As stated in my OP I am all for a kind of "technical subforum". Players seeking help & advice for their Foundry projects would probably be more willing to make a few extra clicks - at least I would ;)
-
After reading through several pages of the Fpundry forums and sticky threads I come to the conclusion that the Foundry forums problem is the definition for use of the General forum. It's nobodys fault, it just happens sometimes that a forum has only two equally important general themes, in this case Foundry editing and…
-
It's not only having one's own thread on the first page much longer, it'd be also much easier to simply browse the threads for tips and tricks you didn't know about yet...
-
I plead guilty in this case ;) Unfortunately I never played the Talernon PW for NWN2 but I spent *lots* of adventerous weekends on Talernon NWN (wheren't there even 2 Talernon Versions for NWN?) The good old days *sigh*..... And I still can't let go NWN. Atm I am working on a hak that makes several modern/SF haks…
-
I would certainly post toolset questions in a tools discussion subforum because there my thread won't be buried under review requests within 24 hours ;)
-
Being part of the NWN/NWN2 vault community since 2005, my educated guess is, that more than 75% of the Foundry quests are done by people who have allready been modding NWN/NWN2 in the past ;)
-
I stopped reading after the first sentence cause you allready nailed it. No further explanation needed.
-
I can only speak for myself: I can not invest much time into NW atm, just log in about 3 times a day, sometimes a quiet evening for 5 hours, so I carefully have to balance my tasks to end on time and still be of some use. This has been hard enough with leadership and the nerf just added one more task not worth doing to the…

As far as I know, the Zen shop works perfectly. So what's to complain about ;) ;) ;)
-
When playing D&D with my buddies I am a very patient player. Pnp is slow, even a short combat takes about 10-15 minutes but it has always been worth it and always will. Regarding NW I am not as patient because my DM is doing everything on his own for a handfull of players while Cryptic has paid pros who know that 1000ds of…
-
I prefer open world but I have not expected one from NW since even my beloved NWN and NWN2 where mostly railroaded campaigns (with 2 notable exceptions). If I want an open world MMO (which I do), I simply have to wait for Elder Scrolls Online (which I do).

Please tell me, you don't mean the PvP enabling through the difficulty setting......
-
It might not be for the same reasons, but I can agree on that. If you like, we can take your quote as the closing words of our short discussion ^^
-
Interestingly enough - now you mentioned LotR- the MMO based on Tolkiens works, LOTRO, does a darn good job of catching the spirit of the books within the restrictions of an MMO. Critics as well as players overally give the game credit to that, I played it from beta over to a year of subscription myself and can only agree.…
-
Thats the point. As long as the publisher provides no PvP servers, its not a PvP game. As well as a game is not automatically a PvP game by design just because players set up arena servers with their very own rules, classes, equipment etc. Because you can do that with about any game. Besides, the wikipedia entries for…
-
You called Neverwinter "a rather fun fantasy MMO" If that is not a generic description, what is? And still my question remains unanswered: When I do play D&D with my buddies every Saturday, does that mean I have no right to expect a D&D experience from a D&D MMO? Tell me please ;) PS: There is actually a Neverwinter…
-
I am by no means a valiant defender of NW but I miss the Foundry on your list. Give it a try - not for AD, just for fun. If you are guilded, do the group dungeons with some pals or even have some of you create a group mission for the others to play. When I was playing EQ back then, I took MMOs a lot more serious than now…
-
Well, I do play D&D with my buddies every Saturday, but does that mean I have no right to expect a D&D experience from a D&D MMO? For you its either D&D OR a generic MMO? How tame is that? Well if it suits you.....ok ...but don't expect to become famous on facebook with that slogan :D
-
You can do all that with every game, including shooters - and some people even do. So that is no valid argument. You could sit in front of the black screen and close your eyes if imagination is all you need. Why play a game at all then??? I do. Every Saturday from 3 pm to dawn. Done that for over 30 years now with D&D…
-
Well, if the game fails, then Cryptic will probably wish they had considered backing out of the license under these conditions ;)
-
Then Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout3, Fallout:NW, every single shooter and.....wait.... ....ok, now I got it - nearly ALL games are then PvP games by design. Including p.e. chess, backgammon and checkers, after all the're all about winning over another player. So why the hell are the guys from the chess club getting…
-
Well, better for Cryptic then, they can put all the blame on Atari, PWE and WoTC for these decisions if the game fails. Until then they can only send daily screenshots of the forums and ingame chatlogs to those 3 ;)
-
It's such a pity, the old man is not around anymore to tell us what he thinks about NW....
-
Judging by the CTDs I get every 10-30 minutes (while running on recommended settings), the population must have tripled since last week....
-
Lets say I give in on your point of "It never said anything about using D&D rules for it's mechanics". Let's put aside the other people, who quote other sources saying it's oficially D&D rules 4e But you quoted the FAQ saying: "Epic stories, action combat and classic roleplaying" so..... ......are you freaking kidding…
-
The main problem is that NW is based on a different edition, 4e than its SP precedessors NWN and NWN 2. That alone confuses (or in some cases angers) the players who had expected or hoped for some kind of NWN 3 MMO. In addition D&D 4e is - although several years old - not generally accepted in the pnp community. Some love…
-
Player-run servers only that host from as low as 8 to a maximum of 32 players, I played myself on "Bastions of War" quite some time ago. If all PvP comes from player-run servers with player-created maps, player-created rulesets and player-created equipment that harldy makes the game on which it's based a PvP game by…
-
Go get it, hon-ey ;) For me its definitely not worth it but that doesn't mean it's generally a waste of money. Depends on how important NW is to you.
-
Since NWN and NWN2 where single player games I cannot see the PvP unless you refer to playing team battles on a player-made shard with a max of 32 players And following your logic, anyone could bring out a Warhammer Clone PC game and call it "full D&D" just because TSR published the Battle System back from 1985 to 1991.…

Maybe it'll be the other way round and one day for casual players there will only be single player games or simulations like "my little dragon hatchery". Who knows?
