Nice to see the OP for this. Got mid 30s during closed betas and still love this game as much as I remember. There are a lot of claims of mediocrity all around but the only area where I would agree is production value.
I really like the gameplay, quests, foundry, PVP, and dungeons.
Things that are lacking are voice acting, animations, and graphics (but I think this is overstated as the game looks fine most of the time, and great sometimes.)

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I played for a bit last night, just to level 5. I enjoy it and think the game has potential. The combat system (at least as a control wizard) does a very nice job of hiding it's MMO-ness and really feeling more action-y, almost like a mix of Diablo 2 and god of war-style console action game. That probably wears off once you have dozens/hundreds of hours poured into the game and everything boils down to numbers and formulas, but at least for now it feels like a nice change of pace from most of the genre.
Took me 2 hours to get in, then I had to quit to make breakfast. :-/
Or it's just like Aion or a few other MMO launches. People would macro stuff to stay logged in so they would not have to deal with the queue the next day, or use other ingame features to accomplish the same.
Reminds me of the good old days in WOW, when you'd have a character autorunning at a wall instead of logging out.
LOL, btw, from what game is your Avatar?
Sometimes if you alt-tab the counter will bug out and display a inaccurate number. It will correct itself if you have the window in focus, or change the game to windowed mode after a time.
There was never a first one.
Huh, guess you're right. Just looked it up and it's made by completely different people from Neverwinter Nights. May be the shortest time it's taken me to uninstall a game.
Well there was an online RPG called Neverwinter that came out forever ago...
My client can't connect to the login server. Is it down?

Surprised at how much fun I was having with this game last night. There's just something about it...
I enjoy that it's really lore heavy. Picking where your character is from (and you have a lot to choose from) is pretty neat. I wonder if any of that comes into play later or if its just mainly for role play. The story seems simple and not convoluted and hard to follow like every other mmo out there.
The graphics are by no means amazing but they do like a lot better than I thought they would on ultra settings. I think I just enjoy the art, it kinda reminds me of Torchlight sort of? And that can also be said about the gameplay aspect. It feels like an mmo mixed with a Torchlight/Diablo. Pretty fun! Seems like there also tons of customization with skills and so forth.
Overall, enjoying it so far. Feels like a solid game and even better, it's free. Playing a cleric while my brother plays the rogue class.

To put it in non technical terms, they're resting. Since yesterday the servers were Sasha Grey and the internet was dudes.

pvp is kind of broken for healers
score is used to calculate the glory reward. but healing does not award score points.
needs to get fixed asap ..
Good luck, there is tons of stuff to fix. It's still "beta"
Late bloomer. I've got one up to 14 and it seems rather lackluster at early levels compared to every other class. Apparently it does come into its own later, and becomes a beast 35+.
Disappointing to hear. Looks like I might go control wizard instead.
yeah it's down for maintenance
not sure but the forums have quite a few threads complaining about them
most people generally say you can get 3rd 4th place in the damage rankings with cleric, but seems like clerics will get aggroed a LOT
anyway the account i use to log into the game is qvoth0, i guess that makes my cryptic account thing @qvoth0 ? any way to check it in game?
But the early bloomers come into their own even more 35+ and beyond.
Even at high levels GWF are out DPSed greatly by Rogues, cant compete with damage or utility of a Wizard and takes more damage and is sometimes out DPSed by a Guardian.
Really, the only thing GWF has going for it is AoE which is awesome for trash.

Sounds like DnD.
Queue last night put me at 7000+ and took about 2 hours to get in. Friend of mine with the $200 founder pack said they got a queue position of 2 and got in 30 seconds later. Thats pretty cool, but not $200 cool.

Is the maintenance going on right now? Can't connect.

These queue times are bad. I'm using an anti-afk script to stay on later when the shard goes back up when I need to step away.

It's also maintenance right now too. I think another hour it should be up.

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
I liked STO other than it's poor PVP balance, so willing to give this a few weeks.
Got my Dwarven Guardian up to level 7 since the maintenance finished, enjoying it so far.

About 30 lockboxes open and still no nightmare mount /cry
Also, they really need to either do a subscription based thing where it just unlocks full bank + bags or make it where when you buy a bag/bank space it's account wide and not character wide because $5+ for 12 slots in a bank is fucking ridiculous and $10 for a 24 slot bag is even more ridiculous.
Make that shit account wide, like if i buy 4 bags every new character gets 4 bags or something and on that note the entire zen market place is extremely overpriced. I understand it's F2P but when the only way you can get these bags and bank space is to spend real money or farm a billion diamonds to convert to that money.. It shouldn't be so expensive.
I still get some stuffer in-town but that's to be expected on lower-mid cards if you are maxing it out, i have a GTX 660 and i get some stutter in town and sometimes in dungeons when i stand in a corner which is extremely fucking odd. Like the first dungeon i went into, i ran to this corner to grab this alchemy thing and my FPS literally dropped to 30.

Did you start getting the stutter after switching the screen? like fullscreen to windowed or windowed to fullscreen? Because when i first booted up the game it booted in windowed full and ran smooth as a babies ass but when i switched to fullscreen i had some pretty bad stutter at 60fps. I exited the game and restarted with vertical sync forced and its been perfectly fine since.

Cryptic does go over the top with essentials, rather than trying to price them slightly cheaper so that people won't feel like they're being blackmailed.
What's preferable, 1 person buying a 10$ bag?
Or 100 people buying a $2 bag?
It's kinda ridiculous that for the price of some of these MTC-items, you can buy whole games on a steam sale.

Oh, they're pulling *that* kind of free to play?
add/remove programs, uninstall neverwinter.
I can't be bothered with that. Just straight up ripoff WOW bag/bank system and instead of paying 10 gold, make me pay 2 dollar for each slot, and then make me craft a bag or something.
