NCL and Leaderboard

Hello, so anyone have any ideas when NCL will begin again ? It was most awesome PvP event in neverwinter (Well it's only PvP event). It had really good rewards and this season NCL rewards should be changed a bit like burning set to Lion and Bullete to other mount. What I liked most was woring Leaderboard where you can really see what you achieved in all day long playing PvP.

    from what we know, NCL is not coming back any time soon or ever.

    While the NCL was fun, it was kind of a sham. The higher your Item Level, the higher your rank.

    Well atleast there was pvp event... For PvP players like me it was incredible, even so I hadn't very good gears. I am hoping Devs will start doing any changes for PvP. Capturing flag is boring. I wish there would be PvP module. Where they would change everything, balance, items(there are 60lvl rings which is remaining unused for a long time I think) and of course mods of PvP, but I think it's just a dreams.

    The Leaderboard and the NCL standings were broken AF. Well the Leaderboard is broken... and the matchmaking system or ELO is broken AF as well.

    Where else can you win a match, nay 3 matches in a row, and go from page 13 to page 347?​​

    Idk, i disagree. While it's true that current leaderboard/ last months leaderboard is not working, i'd say that NCL was the moment when leaderboard was most accurate. I do not recall a situation where my standing was not affected by my performance. Team balance was also the best we ever got so far, during NCL. I never met a stomping premade, and if i remember well, winning an easy match resulted in a small gain, and losing a terrible match vs a premade resulted in a small loss. And going premade or half premade most of the time resulted in your team facing another premade. That's how i remember it. My final standing was the result of many games won through hard work and ability to get along and organize with the players i got in my team each time. I also never got in a pug vs premade during NCL, and i was the whole time at page 30ish of the leaderboard, and borderline top 40.

    Problem right now is that almost no pugs do PvP except for dailies. So you see only, and always, premades or mini-groups of the same PvP guilds, over and over. When i PvP on my 3kish main i end up stomping some weaker team, most of the time. When i play on my 2.3kish HR instead, i see A LOT of 3k-3.5k-4k premades or mini-groups vs full 2k PUG teams. It's too weird to not be premades, when one team gets full 3k-4k players and the other team is formed by 2k undergeared toons. Teams in current domination are usually too blatantly unbalanced to be a matchmaking mistake.

    The devs must find a way to make PvP worth it and fair, or all these big PvP guilds will soon end up alone in empty arenas, playing with their e-penises...

    at least they could implement something that works in a more balanced way, like giving one single map, where most megabuffs like drains+SH boons+mounts+ weapon or armorenchants etc. doesn´t work, to get player back into PVP
    that way everyone can chose between two options
    I bet noone will run SH PVP anymore except he needs that banners, companion bonus is so c.rappy
    and I bet most ppl. will join that kind of PVP, at least I would and I would not be sad loosing all my benefit from wearing that HAMSTER because competing like taht will probably show us that most classes are more balanced than we thought

    Would be nice to implement boxes of lionsmane gear which can be bought with NCL tokens. SH pvp is not accessible.

    only on weekend and going there is more like a bad joke...lags, crappy companion boni (like that new owl bear, lol), and silly matches vs. never dying DC/OP

    if they only would give us a rewardnig alternative to skip such kind of c.rappy content...20k stat mount, 75% +Lifesteal from companions, >100k from a non crit Dot by companions
    do these guys went completely nuts?

    in my opinion they are alone in empty areas for ages and it still dont look like they are moving anywhere. and cryptic doing something? well, they promise complete class balance overhaul in 2016, new matchmaking can open the possibilities for improving pvp
