Does gold serve a purpose after you've purchased your mount?
Later on I find I'm running out of potions and stuff as a rogue so it can be useful for buying supplies. Potions get a little pricey. Mostly, yes gold isn't important in this game aside from the mount.

potions, wound kits, resource gatherers.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
To add to that, don't worry about not having the gold for a mount at 20.
I had just under 2g when I hit 20 and thought it would take forever to get 5g for the mount.
But my free 'rentals' lasted longer than I expected, I've still got one unused rental token available at 28 and over 7g total already so will easily get my mount when the last rental runs out.
My GWF is still lagging other classes at level 28, but not shockingly so, my last Cragmire Crypts run saw me 3rd in damage and while my numbers are poor compared to the Tricksters and Wizards out there I can easily now outdamage Guardians and Clerics and I hope that I get some parity with the other DPS classes as I gain the next 10 levels.
Either way I'm enjoying the class and theres something about underdog classes that always attracts me.

Either I've been grouping with crappy GWFs (which is completely possible I suppose, random groups and all) or they really don't get better: at 60 and doing the epic dungeons, GWFs is the least desirable class to see. Their damage is crappy and they don't really contribute in any other way.

leveled a trickster to 26th, haven't played the game since Sunday May5th... I'm done with it.
What breaks me... is the quest grind, same set up over and over and over again. I enjoy the fan made quest addon, really makes the game stand out.
But... a quest is a quest, kill mobs, kill boss mob at end or collect items, kill # of mobs. Buy mount, buy skills, get armor, grind grind grind.

So you don't like MMOs. Maybe single player RPGs too?

Wait, you just go to a PVP zone and stand around collecting experience? Can't you get attacked? I haven't done anything with PVP so I don't know how it works but that seems like an easy way to get to 60.
You start off on a high up platform where you can't be targeted. At least on the one PvP map I played.
Yep. You get about 30% a level in EXP per match. You can't report, either.
I must have been spoiled by SWTOR PVP, because I really hate the PVP here. Shitty teams aside, there's not a whole lot of strategy other than focus targeting and having more people on your side in a fight. Capture the point is boring. Also, you can use your mounts and the real-money ones go faster than everyone elses (lol).
Can't see that lasting. I'm not going to even play the PVP until 60 because MMO pvp is terrible besides at level cap.
You can get your mount just as fast as them without paying but it isn't cheap. The alternative is either not allowing mounts or slowing everyone down to the lowest speed. It's really any different than something like WoW, you could be too poor to buy mount training and be slower than everyone else.
Guild is on Mindflayer.
Which dragon?
I guess its the first one...Spoiler There are more? lol

I need to play this more, been busy D:
They need to fix when you are in a group just to talk to your friends, but you are in different locations. Every time someone tries to change instances, you have to be all be there to move on. There have been many times already where we have had to kick someone out if our group just so we could change areas.

40s/50s bracket BGs in Vanilla WoW were far, far superior to 60.

Went pug a couple of time but is impossible doin it that way, people kept fuckin things up and dps were way too low , i'll try to get a decent pty tonight through a LFG, wish they would restrict the level for entering an instance, if it's level 34 and up, make it that way ffs :/
Interesting. I started when TBC came out so I missed that. Last time I played WoW Rogues one hit people until level 70 when you could get PVP gear.

The dragon fight is pretty intense. I had to carry teknopathetic through it (along with other gaffers). But if you think the dragon is bad wait until you do the werewolf dungeon - that last boss is fucking ridiculous. We did it... but goddamn it was a rollercoaster of insanity the entire 15 minute fight.

Tbc had good pvp too. Twink brackets were some of my favorite days
just hit sixty and got my gs up to about 7k immediately. Going to be fun! I love a challenge
The OP needs to start adding in these preview-reviews (Massively, Rock Paper Shotgun, Toms, Forbes, etc)
Maybe the latest patch notes too?
Or has he abandoned it already? =P

I notice pvp is pretty cutthroat for cleric if you're not careful. I get focused down so fast it's not even funny

I stumbled upon a job board in the Blacklake District today. What level do you need to be to jump into the Foundry missions?
Any level, they all scale to what level you are currently.
Edit, level 15 to create your own.
Damn I thought they were OP in pvp

That's really neat. The Foundry sounds like the most fascinating part of the game to me. I mean the big issue with MMO's is that you run out of content and find no reason to log on, but if players keep creating new missions...

they keep the burst damage in check sometimes, but they can be difficult to kill one on one.
Then again my great isn't great either.
Can my STO zen coins transfer to NW and back?
Didn't realize they were taking the same F2P microtransaction model. I love it.
All of their games with zen are supposed to be linked.
I just found that out. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETT!
Not only that, but STO and NW are cross chat. I have "GAFleet" in my chat channel and talking to some people from STO!

It depends on how you earn the Zen. If you purchased it outright, then it is transferrable. If you gained the Zen as a result of having a paid/lifetime subscription to STO, then it is linked to that specific title.
I agree with this review, this game kinda came out of nowhere for me.
I knew it was coming out, but expected it to suck
All of my Zen are obtained through ingame currency exchange.
Logged into STO and found out the Zen coins total don't match. I guess I got 625 free for the beta.
A lot of people did, but it ended up being pretty good for the game. People came in with low expectations and found a game that is actually very well crafted.
This isn't really fair. The quests in this game are particularly samely.
It's generic MMO quests stuffed in for xp between enjoyable storyline dungeons. I agree that the open zone stuff is samey, but it isn't completely full of them. If it's a big turn off for this game, I really can't see someone liking most MMOs.
A lot of his list also applies to RPGs.

You won't believe how many times I heard this during the last few days. Well, probably you will. But really, it's so true, a complete surprise.
Looked into this.
Someone guessed it on their facebook.
It apparently has something to do with this.
"You've got it! Not those exact ones... but we'll reveal more details when we can. Stay curious!"
They are apparently Neverwinter equivelant of STO "Seasons"? Whatever those were. Edit: It is an early teaser hinting at the first large content patch I think.
