I've been browsing these forums for a bit now just looking at all of the doom and gloom. Some founded, some not. But hey that's what the other posts are all about. So how about we start a counter-thread. If you are actually having fun with this game, or have something nice to say, let's hear some of that.
Yeah I know...lots of people will say that those who are having fun are playing the game. And that's true. But if you stop on by the forums and you see this thread and figure you are having a good time, let's hear it!
Me personally, I'm having a load of fun. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones, but I got my Founder's stuff after filing a ticket and receiving an email within 12 hours telling me to apply it to my account. And I purchased ZEN without any real problems. More importantly the game itself is amazing. I'm a huge fan of D&D, have been since AD&D way back when. And I can honestly say I love how they made the wizard feel...well...wizardy. Same goes for the flavor of the cleric and the guardian fighter. I think the whole mark system from 4E was put in quite well.
Graphics are amazing in this game. I love walking around Neverdead Graveyard admiring the place, and some of the foundry missions (Cragsteep Crypts comes to mind) are just amazingly beautiful and well done. Soloing foundry missions I had no problems with drops or EXP after the patch, but then again maybe I'm just easy to please.
Let us know if you're having a good time out there!

TL;DR - If you're happy and you know it post a reply.

Maybe commenting on the players not getting what they paid for would help.
Wrong thread brah
On topic: Enjoy the game immensely!
Cause in many other F2P (or even certain subscription based) MMOs, I'll keep playing the game and all of a sudden, something will bother me about the game. Like one game doesn't have mounts, other game blocks too much game content by forcing me to pay up, some have ugly armor sets, others have ugly graphics and/or character animations, some have too much story, others have a terrible GUI.
But Neverwinter? I have yet to find anything really big to complain about.
It has mounts and they look AWESOME!!! Bought the 3000 Zen Wolf Mount! I can't stop spamming my spacebar key to hear and watch it get mad as if it was ripping someone appart!
So far Cryptic doesn't seem to block any game content by forcing us to pay money! They make us pay money at the right places and I like that!
My Halfling Rogue's armor is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! OMG she looks so awesome in her Level 25ish set!
Graphics are spectacular and very new! But best of all, the animations! Everything in this game feels so fluid and well animated! They don't move around like a robot!
The GUI is awesome too! Everything is customizable!
All in all, this is the best F2P MMORPG and possibly best MMORPG I've played in a very long time!
What level are you currently? This may have some bearing on my eventual reply.
A bit of nostalgia for the old timers.
PVP guide - Keeping it fun with the basics.
Waiting for frineds to reach 60 so we can run T2s.
Love the game, +10000 from me, can't wait for more Forgotten Realms cities/areas to be added
Till now im loving it.

LoL is worse though
Get your head out of your asses and actually listen to your CUSTOMERS
Voiced Quest Lines - it is amazing what value add this adds in creating a engaging adventure
Dungeons - putting my GF complaints aside it is really nice to be able to do a good ole dungeon run again. I like how you started them out very easy and get progressively harder. I look forward to the next adventure.
Foundry - I have very limited experience with these, but I am looking forward to seeing what the community has to offer and strongly believe that this is going to set a new standard for MMO in the future.
PvP - I am a PvPer at heart and the action based combat make this a lot of fun. I do wish there were more scenarios... only having 1 (2 different maps) is very limited. I am afraid this part of the game may get old fast.
Combat - action based targeted combat is amazing... tab targeting now seems so old school after using this targeting system. The blocking mechanic is different and a nice action based tanky ability. TAB marking... not a fan
Zen Market - I agree with most that the prices are a bit excessive on some items (BAGS). Prices aside i like the offerings on the market and wish there were more options - armor and costumes skins, cleric companions(hint), more bag options...

(One thing I like about being a healer in this game - it's way more than just "watch health bars, hit heal button when health bars get low".)
Well, it's always the same on any game forum, isn't it? The squeaky wheels always make the most noise. I doubt anyone with any experience with game forums will read too much into the negativity.
It's a good game, with pretty good graphics. There is way too much clipping on the character models for my taste, but hopefully that is on the 'to be fixed' menu. The best feature of the game will be the Foundry, which will provide a stream of user generated content, and allows for RP guilds to make their own stories.
It's an excellent game they will provide me plenty return of enjoyment for each dollar I invest in it.
Can you have my stuff? No, I did not have any, prices were to high on the garbage in the store. If they were at a normal level I would have spent thousands here like I have in STO because I would be getting value for my money.
The more people like me that leave, the less profit and income this company will have for development of future content.
Peace
The game is awesome but the payment methods are for me a bit of a backlash...
After playing a day I thought i might get the Hero of the north pack to support the game, only to find that as a EU customer I need to pay 50$ more... So that was a major no no for me!
And the ingame payment conversions i dont like, im willing to pay a lot for a game i like, but it has to be a fair price!
Dont ruin a brilliant game by your methods of getting payback then this game is ruined in a short while! It's not 1994 longer the competition is getting harder, make som wise choices and you have devoted supporters!
Cheers!
Just foundry alone, if done right could keep this game running for years to come, even with minimal amount of cryptic created content. Theres literally potential for endless leveling paths via foundry, lets just hope exploiters dont take that away completely
With all that said, the game is not without its faults. Most complains are about cash shop/end game AD prices, pvp imbalances and dungeon bosses design, etc and they are all valid complaints imo. Lets just wait and see if and how cryptic reacts to those complaints but with foundry alone they really have solid building blocks for years to come, lets just hope they dont ignore other things because of it.
Yes, there are some things I dislike, but the good far outweigh the bad imho. As far as the zen prices go, I agree, they are less than satisfactory, but I try to take into consideration that if this was a p2p game they would be getting this money regardless(and I would, provided some content expanses and minor tweaks, p2p.) At least this way you have the choice as to how MUCH you give them. This game is P2advancefaster/P2Cosmetic, but certainly not P2W. And that is the only kind of F2P game I will ever support.
Thank you for this open beta PW. Overall. I support you thus far.
- Combat feels satisfying. I wasn't fond of animation locks at first but sending an orc flying from the force of your hit feels great.
- It's D&D and Forgotten Realms. Less open than I had hoped though.
- Foundry really has a potential but because of the possibility of exploit maps the rewards are quite horrible.
- Zones look really nice even if they are a 'bit' cramped. I guess we won't get to ride over grassy meadows.
