Well Met!
What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Hi, welcome and GZ! on gettin to look after us reprobates.
I have a question, I really want to buy a guardian pack for a friend but the way the payments are set up currently if I try to buy one it will be added to my account. Is this likely to change before the next beta.
I put a ticket into PW support about this and they were not very helpful and their suggestion of sending him the money was I think a bit rude and would not work. I did buy the PC gamer mag and sent him the key but now it looks like that may not be valid at least for the next beta.
Any help or suggestions or find outs for me would be awesome.
New info: Just read the new Beta anxiety thread and in there it states that the PC gamer key is valid for the upcoming beta test, can you confirm this please
Unoficiall reply - I believe that is in Astral Diamonds, which you can then choose to convert to Zen. I don't believe there is a way to get money 'out' of the game. It stays Astral Diamonds (in Neverwinter) or Zen (in Perfect World).
1. Does this game support PS3 or Xbox controlers?
2. Can you play this game in windowed mode, allow the use of a 2nd monitor for other things like playing around on the forums for example while still playing on your other screen?
3. Will there be other classes introduced to the game in the near future? In particular the Ranger & Bard classes?
@hamete we haven't said anything yet about the leveling system...but as for the Foundry, much like with STO, you can expect to access the Foundry in-game.
Question: During the upcoming Beta weekend are you planning on toning down the pace of the leveling system? I was not in it but I did watch the first look by mmohut and by the end of the tutorial segment.. which was not long. He was already several levels into the game.
Question: Will foundry be run as a separate downloadable program compared to the game itself? IE: Someone who doesn't like to make dungeons can just download the game and play in them as opposed to downloading the 'extra files' required. or vice versa (however silly that may sound). I, for one, will be doing both, but I am curious.
Well I have one question that has led me to going to the website many times xD is there an official date for open beta yet? Or do you have a feeling? I recall something about it being late last year was the approx then I think it got changed to Q1 of this year. And with these beta weekends it's looking like it won't be out until may or june maybe :< I'm just curious if there is an actual date or time period you're confident of saying the game will be available for everyone. Thanks for your time!
I do think that a LOT of people are looking for an answer to this:
After the recent change to the FAQ section where it is stated that
"Please note that the Drow will only be available for Founder's Pack purchasers for at least 60 days after launch."
The title "Founders Pack" include both of the founder packages or only the hero of the north?
As this is not yet made clear, i am pretty sure that the community would love a clear and straight response to this.
Not sure if this question falls under your area, but I'm most interested in how respecs will work, especially given the practice of slowly releasing classes. Thanks!
I have a couple of questions, first being:
How big do the zones get later in the game?, because the zones i played through during the first Weekend felt quite small and linear, granted that was only up to level 30, but still, how much bigger/open do they get?
Second question is:
How long after launch do you expect there will be a ranged non-magical class? (ranger/hunter/marksman/scout etc..)
Third and final question is:
What with the game being great for people who want to create their own content (Foundry) and being able to customize the UI alot (Placement/Scale), Will you be supportive of Addon creators?, This is something i feel is a very big part of what keeps an MMO fresh for a very long time, and it's something that i sorely miss from other games i play.
Thanks for your time, and i look forward to reading the completed AMA once it's done .
EDIT: How come it says "PWE User" under my forum name when i purchased the Hero of The North founders pack?

WHERE ARE THE HALFLINGS?
I saw them on the creation screen in a beta video but they weren't select-able. I, personally, will be very upset if they're not available on launch. Or rangers. Well, I can probably live without rangers for a little bit.
As for the Drizz't lovers, they can find an appropriately ill-fate because he's overrated. inb4 flame war over opinions.
The reference to the drow being exclusive for the first 60 days is in the aforementioned FAQ thread. If nothing has been announced, why is it in there?
The forum has been in a panic, so some clarity would go a long way.
@quester827 Beta Weekend 2 starts March 8 and Beta Weekend 3 starts March 22. And we haven't said anything about classes beyond those mentioned in the Extended FAQ.
When is the next playtest weekend? Also, will they do both sides of a class, or just one. I know they have Trickster Rogue, but I have a Brawny Rogue I really enjoy playing I.R.L. and might want to model a character after him
I know a -lot- of people are going to be upset if they can't unlock drow because they didn't buy the founder's pack. The whole "unique background" idea sounds pretty brilliant, so I hope they're doing that instead of making the race itself exclusive.
Anyway.
Q: Can you make dungeon's in The Foundry, or just quests?
Halfling is no longer listed in the extended FAQ as a playable race, replaced by half-orc. Typo? or were they pulled?
There is a lot of talk about the drow. Hero pack gives renegade drow and normal drow. Does the guardian pack give normal drow? Does the guardian pack count as a founder's pack? Again, this has become a hot subject with a lot of debate.
Edit:
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions.
@takigushi Astral Diamonds can be put up on the auction house to be sold for micro-transactable points, which can in turn be used to buy cool stuff. It's a flexible, community-based system!

Hmmm New "King Founder Pack", includes Coconut Horse Mount.
I have a few questions hopefully you can answer.
1. Does this game support PS3 or Xbox controlers?
2. Can you play this game in windowed mode, allow the use of a 2nd monitor for other things like playing around on the forums for example while still playing on your other screen?
3. Will there be other classes introduced to the game in the near future? In particular the Ranger & Bard classes?
We'll be showing off more stuff from new zones soon, so stay posted!
We also haven't yet released any info about classes other than those in the Extended FAQ, or modding. But the Foundry is going to be super fun!

I think I saw a stream of someone using a game pad. Of course it has to work with Windows, so you can't hook up a PS3 one without a converter.
Zeke said in a stream there were tons and they would be added later.
