Neverwinter new pics - OH GAWD ITZ HEAVAN

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Reading through the Dev Tracker, it seems that the stat curve changes aren't yet present at all on Preview. But two important things to note from what Crush has said about them over the last couple of days:

- The stat curve is 400 points = 1% of whatever the stat does. Not sure what this means overall, but it seems that minmaxing is needed even for slight effect. At least the notion that even if a new gear set would be 2000 points total above old T2 sets, theoretically it should only amount to 5% more power if everything is optimally concentrated.
- GWF is getting a general 20% increase in all weapon damage.

Besides that, at least on dev posts to players it seems their plan with increasing crafting level count is to revamp gear crafting to work like Jewcrafting, with Alchemy being an alternate source of some sort of new Elemental materials. Nothing on the real deal tho, the fate of potatofarming (EDIT: Tho personally I think it'll remain unchanged or slightly easier, because I'm fairly sure expensive Zen is what they consider to be in their interest).

 

[Gerrard]

They made new tasks that take 7 and 12 DAYS to make these new elemental materials. Gotta stop that potato farming!

So far I'm not liking the paladin very much.

 

[Gregz]

Vaarna_Aarne Wild Slop what server/clan are you guys in?

 

[Norfleet]

There's only one server, IIRC, unless they resplit the shards again.

 

[Wild Slop]

DON'T Gregz ! Shit! No! Bad! Wrong! Stay away. Bad game. Mess you up. Not even fair to call it a "game". Recent changes might make it even worse. :roll playing my protective guardian character:


Bub-blib babah buhba The other day I thought of a name for a new character I may use myself if you don't want: Manos Pussyfoot

Pretty good, eh? I think so.

 

[Norfleet]

Yeah, I would avoid any Craptic game, really. Unless you plan on becoming a gold farmer.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Pussyfoot might not make it past the word censor tho, despite not actually having anything to do with vaginas (except when cheeky codexers use it).

Anyway, we're all on Dragon, and we're all in Raiders of the Lost Grimoire. The only other server is the Russian language Drider server and the test server. Also Sloppy's being a little melodramatic because his main is in peril again with the upcoming expansion module.

 

[Wild Slop]

I assure you my dramatic warning would be unchanged with or without any shafts sent towards Neverwinter's finest premature ejaculator. It is largely a joyless experience and tedium abounds. Why do I do it? Stockholm syndrome, maybe, or maybe just unhealthy addiction... Neverwinter, why can't I quit you? If our man wants to voluntarily subject himself to join us lab rats and become one himself it will brighten things up a bit for sure but it is something I feel obligated to help him avoid, morally.

On "Manos Pussyfoot" the more I look at it the more I think that name is a thing of beauty and we must try!

 

[Shannow]

NW is at least good enough to play till lvl 60. Gameplay isn't bad, doing the same stuff again, again and again is.
The secret to stopping lies in not loading NW or the gateway up. I haven't looked back since I "announced" that I'd quit, and I'm not missing it.

Just started playing. Level 15 trickster rogue- Kaiz.

Not sure how I feel about it. Its fun but not dungeons and dragons.....

 

[eklektyk]

Run u fooooooool ....Ruuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!

 

[Bliblablubb]

Run u fooooooool ....Ruuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!

So you say now, but in a few days you will be back for farming! You know you want to. Mmmmm potatos.

If you have fun, just roll with it and enjoy the ride.
Once you post your ingame handle (something like Kaiz@kain611, caps are important IIRC), a fellow codexer will invite you to our prestigious yet very silent chat and guild.
Also feel free to ask questions about builds or mechanics here, since it is currently a quiet phase between new contents, so most of us are only logging in to praise allah and update professions until the paladin arrives.
Our channel is accessable from all cryptic games, so we can use it even while flying shiny spaceships in STO.

P.S. Only 67 posts in more than 7 years is quiet a feat for a codexer if I might say so.

 

[Gerrard]

eklektyk if you still have some Terror shards, you might want to sell them now. People are going crazy about the enchantment changes on preview, they go for 8K. If there ever was a time to burn all those lair keys it's probably now.

 

[Bliblablubb]

Could you please sum up how exaclty the changes affect demand for shards? Or is it just the usual "more rp is needed, buy shit while it's still cheap"?

 

[eklektyk]

is a matter of enchant slight revamp ....

so most of them are stil meh and bah and peh but ...

terror got root at highest lvls ... on top of ar and power/dmg reduction on hit it got ROOT ....

from kinda good it went to MUSTHAVEGLOBERGLOBER ....so yeah i might burn some 100-200 keys to go farm those if i can manage will to bother that is

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

IF they were economically smart, they'd revamp the entire refining system to be much easier and faster, BUT make the upgrade process itself take up to a week once started. Then sell cheap speed boosters and instant clears for Zen that are BoA.

Yeah I'm a fairly quiet person a lot of time.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I'll toss you the guild invite when I log in tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.

 

[kain611]

Handle is Kaiz@khain611

 

[Gerrard]

Someone was asking about double XP a while ago, there will be a weekend starting 13th of March, which, I just realized, makes it the second Friday 13th.

Handle is Kaiz@khain611

I sent you invites.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Did you send the chat channel invites too? (I completely forgot about the whole thing, I can get rather scatterbrained, sorry)

 

[Gerrard]

I did, don't know if the invites have some kind of a time limit though.

 

[kain611]

accepted

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Alright, feel free to grab whatever things you find useful in the Guild Bank. Grabbing Dragonbone main hand and offhand is a good idea, since those are levelscaling weapons and thus eliminate the need to switch weapons until after Extended Tutorial.

I did, don't know if the invites have some kind of a time limit though.

Don't think they do.

 

[kain611]

So anyway to get Zen without spending real money?
