Exclusive Neverwinter Underdark Interview with Lead Designer Scott/End of smal guilds?+some feedback

Hi , communty and dear devs .
mmo-play.com/mmo-blog/neverwinter-underdark-interview

I want to ask a few questions !
Big guild already filled up they have requirements what 80% of the server population cannot achive .

In mod 5 our guild number was around 50-40 ppl mod mod 6 made it around 30 mod 7 we had our frustration but our leaders gived us hope .
But after the AD changes our hope to improve our Stronghold became unachievable only a few ppl left we are now 8 ppl guild .
Btw thnx for those changes it helped a lot for us from 50 ppl now we have 8 .

NOW: MOD8 you tell us there is more benefit to be a part of the big guilds?

Masterwork professions are an expansion to the existing profession system. They contain difficult new recipes for high-quality items that are competitive with equipment from content like epic dungeons and the Greed of the Dragonflight. Think of masterwork as endgame for professions. When Underdark goes live for Neverwinter, guilds with high-ranking strongholds will find a new contact, “The Artisan,” who offers quests for crafters who have raised a given profession to Rank 25. These quests are long, difficult, and require a number of new resources. Many of these resources will only be available through explorer’s charts, a new consumable item available from high ranking explorer’s guilds. Adventurers will have to work together and trade resources, as they can only undergo training for one profession at a time. In addition to acquiring new recipes and tools, finishing a profession’s masterwork training will also award an exclusive fashion set, themed to that profession so you can show off all your hard work. More information will be released on our blog in the coming weeks

PLS tell us hou can we enter in those 'big guilds?
The problem is not just they have huge requirements ,they have no place for 8 ppl not even for one!

So i stopped buying zen cuz i will never get dragon flight armor ,cuz we will never reach rank 8 guild hall .
Not with those AD changes not with those AD requirements !

So now you tell us in hidden message smal guilds are not part of mod 7 and mod 8 ?
Where is our place ?

Must i abandon all my friends even my wife cuz there is 1 place in turk guild where i dont even understand 1 word what they say (even i have some problems to understand english). Just to have fun (w/o friends) in mod 7-8. I cannot say my option/feedback about this sorry it whoud be cut out or the full thread will be removed.

Why is our zen/money worthless and big guilds money /zen are total worth?
Dont you need our money to?

PLS rethink what you do just say there is max 10-20 of those big guild all other guilds are smal and we (smal guild solo players )are the mass in your MMO.

IF you give all benefits to the big guild you will lose a huge profit just telling.,

agree they need to look at guilds structure to figure out what to do. or release info about fleets (guild aliances) asap

Not to mention, a few of those big guilds are most likely funded off exploited ADs. So, practically spoiling the cheaters. If you cheated in this game, you're in a good spot...

Cryptic came to "contain the situation (C) Illusive Man" solution.

Investment in game makes decision of leaving the game hard.

Contribution to Stronghold cause is long-term investment and personal commitment.

It makes decision of leaving game even harder.

Interesting read. . .

So you'll have to build an explorer's guild to access those mastercraft professions, that sucks..

silverkelt · October 2015

The holy Crusaders have enough spots for your entire guild, but you may or may not meet thier requirements.. 2.5k i level, play every day (any extended time off , we have a leave forum), do influence grind and donate your share of AD (that has been around 200k this past month give or take).

I personally dont think its that hard, its much less then the top end pvp guilds, since its a pve/pvp mix.

And if you can do that much, you will have access to our guild, we are now rank 10 with 3-4 boons open atm.

Plus dragonflight runs of course, usually once a day or two.

Its a good guild.. We dont have unlimited spots though.

If you are interested , go check out the url, we have a application process.

And if you don't want to be in a big guild or even in one at all, then the heck with you, we don't don't want you in our game at all. That is what I am hearing from this. So much for looking into getting the solo player back in the game.

Also always hearing leeches on chat looking for guilds. No not just any guild, ones that are already at a high rank. Too much pressure was put on guilds now. It used to be just a thing you could do if you liked it.

...nah. Everybody is welcome as stuffing to get squished or votekicked, adding colour to the 1337 pwnrz P2W experience...

Sad state when getting to Lvl 60 is the most entertaining part of the game, and all after is P2W or be meaningless with a heavy helping of infiniGrind (TM). But apparently there still are enough people enjoying this to keep C's offices lit...

I had hopes for Underdark ..... guess I never learn

The playerbase allready voiced these concerns when "Wrongholes" was on preview-server. Yet they simply ignore us. Looks like it will happen again.

Small guilds have it really tough

We finally got our first look at the Dragonflight event, though it took a guild member persuading a friend to join at least temporarily so we could field a 5-man party. We managed to get 35% off the red dragon before it flew away, but at least we got to see it. It *might* be doable with ten people, but I have no idea where we'll get them.

For me, going from 1-60 is still the most entertaining part: there are varied locations and most importantly, real storylines instead of repeat-ad-nauseam daily quests.

The devs really need to brainstorm on how to improve the Foundry and integrate it into normal questing. If they learn anything from working with R. A. Salvatore, they should learn that storyline is everything in heroic fantasy.

It doesn't even make sense for mastercraft to be gated behind the SH.

Why?

Because the DEVs said the crafts are there to COMPETE with things like greed of dragon flight and such! Why would high end gear be gated behind SH high end gear if it was designed to be an alterative TO THAT SH high end gear!?
