Anyone checking it out during the open beta? I've played up to level 5. The combat reminds me of DDO/GW2, requires more movement and fewer skills to manage. Graphics are below average I'd say. The style wasn't meant to be realistic, still think it could look nicer. VO for the main quests is a nice touch. However, VO doesn't sync correctly with NPCs lips, making it feel like a bad dub. The dungeons are the main lure for Neverwinter, so I hope to delve into them rather soon. The main story will always give you something to do and is mildly captivating. There haven't been any big story moments, except for a few boss fights. Boss fights require fighting smart, nice to see!

It's tough for me to get into MMO's these days anyway. I played Asheron's Call from 1999-2004 and that really spoiled me for anything else.
I've put a lot of time into Guild Wars 2 since launch, it is the only one so far that even comes close to the same 'feel' that AC had. But even GW2 gets old after I've played it for a week or two, so I leave it for a while and come back again. _______________ http://steamcommunity.com/id/citizen059 |

Yup, the standard systems are all there. The Foundry is my favorite part of it. It really does continue the DnD legacy. Some of the environments and dungeons have secret areas, which are always fun to discover.
My experience with PvP has not been great. I can't tell if it is my lack of experience, bad team, or the system itself. The domination maps are similar to the Alderaan warzone in SWTOR. I'm level 28 now, will see how it goes. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

I've played it a little bit, on the Beholder server. Too early to make a judgement on it yet. I like some aspects of it...the combat seems simple, my son has picked up on it pretty well too. The world feels very generic though. The "theme park" MMO model at work again.
Time will tell, I guess. _______________ http://steamcommunity.com/id/citizen059 |
