Another Everquest clone.

MMO is a synonym for crap nowadays.
-
NWN1 is one of the best games evar made. Too bad they had to rape the name by making another crappy WoW clone.

Been playing it a lot this week. Combat is actually not like most MMOs. It's a little more twitched base. Although it's a bit subtle, it really does mirror 4E D&D in more than just name. People THINK it's a WoW clone, but classes really don't play that way. A Cleric is not a WoW healer, and a Guardian Fighter is not a WoW tank. If you try to play them that way, you will get fucked up. If you play your class the way you would in the pen and paper game, you'll probably do really well. Lucky for me, Cleric and Fighter were my most played classes.
My biggest criticism for the game is how limiting the classes are. They've taken the broad 4E classes and put them into very narrow scopes. In the pen and paper, Guardian and Great Weapon Fighter would both be the same class, and still would not represent even half of what the Fighter class is capable of. I'm not fond of their decision to make these different build options into completely different classes, but it does work for the game.
It's fun! Give it a chance. Get at least to level 30-35ish. Let yourself experience a wide array of powers.

If you're like me and don't want to lose any progress, wait a month untill it releases. There will be a wipe.
EDIT: This is incorrect.
-
That is wrong. There will be no more character wipes.
-
I can't create an account for some reason. anyone else having this problem
-
That is wrong. There will be no more character wipes.
My apologies, you are right. In the extended FAQ, they said this:
Will there be a character wipe before Headstart begins?
Yes.
I misunderstood and thought the Headstart was after the open beta. But the headstart was 25 april.
Guess I can level up freely now.

Not worthy.

This! Spent many hours on such worlds since neverwinter nights 1

NWN is still a good game that translated D&D 3.5 very well.
-
the only thing that is potentially interesting about this game is the whole Foundry dealio. It allows players to create their own dungeons that other players can then play, it seems pretty cool and some of them are really good.
This just basically means you will likely never run out of content to play, which is the problem I have with most MMOs.
But of course it all still hinges on whether the game is actually enjoyable to play or not, if it is shit more content won't necessarily help.

Neverwinter nights persistent worlds are pretty much only proper role playing games online. Storytelling.

It's an incredibly generic MMO. It's fine if you're just looking to burn some time on something vaguely entertaining, but it's nothing like NWN1 or 2.
I really don't understand why every single MMO has to feel exactly the same.
-
The basic quests are more or less your standard MMO affair, but I'd say the controls and character progression are pretty unique. I've also never seen a healing class play like Divine Cleric.
For anyone that didn't like it: What class did you play as? What level did you get to?
Both Fighter classes are very underpowered at the moment.

I think it's not bad compared to some of the shit that people are playing right now, nothing revolutionary or amazing but it's been entertaining me so far. It's definitely not a bad combat system, it's atleast more fun than all your "point and click" kind of MMORPGs which I have grown sick of.
Gristle, both fighter classes underpowered? I'm playing a Guardian Fighter about level 18 and I don't really feel that underpowered right now tbh, I always rank middle of the table or sometimes higher in terms of damage but I'm also able to stay in the pocket, generate threat and make the bosses etc focus on me. when it comes to PVP the Guardian also has decent survivability and can also dish out some nice DPS if specced right, of course there is a lot of balancing to be done right now but I think peoples perception of OP and UP are unjustified in a majority of cases, as you can find a thread about every single class with people claiming it's UP or OP. The Great Weapon Fighter does look a bit lack lustre and probably needs a buff, but so far I'm pretty happy with my Guardian.

I'm with Vodner on this one. The combat system is a bit actiony, I'll give it that, but the rest of it is very generic.

Sadly most MMORPGs are 'generic' ( the reason for the term lol ) and those that aren't and claim to have revolutionized MMORPGs always turn out to be broken shitfests too, which is probably why I haven't played a single new MMORPG for years which I've stuck at for a long period of time, that being said I'm enjoying this and will continue to do so until I inevitably grow bored and stop playing, lol.
