Re: Wish to have speed bonus restored to 25%
I brought this up on the last Driftwood Taverns stream. They actually responded and said that this was intended because they want new players to not feel like they are left behind. Complete <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. They said this last time they removed speed yet brought it back, had players spend to get it, then removed it again. Btw, its not 25%, its 35% because we can have 7 utility slots not 5.
Why should they do this?
Because old, worn out content that offers no rewards shouldn't be as painfully slow as they just made it.

Re: OFFICIAL: Refinement Changes
I think that everyone who exchanged their enchantments for medallions is being harmed, since the company gave no other option but to exchange. Check that the prices of the items do not match the overpriced values.
Follow the fair values to the players.
rank 1 = 3 medallions
rank 2 = 22 medallions
Combat 1 = 6 medallions
Combat 3 = 44 medallions
Combat 4 = 63 medallions
the rank 1 costs 100,000 AD in Bradda the sage and coal molten costs 1000 zen in zen shop 1 ZEN equivalent 750 AD 1 medallion costs 40,000AD therefore:
Coalescent Mote = 1000 Zen * 750AD = 750,000 AD / 40,000 = 18.75 medallions (19)
Rank 1 costs = 100,000 / 40,000 = 2.5 medallions (3)
Rank 2 costs = 100,000+750,000 = 850,000/40,000 = 21.25 medallions (22)
Combat 1 costs = 250,000 / 40,000 = 6.25 (6) medallions
Combat 3 costs = 250,000 + 750,000 + 750,000 =1,750,000 / 40,000 = 43.75 Medallions (44)
Combat 4 costs = 250,000 + 750,000 + 750,000 + 750,000 = 2,500,000 / 40,000 = 62.5 medallions (63)
It is worth mentioning that the prices charged at the auction house should not be taken into account as it is a market influenced by the players.

Re: OFFICIAL: Refinement Changes
I'd like to add that the weapon and armor enchants currently available are completely useless for healers.
Max rank they are 5k il, with 0 Comb Rating, i don't think i have to explain what that does to your stats.
Using one is just nerfing yourself, unless you really want to get that high il no matter what no sane healer is gonna use one.

What about the lower lvl armor and weapon enchantments? Is there any plan for away to get the appearance for those?
Lag during grappling phase of Crown of Keldegonn causes player death and group wipe
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter the Crown of Keldegonn trial and complete phase 1.
2. Proceed to the grappling hook phase.
3. Experience lag while using the grappling hook
Observed result: The lagging player rubber bands back into the gap between islands, or loses their connection to the grappling post due to the lag, and falls down into the abyss below, permanently defeated. The team cannot proceed with that player, and if no longer a viable team, will fail the whole trial.
Expected result: The lagging player either completes the grapple action, fails to start it, or is reset to a state where they have not started grappling. The lagging player does not get reset into a state where they fall halfway through as if they had dropped the grappling hook or teleported backwards.
In some play sessions has been the cause of more wipes than any other mechanic in the trial. This is absurd since it should be the simplest part of the trial and not even part of combat.

Overlapping Necro Bolt AOE with player mirages causes death in Crown of Keldegonn
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter Crown of Keldegonn trial
2. Have Valindra target player with Necro Bolt attack.
3. Player moves the red circle AOE to a place where it is NOT near any party members, but overlaps a mirage from someone's Mirage weapon set.
Observed result: Player targeted by Necro Bolt dies.
Expected result: Player does not take lethal damage due to having successfully performed the mechanic.
Mirages tend to not be clearly visible in the heat of combat, and they are unable to participate in the mechanic by avoiding the person with the AOE, so they should not be able to cause players to die as if they had failed the mechanic. This tends to cause unexpected deaths, reducing the likelihood of completing the trial.

