I've played D&D for quite along time now. I've had a passion for MMORPG games for just about as long.
This game is actually a pretty cool game. When I first started playing it, I thought to myself, "Right on, they finally did it"!! It turns out it's just another commercial based (Free Player) MMORPG.
In my opion, a perfect game would be a real D&D based MMORPG, No lvl limit cap, and 10,000+ quests.
I don't know if that's an unreal request or not. But I do know that I'll never sink my money otherwise.
Don't get me wrong the free thing is great, i love the concept of this game. EXCEPT!!
What is the deal with these invisible toons at the PVP Arena? OMG, I haven't seen such BS in my life.
What kind of competition is it for them. It totally ruined the PVP arena for me. I think I had a better time during my motorcycle accident!!! For real? And they get all these bonuses for alot of kills.
How hard is it to jump out of a bush and slash someone? Believe me, your not tuff, and you certainly don't deserve the kill bonuses. That would be like getting paid to slash your Grandma while she's asleep. Eww, big bonus there!!!
Other than that, killer game, I like it.
Stop the lvl 60 cap, I think i would pay for this. Till then. Odios, I think that's how you spell it.

As for 10,000+ quests, short of players doing the work (like with a system like the Foundry which we already have) or every quest being kill 10 bad guys, there is no way a company could turn that many quests. so yes, that is a tad unrealistic.
I like your idea though. In a perfect world we could have unlimited levels, spells, and quests. Unfortunately we are limited by our technology.

Right! PVP isn't everything, in fact I hate it, but it pays a little even if you lose. What I hate worse than PVP is when you don't get a fair shake. Of course I get my <edit> kicked and I kick some <edit>. But that stealth HAMSTER is just <edit>.
example in PnP game. I remember back in the day with Shadowrun where you can cast a mana dart (light damage if you don't save) but for every success you can increase the damage level by one (upto to Deadly. the order is light, medium, serious and deadly) so a simple well with a rule tweak (there were no levels in shadowrun per se) we got this spell to a high level that it can almost instantly kill anyone (level 15 mana dart which is hard to save against) it was insane!!
as for 10,000+ quest? well, are we talking about unique quest? you know how hard it is? There are several quest that can be done (at this time) in video games.
Fetch Quest - collect X item and return
kill quest - kill X monster and return
find/discovery quest - go to x location, discover hidden items (usually can only be done once)
puzzle solving - again, usually not randomize. TSW, The Secret World, does this but once you solve it, you have the answer for the next character
build item - and return to me (similar to fetch quest)
escort quest - escort X to Y location
question quest - solve riddles
basically it is something along those lines and hard to randomize. We don't have AI yet that change the mission on the fly and keep it balance (maybe some day)
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
This game is just a generic mmo sword and board style with Dungeons and Dragons all over the box cover. Any real D&D fundamentals are frowned upon, insulted, mocked, and immediately discarded as rediculous. No way an mmo can have hit or miss AC...No way an mmo can have diverse characters... no way and mmo can be unbalanced with specialized classes.. No way a mmo can allow a limitless lvl cap.
Of course its all completely absurd.. its common knowledge at this point that the cryptics goal is to milk the $wow$ gen and pull at the heartstrings of the D&D faithful with "words". Things like Forgotten realms, and Neverwinter. Theres no effort in the community or more importantly developmentally wise to match the game to the title.

Ahh, the ole D&D is what you make it..... theres some solid in that. Now i get that when referencing real ife, not so much for a rules based video game.
Then I can only suspect that you haven't played many f2p games. In the last year or so, I've run into a whole pile of games (both PC MMOs and mobile games, that are fantastically more blatant about it then this game.
You think the lockboxes dropping frequently - which isn't a demand that you open them all, but just making sure people have them if they want to - is an arm twist? How about a monthly "tiered spender" promo, that gives you prizes as you spend more money.... up to $1000+. A month. With a new contest every month. Now THAT is crazy cash grabbing.
Or a mobile card game I tried a couple months ago - periodically, they have a "mystery box" sale. There's like 100 cards in the loot chest - only one of which is the "super" six-star uber card. It's $9 per draw from the box, so people have figured out it takes $150-200 on average to get the main prize.... but to level it up to max level (so it's actually useful in pvp/etc), you need eight of them. So draw cards until you get it, reset the chest, draw cards until you get it again, reset again, etc..... $1500+ to get this one card. Oh, and these "mystery box" sales only last a few days, then they disappear - until a new one comes, with a new uber-card for people to try to get.
So, yeah.... entirely optional Neverwinter lockbox keys, that you can get with in-game currency, that you can buy the "best" prizes off the auction house if you'd rather not bother with random chance? Yes, it's an attempt to get some $. But it's nothing compared to a lot of the sleazy f2p stuff that's out there.
