I would have started to get excited about this BUT, they will make all the gear/armor/weapons you have now of no value. remove leadership AD, no way ion game to earn items, no one will be there to watch this happen, too bad you had a good game going till you stopped caring about the players. Leave leadership AD in the game, allow upgrade paths for user current equipment, provide them with some of the things they've been asking for for the last 3 years, nah, lets throw another broken piece of HAMSTER in front of them.
we dont need new classes, we need content. New content. Not a mashup of sharandar with dread ring like monsters. Not skirmishes like dungeons. Not revised stats of old gear on new gear. Releasing new classes right now its a cheap way to say "here you new contents be happy" while its not. The paladin itself is already a cheap copy pf a gf on steroids. Probably warlock was the last class designed by the original devs together with hr, their masterpiece

After reading Archmage, I predict that we'll be fighting LOTS of demons.
we don't need new content, we need old content added back and the game fixed. That would be the best expansion mod.
Put back HR's archery dps to mod 3 days (spread shot would be nice too but I know that's an over kill) Put back Lifesteal as it was before WoD Put back Castle Neverwinter dungeon and clock tower (both normal and epic as well as the lowbie level 10 dungeon). Put back the orbs in the foundry maps that would spawn black opals every 15seconds when you are fully stacked with gem dropping enchants.
But please put back leadership the way it was prior to this goofy arpil fool's joke day that just happened, its not even April guys

Um no thanks I'd much rather have new things than old things. Thanks for the thought though! How HAMSTER would a module devoted to bringing back things taken away lol.

Yeah it wont be coming. Game will be long dead before it finishes. And rightly so.
Eyeroll. They're contractually obligated to deliver on it. Even if they have to do so at a loss, it's still less expensive than breaking their contract with WotC.
PS: And here I was all pumped up for it! Hoping I'll once again slay Demogorgon which I did not do since BGII times. OR maybe do some equally fun stuff. And I'll level up yet another new class. Yet as things stand I doubt even that having all possible booster packs (which I do have) will make the time spend leveling new character rewarding and smooth.... and it's 1st time ever when I think that. And new content? Let us hope everyone finds people still willing to team up and strong enough to do so.

Fix the lag other bugs,k make up for mod 6 disaster and here is a novel idea, fire all the developers, we dont need more mods jusr few dungeons with un bound drops like pre mod 6
Demons, with the same old artwork, same bugs, maybe even the same maps over and over and over again until we throw up allover ourselves. The situation is indeed bleak.

Uhhhh, what?
To date, we haven't had many demons to fight. For whatever reason, it's always devils.
Now, I get it, you probably think the Balor will just be the Pit Fiend but, like, ever so slightly different. But remember: Underdark is part of WotC's marketing campaign. If Cryptic/PWE fumble on something so core to the D&D canon as "Devils =/= Demons" then you can expect heads will roll.

I think I agree with @morenthar. They might just whine it over "not enough income from bad bad players" which lead to cuts etc etc. "We did all we could: happy?"
Whether heads will roll or not? I dunno.
At 1st I was mesmerized by games lore in open beta and long after. Then bit less. Then I got hyped about Minsc returning and thought of "how the heck after so many Forgotten Realm's years? Why? And what adventures await?!"
And... I was slightly disappointed. Well much work was done but it seemed bit rushed with all the 'rebuilt maps' and so on. Also I have still no legit idea as to why and for what reason my TOP 2nd fave companion from BG titles did return? And who was involved?
So there is a possibility of what @morenthar said to happen. The one I would not believe in 1 year ago. We also for almost sure will see some of old Dungeons return. Overall: I'm happy, more or less, like each time new Mod was introduced. But... well not as optimistic as I was ever before.
Let us hope that things will be much better than sad, brokenhearted players like me predict. I really wish it to happen and not wish for any heads to roll.

Well, at the very least, Salvatore is doing the writing. So, you know, get ready for that.

I don't expect the endgame to be any better, no. But it'll be an interesting thing to do for a week or two.
It just struck me - as far as the theme goes, Psionic class would fit Underdark the most. Rage of demons is all about madness and that's what psionic characters involve themselves with.

I'd love to see a psion, but seeing as how 5E still doesn't have a psion (they're playtesting the Mystic, which everyone but me seems to think is the greatest thing since sliced bread I guess), I doubt it's on the top of our list.
That being said, there WILL be undead mind flayers, so psionics will play at least some role, if only in the form of antagonists.
Also, ugh, if there was a psion, I'd have to actually go through and gear up a new toon, and I just don't think I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

Just throwing it out there, but in DnD 4th edition, Monk is a psionic class. The psionic is referred to the source of class powers for example Fighters are Martial, Mages are Arcane, Clerics are Divine, Rangers are Primal, ecc..

With about 3 months left in 2015, and the game needing a morale/interest boost, I hope we hear more about Underdark very soon. In addition to new content, I'd love to have some of the old dungeons and new ones + gear introduced. And, please, let's move away from the grind-heavy content that is/was Elemental Evil, (heck, an alternative path from 61-70 would be wonderful).