Trial weapons not dropping from Crown of Keldegonn
I've now cleared Crown of Keldegonn six times on the live server, and not a single person in the queue on each of those attempts were able to receive or pick up a weapon. We've tried searching the platform thoroughly, double-checked system messages to make sure it wasn't picked up - it just does not drop.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Queue for Crown of Keldegonn with any eligible character.
2. Successfully complete the trial.
Expected result: Trial weapon drops on ground, to be picked up and rolled amongst the queue members.
Observed result: Trial weapon does not drop at all.
Side question: is the loot table also affected with this bug? The only thing that has dropped in the chests that is unique to the trial is companion gear. Nobody who has completed has seen anything else drop other than the rewards you can get from any dungeon chest.

Why are we getting old enchantment gems, that can't be slotted, from Boxes as well as Events?
How was this not corrected before patch release? I wasted keys on a lockbox that provides items I can't use. I can only sell them or break them down. Why aren't the new motes more accessible, or even an option in lockboxes? Im a returning player and this is NOT player friendly anymore.

Re: The enchantment system stinks like pile of garbage.
I probably should have added (just to add a bit of positivity) there are things i do like about some of the changes to the enchantment system, like being able to make r5 enchants account wide, and other conveniences, but was hoping they were layered on top of the previous system 
The new simpler construct really kinda ruins it for me, those convenient changes feels kinda meaningless to me now....but if this is what the system is gonna be like now, guess i just have to get used to it, which ill eventually but this sour taste leaves me less inclined to continue making purchases with neverwinter, especially if they keep making changes that makes me feel like ive wasted both my time and money.

I agree that the new system is a steaming pile of HAMSTER. I have been playing this game since around it's inception with my wife. We play it once int a while mostly to blow off steam. I have spent some money on items for my characters, etc. so I'm no freeloader. Over the years we have seen many times when the game developers have changed the rules and in the process severely limited the powers of existing characters. And it looks like they have done that again in a big way! So let me ask you this, if what they want is for us to spend more money then why are they making the game pointless. So when i spend many dollars to raise my characters back up to where they were prior to the new enchantment system what keeps them from doing it again and making me start over again? I can't be the only one thinking this...I can't help but agree. Over the last eight years or so I've put a lot of time and money into this game although I will admit I've not put any money in for about a year now, mainly because I took a break from the game. Now I've come back and seen what they've done to the game I've promised myself I will never put another penny into it because, to me, the devs (or whoever is in charge of the purse-strings) have no respect at all for those of us who have supported the game financially.
Also you state very plainly that you can play this game for free - but apparently now if you want to advance without paying serious money it will take you hundreds of years to get any where.
Most of the existing areas of the game that are not locked down to requiring large item levels have rewards that are laughable and worthless - some have no rewards at all.
So GAME DEVELOPERS please tell me why I should invest dollars in your game if you keep removing the gains i have worked many hours of game play to get? Why should i play the quests in the game when the rewards are pathetic? I love this game have for many years but i can't seem to get a character up to a reasonable level and keep it there so i can actually go play the newer areas of the game.
How do you plan to keep players playing your game if there is no longer any point to doing so?
Rant Over
Geoff Kuchera
When I came back just a couple of months ago to find so much content had been removed I was both appalled and really disappointed. I had so much fun in Blacklake, Tower District etc, especially Mount Hotenow. They basically removed all my favourite places to level in. I was less concerned about the lower level cap than I was about this.
But I gave it a chance, started a new character and I must admit I do actually like the way the levelling is done now - I would still like to see the missing content returned to us though. Even if we were to be given a choice of where we'd like to do our levelling in a similar way to what they've done in WoW.
However, with the latest changes to enchantments, I'm back to being ... seriously??? Like many other players, I had a lot of great enchantments and really feel like I've been screwed over. Dangling a carrot over us by giving us temporary enchantments for a week just to see what we could get was, business-wise very clever but left a bitter taste in the mouth. I'm sorry I didn't think to remove them before playing with them slotted but never mind - hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Also, I don't like that everything seems to be locked behind AD now, even more so than before, and with a refinement cap of 100k! I'm still not sure if there's any other way to purchase the glyphs needed to upgrade either. It actually seems a lot more complicated to me now but, in fairness, that could be because I'm not familiar with it yet.
And now my rant is also over - thank you for reading!
