So far it's not a bother, but I'm under two hours and only understand 30% of what I see anyway.  Maybe I'll win my own rust monster one day!

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

What kind of d&d player would want to be anywhere near a rust monster, much less have one follow them around?! All that gear... lost in time... like tears in rain. ACK!

The story is that like most F2P games, they drop lockboxes and sell keys in the cash store. Lockboxes can contain companions and mounts. Every time ANYONE IN THE ENTIRE GAME wins one, it spams every player IN THE ENTIRE GAME in 60 point type right in the middle of the screen. It spams in whatever language that player is localized too, so you get to see french and german notices that some asshole won a giant turtle mount or whatever. This happens 5-10 times per minute. Hundreds of threads have been posted complaining about this. They don't give a shit.

Beyond that, great game, though.

New Icewind Dale module is now live. 
http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/neverwinter/detail/5003383-module-3%3A-curse-of-icewind-dale-is-now-live!

I wish other games would copy the combat from this (minus standing still to cast and with a few more skills available to use) because probably is the most fun I've played in an MMO.  The rest of the game could still use a lot of work.

When there are at least three more class options I look forward to trying to get together a static to play this.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Neverwinter's combat is the slower and less polsihed version of TERA's combat, but I couldn't agree more with you that MMOs need more of this. Sadly, TESO tried the same thing with unimpressive results, and Wildstar took a step back by allowing autofacing if you ask me. In this department, I am looking forward to Blade & Soul and Black Desert, hoping they'll deliver.

I've been waiting for an MMO with a monk class for a long time, if this doesn't deliver soon i'll have to wait for EQNext.

I don't know what their problem is. They are copying from 4th Edition which has lots of minor variations of sub-classes but they are moving a glacial pace in terms of adding more skill tree/options/classes. Its frustrating to say the least.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

New content module, Tyranny of Dragons, is now live.  Biggest new features are a new race, Dragonborn, and new class, Scourge Warlock.

I played this for a while and tried to like it. It had already been out for a while and there didn't seem to be much going on in the way adding stuff. I also didn't like the way everyone of each class has the same looking gear regardless of what it was. It was also the very definition of nickel and diming you with RMT.

Those are pretty similar to my complaints. The best way I can describe it is that it feels VERY much like a F2P MMO. Somewhat generic, lots of nickel and diming, and nothing that really stands out.

I didn't even get that far.  I signed up, downloaded the client, played for literally ten minutes and saw my whole game experience in WoW or LoTRO repeating itself as if it were just a reskin of some Platonic Form of an MMO.

At that point I logged off and never came back.

I don't really understand Warlocks in a 4th Edition setting.  They had a purpose in 3rd Edition where you made a trade-off of versatility against always-available abilities.  Here they're just a goth-mage.

Pretty much everything in 4th edition is just a flavor difference like that.  The move to "powers" for every class homogenized things.

I case anyone is interested, and judging by the last post here being almost a year ago probably not, there's a double xp and astral diamond event going on now.  Double AD event is almost over, ending tomorrow at 10 am PDT, while the double xp event goes until 11 Aug. at 10 am PDT.

Neverwinter is such an odd game for me.

I played it pretty heavily for a few months (steam says I have like 220+ hours), then I was away from my computer for a couple of days and I just never really logged back in. I've tried to pick it back up again a few times now, I still find the combat fun and the game looks and runs well enough... but I never seem to click with it anymore. There was no event or change to the game that made me go 'fuck this, I'm out'. I just stopped playing for no real reason.

and the gate is like I TOO AM CAPABLE OF SPEECH

Yeah, same here.  I still have it installed and use to play it quite a bit but I suddenly stopped and rarely go back.  I did manage to take my GWF from 24 to 60 the past 2 days thanks to the double xp.  GWF are much more fun later on than they are at the beginning.  Not fun enough to get to 70, though.

I played it on a double Xp week or what have you. Got a character up to 60 and then slapped myself across the face and said 'why the fuck did you do that'. The zone and quest design being so on the rails that no amount of fun combat could make up for it. This game was horrible and I feel dirty for enjoying it even for a couple of days.

I downloaded this, made a Halfling Rogue, spent 10 minutes on a Beach wondering what I was doing with my life and logged off. The animation quality was so bad and I appeared to be floating above the terrain. I really ought to give it another try because those are hardly valid reasons to shit on an entire game, but it didn't exactly instill me with confidence about the overall experience. UI seemed funky, too. Not Tera-funky, but Tera's UI counts as some sort of level of Hell.

Neverwinter was like a Big Gulp to me:

*Slurp*  Ah!  refreshing!
*Sluuurp*  Whew!  Man, this is a lot of carbonated beverage*
*Sl....sl...slurp*  Geh.  Feh.  God I'm sick, but there's still some left, waste to throw it away, gotta get my money's worth

Why is it so hard for people to make the RPG experience digitally ?

Why ?

Because the RPG experience non-digitally relies on the imagination of the DM and players to prevent things like "grinding," to allow players to go anywhere and do anything ("hmm, you want to run up that wall, jump over the bad guy, land behind him and stab?... ok well, start with a climb check"), and basically to do everything that the digital RPGs end up not doing very well. 

That's one of the reasons I liked Neverwinter Nights so much though, the DM client was an amazing part of the game, as were all the extensions the community made for it to replicate as many "real world" DM functions as possible.  I was convinced at the time that the DM client was basically the future of computer RPGs because it let you more closely replicate D&D.  Boy is my face red over that prediction.  Ohhhhh, I see.

Yeah, you pretty much wrote exactly what was in my head.  I loved the promise of NWN and the Aurora and it only need a small jump to 'get there'.

Yet, I'm casting about for a good D&D fix and there's fuck all anywhere.
