How high are the expectations and aspirations of the community of players of Neverwinter, beta already showed at the start of the open? Logon server was not reachable, the systems seemed hopelessly overloaded. It turned out that the Web server of the Launcher is not sufficient. Pretty quickly the bottleneck was expanded and the players flooded the game servers. Thanks to instantiate it wills however never too full in the zones, because the players are evenly distributed the instance, who together wants to go adventure with an acquaintance, can change of course at any time.

At the beginning is always the character generation and those who know the games of Cryptic Studios who knows that the character Editor is the industry normally among the best. With joy we think back to the superhero MMO champions online which must count today due to its abundance of options as a reference for excellent character editors. For Neverwinter, this element has been slimmed down a bit. Although still abundant for the proportions of the Alter Egos of the available options but the selection of hairstyles beards, or accessories is limited.

We believe in the faith cleric

A decent number of six races face a still sufficient number of five classes. We opted for an exotic Tiefling with devil horns and reddish skin coloration. But also classic humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings are available. The class was our choice on the faith cleric who shines not only with good healing abilities but also has excellent area spells. Other options would have been the classic tank alias guardian fighter damage dealer such as two hand fighter or trickster villain. Of course there are also magicians who are familiar with the elements. Other classes and races to follow in any case, there are already clear indications in the drop-down menu.

Actually, we were in the office agreed that the game is pronounced since there was really no discussion. The name is derived from the words for us and Age Line and will accordingly intone. This was fixed in stone, but only up to Games com 2012. There was an eye-opening experience with the developers from NC Soft.

It was the last appointment of the day. We should be added at the moment for the Asians to watch us play closer Sometime between 17 und 18 clocks. After a little small talk with the PR managers it was said: And now let’s see to. With us, perplexity was spreading. Which game was meant? We had no clue. A look at the presentation area brought enlightenment. So Lineage 2 is so pronounced.

In addition, you spend some time on the water and look for fish out that her then processed for your food. But cooking has to be learned, just that you can find various cookbooks in the game. There’s a reward for you buffs that are useful in combat. You will also find equipment with new items for your hero in Dragon Nest.

Before it goes in the action game in the first battle, first is the choice of character class. Who has the choice is all yours but in three classes both holding very limited. Too bad against other lovingly designed Arcane Legends characters we have nothing really. With the cute characters that we can admire from all sides convinced Arcane lying namely at first glance.

The three classes are the most common Warrior Rogue and Sorcerer. While the Warrior is an over sized muscleman with an even bigger sword and scores in close combat the quiet but sneaky thief is equipped with two equal arms. But to us at first glance the little blue cattle sympathetic a magician who looks just too weird to not select him.

What an Eye Candy!

We grab the little guy and still can spice according to taste it even. Hanging out tongue, huge rabbit ears yes it looks our dream guys but very similar. But what would an RPG be without a little companion that follows us at every turn? Again we find a small but fine selection of three completely different animals: Turtle with flags, panther or wolf.

With what we go out of it should be clear. Because of course we equip. Comic gnome from our with a matching turtle, thanks to the little flag on the tank whopping five percent more speed it has Does the turtle named Toad at least since we are still a little skeptical. That you will only succeed if it is happy. Of course now the strange animal is still therefore conditions and expectations ifs and buts. Each of the three animals gives us a certain bonus in the turtle we gain strength. Okay, now our adventure begins.

This is our battle turtle, a beauty!

Let’s hang the tongue, Gnome!

Evil monsters fall over the whole world here now it is our job to dislodge the invaders. We learn first of all to know Gustav, a bearded NPC who tells us to control our character. We leave our heroes by WASD waddle through the area with the other keys we call on the inventory or set a specific skill commands that are known from any RPG and not pose a major obstacle.

We find our way in no time. Then it shall be because in the first few seconds we have to fight a first opponent who comes storming out of a house and is not somehow disposed towards us so peaceful. A fireball here a ball of fire already there and the cattle is flat. So we like the start: first experiences of success after a few seconds are always welcome. And our companions the tortoise are finally on the move and bites the opponent in the shin.
