HR, SW and OP, im quite sure it makes it 3 tho math never was my strong side, also 2 races since we have Dragonborn and "chrome" Dragonborn :P

Just nitpicking, i upvote the question, its about damn time. Tho i would prefer na option to vampizire, zombify or whatever (also includes: turn into undead, shapeshifter or spellplagued), but i guess it will never happen.

About the plans, there r still pollys (i wouldnt rly trust that tho, its not like SW was winning when he was introduced) bout what class and race we want to see next, also they mentioned somewhere that new race comes first.

Umm, Ranger, Warlock and Paladin equals three new classes. And there has been more then one new race.

As for when. Well, if your foundation is bad you don't want to keep adding to the top of the tower. As much as Id like to see a new class, id much rather have them continue to work on fixing the existing classes. And not rush it due to pressure for NEW CLASSES NAO!!!!

There are always going to be ongoing blance issue in any MMO and no matter what, and no matter what someone will inevitably be unhappy.
and at what point will "fixing the existing classes" ever be done. and by what standard do you mesure that by.
Cyptic chose to set nevwinter in a D&D IP and that ment from day one adding new Races at the very least even If they dont add any more class till as you say the existing classes are fixed.

Just my thoughts.

It you really wanted to get technical. They also added Moon Elf, Sun Elf, and normal Drow.

All plans to add major stuff like classes and races got shelved when player backlash to the launch of a certain module, which will remain unnamed, caused a massive housecleaning among the ranks of the developers. The new team decided to put out new stuff like classes and races after they undid so much of the damage done that all the current races and classes were playable (by whose standards I do not know) in all builds and major bugs had been fumigated to death.

They outright said that they are not done fixing the scourge warlock so at the very least it will not be until after the scourge warlock is "fully repaired."

That's my guess. I based it on absolutely nothing, therefore I must be correct.

Hot Topics: (Part Two)

• [Hot Topics] New Class(es) & Race(s) Feedback Threads
  While the versions between the PC, XBOX, and PS4 for Neverwinter may be dissimilar, their direction and release plan for Classes and Races remains the same, even if both are not in tangent at all times. So, with this in mind, PC and XBOX users are asked to use the same Feedback Threads for New Class(es) and Race(s) feedback and wishes.
  
  Poll: The "New Class(es)" Feedback Thread!
  Poll: The "New Race(s)" Feedback Thread!
  
  Please do not make additional threads requesting or discussing new classes and races not yet in the game. Instead, use whichever of the two threads is appropriate. Thanks!
