Neverwinter Deception

Alright I have been playing this game since its release onto the xbox one as well as have friends who play/ have played on the PC version. The reason I am writing this review is to let people know how deceptive this company has been towards its players.
So before I get into detail on anything i want to take a moment to tell everyone that this is a first hand experience for myself and for my friends who are hardcore gamers.

The first point I want to touch on is the basics of the game things that should be right out in the open for how deceptive this company is. So they say that this game is a free to play but upon logging in everyday and even for brand new players the
first thing you see is a "news" pop up for the game now you might be thinking this isn't deceptive at all and your right its not deceptive but it is the first sign of this game being a cash grab because what is in their "news" pop-up is all stuff you can buy
to "make your experience better" with auto links to their zen market which is their premium currency. They literally shove this down your throat every time you change characters. Now you might be thinking this isn't but it does get annoying and can be overlooked.
Now if you have ever sat in Protectors Enclave you see very often in the chat there are people spamming links for third party websites to buy Astral Diamonds and Zen and other items cheaper then what you can get in game upon some research and some patience
i have noticed 2 things they DO NOT ban these people spamming the chats now your thinking well that is strange and your right now the research guess what its a third party website owned by the game!!! If you buy anything from these sites you get banned as
soon as they see it. Pretty crooked right? They tell you its against the rules and warn you but they Own the third party website so you are still buying from them yet they ban you For buying it.

The Second point is maybe a little more difficult to notice if you haven't been playing for a while. Each update they promise to make the game better and yet it always becomes worse. They take things away from us that make the game a little bit easier.
For instance there was a huge confrontation between players and Cryptic for taking items out of our tradebar store after making statements saying they were reducing the cost of them. Now you might say no big deal but this was a bait and switch tactic one of
the most undermining and dirty tactics that a company could have used against its own player base now in order to attain these tradebars you must buy with real money keys to open these boxes that give you a random reward and a number of tradebars. These keys
cost $1.25 USD per key now you could imagine that with them announce the reduced cost of preservation wards which are a 100% guarantee your upgrade to enchantments of all kinds and are needed for weapon and armor enchantments because they only offer a 1% chance
to upgrade. Now they announced with the release of Underdark (their most recent update/ expansion) that coalescent wards would be reduced from 200 TB to 75 TB. Now with this announcement people were buying zen and buying boxes for the tradebars so they can
get a lot. 30 minutes before they hit they button for us to get the update they decided to change their patch notes and removed coalescent wards completely and now you have to pay $10 per ward TEN FREAKING DOLLARS idk about you guys but that completely takes
away my experience because now if you want to max out a weapon or armor enchantment it will cost you in the market of $240 USD plus tax to get the 5 wards you will need. I don't know about you guys but i can think of a better way to spend $240 and tax THATS
4 NEW VIDEO GAMES. This game has become nothing more then a cash grab i know one thing is for sure i will not be playing this game as soon as DC Universe Online drops to Xbox One at least i know that game will be taken care of and they update their servers
unlike this game.

Final review of this game based on player treatment, playability, cost, content, this game gets a single star because it sucks i have had some many friends leave this game because of their dirty tactics and i will be shortly as well and before anyone
ways it free to play you gotta pay i have put money into this game but after seeing their treatment of players and how little they care about us i wont be putting any money in it anymore.

Well I guess we can give up. They just yanked wards from the PC side trade bar store too.

I guess they didnt get enough rage from the Xbox side of the house. Oh well.

 

Neverwinter Tradehouse Deception

Well still no climbdown from PWE the issue now is how much longer to give them before going back to the MS Store and requesting a refund for the the removal of paid for utility from my account without my agreement.

 

Listen to this guy, everything he has written is correct, dont believe the hype or spin or PR, MS seem to be hands off with this game so Caveat Emptor, get a different game, unless they fix the issues they have created, there are better places to spend your
time and your cash and you will have to spend cash to progress effectively believe the guys who tell you so.
