Mod 16 + Stronholds content and Dragonfights

Hello everyone,

GJGBlackDragon here from PS4. Quick question here for the devs or maybe a player have the answer:
- Will Stronholds armor will be updated with Level 80 pieces?

Yesterday my guild decided to do a gathering to run for T3 Influence and then Dragonfight. As many of us were in the hype of Mod16 and leveling to 80, we were more than the usual so the Influence runs felt very normal (we got tanks, healers and good burn). But then we decided, let's kill some dragons! Normally we do runs to kill 2 or 3 dragons. With the amount of players that we got yesterday we were hyped "We will kill all 4! We have plenty!" so we started at Green and ... oh well ... that wasn't well ... I mean, that wasn't good at all ... most of the players were levels on the average of 74-78 with some rare exceptions of some level 80 that recently made it ... It was a massacre! We couldn't kill green even if we decided to asking to play dead like a dog and at least give us 1 victory. Nope, it was a pure savage massacre were players were writing in the chat "We can't kill it", "Forget about it", "I'm going back to kill something else to boost my morale".

So, after that frustrated event, we all run back to the stronghold vendor to lick our wounds and plan for the future "We need to level up, gear up and try again!". So I was already maxed in Dragonfights currency and Strongholds currency so I just check out the vendor to my frustration that there were no gear yet in pair with the challenge to kill the Dragons. So even if you made it to kill some Dragons, once you go to the vendor, is the same old gear we had at level 70 and don't even dream of trying to kill a Dragon now with that gear.

So again to my question: Will stronholds armor will be updated with Level 80 pieces?


See you around fellas.

It's my understanding that all the HEs and other stuff is scaled to level 80 and in you need to be level 80 and have level 80 gear/stats. If you take almost anyone to the practice dummies in the SH's who are under level 80 they will do little to no damage. For some reason unless you are actually level 80 you are totally nerfed out. Sadly anything to to do with SHs are not a priority now. The devs said we might.... MIGHT get some updates on MOD17.

This is a huge blow to small and lower level guilds. With the strongholds being nerfed so severely the players won't be doing many dailies. Pushing people to 80 is going to take away from players who enjoy leveling through games and following story lines. Sadly, many of the story lines in Neverwinter end or cut off abruptly. heck, I'm still waiting for Bruener to do something about Pwent, I mean the battlerager vampire dwarf is still out there but we haven't seen him since we were leveling.
I really enjoyed that character in the books would love to see him make a comeback in the game. Anyway, tangent aside, I really hope the devs either scale everyone to 80 in the stronghold, like they did pre mod 16 by bringing them to 70, or scale the stronghold back.

Thanks,
