Very Strong Rumors About NWN3 - By Atari...

[Legacy_TMZuk]

               And who'd play it?



The usual kids who can't write but prefer "R U.." to initiate dialogues. It will be so much better than NWN1 PW's yes. And then you get to pay per month, so that you can be sure you'll never be banned, no matter how many server-rules you break, because who wants to loose a paying customer? Yes, MMO's are awesome... in all the wrong ways.

Way to go with ruining it Atari.

How's that saying go...? 

Stick to doing what you know and do well.

               I’m with you folks on this one.  The only reason I came back to NWN is the ability to build/script/write a story of my own.  As mentioned, a MMO won’t let you do that.  So in all likelihood, I will be playing NWN1 instead.



Also, if the rumors about Cryptic building it are true…  Well I’m not hopeful of a good outcome to say the least.



I hope they figure it out, but they probably won’t.  Let’s just hope the master server stays up, or can be replaced somehow by the community.

               So, a co-op RPG called Neverwinter, using 4th edition rules and has a system that allows players to build their own content. An exclusive Q&A with Cryptic: interview

edit. only five classes: Fighter, Wizard, Ranger, Rogue and Cleric?

               Now that was a link worth waiting for! Hmmm, they say it's not a mmo but an OMG? In my language, with the developer concerned and 4th ed rules that translates to Oh My God NO!!!!

               My ears perked up at that, although I'll admit I'm dubious. It sounds like a cross between Guild Wars and DDO, and I think it's a bad move for them to make it "harder" to solo. Surely a better approach would be recruitable henchmen (similar to the original NWN or the upcoming TOR) or to make it a bit easier, although the rewards would be less? So say you got a Longsword +3 as a reward for grouping, if you solo'd you'd get a +2 or +1?

I'm not too bothered about the five classes so far as long as we get Halflings as a race(What? I want a Halfling Rogue!). They've said Human, Elf and Dwarf so far, so I would guess that they'll add Halflings, Half-Orcs and possibly Half-Elves before it goes live. I don't think making ones like Yuan-Ti Pureblood, Tieflings, Gnomes etc as DLC/Unlockables/Expansion Races would be too bad.

Well, on one hand it's nice they're starting to talk about it.

On the other hand, I still don't see anything that grabs my interest.  It sounds a lot like something which will be very similar to Diablo in nature.

               Add me to the list of people who're highly dubious about this being even remotely good enough and versatile enough to challenge NWN. It'll be interesting to watch it develop, if nothing else.

               Can't we at least hope for something good here?

Just because they use the word MMO doesn't mean it has to be like the other mainstream crap.

This is probably not a console game also...so that bodes good in itself.

Just imagine an improved NWN1 but with many proffessional (company) controlled "PW's" and perhaps even private PW's with dungeonsmaster client and everything. Why not? So far...the opposite has not been said.

I don't WANT company controlled PW's. It's a horrible idea. I don't want political correctness, silly kids, crafting, hack'n slash and all the other trope that is making each and every MMO worthless as an RP experience. I don't want to pay to play a game I already own.

NWN's major force is that everyone can design a PW as they see fit, attract the sort of players they want, and ban everyone they do not want. As soon as it is commercial, it'll all be about getting numbers.

               Has anyone here ever played a Cryptic game?

Is the master server suppose to go down for some reason?  (Like permanently speaking)

               Well, add me to the list (of which I appear to be the sole member, actually, hee hee) of folks who'll watch this game before I close my eyes to it. New things do get created, and I kind of like the sound of some of the stuff they're saying. It really matches some of the stuff I've been saying for a long time regarding the 'standard' MMO paradigm.

Not to my knowledge, but it is a potental tactic.  Probably a very foolish one though.
