    further impressions :

    healing sucks ass
    try aiming for the one person in your 5 man group thats low when there are ~500 mobs swarming you (because aggro is an issue as healer)
    you have no chance when all your team is melee, standing in one spot
    so, maybe you will heal later on with only aoe heals. but right now my strongest heal is my hot

    all in all, the game is still good, but healing killed it for me =(

    yeah healing at low levels (i'm 23 atm) is pretty dire... is there any way to target group members via hotkey?

    Enjoying this game so far, great game to play with old MMO buddies if anyone has them. There are a few things I don't like from a player/artist standpoint but its nothing I can't look past.

    Ctrl locks the target. So aim and Ctrl should resolve many issues for you.

    I know this because its the same button I have to push to talk on TS3. :(

    Currently: I do regret spending 50 to get into closed beta and then 200 for early access in open beta. Reason being, it wasnt really worth it. The Draw faces are soo squished its not even funny. I really like the spider mount and the initial set that you get as a founder with 2mil AD. I dont think there is a lore (lore questline) for Draw in this game early on (Or even later.) Every race starts at the same place with the same tutorial quests and ends up in Protector's Enclave.

    Bottom line, I love the game still, but I am done spending money on it.

    I dont think the Deity you choose to follow does give you a unique power of skill to be used in a combat(although I have to check up on that.) The pvp is fun but mages are OP so if you are TR or any melee class, then you are screwed. Every now and then when I am in an instance, I fall off the map and then I have to kill myself to get back on the map.

    Damn dude, you dropped $250 on a single game before it's even released?

    So I played it for about 20 minutes at lunch today, overall I had fun and thought it was cool! If I could use a 360 controller I think it'd be perfect.

    Pros:
    -Easy to fight, fluid
    -Creating a character felt "epic," which is cool because usually it's a boring process, lots of cool sounds and stuff that felt good
    -I love that I can spam 1 and skip dialogue and accept quests all at the same time, I just mash 1 and I can keep progressing, I love not being hindered when all I wanna do is play

    Cons:
    -Control felt a little wonky with keyboard & mouse, I'd prefer to use a 360 controller
    -Targeting is also difficult, I would prefer CTRL to be tap-to-lock, not hold-to-lock
    -Facial animation was.... comical and not so good. When it zooms in on a character for quest dialogue, the facial movements left everything to be desired, I would have preferred them to not even move


    Overall I was pleasantly surprised. If I hook up my PC to my TV and play with a 360 controller, I could see myself playing this!

    Isaiah - I found similar things to what you already said, it was almost as if the character artists were asked to rack out some quick rig's/animations for the characters, even if they had no prior rigging experience :D

    Having said that it is damn addictive, I'd say if you're working on your portfolio then avoid this for a while, its hard to resist the temptation to login!

    Is it true all the high level gear is bind on equip / purchasable in the store (or you buy the gold to use in the AH)? Everything Ive heard about it says its pay 2 win, where you`ll just be farming the AH, rather than getting your own gear, like diablo 3. Kind of disappointing. If this is the case, I`ll just wait for Wild Star to get my soft targetting mmo fix. all loot heavy games require bind on acquire items....

    I can't tell you things.

    But I can point at this page http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Gauntlgrym

    And helpfully remind that open beta does not always equal the final game...

    I gave it a shot... and I think the over all tone of the game is dnd enough, but good god are the character models embarrassing. I'm seeing more wrong than right with the game at the moment. The gameplay isnt horrible and the artist tone are satisfactory, the tone and mood did impress though. I just cant see enough quality in the game to warrant more gameplay atm.
