im running ddo with just minor issue like teleporting to dungeon failed just need to reclick
so hoping my system is able to play this game when its out
However speculative requirements are given on truthseeker's FAQ.
Unlike my New Users FAQ, this is for all members of all levels of experience. Of course Developers and PWE/Cryptic employees' answers trump everybody when it comes to this game's final answer, but consider this an "Entire Community Support" section not limited by things like "technical support" "User Interface (or UI) information" or "forum support" only. If it's related to this specific game, it can be asked here.
That written, off-topic conversations have the risk of being moved elsewhere in the forum (preferred,) have the non-relevant parts edited out, or could be outright deleted in its entirety. While we encourage information and discussion of all things, this section is about the Neverwinter MMO game (and all its members' questions and answers.) If something branches off from an answer, we'll be lenient to a point if it goes to a tangential connection (and will likely nudge the questions back to the questions and answers,) but if we start getting posts like "Why SWO should have had Wookie Groomers," that's when we hit the brakes. No offense to Wookies and their grooming, but that's clearly a non-NWO topic.
So don't post them here and you have been warned!
So without further ado, welcome to Neverwinter Online Q&A (For Everybody)
In EQ1, I remember a chat window in the middle lower of the screen and it was pretty much an integral part of my head's up display.
In all the videos I have seen there has been no chat section. Any idea where, how it's going to be implemented?
Just curious where I am going to continually type in my wise-cracks and bad jokes...

The default location likely will be the lower left corner and it can be "accessed" by hitting the return key or possibly mouse clicking on its location area. Since demos don't have any reason to show chat, this is why the window was in "invisible mode" Besides key-mapping any key or combo you want to "pop up" the window, the configuration allows you to move the HUD windows to any liking you wish as done in STO and CO programs. That default method (or the quickest at least) is often hitting the esc key and choosing that option, then moving the windows to wherever on the screen you like, including overlapping other windows, then exiting the move windows screen.
Indeed. If CO and STO are of any representation of how the UI will function, then it is safe to say we'll have a chat box as well as a UI that is thoroughly movable and customization, especially considering this is also on the Cryptic Engine which uses the same UI functionality.
I really like how much the UI customization has grown in both STO and CO and both are almost spot-on the same in regards to functionality, features and customization. I haven't seen anything that suggests that NWO would stray from this.
My main hope, in this regard to the UI, is that NWO comes built with a hot-key setting to toggle UI Custimization Mode. STO has been lacking this for far too long.

Okay so henchmen, hired npcs will be a part of soloing pc's parties; this has been discussed, but what about non grouped npc , can they be set to attack other non grouped npcs?
Say I want to create the scene in "Dancing with Devils..." Where after 30 seconds a group of hill giants crash into the clearing and start attacking everything insight not a giant in a certain set radius, Pc or non party npc alike.
Wonder if this is possible?

Actually since the conversion to MMO I have not heard anything specified about henchmen. Companions once but not henchmen. And it's not clear if you can have placed NPC's (in Foundry right) attack other NPCs. I think that's an excellent Dev question!
In one of the foundry videos with Andy "the bad" V, he mentioned skill checks "might be" incorporated in npc conversations but they haven't figured out how they wanted to do it yet

Just so I am clear on my understanding (nomenclature can be fun), I think what you are saying is that there is no knowledge of how this will actually work (henchmen or companions, or neither), but you do recall companions being mentioned since the conversion to MMO.
For clarity, I assume a henchman is a temporary party member that you would hire for a specific mission/task, and a companion would be a more permanent addition to your party (aka SWTOR)?
Thanks
Yep to all. Companion is like a combat pet.
1) will we be able to multi-class?
2) will the be a window or space for us to create a short (500 character limit maybe) back story for our characters?

Your post was moved to this thread. Please make sure all questions like this go to this thread or the New Users FAQ (if asking about something you read in or are requesting in that thread.)
From my New Users FAQ second section:
1) Multi class in Fourth edition is not the same as what was in First through third edition and could mean the Fourth edition Multi class or the Hybrid Class. At the time of this reply, neither are mentioned to be included in launch.
2) While no information has been specifically included at this time, every Cryptic game has included a biography section and Neverwinter Online should include one. If Star Trek Online is any guide a minimum 2000 character biography should be applicable.

"There are not factions that you make immediate decisions about at the beginning of the game; you are not of the Horde or Alliance faction or something like that, everyone comes into Neverwinter basically answering the call of an adventurer to explore and help the city, so it’s equal footing there.
But there are some factions and groups that you might join up with – is that how it would work?
We haven’t specifically started talking about in what ways there might be other faction related stuff yet."
Sorry Zeb, Truth, Amb, this may need to be moved to Q and A thread
Now, taken from the main "Race" page for the forums Here, they mention Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Drow, Dwarf, Tiefling.
The interviewee seems to have added Halfling and removed Dwarf and Tiefling ... can anyone confirm if this is true, or, if it's just an error by GameInformer?
Halfling is in truths stickied faq thread, was confirmed raging nerds interview.
OK -- so just not on the official Race page yet- got it. Thanks.
I can't remember all of them off the top of my head (I'm at work), but I recall a Harper theme, another theme for an outcast Red Wizard of Thay, one for being a scout for the Bregan D'aerthe (the drow mercenaries). One theme was for being a member of the Dead Rat thieve's guild or something like that (but you had to become a wererat). Stuff like that.
The factions stirring the pot in Neverwinter were pretty varied:
And a bunch more I can't remember.

So the world of NW is supposed to be a lot similar to NW pnp book alongwith its story being the default lore/official story or cannon in future D&D works.
How do you define advanced character progression, that is a bit of a nebulous statement so clarification would be appreciated. I mean I consider advanced character progression a bit different than most, I would actually like to see games shift genres, so you might start out at lvl 1 with a action oriented RPG, shift into a more tactical style RPG and then shift again into an RPG with RTS flavors (yes that's my fantasy game).
I really do NOT want another Guild Wars 2 where you max your character in less then 2 weeks! I prefer "build wars" and if there is a powerplateau(character can not get more powerful) then it should take a very long time to reach it!
This game is maybe not so hardcore in character progression as WOW(everlasting lootmill never max character), but neither is it so silly casual as Guild wars 2!
