Neverwinter new pics - OH GAWD ITZ HEAVAN

[Cool name]

Does someone know if the new companion will be only available through drops or if it will be available in the bonestore as well?

I heard it is going to be a zombie dog or a skeleton dog or something like that, and that's just awesome.

 

[Gerrard]

Pretty sure it was always 12% for me in-game. I never used the gateway AH.

Yeah, it is, when you access it by using the button at the top instead of talking to the auction NPCs. Nothing to do with gateway.

Well if I get one you may have it. The only pet I'd keep is a honey badger, cat or ioun stone.

 

[Cool name]

Thankies!

Is the Honey Badger any good? I only ever see the cat and the ioun stone of allure mentioned in the forums.

Well, that and 'Cleric until you get either one.'

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I don't know, I'm not shelling out 3500 Zen for a companion. I'd just use it because it's a honey badger.

And the reason the Stone and Cat are mentioned on the forums is because they're essentially stat boosters, granting 100% of their stats to the owner. The amount of stats they provide is the same in total (not counting items), 225 Crit/225 Rec for maxed Cat and 150 Pow/150 Crit/150 Rec for Stone, but apparently the Stone is better in the end due to being able to equip Tier 2 Epic Icon.

3500 zen = 35$, right?

Cryptic is on drugs. :D

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Companions are doubly bad in this regard because they're one-shot purchases. At the very least, mounts are account-wide (last time I checked), though I've got R3 mount pro bono.

 

[eklektyk]

btw : did they slowed down ordinary mounts??? i get this feeling they are slower but it can be only in my mind

One hour queueing for Cragmire. -_-U

Still haven't gotten the goddamn run.

Either the system is borked or we are, like, five people playing the game at this hour.

Maybe you can dance for the money.



I actually downloaded this and tried it based off fond memories for original NWN MP PWs. Combat was okay, arguably better, but there doesn't seem to be much of anything else to do besides that. Doesn't feel quite like D&D as I know it. Dungeons don't seem to have much, if anything, in the way of traps or puzzles and there's no kind of social or knowledge checks, etc. Just a crafting system that requires more grinding. Not bad but seems like every other generic fantasy MMO and not really a game of D&D online.

 

[jagged-jimmy]

So noone up for a run tonight?

Try a couple of Foundry quests. There are many that do implement social checks (based on your 'collection' skill), some puzzles, and the like. The Foundry does seem quite limited for now, though, so do not expect nothing impressive in terms of C&C, and most quests tend to be quite lineal. Even the ones that do try to include some exploration are often not very explorative. Even if you disable the breadcrumb path there is usually still a lot of markers and very clear indications on where to go and what to do, mainly because most players have the attention span of a goldfish and downvote like mad if they get lost or have any problem discovering where to go.

So far my favourite moment in official content was this one fairly low-key puzzle we had when we first ran Pirate King dungeon with a Codex crew. There was this room at the early part of the dungeon with arcane runes and levers in it, and it was completely optional. Now, only a Wizard can read the runes, so it was pretty satisfying to "step back, this is a Wizard's job" and handily open the secret door. It didn't even matter the reward chest was bugged and turned out to be empty, for me opening the secret door was reward in itself.

 

[Jadeite]

This game is awful. I hate modern games.

 

[Crispy]

No, this game is quite fun. If you don't like action games, stay far away.

Running with others Codexers is a hoot.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Yea, hopefully there'll be plenty of party-based Foundry stuff. Dungeons are a bit hectic, though we had a great time in Pirate King due to taking it more methodically (the nice floating jungle scenery also helped).

note to self: sleep less

coz i miss all fun stuff lately

Thanks, I guess I'll do that. Although, I will say they're going to need a different or more complex system than user voting for the Foundry content or this is going to turn into Happy Wheels.

So, where's the Codex group for this?

FFS. Game made me run all over looking for a postal clerk to send mail. Finally find it and it says I'm not high enough level to send mail. Tried to send you a friend invite instead.
