Love It Or Hate It: Neverwinter

Yeah, it's not bad, I just passed paragon level 30 and now it's way way too easy as a Paladin, not so sure about all this pay2win comments, it's embarrassingly easy at the moment solo or in groups.

Compared to Vanilla LOTRO the PvE in this is faceroll, I can kill a group of 12 same level mobs in about 4 seconds with a 'healing' class.

Looks decent maxed out and is fairly fun to play.

Played it. Is it free to play .. definatly never spent a dime. Was I succesfful without paying, yes very. Was I "Uber" no (don't buy into even in-game pay for power .. never spent 1 astral diamond [In game time-currency] ). It was moderetly fun, but lack of game play variation gets old quick. It's just kill endless baddies with 4 buttons.

So it's not that P2W where your not un-compentive, or can't play PVE at some point. (PVPs always P2W when cash is about)

Is the cash shop an over priced trash heap. Hells yah!

But that's actaully not the problem, it's the D3 "real money" / Astral Diamond action house. Lay down your cash and get all the stuff ... I class it as Play-to-PWN-Now. This brings the bots, and expliots. None of which Cryptic are capable of dealing with, it was "exploit as fast as you can" since they don't ban. Make as big as an AD farm as you can, trade items / siphon it through the AH so you can buy overpriced in game consumables for power.

So Like: Game
Hate: Policies

A meh for me. The early and later parts of the game development had no P2W. There was one pet that only was cash shop that gave a few perks,, but you could buy it by trading in house currency and did not need it to enjoy the game. Then they unbalanced it and PvP was just a P2W gank. I am more a PvE person and the game was OK. It falls so short of anything worth a DnD title that is literally a SHAME and EMBARASSING use of the title. The game has the hooks. It opens up pretty dynamic. Nice story with immersion things like a cinematic bridge battle.All that is GONE mid game. And it falls to the bowls of "derp a mmorpg" creativity of grind and pusha map. Armor grind cut immersion.
The characters are butt ugly. And the character customization is PISSPOOR. I mean, Star Treks model is AWESOME and FULLL of customization (probably best on the market by Perfect Worlds). They used the same model but limited... And when you press SHIFT + Direction do dode...you do this skate board slide thing...where as in star trek you can actually roll and crouch...WTF went wrong? Only get parts of the code to work with? HORRIBLE.
Button mashing leads to finger aches fast. Boss fights and every monster you fight is same strategy. Just more and avoid hit spots...I prefer a 10 keys of proper skill placement tab targeting than this kind of crap. In the end though, it looks good, has some decent progression, And POTENTIAL. Just potential not realized. So MEH.

Am a beta player, had a great time to cap 2 characters to 50...until they added the first module, it was clear to me then its going to be a steady heavy grind of dailies, keys...etc, & heading toward P2W direction extensively, so I quit, but I truly hope this will change one day, I have pre-purchased founder/packs until Fury of the Feywild. When they increased cap to 60, I thought I would give it a try but apparently I had hope for a hopeless game. This game has the best combat system I ever seen in an MMO, such a waste.

Liked the combat, story was so so. Dropped after reading ah problems an game breaking bugs

It' alright, it never really clicked with me but there wasn't anything particularly bad about it.

Fantastic game. Great graphics, great combat system, and Forgotten Realms setting. The story is synced up with all the other D&D properties, such as the tabletop, DDO, and the books. Lots of long time guilds in the game, going all the way back to beta. Recently there has been a huge influx of returning and new players. The new Stronghold content is great, and the next expansion, which will launch before 2016, has quest lines written by R.A. Salvatore and focuses on the Underdark. Good things happening right now in Neverwinter.

I have played Neverwinter since close beta, and I had a blast with it until the new module came out, and I got the feeling that the game was becoming more of a PTW but that didn't affect how much fun I had.

i really hate this game, but i specially hate perfect world, that company made this game, the most pay 2 win crap ever

I played neverwinter for one year grinded the sh** out of this game
The only reason i hate this game its because of its pay to win model
yea some may argue with me that its not
but its

for a "free game" it is fun combat wise and skills
the lore is fine too interesting enough for mmo

Love it bruh
