How do you access the foundry, to create your dungeon? I played in the last closed beta up to lvl 16 I think and I never found the option to do that.

I tried game for few minutes. I don't like RPG system in this game... I don't like that priest can only use holy symbols as weapon. Are all classes stuck with weapon types ?

Main stat are pointless... for example intelligence on level 20 give 10% damage, 18 give 8%...

I don't know how i't is too new AD&D system but i don't like it. I looks like there is not much freedom in how you develop your character.

I don't think this has much common with D&D (not that I know much about 4e) mechanics-wise.

The basic gameplay isn't too bad, worth a try I suppose if you're into these sorts of games. From what I hear and have seen so far, buying stuff with real money is limited to convenience and bragging rights (check out the gigolo outfit Laughing), there's no pay-to-win element to it.

This game has nothing to do with d&d, it puzzles me why they used the franchise, I think it will only cost them players.
The game is a good 3th person action rpg though. Good for 20 hours of fun. I doubt it is good from a mmo point of view, but who cares, it is free.

^ Most likely because it was available and because the brand recognition will pull in some more interest, initially at least. I think most D&D fans'll quickly drop this game in disgust, though. Laughing

This game's system is copied from WoW , its not D&D (not even 4th edition). Its named Neverwinter because its set in that world and it's pretty much the only thing the game has in common with Neverwinter series.
Imo, its an shallow, generic crap - uninstalled already. I don't see fans of D&D playing, enjoying this game.

That sucks, $1,25 for an item. This is what I hate about f2p games, at some point you're almost forced to pay. I don't mind paying money for a game, but not for stupid items.
I think the best buisness model for an mmo is the guild wars one, pay for a game and buy extra stuff i've you like.
You can buy a key from other players for ingame money though.

Edit:
After visiting the auction market:
You're epic "nightmare box" is essentialy pay for items.
a box is about 500 diamonds, a key 50.000.

That's why I stopped playing the closed beta; the game is absolutely riddled with pay-for disease. Sure you can hack and slash and play for free, but you'll run face first into a pay-wall before long, especially with the pathetic price of ID scrolls. They used to cost 800 diamonds and you could *only* get them in (insultingly rare) mob drops or from the Astral Store. You'd get a handful of scrolls every 5th level, but for a game built around loot and having almost every item drop unidentified? Disgusting.

So yeah.. either trash everything you find or sell it for a "glorious" whole copper piece, because you'll pay more than a monthly premium cost just on ID scrolls alone, let alone the new scumbag trick of keys for locked Epic boxes. GG.

I've spent the last 2 days, probably about 20 hours in total, in the Foundry (quest editor).

All I've got to show for it is a whorehouse (glorious though it may be) chock full of dialog trees and plot - all that's left is to create the actual dungeon that stems off it. Sure hope I have enough willpower to spend the three or so more days it'll take me to finish it.


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

been playing for a couple of days and yeah the "pay to play bitch" comes around lvl 25 , removing and attaching gems to gear starts costing about 10k AD each... pretty high for being able to get 24k per day

ofc i can buy zen and sell for AD :facepalmwtfbbq

game is pretty fun and well made, its light entertainment.

its the f2p model they have that sucks, or i wouldnt even call it f2p, people keep defending it tho, wich i really dont understand

example just getting another bag takes roughly 40 days of farming crystals to afford buying it from the zen shop, wich is the only place its sold. there are drops but at higher level and extremely rare (none on my shard AH yet)

sure it CAN be done in 40 days , or you just cough up 9.99e it costs to buy the bag

Y compared to F2P (or B2P) MMOs like Tera,TSW or even GW2 this is a bad Joke, the Game isnt even very fun you just run trough one linear corridor instance after the other,
the Foundry is almost the only redeeming feature this game has.

Meh, the thing that stops me from playing is that i just cant make my character to look good on creation o.O lulz

It wasn't much of a problem in STO and Champions Online despite the same engine and the ugly models - because the tailor npc was free to use and i could always tweak my character..

And then Perfect World took over, and made everything in Neverwinter cash shop based -.-

They fixed that now. Scroll drops are much more common than they were, you also get them from some chests and stuff. The prices are heavily reduced as well. It costs 125 Astral Diamonds to get one of the highest tier ID scrolls. Now 125 may seem much at first, but for example in about an hour of fun questing at level 12, I managed to get 2700 Astral Diamonds. So the ID scroll thing seems to be a lot better now.

I played a bit and it seems okay. Will probably play more over the weekend.

Prices are ridiculous though. But that's one thing they can easily change as people start complaining. Hopefully they listen.

I see they've increased the AD generation then, because in an hour of questing (at lv11) I'd be lucky to get 50 AD back in the closed beta >_< Thanks for the update h4wkeye Smile

No problem bud. Just doing the daily quest for the lowest level (level 10) gives you 1000 AD now. Plus you get a bit here and there from various other stuff and events. Also prices on certain items and AD to ZEN exchange rates are really really inflated at the moment, so it's best not to touch that for now. I'm sure they'll drop quite a lot later once the economy stabilizes.

Edit: Also, a very useful site. http://gateway.playneverwinter.com You can check and send your mail there, sell and buy on the AH, collect the AD from sold AH items, manage your professions (craft stuff via browser and pick it up too without logging into the game at all, very useful) and access guild stuff. You can also see your char stats and gear he/she has equipped.

I'm having quite a bit of fun with this. Game systems are solid and class mechanics actually seem to be a good deal more complicated than I initially thought. Control Wizard is a ton of fun - throwing people around, slowing them, freezing, stunning, hanging in the air and what not. Can't see how can it possibly be balanced for PvP, though. The Foundry is a nice idea too - already played some pretty good adventures and I guess it's only going to get better when people start to master the tools given to them. Even for that alone, it may make a pretty good pseudo-co-op game with a bunch of friends.

Downsides include too simple dungeons, some weird animations and of course - P2W. But the last one I expected, so it's not a big deal.
