This game use to be an 8 for me, loved everything but the performance.
After EE my whole guild stopped playing, and with SH I have grown to hate the guild mentality of required donations.
And after the Coalecent scam I have no respect for perfectworld/cryptic. I login once a day for coins and proffesions but cant bring myself to play this brokea ss game. I refuse to get back into it until the RIGHT changes are made.
when i first started it was great. all kinds of quests, story's, missions. so much to do to lvl and play. i read the quests, and played and had fun. then spent a little money to help myself along to get a few cool things from the market. then, vigilance tasks. the first taste of grinding. i read the quests less and tried to get thru them quickly. found a group to grind with, and that helped.
i thought when i hit 70 a whole new world of content was going to be available. new quests, new story, new zones. hurrah! and in a way it was. then grind for the daily campaign currencies, going thru new dungeons, that looked a little familiar in layout, but that was ok. at lest i knew where to go.
all along the way things changed, things were tried, wards happened. people left, people arrived. things kept going on as they were. but.... i dont read anything anymore, i just click thru and try to rush thru things to get more stuff to salvage, to get more stuff, to up my gearscore by...12-40 at a time a few hundred during a double refinement.
saved my vip earned trade bars from 7 months of vip for some c wards so i could finally use the shards i have been saving and make a perfect vorpal, so i could be really competitive.
that change was frustrating. il probably just blow them all on gems during the next double refinement to up my artifacts a bit more.
now i am on a timer. i play alot still but when vip is up, ill become very casual. play with friends when they ask, or to help em thru a dungeon.
when the last day of vip comes, just in case i dont login again, ill find some quiet vista in a map somewhere, and just enjoy it for a few minutes. maybe the trail without quests in icespire peak.
wander up the giant blade that is now a bridge. it is beautiful up there. take a final screenshot, and be on my way.
@quazakaharet#6375 I feel like you just need a good group/guild/family behind your toon to engage you into the game again. Add me on xbox mate. Love the fact that you find beauty in the game and want to help extend that further. My GT: Rusty Bushes
I voted a 3 and that's just because i've had some kind of fun with it in the past. But if i add everything up, it's been more pain than enjoyment.
I fell into this game because it was one of few "F2P" games on the X1 and sadly enough it's Neverwinters strength - the MMOnopoly. If another decent F2P mmo would arrive on the X1 i bet NW would die pretty soon (please, make it happen.) Because honestly, NW isn't great in any sense and as a person who's been played it every day since day 1 it's oh so clear now that the devs don't give a flying duck about the gamers and the state of the game. There's SO many bugs and issues that's been there now for a year and nothing happens. That says it all. There's no excuses for that. That dev letter they released not long time ago made me facepalm so hard my left eye popped. Everything seems honky dory and looking up in their camp and they are SO thankful for all the feedback. Really? ...i mean, really? ...really? What? How about some self-awareness from the devs? How about that?
NW is more than half dead for me and nowadays i log on with a sigh to do the invocations and some guild dailies. I will never spend another dime on this game.
