Wow. Will there be no end to these D&D threads. The devs have said they are concentrating more on combat which is why every class is locked down so hard even the few choices you get in 4E aren't available. This is D&D pretty much in name only. Thats just the way it is.
-
No, its a tera clone cause it plays and looks a lot like tera. Tera has a bit more character customization and class customization. But I couldn't help but feel I was playing tera again. But it eliminates the best parts of D&D, choice. This game eliminates even the few choices 4E gave you I'm not a tera fan I hate WOW. EQ2…

Well if you actually compare Cryptic did drop a good bit of stuff to simplify it for their online game. Most those builds listed are only "suggested" once you actually play 4E you learn how to mix and match. Just came across a startup that looks kind of interesting. It's based off UO which is one game I never played but it…
-
I went out and bought the 4E players handbook and had a long talk with folks who play 4E. There are 2 camps I've come across, one think 4E sucks and WOTC should stay away from TSR titles like Gamma World and D&D cause they muck them up and already have swapped to pathfinder as it stays truer to D&D. The others still play…

This is a major misconception by people who don't know the game or don't bother learning it. I made a trip to my local comic book/game shop last afternoon/evening. Spoke with the folks all D&D gamers as well as had a chance to sit down with the rule books. After reading the players handbook and discussing it at length we…
-
Well other then quest and wander around what else was there to do.....LOL. Crafting may have distracted some but it isn't in yet. You want to give me a reward, put founder drow in for the last closed beta.
-
Beta launch was 2 beta weekends ago.
-
Well as to what I've been preaching you have the wrong idea. The classes you list above are "suggestions" given by the game designers as to possible hybrid classes. They are not the rule, just examples of what you can do. I'm talking about Cryptic completely taking away any choice. A 1st level cleric and on should have the…
-
Your logic is even more flawed. You jump to the assumption that he wants this game identical to 4E rules. When he and a lot of us just want it to be D&D. As this game is now it's more like duke nuke'm with a community. MMORPGs are about customization, of your character and your class. Cryptic locks you into one mold and…
-
Well to avoid the wall of text qouting. Could you link the hardcore formula? I'm probably considered hardcore but I'd like to check it out. As to role play online. I would say thats up to you, RP isn't about you and the computer it usually involves a live audience....ie, friends you play with, guildmates, people you…
-
That was one of the reasons I was so excited about this game being based off D&D. Stats figure into it but its not the end all be all they are in other games. D&D was very "customized" friendly, you had to remain within certain boundaries like weapon types useable and all but there were plenty of options to choose from in…
-
Well it's just not true. Hardcore gamers are the minority. But the point is moot, most people want to be able to have a say in their character customization and development, especially hardcore gamers. Min/maxers most definitely want a say, thats what makes them min/maxers.
-
Well without the customization this is not a D&D game. If you want to make Starcraft 3/duke nuke'm, lock the player into a cookie cutter mold kind of game you should not call it an MMORPG, you're talking more of a FPS so MMOFPS? So, folks who like games that come from like call of duty and that type of game love this. But…
-
I understand what you're saying but I think you belittle the point. Cryptic doesn't tell you how to play a little, you are locked in to the point of this being a FPS with grouping and community. I love Clerics, but you tell me I have to use this armor and not that, I can't choose a mace or weapon type, my spells are…
-
Really depends on how you play. I investigated everything looking for easter eggs and such. After 8 hours I was still 10th and really could have used a mount. Sure I investigate on foot but then the run back really kind of sucks.
-
I finally figured out what was bothering me about this game. I was expecting an MMORPG based on D&D but thats not what they gave us. D&D is all about customization, character AND class wise. Mages use the spells they find/buy/train, clerics pray for the spells they use. Fighters and rogues choose their weapons, every class…
-
Amen. And while you can say "it's just beta" anyone whose done years of betas will tell you, some things just don't change..>>EVER. Somethings it takes a lot of people beeching about to get it changed. So to you who say "bend over and take it" I say bugger off.
-
Have done cleric to 5th and control wizard to 5th. Control wizard was the easier of the 2. Honestly I don't like both classes having magic missile as the primary. Sure it looks different, but it's still just magic missile PS: Excuse me but I was wrong. After playing a little longer I would say cleric is easier.
-
Is there any references on this. Like I got guardian of faith and it said something a summoning something or other. But how do youtell what key it was bound to? nevermind
-
Well since I'm at work and then gym time I still have 3 hours.
-
So, what time does the beta start on friday?
-
seemed to be happening to me as well. Only had 2 arrays to pick from. I think they are just trying to minimize min/max characters.
-
OK, same issue with malwarebytes. Goes off constantly, what is your download trying to do? Downloaded game and finally played some sunday night just before beta went down. Went back tonight looking for the launcher and game on my system but don't see it anywhere. I can't find the .exe anywhere?
-
Saw another beta poster saying one of the starting races was drow. What is the difference between a drow and the founder reward drow?
-
How does the game play? For instance I didn't play much tera as I wasn't comfortable with it. But I have been doing Mechwarrior Online since closed beta and have gotten use to the WASD with my left hand and weapons on my mouse. Then I was reading they add the shift key, how many hands do you need to play?
-
That does help. Being someone who enjoys TT AD&D I don't want or need the pet classes. I know they have come to serve their own purpose and have even enjoyed some of them, loremaster in LOTRO.
-
How does this game compare to other sword and sorcey MMOs?
-
well I have the 200 bucks but I haven't seen enough of the game to really spend it. Controls sound like MWOs and I've gotten use to those but easier then hotbars....nope. I love the founders package and would buy the highest one but I need to see how the game plays. I learned my lesson with MWO where I was a legendary…
