Hey,
just wanted to ask for some opinions/arguments why people either stick with Neverwinter or swap over to ESO when it launches June 9 (hopefully?). I'll be sticking with Neverwinter.

will play both, but will spend a lot more time on eso as its a much better game (in my opinion). BTP>FTP.
i will log on here still most days, do a few dung runs with my guild and dailys but that will be it, not gonna bust a gut or anything.
I will continue to play Neverwinter because after I heard PC players can transfer their max level characters over to the Xbox I completely dropped the idea of getting that game.
If we could all start out equal and at level 1 then I would definitely play ESO but to be a huge disadvantage (years?) like that I refuse to buy that game.
.Suicide Squad.
So I figure, oh well. Go to dungeons, where I usually place 1-2 in DPS. PvE is my bread n butter. So now, I have been bent over in pvp, and constantly getting kicked from groups. Even a dungeon for level 58 I can't join.
My issue with this game, is it seems to punish people, very quickly. Making it harder, so much harder to even get gear.
This has been my Neverwinter experience the past 3 days. 3 DAYS of doing nothing. Sure, there probably are 100 other things I could be doing to help myself out. But nothing has prompted me in game that I noticed. Still not sure how professions work 100% even though my three I work on are level 7. So sure as HAMSTER can't make anything. AH is a joke unless you feel like looking up every item by name, and as a new player I have not one idea what gear to look for. If only I could scroll through a list, my level, that people were selling, in a WORKING AH....
I had so much fun leveling and questing. I praised this game and realize now my mistakes.
This game is very Guild Oriented, which I have said in the past. I just didn't realize the extent as I was pre 60. Now at 60, I'm stuck with level 52-56 items. A gear score that gets me kicked faster then I can join a game. A need to join a guild I didn't want(when I join a guild, I want it to be out of interest, not necessity).
In less words, I'm getting ESO. At least there end game is present for new players as well as experienced. From the beta I played, it felt like alot more structure. Neverwinter has left a bad taste in my mouth as I love it, but cannot even fully experience it. ESO seems far more logical.
As lacking as Destiny was in any endgame capacity, I can still at least join a match without getting kicked, or join a PvP and actually see what is killing me/have time to react instead of getting 1 hit nuked.
We had max levels in Neverwinter after two days. These are MMOs, you'll be playing them six months from now, some people will be playing six years from now, two days isn't a factor.
ESO has a very good over arching story line, it can be hit or miss for zone story lines, but some side quests alone are worth every line written in Neverwinter.
The PvP completely blows Neverwinter out of the water, there is just no comparison, and if you think you are "not a PvP guy" then you are about to be. Hate getting ganked, not good a twitch combat? OK, here, man this TREBUCHET!
I really like the way each company approached classes, very different, but both are fun. I actually prefer combat in Neverwinter, I love sliding around going nuts on my cleric, but that is about the only thing I prefer over ESO.
All in all I wouldn't look at either game as a long term sink my entire life into it MMO. The are both just pretty good games that will keep you happy a bit longer than your average RPG, but that you will put aside for the new hotness next year.
1) Yeah, it was just you, AND the enemy GS, AND a number of other things. Chances are you got matched up against a pre-made, which is likely. You are a FRESH level 60 you said? So you're not wearing level 60 gear, nor are you wearing PVP gear so your Tenancity is what? 0? No sh** you're dying so quickly... Win or lose you will gain Glory and from there you continue to build Glory then buy PvP gear.
2) You answered yourself on this one, see #4.
3) Are you kidding me? It's 2015 and you have never heard of Google? Seriously... Type in "Build for "X" in Neverwinter" and you will find out what gear you should be looking for. (Where X is, type in your class...)
4) Yes, this game can be Guild oriented at the end-game which is perfectly fine, just find a guild that has enough players and they run dungeons then you won't be kicked anymore. PROBLEM SOLVED. Also, run pre-mades with that guild or makes friends and run pre-mades using the MICROPHONE provided with your Xbox. You'll see a huge difference in strategy and your score.
Soooo much this ^^^. ESO is visually stunning compared to the 15 year old NWO engine.
...and I loooooove having siege weapons and destructible keeps and LARGE scale Realm vs Realm.
Sure, it's got some RvR lag issues at the moment with zerg balls of 20 players spam casting, but they at least fix their bugs.
AND no Zen spam announcements glaring in the middle of the screen every 15 seconds. :mad:
The ONLY thing Neverwinter has that ESO doesn't is Foundry.
Encounter Matrix | Advanced Foundry Topics
And Tamriel continent is very limited (1 common area,3 individual areas).....
Not a game for me.
(Might just play a bit of beta,just to visit the small area of Morrowind)....
You would of have to sign for it on the official site. Not everyone gets in though as it was based on random selection.
Anyway, enough of that, I will drop Neverwinter much the same way. I am IRL a real knight (seriously, have an armory) and learning ESO is coming to console at a buy once… Amazing. First thing on the list: Lay siege to a castle in chaotic medieval warfare as I take part in IRL (but without the explosions and death, lol). I am so psyched it's not funny… Hoping I get a beta invite, seeing I signed up for the console one a year ago, lol.
Without performance fixes and an improved group finder this game is going to suffer especially since more and more folks hit level cap and get terrorized in the dungeon kick loop.
Seriously though, both games are AWESOME. Love the world of Elder Scrolls and love Neverwinter. In fact,
OFFTOPIC- If anybody is interested in joining a guild that will be a part of BOTH Neverwinter AND Elder Scrolls Online check out our forum and sign up. http://roguesgallery.enjin.com/forum#
We have around 65 members and we are a pretty close group of people. Use party chat, help whoever needs it, dungeons... If it's PvE we do it.
ON TOPIC: I'll be playing both.
Finally, someone will be in the same boat as me! I'll definitely be signing up!
You buy the game for 60 then its free to play after that
