Neverwinter Open Beta

It's not just for ships now. I haven't played the game in a while but apparently you need it for crew, space station stuff, and now I think even some equipment, from what I've read on the forums.

there is nothing in STO that requires real money


**the only thing in STO worth paying money for is maybe a larger
inventory...maybe

Be honest...you dont have the faintest idea about STO...

"I have not played the game in awhile"

You never played STO in anyway shape or form..never has STO been pay2win;
matter of fact if you think STO is pay2win...you are a fucking retard.

STO is one of the easiest MMOs out there....on Elite difficulty.

Yes I did play it. Granted it was a year ago I last played, after the new Odyssey cruiser, but I still occasionally read the forums. I used a fleet escort and bought the collector's edition for $7 online (that should tell you something about the game). Even back then dilithium requirements were becoming excessive. It doesn't make the game pay to win like asian MMOs but you really limit yourself if you don't. It doesn't help that they "fixed" the easy console foundry missions that gave you a quick 1440 dilithium. Now you have to run the same few elite borg missions over and over.

Bottom line: STO is a medicore game and I don't trust the company's "free to play" model, and Neverwinter is pretty much destined to be the more of the same. It will rely on the foundry instead of developer content, which by nature means mediocre content.

I downloaded it today, the rogue is pretty cool. Game seems decent so far.

From what I've read on neverwinter reddit there's a gem that aoe stuns foes around you when you're struck once every two minutes and crafting the gem is on a 1% success rate unless you pay $.

that would only really be bothersome in pvp I spose.

If you want to respec its about 240k diamonds. (They were very clever when it came to being vague in the skill tree.) And since there's two skill trees you'd have to pay that twice. To put it into prospective I'm level 43 out of 60 and only have 50k diamonds. (I play like 6 hours a day!)

I won't ever use the auction house because i'll be using my months farming just to fix problems I had to learn the hard way.

I enjoy the game, but I'm looking forward to other things. (Like velious here.)

You should probably read what I post while you're not drunk and then reply while you are. We get the best of both worlds this way.

Ok I've put about 2 hours in, here's my thoughts as a level 6 Elf Great Weapons Fighter.

1.) The introduction is embarrassing. It feels so fucking cheesy there's just something about CGI graphics and spell effects with the characters trying to look powerful at the start of a game that makes me want to punch my monitor. I miss the warcraft2 esque narrated introduction with scrolling text and a nice background to set the theme. Bethesda would be a great company to learn from here, ever since Daggerfall in 1995 they've made their games start with some flair.

2.) Extremely dissapointed that I was only picking my characters 'back story' when I picked a city. Game diversification has gone to absolute shit. Why does everyone have to be funneled into the same city and quest line. Even story driven games can give one a sense of freedom(dragonborn), instead of feeling like your standing in line for a fucking ride.

3.) I like the combat so far. A refreshing way of fighting that feels a little more interactive. I like the Great Fighters skills, a little more flexiblity and variety in the path you want to specialize would be great.

4.) The boss fights, at least initially, were pretty fun.

5.) Stop fucking handholding us with quests and shit! The quests are absolutely fucking boring and retarded at low levels. Why the fuck am I gathering arrows? If my backstory is a tried and true mercenary and I just survived a dracoliche attack and rescued the city from an undead raid on a bridge, why am i playing courier in the city?

Im on dragon server.
Names Knuckle.

This game has nothing to do with D&D except they've used the same names for primary attributes and some of the items have a 'thing of protection +1' theme.
