Review the Neverwinter MMO for me!

Shirts and pants are basically the items that you craft to use.

Many of my characters are running around without one or both of those items altogether.  The bonuses they give seem rather tiny and you can't disable their appearance like you can with helmets.

Be nice if there was an accompanying app you could buy/sub to, for auction house and crafting out-of-game. I'd be on that like white on rice. I am obsessed with my WoW app, frinstance, which allows me to talk to my guild and check on my auctions.

I thought they had an app for the gateway in addition to the normal web access point.  Maybe I'm thinking of something else, though.

They do, it's a mobile-friendly web site at http://gateway.playneverwinter.com that will allow you to do crafting, interact with the auction house, see your character stats, etc. without having to load up the client.

So...  Want to join our guild?

Slow down there, cowboy.  That sounds a little too social for me. 

[Tenzhi]

Speaking of guilds, I'm annoyed at how you start them.  You have to have a full party of five.  Normally, my friends and I would have a small guild made up of our various characters, but it's impossible.

Well, there went all my free time

It's slightly irritating in that what you can't do is purchase the consumables you need from the vendor, so if you need more charcoal/salt etc, you have to buy it off the AH (you're stuffed atm) or log into the game and the interface is a bit clunky (doesn't keep your place in the list unlike in game), but apart from that it's very useful.

Ya it would be nice if you could buy that stuff.  I also once spent about 100k AD on rushing an upgrade for my companion assets when trying to just see how much it would be.  But it is super nice to have around.

  They get slightly better when you start crafting blue/green versions of them.  Still nothing huge but its better then nothing.  Although I found some nice blue pants off of a Dungeon Delve chest.  Also some apparently just don't show up visually so you could find some like that.

And does everyone here know about the CoX channel? It's a global channel across all 3 Cryptic games for City of Heroes refugees. I replaced Zone chat with it. The conversation there is generally friendly (better than Zone chat certainly), sometimes we have arguments but then we hug afterwards. 

Cape Radio also has a channel.

Anyone here can add me as a friend if you want.

My global is @Captain-Electric

Pretty shocking huh?!

By the way for those of you just now looking at Gateway, the AH isn't working at the moment, they are fixing a bug that popped up Sunday. The Astral Diamond/Zen exchange is also down because of the same bug.

Also by the way, there is an Auctioneer at the Seven Suns Coster Market in Protector's Enclave that will actually dig through the AH for you and recommend nice gear you might want.

[0nehanklap]

I dont like the game too much. I think only one kind of clothing is very bad.
I cant understand why you all like this, comming from the CoX Char generator. Char generation at CO and even STO has more options.

...Lydia Frost MM

I feel much the same way as far as clothing, and teaming is nowhere near the coh level of polish.  Still, it's a pretty game, and has an oddly enjoyable combat style.   I can see clothing improving as the game ages:  the appearance option on most items allows for a pretty good variety already.  I was running in pretty drab looking armor that I'd already enhanced for power - then found the "Bloodscar Armor" and realized that for a few AD I could sacrifice the bloodscar & overlay that appearance onto my own armor, then add some dye to make a decent custom appearance... So as more armors get added to the game, more costume options will be available.  Not a bad system, although not fully customizable.  I can't make my Full Plate Armor look like a chainmail bikini, but within same-types, overlays are a good compromise.

Is there some way to bring up the Auction House that doesn't do that?  I see that every time I try to open the interface.

Well you can either go to the AH, or you can hit the "buy similar" button on that screen to get at the AH.

I always end up hitting the "buy similar" button to get to the interface.  Didn't see a separate Auction House on the map.  I'll have to look for that next time I log in.

Of course it's not working atm, but it's behind and below the mailman.

AHHHH-ha, yeah, I think you're mistaking the Auctioneer for the actual Auction House. Now that I think about it, I bet a lot of people do that. I'm pretty sure I'd have done it too if I had stumbled across the Auctioneer first.

Like Minotaur said, the Auction House (it's actually not a house, but an open-air stage on a platform ) is behind the postal clerk, and down the steps. You can't miss it, there's always a big crowd over there--well, maybe not right now, but you get my drift.

It's actually a bad idea to do all your shopping through the Auctioneer exclusively. He's not going to list everything you might find practical (or just fun) from the Auction House. He also doesn't list every category of purchasable goods. And much of what he does list, you'll have the opportunity to earn shortly through gameplay anyway. I can't dispute that the Auctioneer is a useful NPC, but while I do check in on him from time to time, I have not actually bought anything from him yet.

I held off on even visiting the Auction House until I'd had some adventures in the Tower District. It's an important feature, but shouldn't be a priority while you're first learning the game. In fact, a lot of people skip right past the NPC gear vendors where you can buy stuff with gold, which is a mistake in my opinion.

Some of that gear is actually pretty decent. My solo Cloak Tower escapade was insanely difficult and long (and FUN, I never got bored but still, I doubt I will ever put myself through that again), but I never died once, and I did it all with gold-bought gear, except for a Graycloak's Legacy sword and insignia, and I went through about 100 health stones from one of the founder packs  . I'm sure some min-maxing, twinked-out powergamer could have soloed it in a couple of hours. But the point is, it was doable.

[eabrace]

I'm just about done with Neverdeath at this point, but I'm not finding that I need anything more than what I've had dropped for me as far as equipment goes.  I've been selling some of my drops, but haven't actually bought anything.

[Aggelakis]

I just hit level 19 (and still have quests left, no content wall as of yet) on my cleric (of course I made a cleric) and I've only died once - geared only in quest/drop whites/greens. Haven't really found anything that can overcome my heals/damage output unless I jumble too many groups together (which is where my single death came from).

[healix]

I have to say that this game is at least holding my interest, and has a little 'City' feel to it. Still getting used to the controls, but they are WAY better than in games I tried and uninstalled. (Rift, Last Chaos and CO.) This will keep me bust until Elderscrolls Online goes live. THAT is the one I will probably really want to get into. I loved all my Morrowind and Oblivion adventures and always wished that it would become an MMO.
