Torrent can be slow if everybody is downloading but not sharing, still only using very few sources to seed from.
I never found the GWF sucking, but it did feel a bit rought around lvl 10-15. But after that I picked up some key abilities and the healer companion and it's close to easy mode. Haven't played any other class though, so it's possible it's completely useless compared to them. But I love it.
I know this is gushing.. But they did so much that is right with this game. It's not perfect. Nothing has been so far, but there are so many -little- things they did right.
You are right, I was concerned when I played the beta weekend. However, the more I get into it, the more I see the stuff that is in the game already I see a great future. On top of the game itself, the foundry is something that fits SO well with D&D and I cannot wait to see what the community can come up with. I do hope they expand the foundry more then what is already there, which I hear they will.
I just can't get over how wonderful http://gateway.playneverwinter.com/ is. You can log on there and access your actions, profession and mail without having to start the game. So nice to start up new profession mission without having to be at the computer.
Depending on time I should be able to help. If I'm online on TS (even if it's in the afk channel) just toss me a poke and I'll log on.
I'm currently checking some trickster rogue gameplay on YT, I might just join you guys on mindflayer ^^.
I will be online tonight, already went yesterday to level 13 and found crafting Very cool system. Only this parallel money with Gold, Astral Diamands and Zen is bothering...
Yeah idd, I just found out that they changed it from being able to switch which skills you want active to having to respec, and respec costs real money since you have to buy respec with zen. Suddenly I'm much less interested in playing, but I think I might give it a shot.
