I'll never play a MMO with non-action based combat ever again.
Tab-Target Auto-Attack Combat is dead to me.
Considering how a majority of my own clan bailed this game to play Neverwinter, Perfect World must be making a killing off of this game.
I would feel happier about this if they'd put local servers in the Oceanic region (NZ/Australia) instead of making us play with 300ms-380ms pings.
Till they do, action games are a bit meh to me.
I've only logged about 20 minutes into NVW so far...stupid server kicked me like a bad habit =/
But I've enjoyed what little I have played, and I'm hoping I continue to like it. I can see a nice multigame dichotomy forming with Defiance for the pewpewpew alien murder fun and NVW for the hack'n'slash magic dragons fun.
yup.Quote:

that said, Neverwinter is currently down, nobody can connect to the patcher. (see, every launch game has problems!)
thus, it is PewPewPew time.
wonder how your clan feels about not being able to play tonight. maybe they fire up Defiance until Cryptic gets their shtako sorted out?Quote:

If you can spend money on the game, then it is launched. I don't care about the "open beta" marketing.
and I like the game, I'm not bashing it. I'm just saying that all launch MMOs have their issues.
When you can manage to log in, Neverwinter is a pretty descent game.
Yeah, but the difference is, then, at least Cryptic has said from the jump that it is an Open Beta.Quote:

Been done a couple of times, and failed miserably, doubt it will happen again unless the game is developed there.Quote:

Now neverwinter is taking players from every MMO.Quote:

neverwinter is having some server issues, but they're still in beta. they've got about as much uptime as defiance did at launch - save for the fact that the moderators on the forums are transparent and do their best to make sure issues are dealt with as soon as possible. it's on its second day of open beta, and plays better than defiance does currently. this is no contest.
IMO as soon as a game starts accepting real money for items in their store they are no longer a beta.Quote:

[Perfect World International prime example] when a game costs 200$ to win... its not a beta. when you have to purchase to get great (not good) its i dont see it in beta.Quote:

Best "open beta" is still Path of Exile.Quote:

Exactly, some people live in ignorance.Quote:

What. The. Hell???Quote:

As someone that lived in North Carolina for a few years, yes.Quote:

Trying to play both but NW is stealing most of my time. Defiance has the original concept going for it but NW has one of the best things an MMO can do, "Player Created Content", so there will never be a lack of things to do as new content is uploaded everyday. As far as downtime I have heard that some people have had trouble with the patcher but I for one have not, this could be due to either host or server side having problems but it is not as rampant as the "patch error" Defiance suffered with its launch. NW also was not rushed to market like Defiance so they had a proper alpha, closed beta and are now going with a open beta/soft launch. If Trion can get it together soon they can keep up but if problems persist I'm afraid those that didn't leave for NW will leave for TES:OL and Defiance will be another great idea that just wasn't executed properly.
we're going on 4 hours of downtime in Neverwinter.
c'mon Cryptic get it together, I got two straight days off to burn, and no money to go anywhere (except to see Iron Man 3)
