Release Notes: NW.3.20130529z.17

Note to NeverwinterPreview players: Most of these updates aren't visible on Preview due to the nature of the shard's interaction with the Zen Market, and the fact that Alchemy and Gauntlgrym were already available, if silently so.

Professions

• The Alchemy profession is now available! Put your brewing skills to the test and supplement your supply of potions.

Quests and Environments

• Gauntlgrym is now available! Join or create a guild, have the leader ally with the Delzoun Explorers or Luskan Corsairs, and prepare to battle whenever the Iron Tabernacle, Armories of Moradin, and Delzoun Crypts events are active.
• Gauntlgrym's events last an hour and a half in total, separated into three half-hour events.
  • The Iron Tabernacle is a PvE-focused event. 40 players per map will be able to ally with others of their faction to forge weapons, armor mounts, and contribute toward their faction's war effort. When the phase ends, the team with the most points receives a bonus to defense at the start of the next phase. Access this location via the icon marked Gauntlgrym on the Overworld Map. Be prepared, though; the enemies are difficult and an allied guild is required for entry.
  • Armories of Moradin is a PvP-focused event, and Phase 2 of Gauntlgrym. Players may still access their faction's PvE map in the same way as before and contribute toward their team's objectives, but the heart of this phase is in PvP. Queue for the Gauntlgrym Battlegrounds PvP queue and lead your faction to glory in one of many 20v20 PvP Domination matches!
  • Delzoun Crypts is the event where your hard work pays off. Both factions gain access to the Fardelver's Crypt, a short dungeon with Tier 1 gear. The faction with the highest score after the first two phases also gains access to the Dwarf King's Crypt, a short, but very challenging dungeon that rewards the brave and bold with Tier 2 gear.

Items

• Profession Packs have been updated! Now all Profession Packs have guaranteed bonus Alchemy resources or assets for a limited time.

Zen Market

• The Zen Market has been updated with the Cantankerous Mage and Alchemy Profession Pack.
• Preview Only: The Zen Market now offers Respec Tokens for free! This is only the case on NeverwinterPreview, and is here to improve the preview experience for those players who are helping out by taking an early look at our builds.

Yeah, where are my [insert your class here] bug/balance fixes!?

It's not just your class, chill out. Literally every class has bugged abilities and feats that need fixing.

Probably not until Fury of the Feywild.

Thank you for adding free Respec Tokens to the Preview Shard. Please also fix the issue of not unlocking stuff if you've copied characters over that are high-level. (For example, I cannot send Private Messages or join a guild because I copied over my two level 60 characters, and they have not technically "leveled" past 15 on the Preview Shard.)

lostmarbleshere

So all bugs and issues and exploits are still not fixed... Great that will go over just dandy. So much for getting people interested in playing the game.

So much for listening to your user base that wanted respec tokens for the changes to each class.

No new paragon classes.

So i guess this is still Beta launch. BUt now you removed Beta From "beta launch"

Just like when you said This was a Beta launch technically it should of been callled Soft launch. And now your trying to tell me this is the Full launch.

I don't think so. Experience is only supposed to come from research. It's a different mechanic, compared to the other professions.

So all of us CW gonna get killed even faster by our own feats and spells cooldowns not working..

mandodo69

what about Fury of the Feywood? You know.... Module 1

The Zen Market has been updated with the Cantankerous Mage and Alchemy Profession Pack.

The mechanic works where you have to conduct experiments at your level. After so many tries you will get an item as a reward, which is needed to do the research task. That task rewards you with enough XP to go to the next level. Also while doing your experimentation, you learn recipes for different potions.

I'm not a guild member and I won't be. Thank you for new content Cryptic, I'll have so much fun with it.

orodalf

If you've been using the Foundry, you'd know that there are art files for the Cantankerous Mage companion that aren't actually used in-game yet.

Get some people to help you make your own guild. Its not hard. Hell, even make some dummy accounts to help you set it up. Its not like you need to buy copies of the game...

emraheser

Coming new server?

flashtony

Stats? Tanking Mage? =D

michan8607
