Are you having fun in the game at this point?

I noticed many were saying that the 'fun' is gone from the game. but saying it does not equate to real numbers, so I started this poll to see if the majority are happy in their playtime - whether it is for 1/2 hour or 4 hours. Maybe another poll on how long you spend in game (time-wise 
)
Note I have not specified PVP or PVE, just your satisfaction of the game at this point.

Might is not always right - the powerful sometimes forget that.

I still support the game, like once every few months to buy Zen during charge bonus weekends like the current one, but it's not like I'm spending that Zen. I am hoping the game goes in a better direction but it got too tedious and boring.
if anyone knows me from before the forum migration. I was the biggest developper defender ever. now? not so mych. they completley ruined this awesome game, i no longer feel the fun and the joy to support them with my money, they scrwed eveyrthign up
regards
The latest patch just shows that they still don't get it. They've taken a game that was fun and turned it into something frustrating and, at times, infuriating. I've started looking for other games to play that are actually (gasp) fun.
Blood Magic (RELEASED) - NW-DUU2P7HCO
Children of the Fey (RELEASED) - NW-DKSSAPFPF
Buried Under Blacklake (WIP) - NW-DEDV2PAEP
The Redcap Rebels (WIP) - NW-DO23AFHFH

The reasons why I'm no longer enjoying this game as much as I used to are:
now if they could remove linus req from last ToD boons, and add some valuable rp or gmops to dungeons
But this is typical...about 6-8 weeks after each module, things get slow and people start to drift. However, my little birds are telling me there's a lot of awesome potential coming with the next module, so I'd definitely stay tuned.
Until then, if you're bored or not having fun, go play something else. This isn't a marriage, it's a game. You can walk away whenever you want, and come back when it looks like fun again.
Don't take things so seriously.
1. have u tested that it isnt your isp fault, or it only happens in certain zones ? i havent noticed general lag for a long time
2. then you are reaaaaalllly unlucky or play at some weird times, im around page 5 on NCL and queue seems just fine(ofc there are trash, but that happens in any game)
The new invoking system is nice but feels glitchy because most of the time it doesn't reconize i hit the pray button and if i prayed through the whole system it shows me still i could pray but nothing happens.
On a eLOL run i nearly died on a giant golem without a reason. It seems some effects of our party gave the golem a reflect shield and i duelist flurry nearly myself as i attacked the golem.
So most of the time you doesn't fight the monsters in PvE, you fight the lagg and bugs you encounter.
The PvP feels totally borked. We have a PvP game which determines the Winner by Gearscore and to compensate this we would need a better matchmaking but because the upper 10% of the PvP List seems to only constist of exploiters most players quit PvP in Neverwinter already. And to explain why i think the upper 10% are Exploiters: They use always exploit able items and they are already maxed out with everything and i am like "Okay, the exploit is known only a couple of days now, how did they manage to get an enchantment already of transcendend level and their exploit artifact on mythic which combined cost around 10-15 million AD or around 20.000 to 30.000 Zen or more likely 200 to 300 bucks?"
So a part of the game is simply no fun to play and to play the same PvP Maps for around 2 years is neither fun.
You can have fun doing many things with the right people, hell you could have fun throwing <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> at each other if you were all so inclined.
It IS typical that people start to drift, because the game worsens after each module. Yea where have we heard that before? Everyone's "little birds" seem to say the next module will help improve the game, and each module brings further dissatisfaction and players quitting the game. I think this thread is proof of that.
You're right, this isn't a marriage, and it is just a game. However for those that have invested countless hours and high amounts of cash it's a little harder than just walking away from something you care about, probably more so than the people who are in charge of it. Especially when you know the driver at the wheel are a team of negligent developers/management who fail to see the very things that are wrong with this game, even when pointed out to them. The current situation of this game is indeed very serious.
<Let's not use such insults.>
It's a game, not an "investment". My 401k is an investment. The only "return" you should get out of investing time and money into a game is fun.
If you're not having fun, why do you keep putting time and money in? Serious question.
If the game has only gotten worse over the last two years, then what do you think is going to change? If you have no faith in the developers to "fix" things you think are broken, why are you sticking around? Seems pretty foolish to me.
There's no shortage of great games out there, including tons of F2P MMOs. If Neverwinter is so terrible, it should be pretty easy to find a game to put your time and money into, and have fun doing it.
But let me answer that question with a single word. Hyperbole.
If it was as bad as people on this forum make it out to be, you'd be gone, wouldn't you? But it's not. You're still here. And so are a lot of people. I wish I had the time to go back through these forums and collect the "This game is dying greatest hits" collection. If you believe what some people have said, this game has been dying since beta, doomed to failure.
Yet more than two years later...here we are
EDIT: And yes, I've done the same thing. Since Neverwinter launched I've played Final Fantasy, ESO and Wildstar...and ultimately none of them have grabbed me like Neverwinter, and certainly none of them were worth $15/month for. And even as some of them go free to play, you realize that they have the exact same problems as Neverwinter or any MMO. Go take a swing by their forums and you'll see the exact same complaints about nearly the exact same thing. Here's a picture of threads I pulled off ESO a few months ago, when the same horse was being beaten. Take a look, have a laugh...looks familiar, doesn't it? So I don't get bent out of shape over these things. I play, I have fun. If I'm not having enough fun, I leave. No big deal.
I am just playing for old day's sake and for my friends, got some new ones and some returned to see the disaster called Mod 6 for themseleves, lol seems disaster is attrackting people as in RL, but i know, they will leave soon.
Content zero, PVP is an unbalanced credit card/exploit/bot league, especially DOM, no intention to bring back old Dungeons, ninja nerfs, no honest communication, unfair RNG settings, broken and useless classes, to much grind...
Changes need to happen, is this so hard to understand?

