So I've not found if they have decided what to do with the PC Gamer Beta key. I have registered one and cannot seem to play. Any info on when we can test the game ?
Now thats out of the way.
So Keeping in mind I've not played DND for 8 years and don't know the new dnd rules or anything I will continue this post.
I know of 4 Archetypes announced with 5 classes total.
Fighter- The Guardian Fighter, The Great Weapon Fighter
Rogue- The Trickster Rogue
Wizard- The Control Wizard
Cleric- The Devote Cleric
Now having played other dnd games and the other neverwinter games this seems kind of low. However I am sure you have 3 different play styles within those classes that will most likely greatly differe gameplay, almost adding prestige classes into the mix , in a sense. I figure they will add Barbarian, Bard, Ranger, Monk, Druid, Sorcerror, Warlock, and Paladin at other dates after launch and the possiblities are endless there with the source content from dnd.
The way I am looking at this game is that its Neverwinter, not NEVERWINTER nights. It is based around the forgotten realms Neverwinter city.
Now again I am aware that because of how they are designing classes it most likely means a Cleric- Warpriest or something to that effect will make it into the game. I just cant help look at Cleric though and go wow that looks <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. A cleric not having heavy armor with a shield and mace seems weird. They are still smiting but it isn't the same.
The other thing which I wish the game had and am not entirely sure if it doesnt have it but I am assuming it doesn't since no other cryptic game has had is interactive story telling. Again it was a huge part of NWN and I've come to terms that it isnt NWN, Its NEVERWINTER. But I would still like to see some real content and some story voice overs. Most people these days hate reading. If they have to read they just rush through the quests never paying attention to story.
Then because there isn't much info out there I am curious to find out what kind of guild content will exsist in this game. Any Open World PVP at all ? PVP at all what kind of pvp ? Raids ?
All this aside I think the game looks great. By watching different streams on twitch.tv I can feel each attack the rogue is making. Its chunky but fluid and versatile if that makes any since. Combat seems great.
Anyway im done here. Feel free to comment.

I read it somewhere but do not have a link, maybe somebody does.
Now they updated it to:
If they want to keep holding people out of beta hoping they will buy the $60-200 pack that is just going to anger the ones that are fans and making more people think this game is a money grab.
Why would they not just let everyone that already has entered a beta key in already starting with the 2nd one? The people that bought $60-200 packs already got to play now and got all their items they paid for.
They are also spreading a lot of negative feedback and asking fro refunds in many cases. maybe people that did not spend $60-200 would see the beta in a more positive view and give out more feedback that is positive and get more people to buy the packs or at least or join up when the game releases.
Typical Cryptic. Say something then change it when they feel like it.
So, if they are smart they would let a lot of people in next beta now that they have our attention, now doing so will just push us to otehr games while we wait. Nobody has a long attention span nowadays, another difference from the 2000s to the 2010s.
Because their estimates of how many people the servers could handle accommodated the number of packs sold, but didn't accommodate the number of other keys out? They're still very early in the beta process, and have a lot of debugging stuff active in the code that impacts performance.
They aren't very early in beta. They are already selling beta packs and took down NDA and everything, so it is essentially an open beta already but they just want as many people to pay up front by dangling beta access to entice them.
They know if they let many people in with PC gamer and other non $60-200 beta keys, then those people will not buy a $60-200 pack.
Things like this where companies get greedy just angers customers, when will they learn?
It's pretty closed for an open beta, wouldn't you say? For an open beta they still have some stuff in alpha testing and alpha testers are still NDA...So...wha?
But we are not talking about selling betas or not. Only about people wanting to sample the game asap. No one must read that stuff like that beta keys guarantee beta access at some point but it doesn't say when or for how long. They could give beta access to the PC Gamer users the very last day during the very last hour, and they wouldn't be breaching the letter that goes with the beta keys. The internet backslash would be epic but they would have played according to what they actually offered but people didn't bother to read and/or accept.

Thanks. That was the main post I was going off of and was just wanting to confirm.
No problem!
