    Shallow and Pedantic.

    That phrase just keeps running through my mind.

    PvP has 1 game mode, 2 maps. Why not 2 game modes, 1 map each?

    Questing is on par with WoW-TBC style. Sure, you have voice overs, but every single zone is exactly the same:
    1. Complete first camp.
    2. Complete second camp.
    3. Complete personal instance.
    4. Complete third camp.
    5. Complete last instance.

    PvE dungeons have no design to them. All the fights are the same. Adds from the ceiling/walls/ground/air. AoE on the ground.
    Too easy? Add some zeros to their hp and damage.

    It's like the development team got stuck on repeat. Created 1 design for questing/pve/pvp/crafting and pressed the copy button.

    If that's what their team could produce in their time then that's fine. But it's time to cut personnel, go down to a skeleton crew, and start milking the game for cash for your next project.

    Thats cause they're riding on the D&D name. But to be fair, some T2 dungeons are incredibly difficult. You need a diverse team that know what the heck they are doing to win. D

    I'm having a lot of fun with Neverwinter, but I'm going to stick with a few complaints, because for me, the amount of happy very much outweighs the unhappy. So .....

    I'm kinda getting tired of being told every time someone gets a Heavy Infernal Nightmare. It's especially irritating when the admin is announcing this in a non-English language. Seriously, do we really need this global'd? Please think about changing this.

    Respecs for powers should cost Astral Diamonds, just like respecs for Feats do.

    I'm flabbergasted at being told my Halfling TR was a "bad choice," because Half Orks make such superior Rogues.

    OK, I can't really think of anything else I want to complain about .... it's wierd, because I agree with Daays, regarding the overall "sameness" feeling to the questing zones & dungeons, but ... it doesn't really bother me much. I am hoping to see more varied environments as I progress through the 30-40 range & beyond .....

    Not enough Orks to kill. Tower District was fun, but ended too soon, & I've been pounded with undead constantly. I really hope I can get out of this stuff soon & get on with killing Orks :)

    O yea, two more things I dislike: too many iconic classes missing, & no Gnomes :(
    Fare you well
    Let your life proceed by its own designs
    Nothing to tell
    Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine ...

    1) It's a global game get over your racism.
    2) You can use AD to get Zen to get a respec so in a way yes you can get a respec with AD..
    3) Some people are imbeciles, don't let it bother you.
    4) The real game starts at 60 where you can do every previous dungeon but in epic mode.
    5) This game is brand spanking new. They will release more classes and more races as the time comes.

    It's got nothing to do with racism, & everything to do with what I consider non-necessary spam, & then on top of that being spam in a language I can't even read.

    It's not a big deal.. it really isn't. Just over reacting.

    Put BOE dungeon loot on the ugly.
    Nothing like running a dungeon only for people to need on your "needed upgrade" gear just so they can sell it.

    Besides it's really simple to fix this issue. Make sure you are leader, watch who rolls what when things come up.

    If you see someone ever roll a need on an item that isn't theres kick them immediately from the group before you roll. I havent tried this yet but in theory should remove their chance of the item.

    On the topic of arguing. I'm tired of getting a 24 hour silence because people don't like my opinion on certain aspects of the game. It's bull**** that a community can just silence someone because they don't like what they're saying. I understand why this mechanic is in the game. To keep chat spam to a minimum since every Instance of the same Zone shares the same chat!! To keep gold spammers from filling chat with useless information, but there's no reason to have this in the game to silence community players for saying what they want. There's an ignore function if you don't like what someone is saying.

    And, therein, as I understand it, lies the problem. If you manage to acquire enough ignores, you are automatically silenced/muted for 24 hours.

    Incorrect. It's people who collectively as a group report an individual as spam. There they are marked for spam and muted for 24 hours. Same reason why you see the same chat spammers from time to time. It is people who know this who abuse it muting people in zone chat simply because they disagree with what the person said.

    Seems like a pretty fair list. I would personally add the fact training tomes for the companions still not being in game, the current looting system, and only one paragon available per class to "The Bad" list myself.

    On the plus side, I haven't encountered many bugs myself. Least so far...course now that I said that I'll probably get wallopped by them.

    Whenever this happens, which is every 10 seconds or so, I tend to curse at the game, and it makes me want to kill the chat.
    Example:

    [Admin] XYZperson has acquired a Heavy Infernal Nightmare. --- Me: "Who cares? Screw you, for god sakes!!"
    A few seconds later....
    [Admin] ABCperson erworben hat, eine Heavy Infernal Nightmare. --- Me: "SERIOUSLY GAME?? STOP TROLLING ME, OMFG!!"

    Quite a long time and many many Infernal Nightmares later...
    [Admin] SDSFperson has acquired a Heavy Infernal Nightmare. --- Me: "FFS Shut up already. I dont care."

    How I feel when it comes to Need/Greed:
