"You have a 5% chance when attacking a foe to apply Dragonborn Fury to yourself for 6 seconds, increasing your Power and Crit by 3%."
Is that 3% OF your crit, or crit by 3%... I wonder... Seems decent if its 5% chance to increase crit by base 3% for 6 seconds. With GPF this could be up quite a bit....
Dragonborn Race
For the first time in Neverwinter, play as a Dragonborn! Children of Io, the great dragon-god, the dragonborn are a steadfast and honorable people who have thrown off the shackles of their former dragon masters. The Dragonborn is the only race that allows players to add +2 to any stats. Once unlocked on your account you can make any number of Dragonborn.

A little lack luster - unless they make up for this with some awesome racial feats. So far the only one we see is 5% chance when dealing dmg for +3% power and crit....
+2 to any stat - basically the same as humans who also get:
- more defense (useless)
- 3 more feat points (basically the reason you choose Human)
- do they have a third? I forget what it is...
Thats my fear... If they want ppl to buy, honestly should be:
+2 to ANY TWO STATS. This makes it appealing and honestly inline with many other racials. Unless they are going to offer some REALLY amazing other racial feats....
So far its looking like I wont buy.
And yes - the stats/racial is all I care about. Im so sick of Halfling.... Id pay $75 JUST for a viable cosmetic change - which DB is not looking like its it....
+2 to any stat - basically the same as humans who also get:
Just a theory, but Humans get to apply a +2 bonus to one stat. Since the Dragonborn description is saying they get a +2 to any "stats" (plural) it might mean they get to select two to gain a bonus on.

Agreed 1000000% (thats why I wish they had spent the time adjusting racial bonus traits) but I dont think it will be and this pack is worth maybe 40-50 at most. you get epic mounts with ones that cost 60. This is a subawful paywall. Sad guys. You got some time to adjust it.
And we all know they didnt add the dragon mount to it because they rather sell keys to put it in a crapass lockbox.

Maybe you are correct. Still terrible for the price. Hope it has +20% control resist and +10% deflect.
Hi PWE. I'll just cut straight to the point: for every other significant-cost pack, we have full details on what's inside them.
Here, we're lacking that. So let's get some answers and clear things up.
1) What are the full racial stats on the Dragonborn race? I assume based on the text, though the English is poor, that the Dragonborn gets +2 to two different stats of your choice? But what else do they get? (and if they have a proc ability, what's its internal cooldown?)
2) What are the stats of a fully upgraded, legendary Heart of the Red Dragon?
3) The Gemfinder Enchantment has the same text as a (Normal) Fey Blessing enchantment. Is that intentional? Is this actually something new and different that provides different drops, or not? "Valuable gemstones" does not indicate "rank 4 enchantments" to me, so that could use some explication.
4) Do the Dragon Glyphs only last for 2 hours of combat, with no way to recharge them? If so, why aren't they more powerful for a quickly-disappearing CONSUMABLE buff that's part of this $75-$99 package?
5) Is the Bahamut Regalia redeemable once per character, or once per account? And if the latter, shouldn't it be Account bound instead of Character Bound?
I'd expect to know those answers before being advertised such a costly purchase. Thanks~
Once again, overpriced sh*t appears!
90€ for a DLC? Are you serious right now? Max i've seen on a "normal" game is 40€ and you are asking me to play more than double for a DLC? I might aswell just buy 2 games for that price! This pack is honestly not worth anything more than 40€! Its just aesthetics <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> with OP stats and bonuses.
This game is going to be pay to win! Mark my words! The doom is starting!
It is going to be $100 after the sales period, but even $80 in one lump sum is too much for me (my wife will not approve of this magnitude a purchase - and she runs the budget).
We'll know who has the "coins" when we see a Dragonborn character . . .

In fact I don't feel any regret for the game at all." looomis said, "I don't like people changing to alts and then bragging about their mains like schizophrenic role players."
And it's not like you can't enjoy the artwork; you can view it as other players use it just fine. There, you have "access" to that "content".
(also, by your definition then *everything* in the game is "content" and they've already violated the "totally free" statement with the menzo drow and moon elf)
1) Are Glyph Upgradable? Does the fey thistle bug triggers the combat time counter?
2) Will all tier 1+ armor set be change to add overload slots or only new mod 4 armor pieces have overload slots?
3) What are Tears of Bahamut
4) What is Draconic Heritage?
Weird conversation about content aside, Neverwinter online's entirety of content is (mostly) "free." Not entirely free. But that's pretty expected with their Cash Shop model.

Still not paying 100 dollars for a race with completely new mechanics that isn't just a reskin of another model, but a completely new model.

Hmm, didn't it cost $200 (HotN pack) to play drow for the first 2 months? Which meant your starting character was paywall-blocked, if you were dead-set on playing the drow race.
I'm not sure how he knows "This is straight-up new content, with new mechanics, new quests, and the whole nine-yards." Hunter Rangers still don't have a class cloak quest AFAIK, so who's to say if we'll get race quests for Dragonborn.
In any case, are 3 race quests important enough content to make you blow a gasket if you have to pay for it?

That would be over the top =P..
I have no issues with cryptic trying to make money, Im simply overwhelmed as to why they think they could charge this and have more then 10% of the population buy it (or 5%)
They could charge 9.99 and 50% of the population would buy it. So basic round #s for example,
100,000 * 5%=5000 players buying at at this price for 75.00 = 375,000.00
or 100,000 * 50% = 50000 x 9.99 = 499,500.00
More money for them, more happy players for us.
This is just going back to the Cward issue over and over, they are letting their greed get in the way of their profit.

Actually, you're right, they HAVE violated their "totally free" statement. Buuuut it's PWE we're talking about here, so that's why i'm not even remotely surprised... <:\

I joined this game in January, so I wasn't aware of that. If this does end up being the case, then hopefully Dragonborn will be freely playable after 2 months as well.

We're getting clarification on the +2 stats. Right now, it looks to be a typo and should be +2 to any TWO stats. Whether both stats are choose-able or one is set and the other +2 choice is choose-able is what we're waiting word on now. Sorry for the confusion!
Safe travels,

I think the Human race can add +2 to any stats not only the Dragonborn :rolleyes:

But if you buy after the 14. then? 25% more for the same pack!
Is this your money? Then let each one choose how to spend it!
