My point is that this is not a symptom of a lack of desired features in the forum. It's actually a result of there not being a lot to discuss yet. The original post was about wanting more forum bells and whistles, not a criticism of how much about the game Cryptic is releasing to us. As to the original post's request, I…
I'm pretty sure "Human are" is incorrect. That's a a plural verb you're using there. The correct pluralization of "human" is to put an "s" on the end. As to "Drows," there are plenty of words that require no modification to pluralize them, like "fish." Unfortunately, nouns don't necessarily follow a uniform pluralization…
Is it just me or is it not the coolest thing ever that the people working on this game are into D&D enough that they can make the same kinds of pen and paper jokes I do? Man, Neverwinter is going to be awesome.
I suppose I should clarify what I mean by raids. That's a miscommunication on my part. What I mean to talk about is the kinds of world threatening, god-like opponents that raids (or whatever you want to call them) tend to be focused around, not the actual mechanic of 20-player fights (or insert whatever number you wish).…
If the game were out (or even humming along well into beta) I'd completely agree with you. At present it's not. From my perspective they appear to be a package deal. There are people in this very thread that have commented on how limited the community's activity is without more game information for us to discuss, so as…
No! Let's not. Look, one of those buggers woke up on the wrong side of the bed and it destroyed Neverwinter by accident. I don't want twenty-man raids aimed at putting him back to sleep. Give me epic fantasy, but not epic ridiculousness.
Maybe I'm the odd person out here, but I don't really care if the forum gets an update in a timely fashion. I feel like that's time and money better spent on the actual game still in development. This is a "cake and eat it too" thing.
I know pen and paper downtime is a different animal than video game down time, so certainly some of this gets lost in translation. When I first heard about this game, back when still online co-op, I imagined there being something like a "supply kit" resource. It would be cheap and found in every shop and even the…
I recommend the Wikia route since the CO and STO wikis are already there. IMO that keeps all the Cryptic stuff under one roof. I will say, however, that if those two games' wikis are any indication, keeping up with the Neverwinter wiki is going to be a big, damn undertaking, so if we do it I think we should do it right and…
Okay, here's my idea. Does the problem only happen on the specific URL "http://nw.perfectworld.com/"? I'm assuming so since you were able to post on the forum. I know it's annoying, but why not just avoid using that page entirely? I believe you can get to basically any subsection of that page from the menu at the very top…
Loved the implied story in the Siege of NW pt. 2 trailer. The first person perspective was a nice touch. Getting to see her kick <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> on top of it all was all the better.
This is pretty awesome stuff. If it really catches on I can imagine this being a built in part of monitors and laptop screens (heck, even TVs) as their UI. Anybody remember the movie Minority Report? It's the first thing I thought of when I saw this stuff. See what I mean here. In a more recent example, there was some of…
I'm a sucker for story-driven games. And I don't just mean games that happen to have a good story, but games that actually don't have much gameplay because there's so much in the story. If the tools work like I want them to (and I've got some experience in the STO Foundry) then I'll probably do stuuuuuuuupid amounts of…
I'm certainly glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks the forum related angst has gotten rather silly at this juncture. b:chuckle Moreover, while I do appreciate the effort that goes into these poll threads and agree that they are a good idea, I do wish that the questions had a great deal more objectivity in the…
Which would you rather Cryptic/PWE spend time and money on? 1.) Developing Neverwinter 2.) Talking about Neverwinter That's what all this boils down to. I choose the former over the latter. Any other complaints are auxiliary and/or superfluous at the end of the day if the game is terrible. As such, I'd rather time and…
That's not a failure. That's called planned obsolescence, and it's a perfectly common and acceptable business strategy. You'll see it in anything that's ever had a sequel or a series of iterations, though the name of the term can be potentially misleading since the obsolescence may be more opportunistic than planned…
