GWF is very weak early on from what I've read. It picks up 30+ and then really takes off 40+. Problem is you will take a lot of damage, so invest in potions. At 16 you get a companion, choose the Cleric. This will cut your downtime greatly.

Got too generic for me. The combat is a lil different but get's dull fast, might be different with other classes, but I just clicked whatever was not on cooldown, then spammed mouseclick. Pretty decent with a couple of friends however, and it has a couple of neat system but nothing groundbreaking.

I was hoping for a bit more D&D, and less generic fantasy mmo.

Hey guys I'm wondering something really simple. Is it wise to trade Astral Diamonds for Gold/Silver currency? There is a quest I'm doing where in the beginning of the map you get 2 free chests + 2 resource nodes so I keep exiting and re-entering to get the loot. I net about 2-3 Enchants + 2-3 unid greens every run so then it boils down to. Should I buy Scrolls to identify them?

Is there a specific server people are rolling on? I might try this one out.

I would say no; gold is almost completely useless compared to what AD is worth. Gold is only for mount (which isn't actually that useful) and potions. I feel like AD is way too important to use on ID scrolls, which drop quite often, given how AD is really the basic currency i.e. the auction house uses AD, not gold.

So is there an endgame to this, or is it actually more like D&D where leveling up/quests/player created content will be most of what you spend your time doing? I don't really want to play WoW again but the idea of player created content really excites me and I'm probably going to give this game a shot just for that, am I going to be disappointed?

I have a group of people each playing one class, and honestly, we are mostly hoping for player made content rather then "end game". I remember how awesome NWN custom mods and campaigns were. I have no idea what will happen in the end ofc, but so far I didn't manage to play a single foundry quest or dungeon, can't wrestle with the UI.

It seems pretty friendly to me. I didn't know anything about the game and when I logged in a tutorial was like Push this button (L), and from there it was a list of recommended skirmishes, dungeons, and foundry quests I could do.

This game has pleasantly surprised me, it's seeming really polished for MMO standards so far. Definitely enjoying it.

Does anyone know where the severs are based geographically? I'm from Aus and east coast servers are unplayable for me

Is there a Paladin class? Or some Holy knight?

This game is a lot like skyrim but with good combat mechanics. The overall mechanics of the game seem really shallow, which is a big contrast to PoE which I was playing until recently. The mechanics of the game are also not transparent at all. Everything needs to be personally tested for you to get your information. This makes planning and player intelligence not much of a factor in the game.

The developer seem to have learned a lot from other mmos; a lot of the classic mistakes most MMO's make are not present. Camera movement and controls are crisp. I really like that.

I'm only level 20, so these are just first impressions. I don't think I will like the game overall because of the lack of depth. I like games where I can think and make strategies to come out ahead, like PoE and SC2.

There is a cleric, but I am pretty sure it is a pure holy caster / healer. There is a guardian and great weapon master but they do not have an association with any gods or "light".

I'm enjoying it so far as an MMO but it's way less DnD than I expected and hoped

I'm just loving the Professions tab, to a fault. It has me on OCD lockdown, I spend more time rotating my 3 slots than I do attempting to level and or otherwise.

Although now that I've experienced the game a bit more, I'm kind of seeing the "Pay to win" argument slowly coming to fruition. Mainly cause there is a limit to how many AD you can refine a day, so just buying 200K+ of them is insane. Would take you 10 days of refining rough diamonds at the cap of 20k. I'm having difficulties reaching 6-7k a day with all dailies.

That is all kinds of biased, with that mind frame I doubt it will be to your liking.

For the last time, you can play this game all you want and never feel hindered for not dipping into your pockets. Other players will not be "stronger" if they do and you don't. Just enjoy the setting, the crisp combat, and the overall feel of the game.

Crucial difference between PoE and NWO, you have to move away from the road sometimes.

Pretty awesome for a free game tbh, combat is admittedly pretty generic but its nice to have something to play around with in my free time.

Am I seriously the only one who can't even get past the create a username phase? Every possible username I can type in with 6 random numbers afterwards is said to be taken.
