I may have to download this since it is free after all.It would give me some thing to play on the PS4.
Give it a shot. Its really fun, and it doesn't feel "pay to win" at all.
Your gear is constantly improving just from the loot that's dropped. You get mounts, weapons, upgrades, etc just from questing.
Honestly, about the only thing I felt the need to spend real money on was a greater bag of holding.
The environments and atmosphere are excellent.
My only real complaints are the frame rate takes a noticeable hit in the city. And I think there are too many in game currencies.
Does neverwinter have micro transactions ? That's often the catch to free to play mmo.
Yes it does have microtransactions, but nothing that is mandatory or unobtainable by questing.
Like I said, there is loot a plenty, and your gear is constantly improving. I haven't felt the need to buy anything, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the game.
The only thing that can be frustrating is inventory management. You feel constrained fairly early, but there are quests that provide an additional bag.
Honestly I've enjoyed the game so much, and still have tons of content left to play through, I wouldn't mind dropping some money to support the game.
