Of how to completely fail at beta and launches in the MMO space.
Mark my words. There will be inside jokes about this.
"You totally neverwintered that bro!"
"Hey, never neverwinter us again."
"You totally Perfect Worlded that."
"Don't be Cryptic. Just fail out loud so we can all make fun of you."
etc.
I'm not an interested party. I have no D&D stories to share, although I played as a kid. I have no stake in the the success of the game. I Only came here because a friend recommended it. But this game is (and deserves to be) an object lesson on failure.
This. Is. Bad.
The combat is amazing and fun.
And that's the only part of the experience that deserves to be called Beta. The rest is a mishmash of hacked together <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> that feels like none of the teams working on the game have even met, much less actually played the game or played the game together.
This will be a meme...
And unlike Diablo 3, there isn't enough in this game to help it rise above the inevitable derision.
So yeah, this will get deleted. And maybe some fans will argue.
Whatever. If I can help get even 1 person to not support this tragedy, I win.
Totally. Like, completely win the game.
Oh. And "panthers" and "Gruyere" and "Fuel Injector". Because frankly random quoted words that have no connection, meaning or relevance seems appropriate here.
After all, that's how this thing seems to have been designed.

I'm enjoying the game myself so not sure what you're babbling on about.
Is that a new genre? Some kind of rant to win syndrome?
I'm sorry it's been that hard for you, you shouldn't let a game take that much importance, while you have the right to complain, but you shouldn't be so confident that your opinion about a game worth more than any.
As much as you feel the game is a non-sense, your post makes no senses either.
I think you try to get attention, but you brings nothing to discuss at or argue with, sorry.
It's gold Jerry, gold.

It's odd that you mentioned D3, since I just gave that up for this (only played D3 incredibly sporadically to begin with, since it is a depressing train wreck). This is also far more fun than WoW has been in quite awhile. There are definitely problems, but I'm confident in saying that this outclasses most games I could name.
Twitch streams showcasing people using pay to win scrolls like they are candy is not helping and neither are the founders making posts that its legit to be afk during PvP or justifying their use of exploits.
Keeping the game installed as a side game so that when i'm bored, i can fire it up and kill mobs and their endless adds if i feel like it.
Sounds like you're an idiot that has no real priorities that likes to waste their time since they are so useless there's not much you could do that would be practical with your time.
Please, go back to League of Legends. If you don't play League of Legends, my bad, you sure act like a 13 year old BR huehueheuhuehuehuehue.
Of course there's a lot of things that must be done, we have lots of bugs and they REALLY should take a look at adds in boss fight, its excessive, and their skill dont seem to have cooldown, but whatever), the game brings a really nostalgic feeling, its veeery nice to quest, the skills are simple, you don't have to pull 2847 buttons, and it brings lots of new stuff we never saw in MMOs. ^^
I like it.
There are too many gameplay systems which don't go with the D+D RPG genre, nor with each other, and which make no sense at all in the gameworld; they are just there to manage player behavior in various ways, presumably to increase profitability. If you can ignore them and just get on with the decent RPG that's in there somewhere, good for you; but the game interface and many of its systems are designed to keep them in your face.
Some examples:
1) All the different currencies... of which some pairs can be converted and others can't, and all the different vendors, interfaces and trading systems that go with them. Unrealistic and immersion breaking. I'm sure there's some design philosophy behind it but I'll be darned if I know what it is.
2) Leadership as a crafting profession... wtf? Makes no sense at all. Is this in there just so you can earn XP when you're not actually playing?
3) Crafting agents more generally. At least in SWTOR that was your otherwise idle, shipbound crew, who had avatars and personalities; in NW they are disembodied identical character portraits, with no life in the gameworld, and apparently your slaves. Immersion breaking and awkward.
4) Real time intruding on game time, via scheduled events, the invocation system, crafting timers and companion training timers. The flow of gameplay is continually being interrupted by these timers; it's a lot like a workday when you can't get anything done because of appointments and meetings, except here, we are not getting paid for the irritation, unlike on the job. Again, it's immersion breaking and has no gameworld rationale (game time is never treated as isochronous with real time, just like a movie or a book); the feeling is that the reason for the timers is to keep you worrying about the game's schedule even when you aren't playing.
5) My char is almost level 25, and has changed armor probably 50 times, and yet every item she puts on looks identical to all the others. I have no problem with having fancier, prettier stuff in the cash shop, but that is no excuse for making only one set of art for absolutely everything else :O Again, unrealistic, atypical of the genre, and immersion breaking.
6) Seems like the enchant/socketing system is designed specifically to take up bag space, so you will have to pay for it. Yes, Diablo 2 started this trend with gem combining in the Horadric Cube; caused massive storage angst then and still does, and exploiting this design for cash is just abusive.
I'm going to keep playing this for a while, but I completely understand where the OP of this thread is coming from, and I think he's right (and, incidentally, is doing something completely apppropriate for a discussion forum like this one, despite views to the contrary :O )
Dry your eyes princess.

Your name is so apt in this situation it's uncanny.
