Neverwinter First Impressions!

Hey guys,
Currently I have a level 25 Trickster Rouge.
Three things I want to mention before I go into detail.
1. The game is in BETA. (don't expect anything)
2. Exploits are currently having their way with the currencies in game; Astral Diamonds, Gold, and Zen.
3. This game is completely FREE. Yet there is end-game items able to be bought with REAL MONEY (pay-to-win trolls engage)

Starting out

As soon as I logged in I could tell that the graphics were ABOVE AVERAGE. But of course I'm stuck on low settings and I do lag in graphically intense areas (cities, battlegrounds, boss fights) so I would suggest you have a decent computer before you play if you want the full experience. I'm going to briefly go over the races because the choice in races in this game is almost irrelevant. Though the modifiers are IMPORTANT, you DO NOT have to pick Tiefling because you want to play the Control Wizard and they have the Intel modifiers.

1. Human (+2 to any ability score)
2. Elf (+2 to Dex, +2 Intel or Wis)
3. Dwarf (+2 Cons, +2 Str or Wis)
4. Tiefling (+2 Char, +2 Cons or Intel)
5. Halfling (+2 Dex, +2 Char or Cons)
6. Half Elf (ME) (+2 Dex, +2 Cons or Char)
7. Half Orc (+2 Dex, +2 Con or Str)

The class system in Neverwinter is pretty unique, yes it DOES revolve around the trinity system (tank, healer, DPS) but you really dont have to follow it. I'll cover that in a little more detail below.

Current Free Champions (I realize it's late)



I'm back!

Hey guys!

Sorry for not posting in awhile, school had me tied up but now thats it's summer im going to start the blog again! I probably could've kept the blog going but I wasn't playing as much so I feel like I would be teaching things that aren't necessarily the best or new. 

I've been playing a lot recently and the game has completely changed. I wouldn't say that the blog is not out of date to the point that it isn't useful. So feel free to view old posts. But from this point on I will be designing and updating the blog everyday. 

Another thing,  ANOTHER BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

I will be featuring another game on the blog too this summer. I have a feeling the second game will be an MMORPG but it will be constantly changing due to the inconsistance of MMOs at this time. Right now, I'm playing NEVERWINTER, a Dungeons&Dragons game made by Cryptic Studios who is owned by Perfect World. Its kind of a sequel to the traditional Neverwinter Nights series as it is heavily influenced by it.  

ONE MORE THING! LIVESTREAM!

My brother, who will probably be playing with me often will have a stream up most of the time, I'll post a link when I get home, im currently at school for the LAST week!

Thanks guys
