LOL u mad bro? Stop the insults please, I know you're better than that.

This is great! Now I have a reason to check up on NW every day instead of my addiction being my only excuse! *negative
-
Woohoo screenshot every week! I believe that was first suggested in these forums eh? :)
-
Is it just me, or is this whole post rather silly? You're giving life to rumors you heard from testers who are leaking information from an unfinished alpha product. I love music in MMOs too, and every Cryptic game has music. NW seems to be higher budget than previous Cryptic titles, so I find it hard to believe it will…
-
Still here, for the record.
-
The game actually does stand on its own as a way of exciting people. I've shown the various videos and articles floating around to friends and family, who were all blown away by it. I haven't found a trace of the negativity some on this forum seem to shovel in abundance... but that's why forums are such a low percentage of…

Totally agree! I hope players find satisfaction in exploring Foundry content as a big part of the endgame. You're always gonna hit a wall if character progression and gear are your only endgame goals, but the Foundry is a huge venue for quests of every type. If you've played a lot of STO Foundry content you've probably…

That's awesome, I hope that ends up being true! It appears from the outside that alpha is more for feedback and beta will be for stress testing and marketing. It's all semantics anyway though. As long as the testers are sending in feedback and the game is being improved because of it, we have nothing to worry about.
-
They keep the list of testers a secret for a very good reason that is plain for all to see here. We all inject emotion into every single action (or inaction) Cryptic takes. If they make a comment about an upcoming feature, every word in their post is considered an UNBREAKABLE PROMISE written in blood and notarized by…
-
Exactly. It's the quality of the testing, not the quantity of time tested that matters.
-
I haven't seen Stormshade on any Cryptic forum in a long time. Are we sure he still even works for PW?
-
Regardless of Cryptic's past, all they can do is try to be better developers in the future. Let's judge them by their games instead of villifying the real people who work endlessly to provide us with entertainment. Lessons can be learned and development studios can change, but personal attacks only harm that process.
-
GWF looks great, although I agree the spin attack animation looks a little silly. I like the idea of the power, but they should improve that animation. Still even if they don't, I know I will be playing one! :D
-
Fair enough. I just don't see how Cryptic could ever satisfy your needs on this issue. They could release a list of testers so we all know who's in and who's not, but then I'm sure that would be nitpicked to death. Speaking your mind is fine, but when you're being unreasonable you should expect it to be pointed out.

1. a. Three Classes: sword mage, ranger, warlock b. One Race: Dragonborn 2. Never got the article and don't have an interest in mounts or beta. I want to play the game when its done. 3. I'm an MMO fan because of my attraction to D&D. I've played every edition since 2nd. For MMOs, the ones I spent the most time in were WoW,…
-
I'm guessing it will still be in the first half of this year, and probably sooner rather than later. People shouldn't make assumptions about the NW beta process... it appears to be a different beast than we are used to dealing with in other games. In other words, I think this alpha might be a lot closer to beta level…
-
I don't think Cryptic owes anybody here beta access (unless they paid for it). And who's to say that the constructive, polite and helpful members of this community aren't already in alpha? They would be barred from saying that they were due to the NDA. There's really no way to accurately tell how "fair" Cryptic is being…
-
It should also be noted that new accounts have a probationary period so they can't make new introduction threads. That was the first place I went, and I still can't post. I'll be sure to properly introduce myself when I can :)
-
I'm not sure what your point is here, as this sentence contradicts itself. How does the companions in DDO being bad/annoying lead to people preferring them over groups? I would think it would do just the opposite. The only case I could see companions stopping me from joining a group is if they allowed me to get through…
-
Agreed. It's very telling how the "veterans" of this forum complain about it being dead for so long, then when there's a huge influx of new people they have a problem.
-
I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. MMOs do not mean forcing all players to group, they are merely a world full of other players, adding the opportunity to both group and go solo in a world populated by real people. Companions do not make grouping less attractive, they make solo combat more interesting. A good…
-
The bard class sounds interesting! Never played one in PnP, but from the looks of the combat we've seen in the class videos, the music part would need to be predetermined instead of played on the fly. I'm thinking like gem slots on your weapon that represent different instrument tracks which you can edit. A fully gemmed…

Hi all, longtime lurker first time poster. I think we should be looking at this in a positive light. Since the beginning of the year things have been slowly gaining traction. Devs are posting more (as opposed to not at all), some new press releases have gone out, and now they've publicly admitted to NW being in alpha…
