I give it the lowest score because I don't want to play it based on the current state even considering it's offering a lot for free.

Unless I see some evidence of dramatic changes to the game on forums such as this, I probably won't check it out again.

It may come across as hate.. but I didn't want to dislike this game. It's a shame it didn't like up to anywhere near my expectations.

Will there be a character wipe or not?

why do people still ask this...99% of betas have character wipes..only recent one i think of is Path of Exiles, but its no an MMO.

 

 

Because its a valid question. Some have wipes and some dont even in the closed phase. If you would think before you posted you would see that you are saying the same thing in your reply.

 List 10 major AAA mmorpgs that did not do a character wipe.

That has nonthing to do with what I asked and my questions answer has been found.

2/10. The graphics are mediocre at best, the animations are lackluster, the environments are boring, the character models are horrifically bad, the engine is a resource hog, the voice acting is laughable, the setting is garbage, and the ruleset I've already made my feelings quite clear on in several other threads.

There's just nothing enjoyable about this game.

This weekend was my first chance to play the game. I was so disappointed. I really wanted to like this game, but I have to agree. The graphics are pretty terrible, especially the character models and animations. The art has no real style to it. It's very bland and generic.

Ill give it 5/10 and Im being generous here. All my playtime in beta I tried to find a single thing that I actually liked. And I couldnt. Everything felt so bland, secondary and half-cooked.

Whats your score?

 

I'll go for 3/10, and the three points are solely for the Foundry.  I played one mission that actually felt somewhat like a D&D tabletop session, but the rest of the game just ruins it for me.  Wizards of the Coast needs to be far more picky with regards to who they license their IP to.

for me if a game plays horrible, i hate the look, it doesn't grab me out the gate i probably won't put much time into it(just too many games out their right now).. having said that aside from some minor quirks like the running animations, character models, and rooting i don't have any major issues with neverwinter as all i expected was a dungeon crawler with a creation tool.. i have limited time with the tool and well see how it turns out overall but for me the game rests on how much I enjoy making my own content.. anything else is just extra..

So The Foundry isn't available for this beta test?

Goddammit...

...or is it just limited or that people simply haven't the time to really utilize it yet?

Yep, Age Of Wushu did not have a wipe. I was there.

Almost all the original games developed in English have wipes after close beta. Most have wipes in between close beta sessions, and many have wipes after or inbetween open beta.

Only games which are translated and not developed usually do not have wipes. This is because the beta for translating already developed game is different than a game which has not been developed elsewhere and is being developed fr first time.

I bet the chinese localization of Neverwinter will not have much wipes in their beta because by ten english game would already have been developed and tested in English.

3/10

boring, classes are lame and uninspiring, with the future looking like pay for classes.  The engine is bad, the world is lifeless. I couldnt play it longer then 2 hrs.  

caveat: I did not have my own account and was only able to leech off a friends access for about half of Sunday.

Overall - 5/10

The lack of choices and customization was the real killer for me. I liked tabletop 3.5 and regularly play DDO and so know just how mant directions things could go. We never adopted 4.0 rules and beyond.

NWO was just so confining and restrictive that there was little to no real choices. Sure they prevent you from making a mistake, but instead make everyone a cookie cutter cut out. 

My second point was that the gameplay felt like just another twitchy ARPG, and not MMO-like at all. Almost felt like a Diablo/Torchlight spinoff. And while I enjoy Path of Exile for that style of play, it is NOT what I expect from D&D.

The graphics were mostly good, but the animations and effects went way way too far into the "OOOOoooh SHINY!" for my tastes. A more restrained look would hav been more appreciated. Again, not Bad, just not to my liking at all.

Still a beta, sure. But from what I saw, there was little to nothing to hold and keep people after the first month. The Forge/Foundry(sic) might do the trick. But if the system is weak or lacking at its core, dressing it up in a new suit with each player dungeon will only hold and fool people just so long. I will keep an eye on NWO, but nothing I saw today makes me want to play it.

Say what you will about Neverwinter. It has some awesome moments. (If this doesn't like properly, I'll try another way. First time trying to do something like this.)

humm for me this is my general score:

Wow MOP: 7/10

GW2: 9/10

Rift: 8/10

AOC 7/10 b4 F2P

SWTOR 8/10 b4 F2P

so i guess for Neverwinter 7.5/10

for me the amount of fun i get is my score and this is totally personal score for what  makes me click.

exactly.

5-6/10 and I am generous.

8 out of 10 easy

It would be a 9 but I am not even going to try PvP in this game since its D&D...so, no PvP is a -1

Graphics are fine, doesnt need to be realistic and fits the setting. 7/10

Sound is spot on. 10/10

Skills are well rounded and deep enough for the action combat 8/10

Story is right around NeverWinter Nights 1 quality 8/10

Animations could use some work, not perfect but way above TSW thats for sure 7/10

Havent created via foundry yet however have tested a few of the bigger foundry quests which shows a TON can be created with it 10/10

PvE up to mid 20s is great, solo friendly and dungeons scale wonderfully to group play. 8/10

 

 

 Pretty much my thoughts, although I am looking forward to seeing what they do with PvP. With a bit more polish it could be a 9 easily.

7/10

I was looking for a dungeon crawler and i got one. Moreover, for a F2P MMO it is amazing.
