Neverwinter just launched it’s open beta and – like most popular launches – server issues and long queues abound. So is it worth actually making the effort to get in right now?
Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.
The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”
"Cryptic Studios and Gearbox Publishing are today very happy and excited to announce that "Neverwinter: Menzoberranzan" (Neverwinter’s 25th module) is now available for PC (via Steam), Xbox (via the Microsoft, and Playstation via digital stores (as announced at Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons Direct 2023 showcase)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's for that online game, correct? I always wanted to see the drows home from Drizzt's books, I've read those years ago, but I never could fully imagine it from text alone. Looks a bit bright compared to what I remember how it was described, but I'm guessing that's for gameplay reasons.
Most PWE games are "Borderline Pay to Win" sadly. Given that NW said to be soft launching(due to budget) its only a matter of time before PWE destroys the game with a unbalance cash shop just to make $$$.
Given the MMOs that are suppose to come out this year PWE will have tough time. They already are having a tough time with RaiderZ. Diago and Chimera servers isn't as populated as it used to be.
Yes it is. I'm having a blast so far. It isn't "pay to win" but it is definitely "pay for convenience." The "Foundry" (user made/submitted quests) is an awesome feature!
