  • Thank you Cryptic / PW. This could have been worse and you made a hard choice and get a lot of flak because of that. I see a lot of people who are already complaining because of the 7 hour rollback. Imagine what a ****storm would rage through this forum if you would do a full character wipe... :rolleyes: Keep up the good…
  • Why should I quit? I love the game and have a lot of fun. Am I a fanboy because I have fun while everyone else says that I can't have fun because the game is pay2win and Perfect World is horrible and all that? ;) I think you can add me to the list, too. But keep the kitty, I'm no fan of cats :D.
  • And another test, now with an actual signature... I hope. :D
  • Test of my Signature and Avatar.
  • That should be Ordulin.
  • Matron Mother Zeerith Q'Xorlarrin?
  • The same mechanic is up and running in Star Trek Online for quite a while now. I actually have gathered Dilithium (which is the Astral Diamond equivalent in STO) to get enough Zen to buy one of the Store-Ships. You certainly don't need to sacriface your real life do do that. All it takes is some patience. I was really…
  • Not only the movement animations look bad... The idle stance looks like the wizard is specialized in the magic school of proctomancy.
  • I think PvP makes no sense in a game that is heavily centered around PvE content. The problem is that the developers won't sacrifice a lot of their precious time and money on it. Therefore most PvE games only have very basic PvP. The PvP players get bored very fast by it and move on and in the end a lot of resources have…
  • What is your definition of "pay to win"? In general Neverwinter isn't planned to be a "pay to win" game in which you can directly buy high-level gear with money (or something similar that directly boosts your character) and if you could, there would be a way to obtain that gear (or whatever it is) through gameplay. Of…
  • 1. It is a bad move. They are already alianating part of their playerbase before the game is even released. 2.(a) I bought a Gurdian of Neverwinter pack. 2.(b) I was going to buy a Hero of Neverwinter pack but something else came up that has priority at the moment. 2.(c) The drow issue has noting to do with my decision to…
  • At the moment I'm planning to start with the Control Wizard at launch.
  • I've bought the Guardian of the North Pack and therefore was in the first beta weekend. I bought it because I like the armored horse and the dire wolf also seemed nice. I also wanted to support Cryptic because I like their games and I'm a great D&D and Forgotten realms fan. I was impressed by the beta so I'm actually going…
  • I think you are right prootwaddle. I've also seen a lot of people who are obviously Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2 fans. I think the name Neverwinter alone has gathered a lot of those people here. And they are expecting a very different game than Neverwinter actually will be. This creates a lot of confusion…
  • How about shields with deity symbols on them for guardian fighters to show their faith?
  • Ah, I haven't realised that there is a whole sourcebook for Menzoberranzan. That's even better :). I should get this too.
  • Why is this such a big issue for many? Actually you don't feel very grounded, even with this mechanic in place. If you have to block or dodge, your combat action is interrupted immediately und you can get away at once so you don't actually feel "rooted in place". Because of the "rooted" mechanic combat don't feels too…
  • Okay, I got what you are trying to say. Sorry that I was a bit harsh, sometimes... yeah... :). Maybe look at my last post above yours. I tried to write a bit more about my personal perspective. As I have understood, you are still going to play Neverwinter even though it isn't what you were expecting? Or won't you play the…
  • I wouldn't pay just for access to the beta. I bought my Guardian Pack (and also plan to buy the Hero of the North Pack) because of the exclusive items. The beta is just a nice bonus.
  • Okay, where do we stand so far? :) Why is this game not D&D? - the mechanics are handled very different - real time action combat instead of round based combat - it lacks the depht of the real D&D (e.g. character/class customization) Why is this game D&D? - Wizards of the Coast say so - it plays in an official D&D campaign…
  • Oh, most of us don't "defend" the game blindly. You know, we have already played it and many of us like what we have seen :). And to whom I have to convince that this is a D&D game? Yeah, you are right. I have just to convince me and for me this is a D&D game as I already said. I also can understand why other people may…
  • Yeah, this thread is really funny so far. The most funny part is that even if Cryptic had made this game more in line with D&D mechanics, they still would scream that this is not D&D :). It' also funny how they use that statement to make it look like the whole game will fail just because of the "fact" that "this isn't…
  • You can also read the "War of the Spider Queen" novels (Wikipedia-Link) which are even more detailed because they are entirely about the drow. The Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide has a short description of the Menzoberranzan of today.
  • I can understand both sides here. For everyone D&D is defined by different things. So for some people this game is D&D and for other it isn't. For me the games is D&D because for me personally D&D is more defined through the campaign settings, the general background and some iconic elements. I think those things are there.…
  • Good work :). I like your video very much, didn't know that Neverwinter has such nice tools for recording videos.
  • Ah, that explains it. Good to know, they should make this more clear :).
  • For me the most wanted races and classes are... Races: Gnome Eladrin Deva Classes: Bard Warlord Artificer :)
  • They paid for the Starter Kit which doesn't include beta access. They are getting exactly the benefit they paid for which is the amulet of protection, the small bag of holding and one adventurer's helper pack. I bought the guardian pack and I'm also not complaining that I won't get the panther companion or renegade drow.…
  • The stat bonuses the races get don't make a big difference in the long run in 4th edition. Just take the race that you like the most and combine it with the class you want to play :).
  • Yes, of course. Didn't thought of that. I knew I forgot something in my post :D.
