Looking forward to new content. Looking forward to new companions which in my opinion are getting better and better. Lastly... looking forward to riding my unicorn!
.... seriously...

;-)
but cats>dogs im afraid
annd im not sure how paper beats a stone anyway... it degrades so much faster, stone can just sit there for 10 days, weeks, months years and the paper will disappear, and the stone will still stand strong
;-)
No new pvp.
No new classes.
No new paragon paths.
No level increase for the new level 60 content (what's the point in giving experience in a level 60 zone when level 60 is the cap??)
Limited access per day to the new content.
Brilliant Cryptic...brilliant.
All non augment companions have an new ability that is unlocked at level 30.
they dont die, and they give you +2-3k stats, depending how you enchant/runestone/equip them
ie, ancient ring, neck, icon with rank 7s in and some rank 7+ runestones is a huge gain
before the update and the zen sale, stone (blue one is the only good one) was like 700k~ ad
and theres no need to upgrade them with the new system
a pet having a knockback is unreliable and can be a hinderance
lillend has some nice traits but again, it can die xd
Yeah, this game has been out for 60 days already! I expect fully expanded with new classes, pvp, paths and hours upon hours of content within hours of it's release. That you have had 60 days already with nothing to show for it Cryptic really show you guys are just slackers. I'm so, so mad right now.
I thought everyone knew that?
The game didn't begin to be developed 60 days ago, it's been in development for quite some time (2010). Using such illogicity, we would expect so few classes at launch from WoW, GW2, Rift, EQ2, etc... yet none have so few classes, only NW does. It stands alone in the way it nickel and dimes players to death as well as the design decisions that are made about it. This may appeal to some, but to many others, it doesn't. And to those it doesn't, a sizable group and growing as time goes by as it is usually the vets who grow increasingly frustrated with the game's direction after getting to the end game, it is perfectly reasonable to expect them to voice their opinion, experiences, and "wishlist" of changes in a public arena made for such a thing.
What made you think we were going to get any of this with this update?
And they give xp to level 60's so we can level our companions.
It makes no sense for the vet 60's to play for reward since our gear is already so much better than anything found in the new content with exception of MAYBE some of the delving required for some of the gear. But even then, it doesn't appear to be better gear than other dungeons (found in core)...it's just "different."
As to why I expected a couple changes...
1) I don't expect any fantasy based MMORPG to not have a ranged fighter at launch. NW is unique in this respect.
2) It was hinted that both a "ranged" class and at least 1 new paragon path was coming in this module (in a dev blog made 2-3 months ago).
3) re: level increase: character development is standard in mmorpgs. End game content that develops characters in NW is severely lacking. There is already a level 60 zone in core. And players who have been playing this for a while (and already have level 60's) are doing nothing but delving or pvp...nothing that develops their character progression other than gear). So what sense does it make to add another level 60 zone? The only benefit would be to allow those who just turned or are turning 60 a choice to go to Whispering Caverns or check out the new content (even though the new content is limited as it is pure "daily" apparently).
This wasn't anticipated to be in Module 1, but it is still a point of disappointment, and is why it is added in the list.
4) pvp needs help big time. With only 2 pvp arenas (1 pvp mode), pvp in the game is boring. Having more arenas and a couple different modes is what the game needs (and most pvp players seem to agree). Gauntlgrym wasn't the solution, it added only more problems and frustration. To my knowledge, Guant is still as unpopular as it was at launch (restricted time, pvp/pve mix doesn't seem to work well, rewards underwhelming for the required length of time to participate, etc...).
Some people are going to like the new content. It is something "new" to do and explore. Some people won't. Not necessarily because they don't like "exploring" new areas, but because it's a replacement of core issues that ought to exist in any mmorpg and do exist in practically all mmorpg's.
==================
TL;DR: PW is adding "icing" instead of finishing the "cake." That's been their "style" with this game from the beginning it seems. They are skipping the core and adding extras. Gaunt is an extra that should have only been included AFTER pvp was fixed and expanded upon. This extra daily content for 60's (Module 1) is an extra that should have only been included AFTER pvp, more class diversity, and more class opportunity (diversity within each class re: paragon paths) was realized.
This is wrong wrong design and it goes into nowhere, the game lacks of challenge and progression.
Sorry for critic but I'm just
I've found the same. I'm going through all these mobs like they were butter. I 3 hit most mobs with my TR...who isn't specced for dmg or crit...but RECOVERY because I went "infinite stealth" for pvp "kicks and giggles". So even with this "for fun only" build, I have zero trouble with any new mob I've encountered thus far. I'm hoping it will get more challenging, but knowing the game has been designed from the start (and leveling all classes to 60 as I have), I'd be surprised otherwise.
lol yeah, apparently it's all daily based. This may have been stated clearly in an announcement somewhere, but I sure didn't see it.
It's an example of putting icing on an unfinished cake.
Get the foundation laid first, expand as needed to make it strong and varied to retain interest, THEN add the extra bells and whistles.
PWE or Cryptic or whoever...does the exact opposite...throwing on as much icing to cover up the half-baked foundation.
