Fair enough. I'm not the most active MMO player, until they go F2P.

Seems like adding someone to a friends list means you need their login handle in addition to character name, too? Maybe. I dunno. I sent a friends request to Andrul, hopefully. I'm Iados on Mindflayer.

Cool. What class? I have a guardian fighter and a cleric.

Tiefling wizard. I was playing around with a rogue for a little bit, too, but I love me some ranged attacks of a wizard.

Downloading it now. I'll jump on Mindflayer once I get a chance.

Make a guardian fighter to keep the baddies off us squishies! Healing seems to be a bit easier than in DDO.

Do they have Wardens? I love me some Wardens. Loved that class.

I downloaded it overnight and just launched it aaaaaaaaaand it's patching. Time to go do something productive.

Made a dwarf fighter. I'm still running around town doing little quests. I have to say that the graphics are pretty good for beta. Combat is much more active than most MMOs. I love being able to stick my shield up and fully block attacks. Having an active defense is much more interesting than grabbing items to build up a slew of passive defenses that are just numbers on the in game character sheet. I like flanking being included and I really want to see the damage a rogue can do flanking. I think Elm will be installing it and seeing how it works.

How does grouping work? Level limitations? Quest sharing? Etc?

I don't know. Are you on now? What's your character and login?
Seems to be patching every 2 or 3 days. Which could be a positive sign.

It patches as I play which is nice but I lost the ability to left click the mouse just in the game so I quit due to the lack of my best at will.

On mindflayer server as Gorefist Bloodmaul, largest and widest dwarf possible in avatar generator. Only 5th level. Liking the very visual leveling options... Still getting used to locked target reticle instead of a floating mouse arrow.

Finally figured out why I couldn't log in unless I used my email address- because I didn't have the right log in name! Yeah, that helps. Anyway, Iados@fiannar (it's a capital I, not a lower case L) or Talyn@fiannar. Iados is an 8th level wizard, and Talyn's a 4th level cleric I started up to play with a friend in Chicago.

I am celindre@andrul and hargrim@andrul or is it @graek? I'm not sure because PWE did some weird stuff with my account. Celindre is a level 14 cleric and Hargrim is a level 13 guardian fighter.

Okay, my handle is @graek even though I use andrul as my login name. It's PWE's fault. No, really. It's their fault, it got messed up when PWE decided to merge all accounts on different games into one account.

i was mistaken, Celindre was only level 13. So I raised him to 16.

I'll say this about the game. The devs are releasing patches about every other day so they're obviously looking at the bugs and fixing them before leaving beta.

It seems like occasionally I'll get small file updates during scene loading, too. Interesting.

Ran a couple of solo dungeons in a party with a friend. Game doesn't seem to be set up to split party loot in such situations, so we did it all manually. We'll see how later things are set up.

I was assuming coins were split because the items triggered a lottery where you select to take the item by greed, need or don't want.

Looks like the scaling isnt in favor to low level characters. Went in a foundry quest with andrul and our 11th levels were fighting level 20s.

Actually, I take back what I said about coins. I guess I just wasn't paying attention. ~shrugs~ Which works out well, we've been enjoying playing through some of the early dungeons.

LGM: I'd like to try it with with one of you entering first to see if it scales to you. If so it'll be a walk in the park on a sunny afternoon.
Also, with them scaling to me you should have gotten loads of xp :D

This is kind of cool. If you login at http://gateway.playneverwinter.com you can access your character's professions and manage assignments while not logged into the game. Kind of handy.

Added Hargrim's sheet

All big MMOs I've played always had a web character available of some sort. LOTRO seemed to have the best implementation as of a year ago or so.

Also, the game does scale up the event/dungeon/foundry to the highest party level member. Great for experience except as a fighter I died often. It's not as much fun dying, running back after burning consumables to fix broken body parts, jump back into fight and die again.. rinse/repeat. The fun thing of the game is the action orientated fighting. It's half an action game which is why I really like it. The user made quests are fun. I ran one by myself to see how they are and it was quite cool. Good rating system and comment sections.
What I enjoy is an event every hour or half hour. They have incentive to get off the quests and go do something else. With a wizard I've been running solo, I don't want to follow the same starting path so I'm doing the quests until I got an extra bag and then switched to user dungeons/stories as well as the other non-quest content. I like the variation.

It's too bad they've been down for the past 9 hours for "extended maintenance".

*sigh* The end result of their extended maintenance is my cleric almost 4 levels because they restored from backup.

Definitely in beta. At least the quests you completely can be done again to rush you back up those 4 levels... maybe?
