NeverWinter

Linken · 7 Dec 2012 at 15:07

I've been interested in the new NeverWinter game coming up and I pre-ordered TorchLight 2 for Beta Access to the game, and it looks like the game is in Beta now and I don't have a key.

For those interested the home page is here:

And here's some gameplay footage:

And the link to beta access for people interested:

Just wondered if anyone else following this game is in Beta or not, I'll be quite disappointed if I wasn't able to get in

Video actually looks pretty good, only watched it at work so couldnt have the audio on or have a proper look but looks cool.

When this was first announced was excited for it, but then heard a lot of negative things so good to see something that looks decent.

Registered a while back also, never gotten an invite to Beta either, i have Torchlight2 also however i never pre-ordered that.

WRU Beta!?!

I was quite excited about this then hopes of a NWN3 got dashed. Im sure it will be ok but no nwn3. Then i heard that a nwn3 is in the making, got very excited again.

I cant find anywhere that says CBT is now running for NW?

Usually promotions that guarantee you beta access like that are for an unspecified stage, normally towards the end of the beta.

I thought this was "nwn3"?

So who is making this new NWN3 bushmins? Would be interested to look into that too, love isometric RPG's.

I was excited when this was just a co-op NWN game, then I heard it was changed (very late in the day by the new 'owners' ) to be a MMO and got very sad. I'm still not sure what to think

. I do like how the Foundry is shaping up by all accounts, that sounds like a very cool feature.

Was under the impression there is no 'NWN3' game though?

Greenja · 7 Dec 2012 at 16:23

Edit: NVM, it is now an MMO... lame. Not as excited at all now!

If anyone has a spare key, i'd love to have a go!

Huge neverwinter fan

I'm sure i read somewhere that a pre-order special edition which allows you to have a Drow character is $200.... Makes the new Sim City edition look cheap!

All i heard was that one of my old nwn buddies saw an alpha for nwn3 at GenCon (what ever that is). I asked him if it was this neverwinter tosh and he said it was definatally neverwinter nights.

I hope that neverwinter will be great but it looks to be button mashing.

I'm usually one to give MMO's a chance, rather than label it instantly generic and dull... But, from the gameplay, this looks as generic and dull as they come.

bushmins · 7 Feb 2013 at 11:21

Something that made nwn online pw's so great was the fact that dying actually ment something. XP loss, maybe even a lvl lossed and it took ages to get that xp back, that really get the blood pumping when you get yourself into a tricky situation. Its all been removed in current online games and makes them dull and unexciting. Because of this the nwn online community was far more mature than todays mmos.

In face PoE is the only game that has got my heart rate up like in the old nwn days. Not because you loose xp but because if you run around like a nut job you die and it can take ages to get back to where you were, unless of course you have an ubandance of portal scrolls to set up.

The downloaded for this weeks beta invites is such a load of crap, slowest thing I've ever seen since dial up.

almost 24 hours on and only at 43%.

If anyone wants guaranteed beta follow this post here: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/378236/page/1

Worked for everyone I know who has tried. Use the torrent it's quicker than the direct download.

This looks like what DAO2 could have been but this will be 1000x better
