    dear gentleman. i'm taking act of those change. some i was expecting it, some will probably needs ajustment . but one is let be honest a painfull one as it is anounced. It's the new lvl of each artifact, artifact equipment and any enchant.

    Where it painfull. if it follow actual way, it double RP needed on artifact, near X2.5 on artifact equip, and on enchant something like X10. let be honest it's too much and that without considering that you may need to change artifact equipment and since you loose 70% by refine a new with an old one.
    .Maybe you think about dragon enchant and other but actually it way worth the cost upping those because of the 30 second of time out.
    Honestly on that if it goes with this much RP needed and such a low possiblity of getting it, it will lead with a separate group and risk discourage many player

    On the first page it says in the Known issues section "The Campaign Zones (Sharandar, Dread Ring, IWD, & WoD) & Queues have been turned off to focus attention on the new Drowned Shore content & level cap increase."

    Does that mean we will no longer be able to access those campaigns? Will we still get to keep our boons, Will there be a way of geting those boons on new characters without having to spend zen?

    Or does that simply mean there are going to be some issues with Those zone queues?

    I don't see this as a permanent change, but rather, to keep the focus on the new zone in Preview. I don't think such a change would go live.

    I would guess it will just temporary on the test server, so they will get people to test the new zone instead of doing the other campaigns.

    No. It means they're turning those zones off on preview so people focus on testing the new stuff ;)

    I see devs trying to make content harder by nerfing everyone which is ok if they make the content a bit more rewarding.

    It's funny because the Life Steal nerf will, once again, affect CWs the least, thanks to their AoE powers.

    If the most recent expansion to Star Trek Online is anything to go by as far as this design philosophy goes, I wouldn't count on it.

    Question, are the pets we got with the Neverwinter packs going to be boosted to ledgendary quality? I put a lot of money into those and would like to know if they are going to change?

    All we know for certain is that all companions will get a free 5-level increase to their cap. Now, whether the ones that are part of the various packs will be bumped up beyond that has yet to be stated...

    Getting server not responding partway through the character load until it eventually times me out back to the login screen. Guessing you guys already know that, but typing this gives me something to do while it sits there...

    Make sure your preview character isn't in a campaign zone when you try to load it up. Went in with one that was in WoD and it disconnected me.

    So now I have to go back on live server to take it to PE, then re-copy it to preview.

    For the most part, these changes sound great. Here are the parts that I other opinions about:
    panderus wrote: »
    New Features
    Level Cap increased to 70!
    • Enchantments and Runestones may now be refined up to rank 12!
    • Artifacts may be refined up to rank 120.
    • New items, potions, refinement stones and profession resources to accommodate for the new level cap!
    Please overhaul the mechanics for refining items. Allow us to drop entire stacks of 99 into one slot. The repetitiveness is what is killing the refinement system for me. Please make sure to also increase the drop rate for new and old refinement stones and enchants.

    panderus wrote: »
    • Companions can now earn Legendary quality and gain up to rank 40 with new passive powers to unlock! Companions can all also gain 5 new ranks regardless of their current quality.
    Please do not make it so we have to pay to upgrade our companions that were naturally maxed at R30 already. Make all companions that once were maxed at R30 be defaulted to max at R40. I'd also suggest to bump up all lesser companions by 10 ranks. R15 to R25, R20 to R30, R25 to R35, R30 to R40.

    Patch Notes
    Classes and Balance
    • General
      • All characters should receive a forced respec to accommodate feat tree and power changes.
    Please make sure these also include Stats gained while leveling.

    Items and Economy
    • Mulhorand, Dragonbone, Xvim and the Bahamut Fang equipment stops levelscaling at level 60.
    I strongly disagree with this. I am highly disappointed to hear this. Make them scale to level 70 please, just make them not be as good as Delve-acquired level 70 equipment, just as they weren't as good before at level 60.

    User Interface
    • Average Item Level displayed on your character sheet in place of Gearscore will be used to gate character’s from entering some Dungeons and Zones in the same way that Gearscore did. We are still in the process of finalizing exactly what will go into this number and it will be a sum of the item levels of your equipment, enchantments and artifacts.
    • Gearscore has been replaced with "Average Item Level".
    Please make sure this statistic is only viewable by the Player and not public inspect data, else it will continue to serve as a griefing point.

    My character's in Ebon Downs, probably in the dragon area though, so maybe that's it.

    update: Can't delete the character I can't log in with, get the message "Delete Failed"...Also it looks like the character copy tool only shows up to 8 characters from the character list. I realize this is only a temporary situation, but both those things could use a fix.
    Don't Panic.

    I think this is turned off for now, because it will make leveling too "easy" or "quick". They want people to take a decent amount of time to reach the new level cap. When the new level cap has been around for a while, they may turn it on to help alts and new people to the game.

    Or they'll make new ones for the lockboxes / mod 7 or whatever number HE's. New ones for leveling I see happening, it's what most mmo's that have done this have done in my experience.

    Be wary of this, without a way to inspect, pugs start dropping off faster and it becomes guild and channel only runs. I've seen it happen and imo the private only option is actually worse.

    I'm curious if the current greater med kits will go from level 60-69, and you'll only need the highest tier ones at 70. I also wonder if they'll give us another few level-up boxes, like in the 1-60 game.

    Given the time it takes to level from 1-60, I wonder what the intended time frame to reach 70 will be - and will the current campaigns be the sole source of quests to get there, or will the new module contain an entire 60-70 arc.

    One thing isn't mentioned. If IWD is going to be turned off, how will folks with 5 or 6 pieces of Empowered Black Ice gear get the black Ice to keep their equipment charged?? If you turn off IWD, it's not that you just can't play it any more, it's that the BI gear we worked SO hard to get will get weaker and weaker. We need a way to keep our Gear supplied. Completely unfair to turn off the source of that power.

    Allow me to stress this again: The decision to turn off the other zones is NOT permanent. It is merely to put the focus on the new adventure zone. This ONLY affects the Preview server.

    To quote the patch notes:
    The Campaign Zones (Sharandar, Dread Ring, IWD, & WoD) & Queues have been turned off to focus attention on the new Drowned Shore content & level cap increase.
