Neverwinter (2013)

420, throbble - sorry I lost connection to the server. I just moved, and my internet's not as good in this apartment. I'm trying to reconnect now.


eta: It's not connecting to the patch server so it doesn't want to let me play. It's trying to verify all of the files now, which will take 10-20 minutes according to the client. We'll see what happens. I guess we'll have to see if I can get back on today.

Yeah, there is something weird going on. It tried to download a 1.5 gig patch for me after I tried to restart the game because the video lag was killing me. I stopped the download and restarted the game and it started right up but then got stuck on the Crytpic load screen after I logged back in. Eventually I was able to make it back on after a few tries.

Probably just there servers buckling under the pressure of the weekend crowd.

Most likely that 1.5GB is Gauntlgrym

Aww yeah

Nah, it was just a glitch, since it didn't try to patch again after I stopped it at 2%.

That's exactly what was happening to me, even after I got back on. I eventually just let it patch all the way while I ran errands. Dunno what was up.

Haven't seen anyone on in a few days. The beta is almost over and there is an event going on right now where every 10 minutes portals open all over Protectors Enclave and undead spawn for 5 minutes.

You get unique rewards like the Savage Enchantment which give 2 bonuses per slot instead of one. And the Skeletal Dog companion.

Hurry, event ends 7 am Pacfic time 6/20/13 (when the servers go down for maintenance and the game goes live).

Fuck this event.

I am so sick and tired of dickshitter (thank you FC3: Blood Dragon!)-Devs being incompetent when it comes to "Kill Mob Events".

All it's been is a fucking Control Wizard pissing contest to see who can throw out the most AoE.

I barely 'render' the mob HP bar and they're dead.
-No lag. There's just that much AoE-spam going on

In one event I got one fucking bag and 6 bones as the event reward. All the CWs had ~3 times the amount of "Event Points". -Day 1 of Invasion

...not worth my time; zero fucks given


(I'm angry because this is yet another game that the Devs don't think "you know, players will just do <this>.". I'm not Game Dev, but even I know players will AoE the shit out of mob spawn during events.)

Take off the tinfoil hat. I get drops from creatures I don't even hit. As long as your nearby attacking something you get drops.

Don't hate on Wizards...they are supposed to be your superior

I'll get back on the game soon.  Been in Warframe lately.  I'm not one for mindless mob spawn events either.  No tactics requires no skill.

I got bored after a while. I'll probably go back sometime when I want to play something mindless again. Right now I'm enjoying (albeit frustrated by) Thief...

Ya, don't know if any of you played Day 1 of the Event but mobs had 'minion hp' so they died in one to two hits.

Throbble and I were on last night discussing the possibility of joining a guild to get us through a quest we're stuck on. (Mt. Hotenow's final quest) All of a sudden Throbble got invited to a guild and she got them to invite me to.

The name of the guild oddly enough is 420

Hmm...is that the one with the boss that does the "at feet" AoE and does the random mini-AoE ranged attack?

If so, I found him quite hilarious to solo as a Guardian.

Pull him out of the room to the fashioned stone slab and all the 'at-feet'  AoE's are underground so you don't get hit by them. I think even the random ranged mini-AoEs are also underground.

This game has/had soooo many exploits. Which is nice, I dislike needing to slow down to look for a group...I also dislike that said group will not want to poke around looking for treasure.

Yeah, the fire giant boss. Gammoth or something. I'll try that, thanks for the tip!

Not sure if anyone's monitoring this thread these days.

But, PWE set out promo-codes for Neverwinter [Online], that gives two free levels and some nice loot. Might as well use 'em

It's an email sent out. It's titled 'Come Back Now'.

And, yes, it is legit.

I didn't get one. Got lots of emails from Neverwinter but none with that subject. They must really miss you. (Maybe it was only for closed beta testers?)

Dunno, it may also be time dependent. I haven't played in several months.
