A few things up front:

1) I'm not max level yet(only 18)

2) I'm not really a D&D fan(not that I dislike it, I'm just not very familiar with the lore)

3) I only play casually(I alternate playing between about 4 different games in a play session)

With all of that said, I'm really enjoying this game. Its just plain fun to play, and I just wanted to say thanks to the devs for their hard work :D

    Ya dont let the 80-90% of the forum users get you down. Dont listen to what they say only listen to the 10-20% that think the game is great.

    OP just wait you will learn to be hateful it doesnt start till later after you have played the game for longer

    Dont worry, I'm not new to MMO forums. The truth is, I dont care if a single person agrees with me or not. I just posted this thread to tell the devs thanks :)

    As someone who plays a lot of MMOs, I can tell you that pretty much all MMO forums are mostly negative in tone, and there is actually a scientific reason for that that has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Human nature is such that people are more vocal when they are upset than when they are happy. That means that the majority of people who feel motivated to voice their opinions on any MMO forums are doing it because they are not happy about *insert subject here*.

    On the other hand, the majority of people who are happy with the game dont feel motivated to speak out, so they are simply playing the game rather than posting on its forums. So yes, the majority of posts on an MMO forum are negative. And while we're stating the obvious, the sky is blue and the grass is green :P

    There you go.

    Also note. Negative feedback can be very constructive. Conveying the feedback albeit negative but in a positive/constructive format, is helpful. But its relative again on how its communicated and received and interpreted.

    EDIT: BTW Im enjoying my time ingame :) Few things need some tweaking, fixes needed here and there; but overall Im enjoying the game. As an MMO gotta realize it'll evolve over time. This game is still just outta the gate.

    Yeah, I wasn't a fan either but after researching I found out this came from some type of board game with dice and cards. Now I see why people associate dnd with virgins and nerds lol but it is fun.:p

    I totally agree, but a big sticking point is that what one person perceives as "working as intended" another person sees as "OP". With little direct input from the devs, the forum-goers resort of theorycrafting and opinionated interpretation of how things *should* be done.

    The game is fun....that is until you get to lvl 60 and have epic gear then start on another character and it's the same thing over and over again.

    I'm working on my 4th character, all different classes, and the quests are almost all the same as the first with only a few minor changes on some side quests.

    Basically I just log in twice a day to start/receive crafting and pray.

    Unless something is done, this game will go down the drain fast when The Elder Scrolls online is released.

    Ive not really had a problem with the repetition yet. Sure the missions are the same. But each character plays so different, that even fighting the same boss, its a different experience. Ive been having fun, just comparing each class this way, against the same missions, and seeing how each one preforms. What they do well against, what they are weak against. Ive been enjoying it pretty well.

    Well I too have tried all the classes with 3 level 60's I continue to enjoy the game, I also have 3 open character slots for when new classes/paragon paths are released. Sometimes I think the queues could be faster, but that is server side tech and will come eventually. I am mostly relying on xp from pvp and foundry as the quests are mostly just kill x or collect x. I do do the bag quests and the profession quests though and I have a few favorite zones that I won't get tired of. All in all it is not a perfect game, but it'll do.

    Well sorry your logic fails i went and just checked out some other major MMO forums. They from looking at them have about 5-10% negative posts. Here its more like 80-90% negative. So by your logic then this game pissed off alot more players then the other games. Being the mmo with the most pissed off player base isnt a good thing.

    While I too love this game, I think I love the gateway site even more! It just isn't feasible for me to spend as much time in the game each day as it would require to level up all the professions that I am currently working on. See...some people get happy with lots of alts, I get happy with lots of crafting. It is something that I can do any time while also tending to my every day stuff, like feeding my children and cleaning house. The gateway has really been a game changer for me and made it so much more fun!

