The dirty trick is that you are paying $45 for a $10 meal. If they sold the Dragonborn seperately for reasonable prices of $10-$20 that would be one thing, but instead they force you to buy this huge package for 5x the cost of that single item you want. Also no way does does the package amount to $100, The founders packs…

Races ARE conent so quite trying to make excuses for the ****ty shady practices Cryptic is doing. Race is an extreme grey area but Cryptic made it blatenly clear that the store will only be purely cosmetic and vanity items and that is clearly not what races are catogrized as. They have stats bouses, have abilitiy…
-
No, they clearly indicated in the early pre-launch and early launch posts, interviews, what have you that classes and races were not going to be store items exclusive and that the store will only be cosmetic/vanity items only. Races ARE NOT cosmetic or vanity, they are crucial and central mechanics to builds. THAT is NOT a…
-
So whatever happened to the head dev at a Neverwinter game demo that content and races will be 100% free and store will be purely for vanity reasons? Once again marketing based on lies. If only the world was just and someone took this to court where the liers lose. Yeah... free to play but pay to enjoy.
-
You are missing the point that this game was marketing and geared towards D&D players. When the game itself is a complete MMO bastardization and destroyed anything D&D related. The only exception is the lore as that is bout the only thing D&D in this game. The entire marketing scheme completely deceived the audience that…
-
They also said that for races.... which we are already seeing paid races. And for content which we are already seeing content you have to pay to unlock (quests or something). Somehow I think they are gonna make it you have to pay classes. Like to unlock additional paragon paths you have to pay for it.
-
Or people are calling Cryptic how one the time and time again promise that content will be 100% free. However, there will be the blind fanboism. There always is.
-
Wow....... STILL no drow? They sure are living up to their promise on timely additions of classes and of the drow, which was the race they played in one of their earliest gameplay demos. They have the models and everything, reeks of a promotion delivery.
-
This game is as much as D&D as Demon Stone or Baldur's Gate" Dark Alliance are D&D. They have the lore and class names but that's where it ends as everything from feats to combat to abilties are completely thrown out the window and an MMO bastardization is done.
-
Let's say for arguments sake that there is 2 million people n lets go with half of that and say thats peak time. If the max in an instance is 150 the game would need 6,666 instances, that would be 2,222 instances per server. That is ommitting that public zones are not where near that high. No way in hell would it ever be…
-
2 million players my ***. 2 million accounts maybe but like others have said what about all the botters or how bout all the accounts that are not longer active since the soft launch? And why is it all the quotes in the trailer with the exception of MMORPG.com from people I've never heard of or how they are just the little…
-
The question is do they actually make an honest attempt to fix known bugs/exploits/issues. Sure they test but numerous bugs/exploits/ect ect still make it to like even though numerous times the issue has been brought up or how this issues was present in previous titles.
-
Except for the fact that in numerous articles, interviews, whatever they specifically stated that races will be free along with classes since they view all of it as content and the whole idealology behind NW is 100% free content. When they lie that raises red flags. Also it is pure greed when the only way to purchase said…
-
Anyone with half a brain who actually watched interviews could have told you this months ago. Raids were going to be a public area where multiple groups needed to take down a boss but it won't be an instanced raid. Gauntletgrym is what you got. If you're wanting WoW's gear progression model look elsewhere because your…
-
I give you a month if that before your bored to death and post a "Screw Neverwinter" thread. WoW IS the best MMO out there no ifs ands or buts about it. It has set the stage for all MMOs to the point of stagnation. Neverwinter is just another typical Cryptic product, nothing at all special nor to trump one's toot about.…
-
Really any stat can gain combat advantage, what it should makes sense is make it reasonable for the class. Like cha or str giving a Wizzy a combat advantage is just <removed>. But yeah... cha on a fighter or combat advantage is pretty <removed>. But then again, there are so many <removed> decisions with designing this game…
-
Maybe you should actually read that post you quoted. 20 days is ridiculous, hell anything beyond 72 hours is ridiculous. CS are intentionally ignoring tickets for chargeback requests. Hell coincidentally when I informed then I will be pursuing my bank for chargeback they responded within a day. Not to mention they are…
-
Didn't know that Daggerfall was gonna be a trilogy, guess should be thankful it never made that far from apparent reviews. Still though, are you sure that it was the reviews and not the fact that Hasbro took Atari to court and got the D&D digital license revoked or whatever? I would think that the legal suit would be more…
-
No game will ever truely make a direct translation of D&D but for the most part DDO was pretty **** close. They did do some deviations which is expected but all in all they stayed as close as possible... unlike a complete disregard like in Neverwinter. DDO blows Neverwinter completely out of the water with which game…
-
Except you left out the part that FF tatics and all those games were NEVER advertised as being what the core FF series were all about unlike Neverwinter. Neverwinter WAS advertised as providing a true D&D experiance and the FOR fans of D&D (which if for D&D fans is a watered down pos game that only resembles the IP in skin…
-
DDO is proof alone that a real time MMO CAN be similar to D&D. They have a lot of core mechanics (traps, feats, rogue skills, swimming even though highly underutilized or trivilialized) and feel through their excellent quest DM narrations. But DDO is a dated engine that needs a serious reboot and if they ever do make a…
-
You ****ting me? DDO is TONS better than NW in giving the D&D vibe/feel/whatever. While it has lately been deviating a lot more with the new enhancement system which makes it feel more like a traditional MMO but it still has a lot of D&D aspects that Cryptic shat on. Feat, traps, multi-classing, weapons, itemization,…
-
Yes because a poll will be COMPLETELY UNBIASED in the forums where only the fans visit or would bother with a poll. Well Cryptic will most definate get the ****acular award for the launch of their game. And don't try saying "But it's still beta." It's not, they take money, not doing a wipe, and are denying refunds... those…
-
I have to ask; does a company that takes it's customers money and offers no refunds not make you realize that this IS a soft launch and calling it a "beta" is laughable at best and that the company is only putting a "beta" label on it to avoid legal complications?
-
Yeah you don't have to spent one cent... but it's gonna make the game a 2nd job. Even for the most basic of commodities that all other MMOs incorperate as part of the games features (by features I mean like professions or a reward one can earn). WoW deviated from that for a reason, people don't like it. People enjoying the…
-
The game is getting the EXACT credit it is due as reviewers are demonstrating and the comment response are in general agreement with. Cryptic really ****ed the game up and just made it into another Asian F2P cash shop generic MMO, this could solely be because of PWI and what many were worried about when the news came out…
-
Maybe because Cryptic countless times trumpeted that it is not a P2W game when in reality it is or how incredibly grindy it is. Other games have character progression and gear, true, but people do it do the fun of raiding and challenge both of which is absent in NW. Dailies were never a largely popular concept as it got…
-
Actually they're are **** TONS of advertisement of Neverwinter on the site. The review is fair, sorry if your precious MMO got held up to a proper light but read the comments. Almost across the board is agreement to the scoring for the most part, while there is a trend of a slightly lower scoring. Also two other reviews…
-
Or you never bothered to look at how many instances are running. The game is instanced based so a 100% or 40% pop will feel the same unless one bothers to moniter how many instances are running. XFire is showing a 25-50% decrease in playtime. The telltale signs of people leaving.
-
Cryptic has always had ATROCIOUS PR work with Neverwinter. Andre can tell you all bout that.
