Any hints about when the next new class will arrive?

Hopefully a Warlock.

    They need to remove that coming soon from the class selection..

    It's been on there since December when I first started playing. THAT'S NOT soon.

    Most guesses are that the next module will be when they add a new class , whether it is Warlock or not is anybody's guess but it seems to be a good possibility with the gear already existing within the client as well as powers and a paragon path and even a class icon , to be honest I'd prefer Druid or whatever . So in answer to your question ,possibly around 4 months give or take.

    Module 4 will come with a new class which will most likely be the Warlock.

    ETA is 3-4 months

    I know this is off-topic, but are you sure it's anyone's guess? Last I heard, they were hard at work on both Warlock and Druid, and pretty much confirmed that one of those would be next. Which makes sense, as, again, they were working on both. So my guess is we'll get either Druid or Warlock next. The only way it won't be one of those is if they decide one of them needs a lot of rework from scratch, and if so, why not just go with the other? So unless they need to rework both from scratch, or if both takes a lot more work than they thougth, I'd say it's safe to say Warlock or Druid will be next.

    Also, I think one of the main reasons why we don't have one yet is because they were still working on the HR, and gave it a new path. But now that every class has two paths, it's time for a new class. :)

    The bulk of the speculation stems from an old Q&A topic with games EP. This was back just before Ranger was released and had not yet been officially announced as the next class. The comments basically said that one class was nearly done, one class was 50% complete, and after that Druid would most likely be started.

    Obviously the nearly done class turned out to be Ranger. Assumptions are the 50% done class is going to be Warlock, due to in game clues and data mining. But nothing has actually ever been stated as to what that class is going to be. This leaves the comments on Druid as up in the air.

    If we assume that there are two teams working on classes. The one that completed Ranger, and a second one working on the class that was, at the time, 50% complete. Then it could be reasoned that the Ranger team has now moved on and started Druid. But at this point we are drifting so deeply into random speculation that anything could really happen.

    As far as the time table. We didn't get Ranger until the 2nd expansion pack. Everyone has only speculated that we were due to get a class every expansion. Perhaps that was too ambitious and just couldn't work out. There is wisps of evidence to suggest that, that might of been the original plan. Or perhaps the original speculation was wrong and we were always intended to get a new class every other expansion. If that's the case, then that mystery 50% finished class isn't due for a few more months.

    I agree the coming soon should at least be updated to look like its covered in dust.

    I hope the warlock is coming soon but 3-4 months sounds possible if not still later than expected after all they have been working on it since beta apparently....

    I just hope they would put more work in fixing and maintaining existing content over adding new content the constant breaks/bugs and lack of true repair is frustrating and is is most likely driving away players for more stable mmo's

    new classes and races = new monies for neverwinter. Expect a continuous stream of them.

    Necromancer? Don't expect anything so exotic so soon. If they eventually do another wizard it will likely be a war wizard, that has fire and/or force type spells. That MIGHT happen, but only after they hit on high demand iconic classes, such as Monk, paladin, Druid. Those are sure money makers, and much more likely than a niche class.

    What are they basing the Druid on? There's no Druid in the any of the 4e PHs I've seen. Druid in DDO is good, but that's 3.x.

    Druid is in the 4e Player's Handbook 2, along with the barbarian, the sorcerer, and other classes.
