^Not to my knowledge.
They are also still at closed beta anyway.

Have they announced an actual release date yet?

Looks like the target is late March or early April (given the Beta schedule).

So.. did you guys notice anything exceptional in your brief time with it?

Tpek · April 29, 2013, 12:03:43 PM

With the game being officially launched to the general public in a day or so. Who is going to get in? :)

I've already got 5 toons there (spread across the 3 main servers) right now since I'm a founder. :P

What's your take on it so far? I gather you must be enjoying it at least reasonably well, but any specific thoughts?

It's pretty kick ass.

Hrmm.

I'll have to check it out! After the first couple days of inevitable server overload. ;)

Who are you in the game?

My main toon is Avaddon, a 27 level Guardian Fighter :)

If anyone else is downloading this today, I suggest getting it from Gamershell or one of the other two direct download sites. The torrent is swamped with downloaders.

After looking at the classes on the wiki, I see that the class abilities are named after those in the tile-based D&D board games. ???

Now my curiosity is piqued. The wiki also says that Open Beta starts on April 30th (tomorrow) so I'm guessing there'll be a character wipe at some point in the future?

EDIT:

Nevermind... found the announcement here: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?117801-Neverwinter-Open-Beta-begins-April-30-2013!

No more wipes after April 25th.

Think I may buy into the cheaper founder's pack if it has extra bag & character slots, etc.

My time in beta was a little "meh," but I think it has potential for being a great action and casual MMORPG. I'm also very interested in the Foundry!

Well it's not issue free. There are some annoying bugs like one of the party required dungeons not giving out loot upon completion. There is also an annoying graphics glitch on my powers screen that makes it hard to read and click on three of the powers. However it's actually one of the smoother releases of an MMO. Hopefully that holds true when the servers are slammed on the first day open to the non-preordering public. I'm a little pissed that the Hero and starter packs get a bag of holding but the guardian pack didn't get one. Talk about f'n lame. Also there are no bag drops in game, so you are forced to buying one off of the zen market if you want more than 2 bags. But all that being said I'm really having a good time.

Pretty action-y.

Dunno how deep everything can get, however.

edit: I'm playing on the Mindflayer server. Anyone else?

Bison · April 29, 2013, 07:13:12 PM

My MMO guild is on Dragon.

The one thing that really attracts me to this game is the idea of the Foundry. I could see myself having more fun creating adventures than actually playing the game.

This is what's tempting me to shell out the $60. Its something that would keep me occupied when I get tired of the MMO grind and the other players. I prefer to DM than be a player most times, anyway. I almost bought it this weekend, but bought two other games, and my wife will waterboard me if I go too far overboard.
