Questionable Decision from Cryptic

[Ashvins]

So I haven't played this game since 2013. Upon character creation I was stunned to say the least that I had NO option on stats. I was assigned stats based on class and race.

UMM That's NOT D&D by any means, roll or build with points for stats yes. Assigned stats NO, Not happening. NEVER.

Example of this was the Dwarf Cleric with it's 2nd best stat being Intelligence at a 15.

I've played D&D since 1979, That's 43 years and in that time I have Never seen one cleric with an Int that high. Not with pen and paper or ANY OTHER D&D game are you ASSIGNED stats.

Want to know why the game is getting worse and worse reviews, This change is part of it. The pay to play is the biggest part but I won't even attempt this game without the option to create a Fighter that could discuss string theory with a physicist, or a cleric who is blinded by his faith so much it gives him a low Int, Or a clumsy Mage.

They removed the individuality from the game, in 2013 when launched you had those options now without those "stat" options every character is a sugar cookie with different frosting. No Oatmeal raisin, no chocolate chip, no options. Terrible decision I WILL NOT even create a character with out the option to personalize it thru his or her stats.

The Steam review system is hot garbage and a disservice to the gaming industry.

Thats one of the many reasons I gave up after mod 15 (loving the game up till then) and went to DDO where you have total control of character development

Noooo they didn't. Cryptic was owned by PWE. Embracer bought PWE and merged it with Gearbox that they already owned.

they cut accounts to 3 toons , you have to purchase extra slots , in 2015 they deleted my 2 top beta toons , i had 5 mage, and rogue got deleted , no sorry or anything lol but atleast they told me they deleted them . they answer the support tickets or chat anyway .

Neverwinter may have been good at launch, but now it's garbage.

I remember a few bad updates by the developers that ruined the game for me:

- when they removed player-created content (forge or whatever it was called)
- when they made difficulty of mobs when leveling so high that it forces you to realize how weak you are so you need to spend real money just to be able to level up, making the game more corrupt than P2W, literally P2P except you don't pay an entry fee, but you realize you can't do the most basic things in the game without spending money
- when they made the level cap 20 to pretend like this POS trash is D&D and removed some of the zones that were required for leveling


If you want to play a more authentic D&D experience, play Dungeons & Dragons Online, not this crap.

Games hot garbage now. Used to be a fun and well constructed game. But, they decided level 20 was a cap and basically just playing for Ilvl, well whoopie, I hadnt played for like 4-5 years and come back, my char is max level, i had so much currency i bought all my ilvl ♥♥♥♥ and it was just crapola... Not even worth the time downloading, luckily I dont live in US or EU with bad internet... 6gbps saved me from wasting more time.

uh, child, i think you should know you definitely allocate stats in neverwinter when you level up.

sperging over a game you know nothing about and havent played in 10 years, is dramatic to say the least..
