dungeons wouldn't be difficult if you hadn't trashed are player base cause this hole change is a joke and how my toons can no longer fight because you changed are encounter powers while class features that i really do not like cause when we had are powers feats and boons in mod15 that i felt they where much easier to understand than this why i want my stuff back for how i know you wont give why i wont be given you guys anymore of my money tell you fix this game right and allow us to kill

Looks like you haven't played this game much after U16. Have you completed Tiamat yet in Random Queue?
Can confirm Tiamat is currently impossible to complete, because we can't past the Clerics phase. What's odd is the adds on the first phase where you kill the gemkeepers are fine, but the mobs during the Clerics phase hit way too hard. As soon as this phase begins, everyone die in seconds. As a 21k sentinel barb with >500k HP at lvl 80, I was dead in 2 hits (1 for the shield, and one for the life). As a result, this phase never progress.
I did a VT with a very good group of 19-22k. The only problem I saw on this one is during the laser phase of Valindra. The shadows are way too fast and attack WAY TOO QUICKLY. Don't forget you guys removed the speed of our characters. Even I (tank) died once on the second laser phase, because the shadows are too fast, I can't out-walk them (no sprint on tank...) and considering they eat the stamina I can't block anything and I end up dying like the other members. It's doable, but way too hard for the poor chest at the end.
I also did a FBI on RAQ. No problem here. The removal of everfrost damage is very appreciated, we did not have any issues with this dungeon.

At no point should something we've leveled past be more difficult than the content we are at level for.
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.
Hey folks, please recall that what we said about scaling after the April 16 steam was:
While we understand some players have concerns over scaling, we believe it is in an overall pretty good place. We do expect there to be some post-launch tweaks to scaling as the content gets played more frequently and we receive more specific feedback.
Again, we understand there are concerns but we specifically indicated we were looking for more specific feedback. With more players on live we are able to get more data and information that will help us make the necessary tweaks.
sorry but my whole guild left already and i dont think many of them will ever return.... i am almost 50 years old and i havent seen such a mess since like 2004 on Asherons Call 2 or Horizons. What you did to this game is disgusting .. i cant believe you can post anything without having shame ...
I'm in love in this game now. Difficulty is right there where it should be (no trolling). Finally players should respect mechanics of bosses and dodge red zones. Please don't nerf difficulty. It is fine. Players just need some time to remember how they played this content before it had became easy as abc in mod 4.
Probably you just can increase rewards (or amount of astral diamonds gained from dungeons by about 20%) to let players accommodate easier and to make players interested in tryhard.
Really no trolling. You made this game live again. Thank you.
then i am sure you can solo Group content since no one will join groups as it is right now... Do you have a god mode character by chance ? I dont think with the tiny choice of skills and powers since Mod 16 that theres any way to create a godlicke or let it just be a very good build anymore..... your big mouth wont bring my guild mates back nor the rage quitters ...
This mod 16 is more terrible then i thought.. omg.. 4 yrs of playing down the drain... Im sad and mad at the same time.. But time to move on to a game with developers who listen to their playerbase...Laterz
Thoon hulks no longer run through their laser beams. It makes Throne of the Dwarven Gods impossible to complete.
>50% of all the Random Intermediate Queue dungeons are not able to be completed because they are broken, or everything just swarms and one-shots you. Or they do not match you properly with 1 tank 1 healer and 3 dps.
Please don't mislead developers that it is impossible to play. Just souw a bit more patience and perseverance and you will get success in completing all content.
You obviously haven't gotten dumped into a solo quest instance leveled down to a single gray level 60 up against a pack of orange level 71 mobs yet.
Please get back to us with your elite tips when you do.
it literally scales down all our stats, so all our important caps like critical, armor pen, accuracy and combat advantage are gone and we don't do any damage. Not to mention low power, hp, defense, tank dies to low level mobs, and DPS barely do damage.
90% of the dungeons aren't doable because of this, players can't complete their random daily queues. Let alone new players.
At this current time there is no point in upgrading our gear, our enchant or anything because of scaling.
I don't like this new "combat" at all. GWF used to be the at-will hard hitting class, now at-will powers do nothing but HAMSTER damage and it's all about waiting 15 sec for some encounter to do some damage, you destroyed the gwf class in my opinion and I enjoy way more the old play style.
Firstly all the skirmishes need toning down considering it picks 5 of any class for these. If you get unlucky and don't get a healer it's game over.
I haven't played advanced queue but in RIQ everything but EToS is a mess one shots galore, enemies with too much HP. Also enemies run way too fast in dungeons considering some classes have no mobility now. If the item level for a queue is 12k a group of 12k players should be able go complete it albeit with difficulty. I don't how quickly you can fix pretty much every dungeon but you need to and fast players are already leaving
I have only done a few RIQ so far but here are my thoughts. 1) Demo - People have forgotten how to play. Running all over the place. No plan like in the old days. 2) Manycoins - very doable with the right team. Did it today with no real issues. 3) Pugging will get you many many deaths. I did about 15 Pugs of the RIQ and failed hard each time. Finally had to form a group of my own. This will have a massive impact on those you have limited playtime. AD generation will be cut in half until something is done about it. 4). The biggest impact seems to be on pallys who have to learn a no way to tank. The vast majority of people are not on the forums so I can only assume they had a massive shock yesterday.
So, I would like to say to other players that you just should play right from the point of view of mmorpg mechanics. You no longer can roll in and smash everything on your way being immortal.
And it is normal for every good mmo to have challenging content. If you have failed then just think what you did wrong and improve yourself. All content (except few bugged dungeons) can be completed but you just have to show more coordination tactics and personal skill. That is all.
Please don't mislead developers that it is impossible to play. Just souw a bit more patience and perseverance and you will get success in completing all content.
Ps: that pleasant feeling when you completed something really difficult.. Do you remember it?
"all content except all the content you're actually required to run for AD is fine" is not fine.
No, this isn't a case of "you just haven't adapted yet/you don't know what you're doing/you're doing it wrong". NOTHING in game is supposed to be able to 1-shot a tank that meets the gear requirement to queue for that instance. Period, full stop, end of story. And yet JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING currently is. There are more instances that can't be completed because trash is hitting 200k+ than there are instances that could theoretically be completed. The only "you're doing it wrong" that's possible when a current-available-BIS tank gets instagibbed every single pull is the fact you're still playing.

