Really looking forward to this next module. For once everything works in my favour, even if the stealth mechanic changes were to come in, I'm hoping these will work in my favour also, as a TR. Totally selfish perspective on it, but having faced the nerf stick several times and simply got on with it, I'm not bothered. I can appreciate alot of the complaints but as far as I'm concerned, class wise, don't care. If something's to change, it will happen, I don't think any planned changed has been revoked and everyones just got on with it in the end, and it's pretty much forgotten, until the next one.
The content additions are god **** awesome, for me personally ,this is exactly where I look to go for end game content, I'm chuffed it's gone in this direction and can't wait to try it out and whine out loud when it bugs (it will but it's inevitable)
Only thing I really agree on is the change from sharandar to dread ring caches. Keep it the same or make both accessible.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a PvP focused expansion, how about making the GF block more responsive? at the moment there's a small delay between when you click the key and when the shield is actually brought up to block, which results in you getting hit although you responded to the actual attack. its been reported before a few times and nothing been done about it, I would imagine that in a PvP oriented expansion those sort of things would be among the first to be fixed.
Other then that some more love for the GF would be nice as well, I know its a bit drastic but how about rechecking the tab skill the GF has to be more useful in PvP.
"Must have the third boon in either the Sharandar or Dread Ring campaign." not cool with current campaign progression (daily missions)...
Getting the first three is not so bad .... now, getting the fourth and fifth....that's a bit, well...boring. Then again, it is really worth it got get all 5 - those boons are really nice boosts.

All you have to do in the Dread ring is the daily lair for 14 days to get all 3 boons , no need to touch the daily quests unless you want to level up the gauntlets , the lair reward gives all the materials needed to progress the boons and the daily 1k prayer AD pays the ad cost , literally 10 minutes ,less if you party up.

I don't like the class artifacts being reserved for the ones who have 2 alts to lvl 60. You basically need to level 2 toons to 60 and make them get 3 sharandar boons or dread ring boons... which is a lot of time wasted for people who can barely take care of their main toon, and a big advantage for lifeless nerds or credit card warriors. Will take a look at what these artifacts give, at least.
<--- Has at least one of every class but HR finished the campaigns. The HR is working on it.
I could swear I saw the 2nd post here saying that this was made active on the NeverwinterPreview realm @ 1 PM on 3/21. However, when I log onto the NeverwinterPreview realm I see none of this. Am I missing something...?

The server went down for several hours on Friday and the team were in the office until very late Friday night dealing with that so they didn't have a chance to patch module 3 onto the preview shard , panderus said he will update us when he gets a better idea of when it'll be going up.

The post was updated today to include the 1 PM thing. Also, I think it is 1 PM PST if you are on a different timezone.
So 1 PM PST today basically.
Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

I really don't know what to say about this.
All this balancing (and CW will be nerfed as well, just a matter of time) is mostly due to PvP, as someone else mentioned already.
Why are CWs often one of the most wanted classes in a dungeon run? Because of the insane amount of adds. Fix that and then fix the number of targets a CW can control. Not the other way round.
And HR damage isn't all that great, so 45% for the one decent attack we have is way overboard.
I get more and more disappointed ... this is really sad.

Keep in mind the 45% nerf is only being tested. Usually when they do those sorts of things, they're trying to set upper and lower limits. I would imagine it'll go to live with significantly less of a damage nerf.
...Fix that and then fix the number of targets a CW can control. Not the other way round...
I hope you don't mean nerf CW CC even more, cause that's the reason why you see 3-4 CW parties, the CC and AP gain nerf. Before the CC nerf all dungeons were doable with 1 CW, but ppl where complaining that CWs could control everything, then they nerfed the CC and ppls started doing 2 CW parties, then ppl were complaining about 2 CW parties and they nerfed AP gain, now you see 3-4 CW parties.
If they want to do anything about the CW then lower it's damage and increase it's CC, it's a CONTROL wizard after all, not a DPS mage, but please add a DPS mage, like a Sorcerer or something like that, cause the only reason i play a CW is because there isn't a proper dps mage.

There is no need to control things when they are dead. And that is not the reason people run multiple CWs, and if you NEED more than 2 CWs in a party, you're terrible.

People are posting screenshots but it isn't letting me in still. It's acting like trying to log into live last Friday. Any ideas?

But seriously yeah , I've been opening the patcher ,logging in and trying to patch since 11 minutes ago now xD
