Note to Developers.
I have been playing Neverwinter since mod 1. I like this game and I have put real money into it because I want to support the game and see it grow. However, there is one major part of the game that has been neglected and I want to explain to you why its in the best interest of the game to revitalize this part. I am talking about PVP. The solo q addition was a great start. I have had more fun in PVP since it was introduced. Oh sure I’ve done some hard raging when newbies run around and don’t help cap while I get smoked. But that is just part of the game. The game mechanics in this game are amazing. The potential for PVP is huge but it is wasted. I have an idea of why and I will share it. The reason I believe that PVP is not being looked at is simple. PWI does not care about PVP because they want high level players to leave the game and take their AD with them. Why is that you ask? Well when players accumulate a lot of AD they don’t buy ZEN, and when you don’t buy ZEN the game doesn’t get any money. It makes sense because a new mod will only sustain top players for a few months then you get bored of doing dungeon runs. That being said Neverwinter has being putting out mods fairly quickly and they are great! So lets get down to the meat of what I have to say. If PWI and the developers put some more time and effort into PVP like when they did the champions league contest this is what I believe will happen;
1. IF PVP is more enjoyable and rewarding players will strive to be the best. In order to win in pvp you need the best gear (along with the right combo of feat/powers) and that will cause an arms race and it may just be enough for players to spend an extra 20$ here and there on ZEN to get that edge.
2. Good players in pvp like to stream on Twitch and make videos on Youtube. Its like free advertising for the game.
3. When teams are balance and players know what to do PVP is so much fun. Like heart pumping playing for your life fun. Really. All the best games are adversarial games.
4. You could create whole new ZEN store options for PVP, as players strive to be the best.
The changes for pvp with the new q system is a great start. Of course there are a few problems with pvp atm. Match making is still a little off. And there are some class imbalances. Not enough maps etc. Fixing pvp would not be hard. There are A LOT of great players with amazing input on how to fix and make pvp great again.

Brian
