Comments onNeverwinter Upcoming Hugh Changes to Players Characters and everything else

lordwinoslordwinos Member Posts: 35 Arc User
I want to start this with a few personal comments:
1)been a player since 2015.
2) Seen a LOT of changes in gameplay and nerfs. (most NOT SOLO friendly)
3) I play a TR and have seen my survival take a nose dive ever since mod 13
that being said I wonder if all the wonderful nerfs coming how many respecs will it take to be able to survive my chosen playing style and how many credits towards respec's will be free?
Will SOLO play be affected for the better? my experience is it gets worse every time.
I have raised every race/class to Level 70 and Like it says in the new content alerts either full health or dead.
Item level is NO guide to survival or too damage inflicting ability as I have seen a level 70 cleric do so much massive damage in a dungeon that it was amazing but looking at his character the item level was 9700 and he's doing more damage than people with 15000 item level.
I also hope that the new content will NOT require Private parties as there must be lots of people like me that don't have a group to play with. (in my case it's not I'm not friendly it's I might have to go away from the keyboard at any time to care for my wife. and it leaves people i'm playing with at a disadvantage in tough content.
all in all Neverwinter has been fun even if I can't do a lot of the content alone.
I hope they don't totally ruin this game's playability.
so lets hear some comments.
thanks

    I guess I would be more inclined to "trust" the devs if...

    * They actually participated in the forums and communicated with their community
    * They were not, no where to be found, when issues occur and people are asking questions and no answers are forth coming
    * They actively compensated for mistakes that they are responsible for (tacking on extra days to CTA and making players grind more to compensate for THEIR mistakes comes to mind)
    * That they compensated the players properly when obsoleting content (Professions come to mind). This literally costs them nothing to do
    * They fixed issues in a timely manner instead of months or even years if at all
    * If they OWNED their mistakes and resolved them (SKT fishing replacement in Winterfest comes to mind)
    * They preview more and actually fix issues from feedback from preview before releasing to meet a deadline

    And I don't like to call out individuals but what the hell does Julia do exactly? She does not seem to engage the community outside of the Twitch chat. Might not be her, her boss might dictate her level of communications. But if your title is community manager then get out in the bloody community.

    Just because a vocal minority doesn't like a change, that does not make it a mistake.

    Which community would you like Julia to out into? The forums or the game? I've run into her a couple of times out in the wide world.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    In the official forums, here. Why have official forums if this is not where you communicate with your customers. Like I said, she is an employee and the direction from her boss might be to be disengaged. I mean frankly what she does or does not do and performance is really up to her work team leader, not her.

    Note, I follow NW on Twitter and Facebook, its the same there.

    Julia's job, as I understand it, is to be a relay. She gets told to "post this" or "announce that". Not run Q&A sessions that she most likely isn't qualified to answer the questions.

    She also takes our concerns, bug reports, and whatnot, back to the applicable team.

    for your second line, I haven't seen this interaction. compared with the CM before her. Andy was very involved and took part in forum discussions as I recall. I felt like I knew him a little. I can't say that about Julia. (my point isn't to OUT anyone, but we do need more communication. I have a very serious bug effecting me with professions. I've asked for some kind of feed back from ANYONE in an official capacity here and I've not heard a peep. (mc 3 recipes that i've earned/paid for awol) this is the kind of thing that if you do look at it and pass it on how hard would it be to say, team knows about it.
