Week 1 of Neverwinter XB1 VS. PC.

Howdy all, and as you may know it's been about a week now since Neverwinter has been out. Yayyyy! The game is great! It feels much like the PC did, just better. The controller feels right, the gameplay is smooth, a few freezing and being kicked out while joining a skirmish, but overall a very smooth release.
I have a couple problems though. One slightly less major one will be the console MMO issue. It's really hard to socialize on consoles, which is not the games fault. I played DC Universe Online and it was extremely social. People were always talking. I'm not sure, maybe many XB1 owners don't have a cordless keyboard or don't want to download the Smartglass app on their phone. No biggy.
The other issue is the foundry. I know, they currently have little intentions of adding this AWESOME feature into the game. It is, however, a very fun aspect, that lets our creative energies flow. The devs could release it, they would just have to dumb it down and make it like Forge (Halo) for it to work. That is the main issue I have. I LOVED foundry on Neverwinter PC, and I think the XB1 players would get a kick out of it as well.
Please explain why you like or dislike Foundry or the idea of Foundry on the XB1.
There are very little bugs (that I've noticed) and it looks like the community loves the idea of Zen (look at Astral to Zen ratios friends). It's a **** near perfect first week (despite them doing this once already on PC)
Chat could be worked on, the amount of "players" receiving Drakes and Tokens spam me constantly, accidentally leaving the game due to trying to greed an item but I hit leave group, and a couple others, but it is still a fun experience

You can use it as a keyboard.
Took me forever to figure it out too, and I absolutely love its usefulness.

Yes, but the Foundry is meant for the community to make quests. If the XB1 gets PC community quests, that's a little unfair, no? I don't mean to be rude, but I'd rather play my friends quests than a random player off PC

True. However, people with those names won't be making the good Foundry missions the general population over 18 would play.
They could incorporate Zen into Foundry; Say, every player can have 3 Foundry missions published at a time, but you can purchase up to 10 with Zen. And use Zen to buy more objects, characters, etc. to place in your Foundry quest. You gain experience off Player generated content so many people would more than likely play it, especially at level 60 for a break off that dungeon grind.
My main issue of week 1 is the group disconnect problems my buddies and I have when in groups of 3 or more. I guess the servers fill up fast between areas, and it boots one of us when there is no more room in the server we're headed too. I dunno. Queues for the dungeons, not the skirmishes, take forever to get into. My Rogue will sit an hour at the least to queue up, while my buddy's Cleric will be in after a ten minute wait. I understand the DPS vs. Healer problem there, but it's not my fault they put so much DPS and so few Healer/Tank classes. Otherwise, I got four friends to join after telling them, so my guild can be started. :cool:
Find me on XBL to get an interview to join the guild.
Foundry is where players can create their own quests by using tools given to them which allow the player to creator dialogue, environments, and set attackable enemies.
Would also like to see gateway too.