No, it is broken. As in nonsensical things are now impossible. For example, I just tried to do the quest to free slaves from the Drow outpost for The Supporting the Factions quest. When I enter the area, it scales me down to level 60. No issue with that. Fine.
But the NPCs are all...LEVEL 73. So I am fighting at level SIXTY and the NPC mobs (not bosses, NPC mobs) are level 73.
This isn't "challenging." This is hilariously broken and incompetent.

Lol julia is this some kinda bad joke? so all these testers that have been testing since alpha, did all that for nothing? Players shouldn't have to do the dirty job for you, not to mention they do all that and never get any rewards for it, and the worst part being that all their feedbacks being ignored till launch and now you here commenting this? im pretty mad at that comment. Pls get serious.
Lardeson CW not Mage. Where's my fireball and my thunderbolt?
It was funny getting hit by a random mob in Master of the Hunt for half my hp and having to click health stone in order to complete it.
It was funny entering Throne and having to play it like a MOBA running it down mid intentionally feeding in hopes the hulks actually played ball and hit the shield in order to complete that without a healer present.
It was funny when the demon boss in the other skirmish literally chased me around the map because tank couldn't hold aggro.
But the massacre I witnessed at Tiamat left me scarred for life.
I was in the river district today. Mostly just hanging out and watching what was happening. Not one time did anyone beat the treasure ship. The boss would get half way down and then fully heal and call reinforcements and wipe out everyone. That is not balanced.

This. Since Mod 16 going live, I have been unable to complete a single random queue, because there are so many deaths by party members to trash mobs....every one just quits the instance. These queues were missing either a healer or tank. One party composition was 3xrogues, 1xwarlock and a ranger in Kessell retreat. The first 10 trash mobs of the dungeon just kept killing us over and over (ping ponging to each party member). I am a level 70 rogue with 12k IL. I have only been playing Neverwinter for four months (and was really enjoying the game going through the campaigns), but this is frustrating now. If the dungeons are working as intended, I have to move to another game. I'm getting nowhere with random teams, I don't play consistent enough to keep a "static" queue group.
In Tiamat any hit from any mob instakilled me. After 10+ deaths I had to abandon it. It would be nice if you remove it from Random queue until it's fixed.
a few tiamats and more reported by alliance and guild mates.. of the clerics unable to be defended.. all 3 , no blue at all in any of the progress bars.. with a full instance for many tries I saw a good 10m into the trial. heist of manycoins.. 10 tries ,at least 10 different players ,could not save the vault . came close but the 3rd wave was not even close to doable.
the ratio of the how the algorithm/offset .. what ever calculation that was used pre-mod 16 to downscale my lvl70 to say a cloak tower or MoH instance (the only 2 that ever seem to pop btw) felt like after many years of it being attempted was almost there .. most lvl70 just a little too buff for the content.
I thought it was working out what ever it was you were doing there but now... fubar is about the only thing I can think of.
It is now impossible to outrun the wraiths in Valindra's Tower at the end boss stage.
Who made them move so fast!???
And no I was not using Darks in Mod 15 in Utilities, so it isn't because of that.
Best part is? This got called out in week 1 on preview, and never fixed. I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure one of the closed-alpha testers (pre-preview) called it out, Adnosii alluded to it, and it never got fixed. Hell as far as I know it was never even acknowledged.
