Hey all,
My question here is, what do you think about Neverwinter in general. Do you feel free while playing, or you feel being forced to follow the "heard" and cannot take certain paths/decision because they are simply non-existant/very penalizing? (In-game).
What do you think about the in-game rules? Any suggestions to improve them?
Thanks all,
Almondum.

If so, that is a symptom that plagues every game wherein competition is important
I mean everything, the game rules in general, the builds, how you play. Neverwinter in General - everything about it, and everywhere.
I think endgame PVE is lackluster at the moment due to BOP loots and boons. There is little reason to farm dungeons right now. This is very concerning since Neverwinter is primarily a PVE game.
PVP could use a few more game modes, but the open world pvp is a good start. For class balance, just read around. It isn't perfectly balanced at the moment to say the least.
All in all, module 3 is a good sign of things to come whether it be large scale heroic encounters that could lead to raids in the future or open world pvp that could lead to more pvp modes in the future.

It's such a shame, since there are plenty of possibilities of how to build a character. Yet all we see these days are cheesy / easy mode specs. The sad part is, if one does not agree with what the herd says, they are usually not hesitant to label one as a bad gamer... even if you smack them on the head with hard evidence and numbers. (even if they are wrong and oneself is right)
Neverwinter was alot more fun back on beta/live, all classes was usable, TR's was the most dps class wich i realy think is wrong, CW's was usefull on both pvp/e, all skills used to work better, we did see ppl with diff builds, now it'll clones, and it was cheaper to play aswell. so my opinion is neverwinter is headed to it's ruin.
Right now for example its being a week since I can't play because I have "server not responding" and another thousand of conections issues, anyway, when it works, its a really fun game...
Saying "don't discuss forum moderation or this thread will be locked" is actually one of the faster ways to get your thread moderated.
It's not necessary to point that out. If moderation discussion is the primary focus of the thread, then yes, it gets closed because of section V. Sorry, but we do require that those sorts of discussions be left to PMs as moderation is a matter of privacy.
However, if a post or two is discussing moderation, we can just clip that part out without closing down the entire thread.
Bottom line, though, please don't make comments about moderation publicly. We have the PM system for that.
As usual, please don't respond or reply to this notice, but use the PM system to address your concerns. Thanks for your understanding.

. . . D&D is not about competition or being the best, it is about imagination, adventure, and role-playing. I play to have fun and adventure, not to be the best so I suppose that makes it much easier for me to enjoy my characters for what they really are; imaginatively designed characters inspired by Forgotten Realms lore and history.
. . . My main character is designed with Lightning for his preferred spells and Neverwinter really has allowed me to do such. I then have a wizard that is going pure Arcane (no Ice) and another that is a mix of Fire and Ice, as she is an elementalist.
. . . I further design my characters around the Deity they worship as well as import their backstories from my Paper and Pencil Campaign. All but one of my characters is actually a self-created NPC in my 20-year ongoing Forgotten Realms Campaign.
. . . Besides, the game almost only a year old. It has more to offer than most MMOs at this point in their development.

I have created my character as I wished from level one.
My class is trickster rogue-master infiltrator -saboteur.
NOTHING was forced on me.
I enjoy the in game rules but would like to see game moderators in game while playing from time to time.
I think the only modification needed would be in regards to the party kick system and party loot system.. It does not work with random ques

