What happen to the new class's? Why aren't they out yet? I haven't played the game in weeks.. No reason to play.. most of us that has stopped playing have been waiting for the releah of the game and the new class's.... But you have barely added anything new....Have you forgotten that this is a D&D game? Lots of class's.... What did you use to get players to play the game again on the launch? What was so good about the launch of this game that made everyone want to play the game again? Nothen..... This was a bad move devs.....

See how I didn't quote any statistics? Just my opinion and that of my friends in opposition to your own.
My friends and I don't want new classes that fit the same group role. We do not want to see four "different" tank, healer, etc classes that are balanced against each other and then handicapped just to make them appear as if they are somehow different. If all you want is some flavor or diversity you can have that by adding new Paragon Paths which is fine but adding new classes "just because its cool" isn't a valid reason for my friends and I.
Paragon paths do nothing for the diversity of the game. Just because you and your friends do not wish for new classes does not mean a great deal of other players do not. I have actually stopped playing because I reached the end game in a week and couldn't actually play the end game, a new character would've at least had some pull for me to log back in.

All good MMOs with more than 5 classes. Now, if NW:O is going to continue to do what 4e did to DnD then I cannot say this game will last as long as its competitors. It's their first day officially "live" and they've already upset a lot of players, the extra class would've helped with that.
But 4E has more players than any previous D&D version. This is according to Wizards of the Coast website.
It will take over two years for the devs to release all the classes in 4e's Player's Handbook 1 at the current rate. Also, in 4e you could make your own builds, multiclass, and make hybrid classes. We'll never have those options. Don't blame what the devs have done on 4e, please. Comparing this to 4e is like comparing Pac Man to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...
You rushed to 60 and now you cry because you're bored.
/Facepalm
60 days from now drow will be opened up.
I am confused... If you reached the end game in a week why wouldn't you reach the end game again within a week with a new class and post the same thing over and over? Do you think Cryptic is going to add a new class every week to Neverwinter?
That may be true, but they have irritated a lot of players who were satisfied with 3 and 3.5e. It may be easier to understand for some, but it doesn't have the same feel to it.
I'll agree with that, it is a little unfair to compare Pac Man to Legend of Zelda: OoT. Anyways, the playerbase doesn't need EVERY class within 2 years, just a bone every now and again. I wouldn't be against going a year without a new class if they had quality content that felt engaging and was fun.
Also, I was trying to say they dumbed down an already dumbed down model for D&D, not putting all the blame on the actual edition itself.
Yup, call someone a crier for pointing out that there is no end game for people who aren't part of an active guild or have a group of friends. What an intelligent member of the community you are.
Intelligent? yes. Now stop crying boy. oh wait...you're a baby my bad. keep crying.

Gamers sometimes get so into the aspects of the game they forget it’s a business first and all businesses have one goal and that’s make money. The F2P "but you will pay" mechanism works and generates funds very efficiently. The writing is on the wall this game is totally lacking depth and is a constant carrot leading the MMO player base donkey.
Yup, I expect every mmo I play to meet my needs and desires for content, deadlines, and sales /sarcasm :P
Seriously though, if they had a new class it would've taken some of the heat off of the GG and given people something else to do, if you're not in a guild there was no update or content for you. They made a huge "Oops!" on day 1 of being live.
Please stay focused on the topic of the thread, which is about the lack of a new class, not your opinions of my playstyle.
Star Trek Online has now lasted over twice as long as Tabula Rasa and is still going strong (when they're not accidentally deleting all of your mail.)
They announced companion training to come with the module one expansion. Its mentioned in the dev blog on the first page and at the module 1 website http://nw.perfectworld.com/furyofthefeywild
Not sure what to think about having to wait for it. But at least its coming.
Why do you feel 4e is dumbed down? You could strip away enough elements from it and have any previous iteration. All the old spells are there. Acid Arrow, Bigby's Grasping Hands, Mordenkainen's Sword, Magic Missile... Oh, and all non-magic classes get all kinds of cool new moves too. What's wrong with having all the old stuff plus some new stuff? What could you do in a previous iteration that you can't do in 4th? Please, tell me. If anything, 4th has a much steeper learning curve because it has four defense scores instead of one, which are designed to add more role-playing elements to the game.
I'm not a big fan of the healing surges idea, only into my first encounter with it did I learn that my druid no longer had spells, but intead at will, encounters, and dailies, spent a good while trying to figure out if I could cast vigor, or good berry only to be told that I no longer have those abilities by people who had far more experience with 4e that I did. Not to mention I've been spoiled by works like Neverwinter Nights and DDO (which is rather far from the base game now
I played a Druid too, even started one on DDO after it went f2p but I didn't advance past level 7 in that game. I think Vigor and Goodberry are in Primal Power, but you won't find them in Player's Handbook 2, which is probably what your group was using. I guess that is kind of a drawback as those spells were classic for Druids, I used them on Baldur's Gate back in the 90's.

I honestly can't believe they get away with all this...
They launched, at most, a bugfest of half an MMO while waving the DnD flag, yet delivered.. so little. Then they add stuff some have asked for, but missing what the majority is aching for. People want to like this game. Cryptic and PW is just making it **** hard to at times. Constant teases that don't even deliver - there's a word for that behavior IRL.
But hey, as long as they add new pointless companions in the (still) over-priced Zen Store they're obviously listening to us, the customers and fanbase, right? /sarcasm off
That aside, I want to see more classes released on a slow, but relatively steady basis - a couple a year. Iconic classes the game needs - ranger, druid, bard, monk. More paragon paths too. More content please and more compelling PvP.
I'm sure I'll get the old no new classes until the existing ones are fixed, but the classes I've tried - TR and GF are both working reasonably well (sure some tweaking is necessary), but neither class is broken.

The companions where already in during beta, were still missing the ghost and the cave bear. I am sure they will add them soon too.. but they are not really adding anything new.
I am looking forward to the fey update, but I hope they release new information about it such as a new class and new paragon paths for everyone as right now I find it hard to muster up the will of other guild members to form a group and go out to do dungeons, where as before everyone was fighting for group spots and rather excited to do stuff in general.
Giving us information about what is to come will help, the current information we've gotten is spars at best.
It doesn't matter how long you take getting to lvl 60; when you get there, youre going to run out of things to do.
Unless it takes you exact time it took Cryptic's team to create new content, then they'd certainly not be bored. Though I am not rushing to 60 and playing for 2 hours a day has gotten me to level 36
