Re: Unfair disadvantages to Dragonborn, Metallic dragonborn Races
You're right. It is totally unfair to everyone else to have to gaze upon those ugly lizard faces.

Tier 3 Hunt not bad......
The tier 3 hunt is actually fun and challenging. The only problem I have with it is that if you are not in the "party" that summons the boss you get nothing. Why ask the "instance" to fight a world boss!? Then give the players that helped defeat the boss nothing???? I am trying to wrap my head around that. I have done in a que group, group that didn't summon the boss, and a group that summoned the boss. It's a long hard fight with no incentive if you are not in the group that summoned the boss. I don't understand every MMO I have played you get rewards for participating in world boss fights, but not this game. Amazing.
The T3 boss may not be a world boss because it's a summoned boss based off the hunt system to some players. It has a raid like feel to it which is nice missed that feeling since Tiamat was nerfed. Well that's my opinion on the subject, I would like to hear what some of you guys think.
Some changes that I think could make things a little more interesting:
1. Rewards for all that participate
2. Increase the instance capacity to 25 for that 25 man raid feel.
3. Allow the summoner to place everyone in que groups for rewards/loot.

LOOOOOT, where are you????
Is it just me and all the people I talk to, or has dungeon end chest loot went to approximately zero?
No Mount, no companion, no cool stuff, no collar, no orange stone to upgrade your collar (don´t know english name), no this no that no anything.
Oh, I got a genies gift. From now, I´m a rich guy I think.
Dear Cryptic Team. There is no fun in play when you enter the same dungeon over and over again and you are right from the start absolutely sure,
there will be nothing usefull in the chest. Just frustrating.

Wizards, Wizards and More Wizards.
I think it is time for all us Wizards to stand up and say "We're Not gonna Take it... ANYMORE". Yes, our class under preforms most all DPS Classes. In certain cases, can be seen on the leader boards of a LoMM, ToMM or Zariel.. right under the Barb, and/or Hunter, and/or Rogue and/or Arbiter. Now, I get the fact that we "USE" to be a pure support class way back in earlier Mods.... but the class seriously needs some love, as the Barb, Cleric, Fighter and Hunter got. One of our best feats to use.. gives 3% damage.. TO OTHER PLAYERS. I mean, come on..
Just throw us a bone here... Mod 16 took the BEST encounter combo's and divided them between the two builds and left us with.. Disinagrate.. Ummm, TY I guess. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look into your hearts, and our sad eyes ( Puppy dog eyes btw) and give your forgotten, lonely step child some much needed affection. : ))

Please keep the in-game calendar updated!
Today we suddenly get the announcement that tomorrow we are getting 2xGuild Marks and 2xShards.
Meanwhile the in-game calendar has not been updated for several weeks I think and does NOT show this 2xGM and 2xShards, leaving us no chance to prepare and keep a stash of stuff to turn in for maximum gain.
Used to be that the in-game calendar was updated regularly with information on things like this, so we could plan ahead, but it seems like the last half year at least the calendar has been updated only sporadically.
@nitocris83 Please wake up whomever is responsible for keeping the in-game calendar up to date.

Re: "Avernus Hunt Rewards" feedback
Not a single player has fun obtain Chains. The odds are bad. Time consumption is a nightmare. More and more will skip the content and they are doing right.
It is obvious. We get piece by piece of little content with bad odds only for one reason. We are busy while they program M20. The quality of this hunt system do not worth our time. That is the truth. But we are forced to go over this, if we want new items.
Content like this should not be gated behind RNG. No Gain without Pain. Okay. But bad and boring content should lead to 100% reward. Remove RNG, Gate it behind kill boss 10x and we are fine. Not a single player should get the middle finger of RNG shown after he/she invested huge amount of time in this boring content.
Honestly. You provoke your playerbase leaving the game. Content like Baby Zariel was a good attempt for many players. The hunts are not.

Re: Milestone
I can't progress in milestone 1, pls helpDo you have 20K ZF? The number in the bottom of the campaign windows.
If yes, spend your ZF. Buy stuff. There is a 20K ZF storage cap. That means you need to spend at least 8K ZF to reach 28K.
PvP is the lowest of the low recently
1) Some mounts can instantly kill as summoned;
2) There is a massive action of sabotaging the competitors' matches by the usual players , who monopolised the PvP ranking by playing multiple accounts; also , pre-arranged matches to trade easy wins!
3) Savage kicking from matches , even for no reason;
4) By eliminating different class paths, you dumbed down the game.
To sum up, all you need to do for effective PvP is exploiting broken mounts, bribing guildies to guarantee you easy wins, playing multiple accounts , kicking players you don't like.

Tanks in Neverwinter LOL, time to scrap my tank
This is a QQ thread. Ignore it if you dont like that.
Okey. Some background first. Im a paladin tank close to endgame. My friends, the people i run dungeons with, are also end game or close to end game. Since mod16, with all the changes this brought, i was always able to hold aggro against them. But every new mod, every new change it would become more and more difficult. And then, in just 1 day, after the mount changes came i started struggling to hold aggro.
Almost every change in the game after mod 16 would cater to dps. Give them better gear, give them more damage, give them even more damage. All the while tank would get bits and pieces here and there, some of which arent even that good. A ring that gives you damage resistance while running and a ring that generates threat while running? Yeah sure. Because my role as a tank is to run in circles around the boss. The only change that really gave something to tanks was the buffs to the HP from Constitution. All the while dps get tons and tons of damage.
And paladin tanks are the most untouched class for well over a year. Paladins have been crying to at least fix our block so that it has resistances like fighter's block. Over a year and still nothing. Fighters and barbie tanks are not in a much better spot. They got some improvements some time ago, but outside of that nothing.
Tanks have been crying since mod16 for some improvements to threat and aggro, still nothing. Only thing i have heard is "we are planning to look into it".
Tanks get close to nothing in this game. Dps get everything in this game. Healers get nerfs, but they are lucky because the gear they need, that gives power or critical chance, is gear that caters to dps so they bring a lot of it.
There is no love for tanks in Neverwinter. No wonder that there are less and less tanks in the game. Some are leaving and some are switching to dps.
Really, when you have "end-game" dps in your party, tanks are almost useless. You only need tanks in Zariel, TOMM and in the bosses in IC. Other than that dps can handle everything. I have even seen dps with 600k HP and tons of damage. Thats crazy.
At this point, Cryptic could just remove tanks as a class overall. Just increase the HP of the dps a little, decrease the damage of the one-shots from the bosses a bit and dps will be able to handle everything, you completely eliminate the need for tanks. Not that there is much need for them anyway.
I dont even have fun running dungeons. The dps can just run ahead and murder everything, while im trying to catch up. Since i dont have any sprints, dodges or anything to move faster. And no, i dont want to get mount bonuses to run faster because im not a sprinter.
And im pretty sure the next changes in the game, maybe mod20, i dont know, will bring more damage to the dps, give them more HP and more tools. Tanks will just get a couple of bad gear pieces, some more HP, but in the end nothing that will help them keep up with the power ups the dps will get.
I like Neverwinter as a game. But i come to hate more and more the favoritism towards the dps, that tanks feel so forgotten and unimportant.
I guess its time to just scrap my beloved tank, the one i have invested so much on and start building a dps. Life is becoming harder and harder for tanks after all and you keep getting the feeling that you are not needed, that you are not really a part of the game but just some leftovers that no one cared to remove.
I know a lot of tanks who left the game or switched to dps. And im willing to bet that more will follow, until there are just a handful of tanks left.
