About the game going live. Are you disappointed or not and why?

As the topic states, are you disappointed with the live release of Neverwinter? Either way, why?
I admit I'm very disappointed with Live launch or Neverwinter.
Reasons:
1. No New Classes
2. No Training Tomes for your companions
3. No Exp in Alchemy for most of the crafts
4. No Mail Boxes in areas other than the main city
Edit: Some people seem to think this topic is only related to the release note and the likes. To put it simply it isn't. If you were hoping for something and they haven't added it yet, then put it down. If there is something you think could be worked on, put it down.
I like the game (not disappointed there) but there could have been more things added before it went live. There could also be more things added for people that prefer solo play but still like interacting with people.
This poll is intended to be constructive....not destructive.
Thank you.

A city to protect
innocents to save
"Why?" They ask "they hate you"
We're heroes it's what we do.
*patiently waiting on Paragon City*
Very true, I barely noticed any real difference between the 'Launch' and 'Open Beta'....
Nothing.
Disappoint.
Occam's Razor makes the cutting clean.
It doesn't matter if things are in the release notes of not.
I was disappointed about the lack of a new class when I found out they weren't going to release one.
Edit: All they really did for the live release was basically just change the status message.
im gonna help ya out of your dream with T3
it isn't in there only T2 HAMSTER loot like before and you get 5 to 7 grym coins to buy new gear that isnt even better then the top sets you allready can get. So that immediately is my reason why
The other one is not completing the dailies of GG

Signed, Sealed and Delivered!!!
Me want pony too!
What else happened? Oh, gauntlegrim.
some things you just cant change though.
And this preview shard idea is laughable. So far they've been putting test builds out for approximately 24 hours before releasing it to the Live shards.
1. Give a title to everyone that participated or even logged in for the last beta events. A title is such a small thing to program in and it makes a certain type of player feel great.
2. Give a free gift in the mail as the first thing folks log into when the game is live. Again, small thing to program in - make it a title, or potions, or dyes or something. Again, this appeals to a swath of players.
3. Have GM's run npc's through the game interacting with the players, giving out stuff, and generally making the event something that is fun and celebratory. LOTRO had a GM playing one of the truly evil bad guys and she was wandering around, forcing players to kneel, teasing them about their lack of power, then fighting them en masse and kicking their butts. She'd hand out gifts and a beautiful and now insanely rare cape. People still talk about it.
4. Have a special item added to the Foundry creation process that creators can add or edit into their quests for the week before and week after the game goes live.
5. Have a huge monster from one of the end dungeons spawn in the Protector's Enclave on the last day of Beta. World level monsters are a blast and everyone runs to help kill them, dies often, hurls themselves back in the fray and dies again until the sheer number of players triumphs. Give a title or loot item to everyone that causes damage to the monster.
All of the above suggestions are about making an event out of the transition. I really loved the portals and think the way the bones could be turned in for a puppy AND you could get lucky and get a puppy was very well handled. As a mid level player I had a great time but I was disappointed when the new live game was here and the alchemy is poorly documented and a bit meh when you work but there's no xp, and the big new raid is pvp based and I have to be in a guild to do it. Both of these could be solved easily - should have a better info resource already written for Alchemy and let players choose faction without being in a guild.
Ummmmmm Anchovy pizza
Character is what a man is in the dark
Don't take me for a complainer, i like the game. But some kinda celebration / more attention to the launch would have given the game more personality
Nothing was mentioned, nothing extra was promised. We got EXACTLY what was shown on the Preview server. Did you honestly expect some secret, special, hidden, surprise to be sprung on us? Just because, just for launch? And if you did, isn't the problem with your own expectations?
You talk like doing so would have been some alien concept for Cryptic. It would not break new ground to do something special for release, why wouldn't people expect that?
Now, you have a real point of course; they didn't promise anything, and they didn't deliver anything.
Alchemy seems to be quite entertaining because I have to "experiment" before I can lvl up, as for GG I have no opinion since I'm not in any guild.
Maybe my time here with Cryptic all these years. Has conditioned my expectations differently then others. Perhaps other MMOs do, do it different. I honestly don't know and don't really care. I don't play those games. So I have little interest there. I simply know how Cryptic does it. I mean, they actually took the time to tell us exactly what they were going to do. It seems pretty reasonable to me.
I think they could have done a few small things too like;
Fix the bugs that have plagued us since closed beta, all through OB, and got made worse with the last patch.
Not made GFs and GWFs lame from the beginning and failing that fixed them by now, since in one of the betas that would have been good to handle.
Not neutered DC's in the last patch, since people didn't like their different/weaker healing and HAMSTER worthless mechanics like Righteousness to begin with.
Launched with more content, classes, and much less bugs considering this game was in development since 2010, and this isn't Cryptic's first ride on the MMO merry-go-round by a longshot.
Seriously. I am trying to give Cryptic the benefit of the doubt, as evidenced by still being here despite how much of a let down this has turned out to be, but FFS they **** well can do better than this. Hold them to a higher standard folks, at least the standards they've met in their previous games if nothing else.
was that I got the impression that this was made by gamers for gamers.
Im an old school gamer, been around sens pong,
it was way to fast leveling, to easy to get to end game for sure.
What Cryptic and perfect world should focus on and evolve is ideas around end gaming.
As it is now, its grind for higher gear that's not really needed (sure make it easier for farming)
and has no worthy goal. Its just not versatile enough.
And putting GG on a timer and having same loot as epics, just dont cut it.
Ive tried to open channels to cryptic with ideas for this and other new games, but
as always it lands on deaf ears. Know how it is, as been in the industry myself.
But Im happy for the time spent in the game, just the end content and slow progression to next module
if a bit to long for me, so its goodbye !
Have a great one peeps !
I am hoping to see more classes soon.
Same here.