I wish they had a larger development team to not only release new classes more often but also new paragon paths for existing classes , also I wish the game had a large team balancing the classes , in fact I'd like to see a whole overhaul of everything class and race wise to freshen things up , yes we can dream xD
BoP is a stupid concept and always has been. Its an artificial concept to extend grind and content without actually making decent long term content. It stifles game economies. I would love to see a game that has NOTHING that is BoP. No holds barred. Want to see a real economy.
Yeah nerfing rogue's primary single target daily, to less damage then their circle of blades aoe (or whatever its called), was a move of pure um,.. Ill let you insert the proper word.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I am pretty much in the same boat as you.
Other than that, because I'm still leveling, I don't feel pressured to conform to cookie cutter builds. Maybe that will change when I hit 60, I don't know.
The rest still up-and-coming!
I liked playing my rogue bot PvP and PvE. But the recent meta forces me to roll either permastealth halfling (ffs, strong apathy for this race) for PvP or another class for PvE.
Tbh I'd rather uninstal the game than roll that butterfingered <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> fighter class (oh yeah I hate GWF this much) or create a mage. 2nd requires some skill to play though but the thing is I just can't stand mages in general...
Nevertheless, I still do enjoy the game. In some odd unusual way.
WTB Class Reroll please
Many classes are missing, races are missing, the foundry is lackluster but a great idea and the AD to Zen exchange is a bust. Oh it is still limping along but I doubt we will ever see it function like it did in the past. I get the feeling that there will be no more new classes, at least for the time being which means this is not really D&D, just has its name attached to it.
Now I love the combat in this game, its one thing I feel they got right. But it lacks the soul of what makes D&D great.
Will this game ever be completed before they turn the servers off? I'm not sure, the current development patterns leave me to believe this will not be the case. Although I sure do hope I am wrong. But I will have my fun until such happens or until the next D&D labelled MMO takes its place. Time will tell.
Don't lose hope just yet , module 4 is literally just around the corner and should begin testing on preview within the next month or so and we should be getting a new class with module 4 ,probably Scourge Warlock . As for existing classes CW , GWF and GF are getting some big changes too for module 4.
As for builds yes it's completely not open. Maybe HR has a choice between various builds of similar efficiency but different gameplay. But that's the one and only class with such a choice. TR? Perma, period. Fighter? Iron vanguard, period. Fire mage? Funnily enough none of the spells on your bar will be a fire spell, except maybe FF on Tab.
Same goes for gear. CW? High Vizier. DC? High prophet. Gwf? AoW.
Companion? That'sd maybe the less open of all: Augment, period.
In theory there are many sets and companions and enchants and feats and paragons but in practice all of them fail but one, and we players are all clones, only the gs being different.
Yes, I've mained a TR since closed beta and am still mostly on it when I'm playing. And for as long as I've been here, I've never succumbed to peer pressure to go perma-stealth, though I've had to constantly respec due to changes seemingly every time I returned to the game to make my TR viable again, but at least I still do it my own way.
Roleplayers are completely neglected sure you can roleplay, but it would be nice if it was encouraged, or even were someone to roleplay well reward it so we see more of it.
I know they will look into cw and gf. Nowhere I read about gwf. They also recently stated that gwf are exactly where they want them to be damage wise (go figure)
He said it on his Twitter channel , oddly he seems to say a lot more on Twitter than he does on the actual official forums , changes to the HR too .

Also he said we COULD start seeing the changes on preview within the next 2 weeks and that was on the 5th of June so maybe we could start getting module 4 stuff this week or next week :O

I rolled a TR first, then a DC. Both are 15k now, its great.
Questing was ok, some maps are so beautiful. I enjoy everything with my guild now.
But, like someone said before, i feel like its a good game with "bad" dev team ( they are not enough for all that work ? ). More i play and understand the game, more i think that. I feel less and less "free to have fun", especially about classes balance ( i like to min/max my character ).
I never understood how could they introduced so many bugs while they wanted to do something else ( ie invisible walls in dungeons etc). And they need a so long time to fix them ( like astral shield + linked spirit..One day maybe ? lol ). So, I was thinking recently, maybe, some of these bugs "in waiting to fix" were deliberate. I dislike to think that but its what they show us !
Tooltips of skills/feat/boons are horrible, they lack a lot informations. I always hated that. And many feats/skills are useless
These are so many things they could do, the game would be so much better ! I want that ! But it seems they cant do ( dont want to ) that.
I really wish it was like you said, but it does not work. If I don't use the most accepted build/sets, people don't want me, and I can't join random teams. I also wish this game had more D&D, it lacks D&D. For example: I would be cool to die from a trap, or to solve puzzles with a chance for a special rare reward.
I hope Module 4 will bring us that.
