Neverwinter Open Beta

1. Rift
2. Lotro
3. ???
4. Profit?


It's ok so far, looks like a cross between rift and lotro...nothing to get wet over. But its free and its forgotten realms...which holds a dear place in my heart.

It's nothing but a cash grab, like all Perfect World games.

I checked it out and it's pretty cool. I wouldn't just sweep it away in a generalization. Cryptic Studios said it wasn't Pay2Win. Being able to play an action MMORPG with a char who hails from Baldur's Gate = win

I played for a few hours and I didn't see any D&D elements whatsoever

It felt like a generic hack and slash

That sounds contradictory.

Edit:
The Foundry-type stuff was always a staple of the Neverwinter franchise and was always hit or miss based on the skill of the designers. It sounds like more of that.

The lack of survivability sounds like a plus to me. See "D&D element" above.

The cash shop sounds like a problem only if you make it so.

Game is awful, feels way too arcade-y for my taste.

The fact that I am sitting in the ec tunnel watching Archer prolly says a lot about the game. Still worth looking at tho.
