viewers limited intelligence would be disrupted. The boat(s) shown in the opening and on the beach are two different makes and models. But my father lived on my grandpa's 30 foot Owens to which he informs me was the equal of a sea going Winnebago. There…
  • wow revandarklighter someone is sensitive. It is not the point. The point here is how would you cheat or deal with it. Personally I would use the Force™ and using my Sidi Powers © 2014. I would mind trick the Klingons into attacking each other while I beam the crew out. Then finish off any remaining Klingons with my…
  • The old lady in that "Stuck on that Girl" music video is old enough to be my mom... omg it is my mom!! :eek: Here is a woman old enough to be everyone's grandma. This is a concert so you might want to fast forward to 30 minutes in the show.
  • Simple button yes, but it sounds like you are trying to reinvent the IMDB here. How many missions in the database? Let's pull a random number from that value; Rand_mission == Int(Rnd*value)+1 That works and not a lot of math. But you could end up playing this or this! Now I actually "picked" those as an example but in the…
  • Well I am a share holder in PRWD Perfect World stock. I don't play this game much anymore and I don't blame STO for my loss in the market. I do blame Cryptic for being "scatter brained" and not releasing Neverwinter on time. Sure I know the company is trying hard to succeed here, but really no company sets the goals to…
  • LoL the abuse the Foundry takes amazes me to no end. On one end, the user abuses it to cheat. On the other end, Cryptic abuses it by making it impossible to use.
  • I agree with Kirisee, and many games are crippled by censor engines. Bloody is considered a swear word in the UK but not the US. Just to play STOL I must wait for multiple loading screens, what you suggest would or could end up causing a longer loading time while the system verifies users yet again. I am an adult with no…
  • YES! YES! YES! More provocative ladies please! Since this went up my PWRD stock jumped, so is there any chance we can get a Seven look alike in a swimsuit up on the left side? Thank you.
  • Windows 8? I am still running it under Windows 3.11 and MS DOS. :) But seriously, I have it working on both Vista and XP SP3.
  • Personally I happen to know that the average pay scale of game designer is between 30 to 50 thousand a year. If Cryptic wants players to start making content, then they should put out a simple contract stating with the average amount they are going to pay the mission designer. As a contractor, then they would not owe the…
  • To address the players zorbane, jnohd, and azurianstar above talking about map/city size and zoning etc... If you recall your GTA 3 to GTA VC, games such as these required splash screens to swap out maps and "rezone" the player. This was virtually done away with in GTA SA, as the only time it occurs is when you enter or…
  • @zorbane: The best way to rid the making of "quickies" such as "Water the Bush" parts 1-3 would be to demand the mission have a minimum requirement of 3 objectives and 2 maps. People would be less likely to produce such missions and players would be inclined to actually play something with merit. This imo is abusing the…
