Off Topic - Will anyone try out Neverwinter when it hits OB? Also feedback on how the p2w is implemented - Forum

" CliveHowlitzer wrote: I played it a bit during the most recent beta weekend and while it is somewhat amusing during certain parts. It is mostly pretty boring. The major negative points I saw were... 1 - A complete lack of customization of builds(Major black mark for a game based on D&D) 2- Lack of utility skills, emphasis on combat. Also a big black mark for a game based on D&D, DDO did it better. A lot of puzzles and skills that aren't just straight combat oriented. 3- A massive amount of restrictions on items. A ton of class restrictions and level restrictions. Majority of items I found I couldn't use, or ever use. 4- Combat was thankfully rooted, which made it look a bit better. However, it is still mostly the typical MMO fair. Bland and uninteresting, not much going on. A shame again, considering that PnP combat can be very interesting. 5- Restrictive hot bar. I don't know who started the recent trend of locking out hotkeys and forcing you to earn them, and then not giving you enough for your skills meaning you have to swap them in and out but they need to be shot. This trend is terrible, and all it does is frustrate the hell out of me. 6- Based on 4th Edition 'nuff said. 7- It is very very much going to be designed to drain your wallet as fast as possible. Everything in the game from what I saw looked like it was going to be very easily setup to gouge you for money at every opportunity. Yay for F2P. In the end, not very exciting. If it were a singleplayer RPG with a co op component, I'd be a lot more interested. Every time it strayed into MMO territory, it had design decisions that made me sad. Good for a few hours, but then its dull. Sadly i know it will be like this but i will hope until the very end. "May those who accept their fate be granted happiness.

Yea OP, I've been itching to play a new MMO. I have it downloaded and patched. Heard some ok things about it, and some bad. But, we'll see how it goes. Does anyone know any specifics on what time on the 30th OB is going to be available. Is it going to be like a PST release type of thing?

Sadly PW made the move i was afraid they would do. Made it P2W in their classic way. :( End game content only availabel for those who pay for the items or are willing to spend the rest of their life to get them. Fuck Perfect world fuck it down a dumpster. "May those who accept their fate be granted happiness. May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

I played NWN 1 since it got released, it was awesome. Then i played NWN 2 and it was a big let down. Now, with this P2W MMO, all that i anticipate is disappointment... But i will try the OB. I just hope that they create prestige classes and let us multiclass at certain point in the game. "The harder the game, the better."

No Multiclassing there, at least not in a classic sense that we are used to from previous NWN games (or even DDO). I also plan on trying the game when it hits OB, but I don't expect much from it. I hope combat will be more fun then SWTOR, as in less MMO like. I don't expect a good story, even SWTOR that prided themselves on story was pretty bad as all MMO are.

I been playing it for the last day or so, at lvl 16 so far and been having a lot of fun doing quests and the foundry which is very nice depending on who made it i guess but the voting system helps a lot in determining a good dungeon or set of quests to do from the foundry... also I'm really liking the gameplay a lot betting then a lot of other MMO like wow or gw2, I find the combat to feel like a inbetween with guild wars 2 and diablo 3, combat feel good i find... I haven't try'd a skirmish or real dungeon yet but can't wait to see what it brings... and also, the dungeon map editor is really awesome, maybe after i finish a game and stuff ill make my own dungeon..

did anyone else try it today?	Posted by AlphaMetric#0706 on Apr 30, 2013, 3:23:47 PM Quote this Post
I'd quite honestly rather play DDO than this. It looks okay enough as a game but to name it after one of the most famous cities in one of the most famous D and D campaigns/worlds really is a punch in the gut to anyone who actually played D and D or even read those old TSR novels. I watched some videos out of curiosity, saw people teleporting all over the place and was like 'no thank you.' If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.	Posted by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Apr 30, 2013, 7:48:29 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
