Heroes of Neverwinter

[Stinger]

I'm playing it now in the office. yay!

Fuck. This game turn based takes too long for office alt tab adventures . Goddamn, my boss nearly caught sight of it!

'Steve, what are you doing?'

'Uh...updating the company's facebook!'

'Oh, carry on.'

I played it. Had to make a dummy facebook account to play it.

Didn't spend any micro monies on it and my character is max level. So if you need to do that, well you must be terrible. The optional pay structure means that this is one of the rare rpgs where the economy is not drastically swung in your favor and you actually have to pay your companions to risk their lives for you.

Opportunity attacks and friendly fire would have made the game a lot more enjoyable.

I disagree with the assertion that rogues are useless. They have high movement which lets them stun/daze essentially any target on the battlefield, taking them out of the fight for 4 or 5 turns. Essentially, a dodge or die ability.

Fighters were the ones that seemed useless to me. Compared to a rogue they have weaker CC, lower initiative, lower speed, lower damage, no lockpicking, and a small self-heal.

Rogues do more damage than fighters, even without sneak attack?

Does it work that way in the real D&D 4E?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Probably. 4th ed is kind of based on MMOs and a rogue's primary function in those is of damage dealer, while the warriors are mainly tanks.

From what I remember, sneak attack is what puts rogues ahead of fighters damage-wise in 4E. In the facebook game, they have items like off-hands that add ongoing poison damage.

Try reading it again when the drugs wear off.

Talking about free to play D&D games: Brace yourselves for impending decline, BROs.

The upcoming Neverwinter MMO will adopt the f2p model. There goes the last bit of hope for this title

The developer says Neverwinter will be closer to a game like Nexon's Vindictus, where combat is controlled by mouse clicks, and where pattern recognition and reflexes are the keys to successfully murdering hordes of monsters.

 

[RK47]

I never place much hope on MMOs those who do so are in for a life of eternal disappointment.

It's not called NWN 3 for a reason.

I am really not sure why fighters should have lockpicking or self heal... Only rogue should have lockpicking its a fucking class skill so why da fuck do you list it? Compared to mages you would writte that they cant cast spells?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Those are some long-lasting drugs

What J1M meant is that since rogues have better CC, initiative and damge, plus lockpiciking, warriors seem useless. The warrior does have self heal but it's small and as such rogues still sound way better.

I don't have a facebook, and I never will.

Same here. Facebook can go down in flames for all I care.

Well duh the warrior is supposed to grab aggro and then the priest heals him.

What kind of popamole MMO are you playing where you can damage heal and lockpick with your warrior? Lol.
