[Neverwinter] The Foundry?
« on: June 27, 2014, 05:40:03 am »
I was bored and just started going around and looking at the mmorpg sites which I have not done in a long time to be honest. (Ok so a VERY LONG time)

I came across Neverwinter on Arc Games and saw something called The Foundry. Dug a little deeper and as I was reading it pretty much gives you everything the developers use to create the world except it is part of the game. You make your own maps/quests and what have you and other players can then go and play/review it.

I was thinking to myself (isn't that what I am trying to do with wow atm?) lol....

I am downloading it right now just for that sole reason of being able to make my own content but I also wanted to ask if anybody here has ever used/played it before that could give a little idea about it?

Cause from what I can tell that is just bloody awesome in my book.

i play neverwinter alot and i have to say that The Foundry is a good damn "invention". You have but a limit of used objects (500 i think), but yeah. you can create your own quest-series and also maps.

The background is that the main content of Neverwinter not long enough is (technically 60 hours and you on the highest level of the game with a good gear) and they created the Foundry. People can make their own questseries to entertain the users and i have to say ... many quest are epic as fuck, i never played a lot of questseries in an MMO but this is really awesome. Many quest are very hardly but it exist simple quest like "kill that" or "bring me that".

And yeah i think the developer make it to avoid modelchange or exploits for gauntlygrym (pvp area), or just want to be special or what ever. i like the idea! i mean it's like the G.E.C.K. from Fallout 3 / F:New Vegas.

For roleplay it is perfectly, a german roleplay group make their own area's like we in noggit.

Star Trek Online has it too. It's a very interesting concept.

It’s really cool that games are doing this, but the thing that has me coming back to customize WoW despite customization being a real pain is the game’s art style, combat feel, etc. It just feels “right” and I have yet to find another game that hits the spot as well.
