Only played a Half-Orc Mage. Every time I thought I was getting tired of the combat I'd teleport around a group and utterly decimate them, then find some semi-interesting quest. There's just enough that I may keep at it on launch.

Or I'll go back to STO...or my copy of GW2...or finish a storyline on TOR...hm.

Actually I wanted to announce this in its own thread once

- The game progressed out of beta
- I confirmed the game is even worth my time (it will be, for lulz mainly, playing alongside some of you chumps)
- I confirmed the game supports clans/groups/whatever they're called in this game

and since all three are (almost) true then I may as well lay this down now:

The Official Neverwinter RPGCodex clan is going to be called Knights of the Codex and I shall be its founder, Sir Watson. I will be playing as close to a paladin as the game allows, which it doesn't unfortunately, so I'll be choosing a caucasion, blond-haired, blue-eyed Great Weapon Fighter. Initial testing of this configuration has proven quite amusing.

We'll figure out which server to choose, assuming there will be a choice at launch, and we'll try to group as much as possible, coordinated here, of course.

Now, some of you may wish to usurp this plan and make your own Codexian clan, to which I say poppicock. I mean, I can't stop you, but who else better to lead you than I? Think of the glory. Think of the escapades we'll have. Think of the stupendous retardation!

May as well state what type of character you'll be playing and what he/she/it will be called now.

Soon it begins.

Well, people who don't have access to our already existing cross-game chat channel (covers NW, STO and CO; quite handy) can post their handles either now or when the time is closer. Me or some other folks active over at STO can send channel invites.

What are the level and currency requirements to make a Foundry mission?

 

[Froglok]

Its combat is slightly better than DDO without any of the DnD elements

It is WoW with hack and slash combat

 

[Elim]

I feel buyers remorse...couldn't even finish the tutorial without rage-quitting.

 

[Jaesun]

Awaiting Skyway approval....

Seeing this thread again just made me download DDO again.

I still have this on my computer. I downloaded it about a year ago and never played it because they wanted me to pay money to unlock the warforged race. I remember that aside from the combat mechanics and character building mechanics they changed for the mmo, that it was relatively well done when I tried the beta. (Narrator, atmosphere, etc.)

Dungeon delvers of Neverwinter, mark your calendars. We are pleased to announce that on April 30, 2013, Neverwinter, our upcoming free-to-play action MMORPG, will officially enter Open Beta!

But before then, we will have an additional Beta Weekend Four, from April 12-14, to polish and test features which will be available during Open Beta. Here is just some of what players will experience during the next Beta Weekend:

- First opportunity to experience Neverwinter's Profession System
- Explore one or all four different types of professions: Leadership, Mailsmithing, Platesmithing, and Leatherworking.
- Play through 50 levels of content, including improvements based on feedback from Beta Weekend Three.
- If you played in Beta Weekend Three, you can continue your progress and grow even stronger!

Note: There will be no character wipes after April 25th.

The Official Neverwinter RPGCodex clan is going to be called Knights of the Codex and I shall be its founder, Sir Watson. I will be playing as close to a paladin as the game allows, which it doesn't unfortunately, so I'll be choosing a caucasion, blond-haired, blue-eyed Great Weapon Fighter.

Make it a female, everyone loves the virgin lady knight as a leader.

Well, I'm having fun, I subscribed for the month being, and a couple other CDSers are playing/might play.

Neverwinter is just DDO with fancier graphics and dumbed down everything else. The combat isn't even more actiony, really, given that you aren't expected to maneuver defensively, and so it's just clickspam+presshotkeywhenoffcooldown (so, not much different than DDO).

Is it possible to build a bard in DDO that is primarily about barding and not just a TWF or wizard poser?

Not sure, but there are a lot of possibilities. Here's a great thread of builds: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=117232 and also http://ddowiki.com/page/Category:Builds_for_new_players

How long would I have to play for to unlock warforged and artificer options?

 

[Black_Willow]

Meh, it's just Guild Wars 2: Forgotten Realms Edition, with editor and more clumsy combat.

No can do, bro. My BroRep is far too important to me.

BTW, Knights of the Codex will NOT see its inception during any of the beta periods. Only when this game's finished can we come together and be ultra fags.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well, we can get people up and about on the chat channel anytime you guys want, since I can operate it from both Champions and Star Trek Online.

 

[Turisas]

A vow of chastity is a harder sell for a male paladin, you'll have to be pretty darn Lawful Good to pull that off. The clan name is p. cool btw., an ironic name like the Brave Companions.


I just watched some char creation screen, and apparently not only do you have to choose a god, there's only the goody-two-shoes ones to select from? How the fuck do they expect me to larp a dragon-illithid hybrid bhaalspawn if I have to worship Mielikki? o_O

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I wonder if anyone on the forums has asked for Atheist as the evil religion.

 

[Turisas]

Have they said anything at all about new classes? The existing caster looks like shit, so unless they're particularly jewy about the whole deal, I want a warlock.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

No word yet as far as I know. Though twenty bucks says they'll be selling new classes at 10 dorraa a pop.

Well, drow race or "Menzoberranzan Renegade" are playable once you pay so it is safe to assume same for some classses, considering Perfect Worlds previous games.
This game smells P2W unfortunately.

 

[Zeriel]

Drow are only P2P until 60 days after release (and only the special Menzoberranzan Renegade type). After that point, they're F2P.
