Neverwinter Reviews

Have been playing quite a bit of this game recently. Just found out about the Foundry aaaaaaaaand...... it's gone. That fact almost turned me off of this game if it wasn't the only good D&D game in my opinion. The Foundry being broken is a pretty big deal though and I most likely will loss interest in simply playing this game as I normally do with MMO's. The user generated quests got stupid excited only to be majorly let down by the game and by the support team that is supposed to cover the game. TL;DR: If you came for Foundry you might as well turn around unless you like boring MMO's

★★★☆☆ [h1]Played hundreds if not thousands of hours before it was available on Steam. Quit a few years ago, but feel my review still holds today.[/h1] Pro's: Great combat mechanics: Most classes are fun to learn and have a real role in group situations. Controls feel fluid and tight: Dodging feels good and is rewarding. PVE content is exceptional: Many zones, many dungeons, many bosses, many gear sets. Graphics are above average. Con's: [b]Pay to Win aspect [u]RUINS[/u] PVP. [/b] Content gated heavily by daily quests. Not open world. No real end game "raid" content you might expect from a MMO of this caliber. Company seems to have shifted focus to making this a console game. PC community dying/dead/small.

Pure pay to win especialy the PVP! I loved this game alot but over time it gets so grindy and not worth it everything is just zen/astral diamond based if u dont have any of these ur will be doing same stuff over and over again until u get some ad and then gain few stats increase on ur gear and the same sh repeats over and over again i would better play Elder Scrolls Online just a tip for someone who was abt to start playing Neverwinter just dont... Dont do that... Pure waste of time and good mod..

I can't believe that the entire Asia region is banned. I'm living in Taiwan and would love to try this game, but can't. There should be a region lockout on Steam if this is the case, don't waste legitimate user's time installing it only to find out they can't play it. Better yet, Arcgames could support these regions!

PROS: When you've reached like level 3 you're gonna start to nerd this game A LOT The game is constantly updated to either fix bugs or add in new content If you're into MMO RPGs you're gonna love this game to bits CONS: 'astral diamonds' wich you use to buy stuff in the AH (Auction House) (buying items off others) are kinda tricky to get if you don't have 2 friends with you or if you're under level 20. RATING: 9,5/10

Don't expect the greatest game of all time, but expect the perfect formula for hijinks with your dad friends. Combat is pretty damn fun and in general it is a good looking game. Its not really about the leveling or the world for me, but the journey into maddness.

Actually a really fun and good looking Dungeons and Dragons MMO. Unfortuantely its completely Pay to Win which really ruins the end game experience.

A disclaimer - it's a game set in Forgotten Realms universe, but don't expect DnD-like gameplay. Now what should I say about this game... Neverwinter is a MMORPG, and a really good one. I was somewhat off for the first few hours, but the game gets better and better with every hour you spend in it. A disclaimer #2 - if you don't like timegate mechanic and grinding dailies don't read further. Let's start with some pros: + Setting - I'm definitely a FR lover. You should know that Salvatore helped with writing some of the quests in the game. You will also meet some amazing characters like Bruenor Battlehamer, Drizzt Do'Urden or Minsc&Boo. + Music - wether you're in the heart of Neverwinter, traverse the Underdark or purge the Dread Ring of the undead you'll always be accompanied by really nice tunes. It's an MMO so obviously music does not play THAT BIG of a role, but the tracks playing at the background do not disturb you. + Character development(bright part) - it's really well made. While power upgrading does not matter much, traits and boons can passively make your character stronger in different ways(for example make your trap also deal damage over time, and even stronger against immune targets) + Combat - you're basically on the move all the time, combat is dynamic, there is a lot of dodging, blocking and watching out for enemy attacks + Endgame - that is just my opinion but endgame is great. Dungeons are challenging(unless you get boosted by that 3k+ player), long, bossfights are fun. There is always something to do due to campaigns which not only give great rewards but boost your character stats via boons. Also progress is slow paced but significant enough to see the difference between those two items, 30-40 item levels or that one tier of your artifact. Cons - Hard to earn currency - getting AD as a fresh player is a pain in the arse. Enough said. - AD to Zen converting ratio - Zen is that "real money" currency of NW. And while gathering AD to exchange for Vip(1k Zen - 500k AD) is not that big of an issue, trying to get AD to buy Zen while also managing your characters equipment is. Artifact here, refinement stones there, goodbye 120k AD here. - Outdated graphics - we're in 2017, yet graphics sometimes feel like a 2012 game. It doesn't look bad, it had actually aged quite well, but I think devs should consider making some upgrades here and there. - Character development (sad part) - boons from campaigns are a double edged sword. They greatly increase character capabilities, but good luck getting most of them. Some of them are after huge timegates(ToD, Dread Ring, Underdark) and others are just annoying to start with(Icewind Dale, fuck you). My final mark would be somewhere around 7 or 8 out of 10. It's definitely a game worth at least trying out.

First Review ever... PPlayed this game when first came out was great and loved the Pvp and didnt need to spend much money to be competative... Now a total cash grab dont expect to be a great PvP setting without spending at least $1500 on gems artifacts and the whole lot to be anywhere near topp teir! Real shame was a great game that has been totally ruined... sad to see what it has become stop being so greedy ARC!

I made a purchase on Neverwinter on the undersatnding that I would receive a "First Time Buyer's Pack" The text on screen says (accessed by presing Alt then "Y" [Zen Market]) "You will receive this item through in-game mail after transfering at least 500 Zen to your account" (I transfered 1000 Yen through steam wallet) Then when I make an in game ticket the company says it does not apply to Steam transactions. Which they never told me in the first place. Then they tell me if I want a refund go to Steam. To be honset I think this company is deliberately scammig Steam users.