The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
I know that those only count Steam accounts, but it shows, that they lost a lot of players since release of module 6. And you don't have to worry about people complaining here in the forum... you should worry about people, that just leave the game quietly and don't look back, like you suggested it.
People that complain here, and still log into the game, might be convinced to stay, if the Devs start to take player feedback more serious, and also start to show, that they care about the players with much better patches...
But people that just leave the game without a word, won't turn around and give NWO another chance that easy.
On topic, i only log into the game to invoke and go through professions with most of my characters, i play my OP for a while, since it's nearly the only class left, that can actually enjoy the game with the current changes, but that is it.
No more real money for ZEN, until there are some major changes around here.
Btw. how many Dev teams are actually left working full time on NWO exclusively?
Isn't the actual Dev team also working on STO and CO too?
That would be also a point, you should think about...
And they need to quit fixing <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> that isn't broken.
But.. when it comes down to it, I have some amazing guildies, and we have fun no matter what.

Yeah, i have the feeling it is actually a psychology experiment, how far they can strech our nervs. Every patch introduces the 100% opposite, what the playerbase asks for.
Yes, if something similar with a tiny bit of DnD or old school fantasy sytle and similair action combat would contest NWO, i think most of us wouldn't be here after Mod 6.
But the most funny thing, what surprises me, that Devs still think they have done a perfect job.

On top of that, overflow XP increase to possibly get a power point is just nuts now (at least make it guaranteed!!). It's even worse now that my main is done with her boons and in order for me to get additional power points, I have to grind the same content over and over. It was a nice gesture that refinement rewards were put into DR/Sharandar but otherwise there is nothing really rewarding after boons are completed, no new content.
Adding 50% HP increase to mobs is ridiculous. The mob damage reduction was needed but they didn't need extra HP. Well maybe the trash in dungeons but not in boss fights OR in the open world. People want to get their dailies done asap. Slowing it down doesn't mean "more rewarding". My main is a justice OP, prior to the changes, I did just fine, no complaints. Now depending on what I fight, it can quickly become "omg die already". I'd hate to see what it's like for other non justice OP builds.
All in all, I came into Mod 6 with high tolerance and an open mind. It was the last patch that has finally made me annoyed and disgusted.
