Neverwinter is the first f2p game I've played where prices are so expensive for basic things that I don't bother with them. I don't really need more bag space, a better companion, enchantments, or a decent mount if it takes months of grind. I could buy those things, but I think it's more fun to play the game for a bit and…

Supremacy of Steel is good for several reasons. First, it gives you ranged damage. If you're facing a weakened enemy who is out of range, you can use SoS to let them kill themselves without needing to close the gap. (It also hurts people who are hiding on a ledge or somewhere else that you can't reach). Of course, this…

The amount you regenerate each tick is based upon the amount of regeneration you have and the amount of health you have lost. So, the more hurt you are, the more you regenerate. As you heal, the amount decreases.

Many people are bad at pvp and lack basic understanding of how the game and classes work. The difference between a fun game of pvp and a bad one is whether the team works together at all and whether the gear is roughly balanced. This is why people recommend getting a guild or doing a premade, since people have a higher…

The last bit of standing on the point if you're anywhere near it is bad advice. If your team owns the point and it is uncontested, do not stand on it. Stand in the way of enemies trying to get it. Engage enemies BEFORE they get to the point. If they are willing to fight you off the point, you get points during the fight.…

I'm disappointed how fervently people oppose providing options for the control scheme, like it's going to take something away from them or ruin their experience in the game. It won't. In town, I don't like being stuck with the fixed cursor. What if I could hit Alt and it toggled whether the mouse was stuck but let me move?…

Defense is useful but it's easy to get too much of it. 3500 is about the most defense you want before you hit diminishing returns. So, to that end, trying to put together partial sets for the +400/450 bonuses are probably not that helpful because you'll already be at the limit. This is a great thread on diminishing returns…

PVP queue should have a checkbox: [ ] I can play as a team member and learn the strengths and weaknesses of other classes. If you don't check it, you are matched against people using your class. This way you can learn how other people play your class and see what's weak and strong about the class on its own. When you're…

Thanks; I think I understand them a bit better now.

Neither one is much of a game changer because the cooldowns are kind of long and the effects are weak. A point in each isn't bad, though. Grit can be useful if you're planning to go for Wrathful Warrior (and also planning on taking the other feats that give temp hit points). For shielded resurgence, it sounds ok in…

Grand Regent is for a defensive tank who wants to regen health. The power bonus doesn't contribute to making that type of build better at its job, which is why the set isn't very good. It's better for a set to make strengths stronger instead of trying to make weaknesses less pathetic. If you've decided to go for Grand…

Loyalty to what? PW is an experienced for profit company that's been tweaking its f2p model for years, learning to create the right experience and right prices to get the most money from the people who will pay. f2p games are free so that people will come in the door and the company can monetize them. It would be like…

People in guilds aren't the only people who can play a team sport. I play sports, and there are the people who want to be part of a team, and people who want to play. The guys who do pickup games will sometimes play two to three games in a row with whoever will have them, whereas the team players usually play one game with…

GF has a high learning curve to learn to fight. If you approach a GF from the front and burn your rotation, all you do is destroy their guard and half their health. Then they knock you down and beat you until you die or someone else shows up and kills you. However, that doesn't mean GF is OP. It means that people have to…
-
DCs are too weak. Before they could put up AS and be unkillable; now they can't do anything to survive. TRs are toned down a bit but dangerous. GWFs are a lot more powerful. Survivability is way up too. Not sure if they're OP, but they're dangerous now instead of a joke and can disengage, which makes them hard to kill. CWs…

Neverwinter is p2w. Players can buy the best gear in the game. A fresh 60 that pays can have a fast mount, a cat/stone, amazing enchantments, great shirt/pants, and great gear. All of those things impact gameplay and aren't merely convenience, like larger bags. Those same things would take a free player months to grind. A…

Agree that the dungeons are too hard for pugs. You spend an hour killing trash with zero difficulty, then get to a boss that wipes the party in a minute. People get frustrated and quit, and dungeon queue doesn't find a replacement. They're fixing that, so that will help some, but it's still not fun for the player who got…

You should consider rerolling human because you want the flexibility of the extra feats. I think ubiquitous shield isn't very good, even in pvp. It only reduces the bonus from the combat advantage, not the regular part of the damage. If I'm being focused by people who have combat advantage on me, they're going to kill me…

People who say "supply and demand, working as intended" don't understand economics. If you have a drought, the price of wheat goes up. People spend more on wheat. They won't have money for other things. Industries that depend on extra money will lose money and jobs. Those people won't be able to get new work in a bad…

Mount training is for the mount, not for you. You can use whichever mount you get once you're level 20. If you get a fast mount, it's fast. If you get a slow mount, you can buy training to make it faster. If you get another slow mount, you can pay more training to make that one faster. It's less expensive to get a fast…

If you think the human bonuses are better, go for them. However, racial traits are unique and provide bonuses you can't get anywhere else. They can slightly alter your strategy and are slightly better for different styles of play. The halfling traits are all decent. The extra +2 gives you 1% bonuses on 3 scores, which…

If you facetank a dps GF, they have a decent chance at taking you out, as most of their skills are designed for hurting things standing right in front of them and mitigating damage from things standing right in front of them. Want to kill a GF? Ambush them. Create an advantage that prevents them from running their dps…

To be clear, unless you exploited, you didn't make 3 mil in a week. You traded with people who bought AD from the founder's packs. There's a trickle down effect from p2w. There's the first tier people who p2w, then there's another tier of people who trade with them. The effect can't reach out to everyone, but each p2w…

I'm not sure if you're trolling but as other people have said, there aren't really waits. Further, you won't be kicked out of the game to make room for a founder, just have to wait a bit longer if the game is really busy. This is pretty fair, because once you and the founder are in the game, this particular perk doesn't…

This seems like it's a good idea. If decide to try the dungeon with the group you get, then you've decided that group balance is going to work. This change doesn't mean the grouping is going to enforce 1 of each class ... just that whatever your mix is, the game wants to keep that mix for you instead of messing it up with…

Battle for the Bridge is perhaps the most broken skirmish in the game. GFs have problems, but that skirmish is just bad, so it's not a fair test.
-
Neverwinter tanking is so surprisingly bad that it's becoming a rite of passage for tanks to come to the forums and write out detailed explanations of what's wrong with the class. Good points; hopefully they get addressed when Neverwinter has time to work on classes.
-
Not much to say about it; the game design does not utilize tanks for some of the reasons you mention. Neverwinter wants to fix classes, but it's still putting out fires, so it's probably not going to get to it soon. Fixing something as basic as whether tanks are needed in this type of game seems like a big challenge. I'll…

Why are people so religious about control schemes? If someone changes the key bindings, do you personally feel it and does it personally offend you? Naming control schemes "old" and "new" shows that you don't understand that some control schemes are better at different things. Free cursor is better at interacting with UI…