    . . . . . I'm also having a blast. This has become, by far, the funnest MMORPG I have played to date and I have played nearly every one to hit the Western Market. I too have not reached level cap and have no desire to rush through the content. I only get to play several hours a week, due to health. So that also helps me in taking my time to enjoy the roses, so to speak. Add on to that, that this is the Forgotten Realms, which I have been DMing for 20 years now.... yeah, I am loving this game completely.


    . . . . . I only have a few gripes left that haven't either been addressed or fixed. One is the over-priced transmuting costs and and enchant removal costs. I feel these prices are way too extreme to be functional AD sinks and also provide aesthetic quality to players like me who love customization. Right now, I am spending way more than I can make in AD to transmute and disenchant my items.


    . . . . . My other only real concern is that there has been no further statements on PWE/Cryptic's plans for player/guild housing since Alpha/Beta. I am very much a House-lover and decorator in MMORPGs

    . . . . .
    Housing is the one aspect I usually end up loving or hating the most in MMORPGs that have it. Ultima Online and Everquest II are the two I compare and judge all housing systems by, mostly UO because of the ability to build brick by brick. I'm hoping PWE/Cryptic incorporates the Foundry into players designing and building their own homes and guild establishments, even taverns and such - as persistent housing instances open to the public/friends list.

    First of all *hugs* the original poster thank you for being a beacon of positivity in a sea trolls.
    I am here from Champions online I was in the CO beta but was more into city of heroes until
    its untimely closing, but ive also played WOW, eve, Lotro, Tor, Neocron and many others

    I have 5 characters ranging from 12-45 not including all the characters I got up to 20+ in
    beta weekends 1 2 and 3. ad I am not bored of the content yet in fact I feel invoking makes leveling to fast.
    I am a hero of the north owner my hubby has the guardian pack and we are planning on getting the feywild
    pack and we both firmly feel it has been worth every penny.

    You can look at my sig to see a general idea how much i've bought in fashion and dyes. I got the jester top
    with trade-bars from lockboxes and I didn't get one pony. I don't regret it and id do it again as it was fun.
    and I actually made a lot of profit by selling stuff from the boxes on the AH, I love the fact that the AH is AD based
    and not gold based. I find AD - Zen - gold exchanges highly entertaining.

    Ive maxxed alchemy and I think its the coolest profession yet.

    I am in 2 rp guilds Haven's point and Jagged daggers and I enjoy both communities tremendously.
    I even enjoy the moonstone mask rp. and sometimes just watching people try to get into the vip room.
    I think the pvp is mildly enjoyable and I typically hate pvp in games.
    I think this is the first game im actually looking forwards to capping in thanks to the campaign system.

    Foundry...what can I say about foundry we don't already know. It is a brilliant feature.

    yes this game could use work, yes more content or customizability or quality of life features would be welcome.
    but what you have so far is very fun and well worth the money i've spent. I do hope NWO is added to CORE/ARC and some of the brilliant innovations in crafting and foundry get applied to other cryptic games.

    Why would anyone listen to people hanging around the forum of a game they hate? Sound logic there, huh?

    All joking aside, never listen to anyone on a forum unless you a solid have reason to believe them. Play the game an make up your own mind. That goes for any game.

    I'd rather play pnp D&D over any video game honestly. I just like using my imagination to visualize what is going on in the game. I like reading also, so that's part of it. I'm a chef, I kayak, drink alcohol, and generally raise hell. I'm not a nerd or a virgin though. The association that people make between these things is laughable. Normal, everyday people like different things. I doubt the association would exist if there wasn't a stigma attached to D&D, and more people tried it out.

    A lot of that probably started with LARPing. People even thought D&D was devil worshiping, because there are gods and demons in the game.
    TL : DR? Then don't waste my time responding.

    The journey from 1-60 on your first character is absolutely the high point of the game. Take your time, smell the roses, and enjoy. Do not rush this bit, as the rest of the game doesn't really hold up to that high standard.

    However, levelling a single character isn't just the best bit, it can be easily done without paying a thing, so you win. Have fun :)
